These Terms of Service set out the agreement between you and Suizhou Xiao Bu E-commerce Co., Ltd., registered at Rm 303, Unit 4, Qinghe Xingyuan, Beijiao, Zengdu District, Suizhou - 441300, China (CN), regarding your use of this website and the computer systems design and computer integrated systems design services offered through it. The services are developed and operated by the developer XiaoBu on behalf of the company. Please read these terms carefully before using our website or engaging our services. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not use this website or our services.
These Terms of Service govern the relationship between you, the visitor, client or prospective client, and the company in connection with the website located at the domain used by the company and the services described on that website. The company provides technology services for businesses, with a focus on computer systems design and computer integrated systems design for e-commerce operations. These services are developed and operated by the developer XiaoBu on behalf of the company.
The purpose of these terms is to make the expectations on both sides clear from the outset. We believe that a good working relationship is built on clarity, honesty and mutual respect, and this document is part of that foundation. It describes what we provide, what we expect from clients, how payments work, and how we handle problems when they arise.
Where a separate written contract is signed between the company and a client, the terms of that contract will govern the specific engagement, and these Terms of Service will apply to the extent they do not conflict with the signed contract. Where no separate contract exists, these terms apply in full to your use of the website and any services we provide.
By accessing this website, by submitting an enquiry through our contact form, or by engaging us to provide services, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you are using our website or services on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these terms.
If you do not agree to these terms, you are free to stop using this website and to refrain from engaging our services. Browsing the public pages of this website does not require you to accept any contract with us, but continuing to use the website after reading these terms will be treated as acceptance of them.
These terms apply to all visitors, whether or not they become clients. They also apply to anyone who accesses our services through a client account, and each such user agrees to be bound by the same rules as the client who invited them.
The company provides a range of technology services in the field of computer systems design and related services, including computer integrated systems design. In practical terms, our work includes analysing a client business, designing technology architectures that fit that business, integrating existing software tools and platforms, building new components where needed, and operating the resulting systems.
Our typical projects involve e-commerce operations. We help clients connect their online storefronts with payment gateways, inventory systems, order management tools, fulfilment partners and accounting software. The goal is to replace a patchwork of disconnected tools with a single, coherent system in which data flows reliably from one component to the next.
The precise scope of any engagement, including the deliverables, the timeline and the fees, will be defined in a proposal or written contract before work begins. Nothing in these Terms of Service obliges us to perform work that is not described in a signed proposal or contract, and every engagement is scoped to the needs of the individual client.
We may update the range of services we offer from time to time, add new services or retire older ones. We will not discontinue a service that we are contractually obliged to provide to an active client without giving that client reasonable notice and a fair path forward.
Our services are intended for businesses and professional users. By using our website or services you confirm that you are at least eighteen years of age and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. We do not direct our services at children, and children may not create accounts or purchase our services.
Where a service requires an account, you are responsible for providing accurate and complete information at registration and for keeping that information up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding any passwords or access credentials associated with your account, and you are responsible for all activity that takes place under your account.
You must notify us promptly if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or any breach of security. We may suspend or close an account where we reasonably believe it is being used in violation of these terms or in a way that threatens the security of our systems or other clients.
Successful projects depend on a genuine partnership, and that means both sides have responsibilities. As a client, you agree to provide accurate information about your business, your systems and your requirements. If we build to a specification that turns out to be based on incorrect information, you accept that changes will be required to correct it.
You agree to make the right people available during the project. Our team needs access to decision makers, to the staff who use your systems, and to the credentials and documentation required to complete integrations. Delays in providing access or information may reasonably extend the project timeline.
You agree to review and respond to our work at agreed checkpoints. A project moves most efficiently when feedback is timely and specific. Where a client does not respond within a reasonable agreed period, we may proceed on the basis of the last agreed direction or pause the work until a response is received.
You agree to use the systems we build in accordance with their intended purpose and with all applicable laws. You remain responsible for your own business decisions, your own content and your own compliance with the rules that apply to your industry.
In return, we make clear commitments to you. We commit to performing our work with reasonable skill and care, to the standard expected of a professional technology services provider. We commit to keeping you informed with plain-language updates at agreed intervals, so that you always know where your project stands.
We commit to respecting your data and your confidential information as described in our Privacy Policy and in the confidentiality clause of these terms. We commit to working within the scope agreed in your proposal or contract, and to raising any changes to that scope with you before doing work that would incur additional cost.
We commit to being honest about what is possible. Where a requirement cannot be met in the way you have described, we will tell you and propose a practical alternative rather than promising something we cannot deliver. We believe that honesty at the planning stage prevents disappointment at the delivery stage.
Fees for our services are described in each proposal, quotation or written contract. Unless otherwise agreed, all fees are payable in the currency stated in the proposal, and they are exclusive of any taxes or duties that may apply in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for such taxes unless we are required by law to collect them.
Payment terms are stated in each proposal. Typically, we may ask for an initial deposit before work begins, with the balance payable at agreed milestones or on completion. Work that is invoiced is payable within the period stated on the invoice, unless a different arrangement has been agreed in writing.
Where a client changes the scope of a project, we will agree any additional fees in writing before performing the additional work. Additional fees will reflect the time and materials reasonably required to complete the changed scope.
If payment is not received by the due date, we may pause work on the project until payment is received. We may also charge interest on late payments at the rate permitted by applicable law, and we may recover reasonable costs incurred in collecting overdue amounts.
The intellectual property created in the course of our projects is allocated clearly between the parties. This allocation is designed to give the client ownership of what they paid for, while preserving our ability to build on our own knowledge and methods.
For bespoke work delivered to a client, and once full payment has been received, the client owns the specific deliverables created for that engagement, such as the configuration, the code written specifically for the project and the documentation prepared for them. This ownership does not include our underlying tools, libraries, templates or methodologies.
We retain all rights in our own pre-existing materials, our internal tools, our development frameworks and any general-purpose components we use across multiple projects. We also retain the right to reuse experience and general knowledge gained during a project, provided that reuse does not disclose the client confidential information or copy client-owned deliverables for a competing business.
All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos and the design of the site itself, is owned by the company or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce or distribute the content of this website for commercial purposes without our written permission.
Both parties may disclose confidential information to each other during the course of a project. Confidential information includes any non-public information that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, including business plans, financial data, technical specifications, client lists and project details.
Each party agrees to keep the other confidential information secret, to use it only for the purpose of the engagement, and to disclose it only to those people who need it for that purpose. Each party will protect the other confidential information with at least the same care it uses for its own confidential information.
These obligations do not apply to information that is already public, that is independently developed, that is lawfully received from a third party, or that is required to be disclosed by law. Where disclosure is required by law, the party making the disclosure will, where lawful and practical, notify the other party in advance.
The confidentiality obligations in this clause survive the end of the engagement and continue to apply for as long as the information remains confidential.
Our handling of personal information is described in detail in our Privacy Policy, which is published on this website and incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference. You should read the Privacy Policy together with these terms, because both documents work together to describe how we use information.
During an engagement, the client remains the owner of the business data that flows through the systems we build. We act as a processor of that data where required by law, and we handle it in accordance with the client instructions and the applicable law. We do not use client business data for our own purposes beyond the operation and improvement of the services we deliver to that client.
We will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data as described in our Privacy Policy. Where the law requires a data processing agreement, we will enter into one with the client on reasonable terms.
You agree to use this website and our services only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not harm the company, other clients or third parties. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems, to interfere with the operation of our services, or to use our services to transmit malware, unlawful content or unsolicited bulk messages.
You must not use our website in any way that could damage, disable or impair the site or the servers on which it runs. You must not attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of our systems without authorisation, and you must not use automated tools to scrape content from the website without permission.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to our services where we reasonably believe a user is engaging in unacceptable use, and we may cooperate with authorities in the investigation of unlawful activity.
We warrant that the services we provide will be performed with reasonable skill and care and in accordance with the scope agreed in the relevant proposal or contract. We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the systems we deliver operate in line with the agreed specification.
Except as expressly stated in these terms or in a signed contract, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, our website and services are provided as they are, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. This includes any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that our website or services will be uninterrupted, error-free or completely secure, or that the results obtained from the use of our services will meet every expectation of the client. Technology systems depend on many factors outside our control, and we cannot guarantee outcomes that depend on third-party platforms or on how the client operates the systems.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunities, arising out of or relating to the use of this website or our services.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total liability of the company for all claims arising out of or relating to a particular engagement, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall not exceed the total fees paid or payable by the client for that engagement. For claims arising out of the use of this website, the total liability shall not exceed one hundred US dollars.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the company, its officers, employees, contractors and the developer of the services from and against any claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to your use of this website or our services.
This indemnity covers claims arising from your breach of these Terms of Service, your violation of applicable law, or your infringement of the rights of any third party. It also covers claims arising from content or data that you provide or upload in connection with a project, and from the way you operate the systems we deliver.
Where the company is entitled to the benefit of this indemnity, the client will cooperate fully in the defence of the relevant claim at the client own expense, and the company will give the client reasonable notice of any claim falling within this clause.
These Terms of Service apply from the date you first access the website and remain in effect until terminated as described below. A specific engagement is governed by the term stated in the relevant proposal or contract, and it ends when the agreed work and any agreed support period are complete.
Either party may terminate an ongoing engagement by written notice where the other party has committed a material breach of the agreement and has failed to remedy that breach within a reasonable period after receiving notice. A material breach includes, but is not limited to, non-payment of fees and serious failure to meet agreed responsibilities.
Upon termination, the client will pay all fees due for work performed up to the date of termination, and each party will return or destroy the confidential information of the other party as instructed. Clauses that are intended to survive termination, including those relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, limitation of liability and indemnification, will continue to apply.
Many of our projects rely on third-party platforms and services, such as e-commerce platforms, payment gateways, hosting providers and communication tools. These third parties are separate businesses with their own terms and conditions, and we do not control their services.
We will select reputable third-party services and will make reasonable efforts to configure them correctly, but we cannot guarantee the availability, performance or continued existence of services we do not own. Where a third-party provider changes its terms, pricing or technical interfaces, we will work with the client to adapt, but we are not liable for changes made by third parties outside our control.
The client is responsible for complying with the terms of any third-party services they use in connection with our work. Our website may also contain links to third-party websites, and we are not responsible for the content or practices of those sites.
Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these terms where that failure or delay is caused by events outside its reasonable control. Such events include natural disasters, war, civil unrest, pandemics, public health orders, major utility or network failures, and government actions.
A party affected by a force majeure event will notify the other party as soon as reasonably possible and will use reasonable efforts to minimise the impact and to resume performance as soon as conditions allow. Where a force majeure event continues for a significant period, the parties may discuss the fair adjustment of timelines, fees or scope.
We may revise these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in our services, our business or the law. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and post the revised terms here.
Where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to bring them to your attention, such as a notice on the website or a message to the contact details we hold for active clients. Your continued use of the website or services after a revision is published will be treated as acceptance of the revised terms.
Changes to these terms do not retroactively alter the terms of a signed contract with an existing client. Each signed contract remains governed by the terms in effect at the time it was signed, unless the contract expressly provides otherwise.
These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the People Republic of China, without regard to conflict of law principles. The courts of China will have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the use of our website and services.
Before commencing formal proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through friendly negotiation. If a dispute is not resolved within a reasonable period through negotiation, either party may escalate the matter as provided by law.
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its confidential information, intellectual property or other rights where urgent relief is necessary.
If you have questions about these Terms of Service, about a project, or about any aspect of our services, please contact us. We will respond as promptly as we can, and we will be glad to explain anything in these terms that is unclear.
