These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the chinahand.biz website (“Website”) and the information and materials made available through it.

The Website is operated by an independent consultant trading and operating under the business name China Hand (“China Hand”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms.

Any consultancy or other services provided by China Hand are subject to separate written engagement terms.

You agree to use the Website lawfully and responsibly.

You must not misuse the Website, interfere with its operation, attempt to gain unauthorised access to restricted areas or systems, or use the Website in a manner that may damage, disable or impair its operation.

Intellectual Property

All content on the Website, including text, graphics, branding, logos, design, structure and other materials, is owned by or licensed to China Hand and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view and use the Website for your own lawful, non-commercial purposes.

China Hand Consultancy

China Hand provides China-related business consultancy, guidance, analysis and practical insight.

The Website describes the nature and philosophy of the China Hand consultancy.

Business in China is not an exact science.

China is a dynamic and continually evolving marketplace. Commercial circumstances, relationships, expectations, economic conditions, business practices and other relevant factors may change.

Accordingly, China-related business may require continuous observation, updating, interpretation and, where appropriate, a change of approach.

China Hand’s consultancy is therefore based on experience, available information and an assessment of circumstances at the relevant time.

China Hand does not provide a fixed formula or guarantee of success in China.

No Professional or Regulated Advice

China Hand does not provide:

  • legal advice or legal opinions;

  • legal representation;

  • financial or investment advice;

  • accounting or audit services;

  • tax advice;

  • customs or trade-compliance advice;

  • immigration advice;

  • regulated securities or investment services; or

  • any other professional or regulated service requiring specific professional qualifications, licensing or statutory authorisation.

Information, views, observations and analysis published on the Website are provided for general information and China-related business consultancy purposes only.

They must not be treated as a substitute for independent legal, financial, tax, regulatory or other specialist professional advice.

Where a matter requires specialist or regulated advice, the appropriate professional and regulatory channels should be followed.

Website Information and Disclaimer

Although China Hand seeks to provide information and views based on experience and reasonable judgement, we do not warrant or guarantee that information on the Website is complete, accurate, current or suitable for any particular person, business, transaction or circumstance.

Circumstances may change and information which was accurate or relevant at one time may subsequently become outdated or inapplicable.

You should not rely solely upon information obtained from the Website when making commercial, legal, financial, investment, tax, regulatory or other significant decisions.

Any decision to act upon information or views obtained from the Website is made at your own risk and responsibility.

No Guarantee of Outcome

China Hand does not guarantee or warrant that:

  • a particular business opportunity will succeed;

  • a particular business relationship, negotiation or transaction will produce a desired result;

  • any person or organisation will act in a particular manner; or

  • any particular commercial, financial or other outcome will be achieved.

The purpose of China Hand is to provide experience, perspective, interpretation and guidance.

No Consultancy Relationship Created by Website Use

Nothing on the Website creates a consultancy engagement, professional relationship, agency relationship, employment relationship or other contractual relationship between China Hand and a Website visitor.

A consultancy relationship is created only where China Hand and a client enter into a separate written engagement or other express agreement.

The terms applicable to any consultancy engagement may differ from these Website Terms.

Client Responsibility

Clients engaging China Hand are responsible for:

  • providing information which is accurate and reasonably complete;

  • making their own commercial and business decisions;

  • obtaining appropriate professional advice where required;

  • assessing the risks associated with any proposed transaction or course of action; and

  • complying with all laws, regulations and professional requirements applicable to their activities.

China Hand shall not be responsible for outcomes materially affected by incomplete, inaccurate or misleading information provided by a client.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, China Hand shall not be liable for:

  • loss of profits, revenue or business opportunities;

  • indirect, consequential, special or incidental loss or damage; or

  • loss or damage arising from actions taken in reliance upon information, views or insights provided on the Website.

China Hand shall not be liable for loss or damage arising from reliance upon incomplete, inaccurate or outdated information, except to the extent that such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties.

China Hand is not responsible for the content, availability, security, accuracy or privacy practices of third-party websites.

The inclusion of a third-party link does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by China Hand.

You access third-party websites at your own risk.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Any dispute arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory legal requirements applicable to the relevant dispute.

Changes to These Terms

China Hand may update these Terms from time to time.

The updated Terms will be published on the Website.

Your continued use of the Website after updated Terms have been published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
