2. Acceptance

By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

3. What this website is for

hkqcc.com provides information about our product inspection and factory audit services, and a way to contact us for a quote or booking enquiry. The site is aimed at professional buyers — mainly US, UK and EU importers and Amazon sellers — who source in China, Vietnam, India and Southeast Asia.

Nothing on this website is legal, compliance, or financial advice. Service descriptions (including checklists) are general explanations; the scope of any actual inspection or audit is agreed when you book.

4. Enquiries, quotes and bookings

Submitting a form, sending an email, or calling us is an enquiry. It does not by itself create a binding contract for an inspection or audit.

A service is booked only when we confirm the booking in writing (typically by email), including the service type, location, date and commercial terms.

We do not publish man-day rates, minimum charges, or other dollar amounts on this website. Quotes are provided privately, in USD, in response to an enquiry. New-customer promotional wording (currently: 50% off the first 3 inspections, to be used within 1 month, and not valid for factory audits or SA8000) is described on the New customer offer page. Eligibility and the one-month window are confirmed when you book.

We do not collect payment card details through this website.

5. Accuracy of website content

We take care to keep information on this website accurate and current, but content may be updated, and we do not warrant that every page is complete or error-free at all times.

Where we refer to our ISO 9001:2015 certification (DQS, certificate no. 50150206 QM15, valid 2022-06-02 to 2028-06-01), the certificate image displayed may still show a previous office address until a reissued certificate with the current address is available.

6. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the text, layout, logo and other materials on this website are owned by Hong Kong Q.C. Center Ltd. or used with permission. You may browse and print pages for your own internal business use. You may not copy, republish, or use the site content or our logo for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.

Our external English tagline is Be Certain to Thrive.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the site in a way that is unlawful or that disrupts the site or other users
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its hosting, or related systems
  • Submit false or misleading contact details, or content that you do not have the right to send
  • Use the enquiry form to send malware, spam, or payment card numbers

8. Third-party links

The site may include links to third-party websites (for example a map of our office building). Those links are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for third-party content or practices.

9. Limitation of liability for website use (draft — confirm with counsel)

These terms concern use of the website. They are not a substitute for the terms that will apply to a confirmed inspection or audit booking.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, HKQCC is not liable for loss arising solely from your use of, or inability to use, this website or from reliance on general information published here. This draft does not set a numerical cap or exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded. Counsel should settle the final limitation language, and should confirm that service-liability terms (if any) live in the booking confirmation or a separate service agreement — not in this page. [Legal review required.]

10. Governing law (draft — confirm with counsel)

Hong Kong Q.C. Center Ltd. is a Hong Kong company, and this website is operated from Hong Kong. A working proposal for counsel — not a settled position — is that these website terms, and any dispute about use of the website, be governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, with the courts of Hong Kong having jurisdiction. This must be confirmed before publication, especially given that many site visitors are in the US, UK and EU. [Legal review required.]

11. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change when a revised version is published on this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
