Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Service form a binding agreement between you and Green Life Science Co., Limited. By accessing the website at greenlifesci.buzz, by sending an enquiry through it, or by engaging us to provide services, you confirm that you accept these terms in full. If you do not accept them, please do not use the website and do not engage our services.
If you are entering this agreement on behalf of a company or another organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation, and the words you and your include that organisation. Please read these terms carefully before you commit to a project or rely on anything published on the website.
2. Definitions
In these terms, the Company, we, us and our mean Green Life Science Co., Limited, whose place of business is Rm A5 7/F ASTORIA BLDG, 34 ASHLEY RD, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong (HK). The Website means the site at greenlifesci.buzz and any page within it. The Services means the environmental monitoring, green facility systems engineering and related services that we provide. A Client means any person or organisation that engages us to provide Services. Deliverables means the reports, drawings, documentation, data and installed systems that we provide as part of the Services.
A Proposal means a written offer we send describing the Services, the price and the schedule. Content means all text, graphics, layout, code and other material published on the Website or supplied by us. These definitions apply wherever the relevant term appears in these terms.
3. Eligibility to Use the Website
The Website and the Services are intended for professional and business users. By using the Website, you confirm that you are at least eighteen years of age and legally able to enter a binding contract. If you use the Website on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to do so.
We reserve the right to refuse service, to restrict access or to close an account where we reasonably believe that a user is not eligible, has provided misleading information, or is using the Website or Services in a way that breaches these terms or the law. We do not intend the Website for children, and we do not knowingly deal with persons under eighteen for commercial engagements.
4. Description of Services
Green Life Science Co., Limited designs sealed environmental monitoring installations and green facility systems. Our work includes environmental sensor networks, humidity and climate control systems, water quality monitoring, green roof and wall engineering, air quality dashboards and field data logging platforms. Each engagement begins with a survey and a written proposal so that the scope, the price and the schedule are clear before work starts.
Descriptions of Services on the Website are provided for information. They do not form part of a contract unless a Proposal expressly incorporates them. The precise scope of any engagement is defined in the Proposal and the contract that follows it, together with any agreed drawings or specifications. Where a description on the Website and a signed Proposal differ, the Proposal governs.
5. Proposals, Orders and Contracts
A Proposal is an invitation to enter a contract, not a contract itself. A contract forms only when you accept a Proposal in writing and we confirm acceptance, or when we begin work with your written instruction. Until a contract is formed, either party may decline to proceed without liability.
Proposals are valid for the period stated in them, or for thirty days if no period is stated. Prices and schedules in a Proposal may depend on assumptions about the site and the scope, and if those assumptions prove incorrect, we will discuss any necessary adjustment with you before proceeding. No variation to an agreed scope is binding unless recorded in writing and accepted by both parties.
6. Client Responsibilities
To deliver a safe and accurate installation, we depend on cooperation from the Client. The Client agrees to provide timely access to the relevant premises, accurate information about the space and its existing systems, and a point of contact who can make decisions during the project. Delays caused by missing access or information may affect the schedule and, where the delay increases our costs, may lead to an adjustment of fees.
The Client is responsible for obtaining any permissions, consents or landlord approvals that the installation requires, and for ensuring that the premises are safe for our team to work in. If we encounter a condition that is unsafe or outside the agreed scope, we may pause work and notify the Client. We will not proceed with work that we reasonably consider unsafe.
7. Fees and Payment
Fees for Services are set out in the Proposal. Unless the Proposal states otherwise, we may require a deposit before work begins, with the balance invoiced on the milestones described in the Proposal or on completion. Invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice, and if no period is stated, within thirty days of the invoice date.
Fees are exclusive of any applicable taxes, duties or third party charges, which the Client is responsible for unless the law provides otherwise. If an invoice remains unpaid beyond its due date, we may suspend work or withhold Deliverables until payment is received, and we may charge interest on overdue amounts where the law allows. Travel and accommodation costs outside the Hong Kong area are charged at cost unless agreed otherwise in writing.
8. Site Access and Installation
Installation work is carried out at times agreed with the Client and, where necessary, coordinated with other contractors on site. We will make reasonable efforts to minimise disruption, but some noise, dust and temporary access restrictions are unavoidable during installation and calibration. The Client agrees to inform building occupants and relevant parties in advance.
Where an installation is suspended or rescheduled at the Client request, we may charge for time already spent and for any non recoverable costs. We will always try to accommodate a change of date, and we will give the Client reasonable notice if a change on our side becomes necessary. Any equipment installed remains our property until paid for in full, unless the contract states otherwise.
9. Data, Monitoring Records and Ownership
Monitoring data generated by a system that we install on a Client site belongs to the Client. We access that data to configure the system, verify its operation, diagnose faults and provide support. We document the interfaces so that the Client is never locked out of data that belongs to it, and we return or transfer records on request at the end of an engagement.
We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. Where a monitoring system is capable of capturing information about identifiable individuals, we require the Client to confirm that it has a lawful basis and any necessary consent before that capability is enabled. The Client remains responsible for the lawfulness of personal data it collects through systems that we install on its behalf.
10. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights in the Website and in our design methods, templates, documentation formats and background know how remain with the Company or its licensors. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of those rights to you. The Website is provided for your information and internal use, and you may not copy, reproduce, republish or redistribute its Content without our written permission, except for reasonable personal or internal business reference.
Where a contract provides that the Client receives Deliverables such as drawings or reports, the Client receives a licence to use those Deliverables for the purpose for which they were provided. Ownership of underlying methods and reusable components remains with the Company, and the Client may not resell or repurpose them for a competing commercial offering without written agreement.
11. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Website lawfully and respectfully. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website or its systems, interfere with its normal operation, introduce malicious code, scrape it at a rate that degrades service, or use it to send spam or unlawful content. You must not misrepresent your identity or your authority to act for another person.
You must not use the Services or the Website in a way that infringes the rights of others, breaches any applicable law, or undermines the security or integrity of a system we have installed. We may suspend access and take appropriate action if we detect a breach, and we may report serious matters to the relevant authorities where the law requires or permits it.
12. Warranties and Disclaimers
We warrant that we will provide the Services with reasonable skill and care, in line with good industry practice and the agreed scope. If a fault arises in our workmanship within the warranty period stated in the contract, we will remedy it within a reasonable time. This warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, unauthorised modification, environmental events outside the design specification, or normal consumable wear.
Except as expressly stated, the Website and its Content are provided on an as is and as available basis. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error free or free of harmful components, and we do not warrant that any information on the Website is complete or current for every purpose. Nothing on the Website is engineering or legal advice for a specific site, and it must not be relied on in place of a survey and a written Proposal.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data or loss of business opportunity, arising from or connected with the Website or the Services. Our total liability in connection with a contract is limited to the fees paid by the Client for the Services giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Where a limitation is unenforceable, it will be reduced to the minimum extent necessary rather than removed entirely.
14. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, employees and agents against claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the Website or Services, or your violation of any law or third party right. This indemnity applies only to the extent that the claim results from your conduct rather than ours.
If a third party brings a claim against you that concerns Deliverables we provided, we will cooperate reasonably in your defence, at your cost, provided you notify us promptly and give us the opportunity to participate. Nothing in this section limits any right you may have to bring a claim against us directly.
15. Third Party Materials and Links
The Website may link to or rely on third party materials, tools and services. We do not control those third parties and we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. Links are provided for convenience only, and their inclusion does not imply endorsement. You use third party materials at your own discretion and subject to their own terms.
Where a project requires integration with a Client existing platform or a third party product, we will confirm compatibility during the brief. We are not responsible for changes that a third party makes to its product after we confirm compatibility, though we will work with the Client to resolve any impact.
16. Confidentiality
Each party may receive confidential information from the other in the course of a project. Each party agrees to keep that information confidential, to use it only for the purpose of the engagement, and to disclose it only to those who need it to perform the work and who are bound by confidentiality obligations. These duties do not apply to information that is already public through no fault of the receiving party, that is independently developed, or that must be disclosed by law.
When an engagement ends, each party will return or destroy confidential information belonging to the other, except where the law or a professional record keeping obligation requires it to be retained. Our handling of personal information is always subject to our Privacy Policy.
17. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Website or the Services if you breach these terms, if payment is overdue, or if continuing would expose us or others to risk. Where practical, we will give notice and an opportunity to remedy the issue before terminating. Either party may terminate a contract for material breach that remains uncured after written notice, or if the other party becomes insolvent.
On termination, the Client remains liable for fees for work performed and costs committed up to the termination date. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including those concerning intellectual property, confidentiality, liability and governing law, will continue to apply.
18. Governing Law and Disputes
These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, without regard to conflict of law rules. The courts of Hong Kong have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, unless we agree otherwise in writing or the law requires a different forum.
Before starting formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us so that we can try to resolve the matter directly. Many issues can be settled quickly through a conversation. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may pursue the remedies available under the applicable law.
19. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our Services or the law. When we make a material change, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice. The version that applies to a particular contract is the version in force when that contract was formed, unless the contract states otherwise.
Continuing to use the Website after an update takes effect means that you accept the revised terms. If you do not agree with a change, you may stop using the Website and, if you are a Client, contact us to discuss how it affects your engagement.
20. Contact Information
Questions about these Terms of Service should be sent to our studio. We will respond as quickly as we can.
