4. Engagement of Services
4.1 Statements of Work
All professional services engagements between Green Horizon Studio and a Client are governed by a mutually executed Statement of Work. Each SOW will describe, at minimum: the scope of services to be performed, the deliverables to be produced, the project timeline and milestones, the fees and payment schedule, any assumptions and dependencies, any Client obligations required for the project to proceed, and any specific terms that modify or supplement these general Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a specific SOW, the SOW shall prevail with respect to the particular engagement it describes.
4.2 Client Obligations
To enable us to perform the Services effectively, you agree to:
- Provide timely access to relevant personnel, systems, documentation, and information reasonably required for the engagement.
- Designate a point of contact with decision-making authority for the project.
- Review and respond to deliverables, questions, and requests for feedback within the timeframes specified in the SOW.
- Ensure that any materials, data, or intellectual property you provide to us for use in the engagement does not infringe on the rights of any third party.
4.3 Fees and Payment
Fees for Services are set forth in the applicable SOW. Unless otherwise stated in the SOW:
- Invoices are issued on a monthly basis or upon completion of defined milestones, as specified in the SOW.
- Payment is due within thirty calendar days of the invoice date.
- Late payments may incur interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower.
- All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which will be itemized separately on each invoice.
- Reasonable travel and accommodation expenses incurred in the course of providing Services, if pre-approved in the SOW, will be billed at cost.
4.4 Change Requests
Either party may propose changes to the scope, timeline, or deliverables of an engagement. Any change that materially affects the scope, cost, or schedule of the Services must be documented in a written Change Request, and will become effective only upon mutual written agreement. Work on a proposed change will not commence until the Change Request is approved by both parties, except where we mutually agree in writing to proceed on a time-and-materials basis pending formal approval.
5. Intellectual Property
5.1 Pre-Existing Intellectual Property
Each party retains all right, title, and interest in and to its pre-existing intellectual property. Any materials, tools, frameworks, libraries, methodologies, know-how, or other intellectual property that Green Horizon Studio owned or developed prior to the engagement, or that we develop independently during the engagement without use of the Clients confidential information, remain the exclusive property of Green Horizon Studio.
5.2 Deliverables
Unless otherwise specified in the SOW, upon full payment of all fees due for an engagement, Green Horizon Studio assigns to the Client all right, title, and interest in and to the custom Deliverables created specifically for the Client under that SOW. This assignment excludes any pre-existing intellectual property of Green Horizon Studio embedded in the Deliverables, for which we grant the Client a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, modify, and reproduce solely in connection with the Clients own internal business operations.
5.3 Open Source Software
Where Deliverables incorporate open-source software components, those components remain subject to their respective open-source licenses. We will identify any open-source components and their applicable licenses in the project documentation. The terms of the applicable open-source license govern your use of those components and supersede these Terms with respect to those components.
5.4 Website Content
All content published on our website, including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, is the property of Green Horizon Studio or its content suppliers and is protected by Hong Kong and international copyright laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any of the material on our website without our prior written consent, except as explicitly permitted in Section 3.1.
6. Confidentiality
Each party acknowledges that in the course of the engagement it may receive confidential information from the other party. Confidential information means any information disclosed by one party to the other, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. This includes, but is not limited to, trade secrets, business plans, technical designs, source code, customer data, financial information, and the terms of any SOW.
Each party agrees to:
- Protect the other partys confidential information using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care.
- Use confidential information solely for the purpose of performing obligations or exercising rights under these Terms and the applicable SOW.
- Limit access to confidential information to employees, contractors, and advisors who have a legitimate need to know and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this section.
The obligations of confidentiality do not apply to information that: is or becomes publicly available through no breach of these Terms; was lawfully in the receiving partys possession prior to disclosure; is rightfully received from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; or is independently developed without reference to the disclosing partys confidential information. A party may disclose confidential information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, provided that the receiving party gives the disclosing party prompt notice and reasonable assistance to enable the disclosing party to seek a protective order or other remedy.
The obligations of confidentiality survive the termination or expiration of any SOW for a period of five years, or indefinitely with respect to trade secrets.
7. Warranties and Disclaimers
7.1 Service Warranty
Green Horizon Studio warrants that the Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with generally accepted industry standards. This warranty is valid for a period of thirty days from the completion of the applicable Deliverable, as defined in the SOW. During this period, we will, at our option, re-perform any non-conforming Services or correct any material defects in the Deliverables that are reported to us in writing within the warranty period.
7.2 Website Disclaimer
The website and all information, content, materials, and services included on or otherwise made available to you through the website are provided on an as is and as available basis without any representations or warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and title. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from viruses or other harmful components, or that any defects will be corrected.
7.3 No Guarantee of Results
While we apply our expertise and diligence to every engagement, we do not guarantee specific business outcomes, revenue increases, cost reductions, or performance metrics except where such guarantees are explicitly stated in a duly executed SOW. Technology projects inherently involve uncertainty and risk, and the Client acknowledges that results may vary based on factors outside our control.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the exceptions stated below:
- Neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of data, business interruption, or cost of substitute goods or services, however caused, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
- The total aggregate liability of Green Horizon Studio for any and all claims arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any Services provided, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by the Client to Green Horizon Studio under the specific SOW giving rise to the claim during the twelve months immediately preceding the event that gave rise to the liability.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes either partys liability for: death or personal injury caused by negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; any breach of the obligations implied by applicable law where such liability cannot be excluded; or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
9. Indemnification
Each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:
- With respect to the Client: your use of our website in violation of these Terms; your breach of any of your obligations, representations, or warranties under these Terms or any SOW; any claim that materials or data you provided to us infringe a third partys intellectual property rights; or your violation of applicable law.
- With respect to Green Horizon Studio: any claim that the Deliverables, as delivered and used in accordance with the SOW, infringe a third partys intellectual property rights, except to the extent such claim arises from the Clients materials, modifications, or use of the Deliverables in combination with products or services not provided by us.
The indemnified party shall: promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any claim; give the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that any settlement that imposes an admission of liability or ongoing obligation on the indemnified party requires its prior written consent; and provide reasonable cooperation, at the indemnifying partys expense, in the defense of the claim.

These Terms of Service remain in effect for as long as you use our website or until any SOW between us has been completed or terminated.
10.2 Termination of SOW
Unless otherwise specified in the SOW, either party may terminate a SOW:

- Each party shall, within fourteen calendar days, return or destroy all confidential information of the other party in its possession, except that each party may retain copies as required by law or professional record-keeping obligations.
- The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to provisions concerning confidentiality, intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.
11. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms or any SOW due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government orders or regulations, pandemics or epidemics, labor disputes, failures of the internet or telecommunications infrastructure, or failures of third-party hosting or cloud services. The affected party shall notify the other party promptly of the force majeure event and its expected duration, and shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact and resume performance as soon as practicable. If a force majeure event continues for more than thirty calendar days, either party may terminate the affected SOW upon written notice.
12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
12.1 Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
12.2 Informal Resolution
Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. The party raising a dispute shall provide the other party with written notice describing the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. Within fourteen calendar days of such notice, senior representatives of both parties shall meet, either in person or by video conference, to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith.
12.3 Arbitration
If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or any SOW shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
12.4 Exceptions
Notwithstanding the dispute resolution provisions above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its intellectual property rights or confidential information.
13. Third-Party Services
Our website and Services may integrate with or depend upon third-party platforms, tools, APIs, cloud services, and software that we do not control. We are not responsible for the availability, performance, security, or functionality of any third-party service. The Client acknowledges that its use of any third-party services in connection with our Deliverables is subject to that third partys terms and policies, and Green Horizon Studio makes no warranty and assumes no liability regarding such third-party services.
14. Non-Solicitation
During the term of any SOW and for a period of twelve months thereafter, neither party shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, directly or indirectly solicit for employment or engagement any employee or contractor of the other party who was materially involved in the performance of the Services. This restriction does not apply to hiring resulting from general public solicitations, such as job advertisements, not specifically targeted at the other partys personnel.
15. General Provisions

These Terms, together with any applicable SOW, constitute the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, whether written or oral.
15.2 Amendments
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to this page with an updated effective date. For material changes, we will provide at least thirty days notice on our website. Your continued use of the website after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. Changes to Terms will not retroactively affect any SOW in progress at the time the change takes effect; such SOWs will be governed by the Terms in effect at the time the SOW was executed.
15.3 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
15.4 Waiver
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. A waiver of any breach shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party.
15.5 Assignment
The Client may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under these Terms or any SOW without the prior written consent of Green Horizon Studio. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to a successor in interest in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, provided that the assignee agrees in writing to be bound by these Terms.
15.6 Relationship of the Parties
Green Horizon Studio and the Client are independent contractors.
