Terms of service

Last updated: 23 July 2026

Please note: this page sets out general terms of business and is provided for information only. It is not legal advice and does not create a solicitor–client relationship. These terms should be reviewed and adapted by a Hong Kong solicitor before they are relied on for any particular engagement.

1. Acceptance of these terms

These terms of service (the “Terms”) govern your use of this website and, where stated, the services provided by Lion Rock Technology Limited (“Lion Rock Technology”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By using this website you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site.

For paid work, these Terms apply together with the quotation and the statement of work agreed with you. Where a signed document conflicts with these Terms, the signed document takes priority.

2. Use of this website

You may read, print and share pages of this site for your own business or personal reference. You may not do any of the following.

  • Scrape, crawl, harvest or bulk-copy the content of this site by automated means without our written permission.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its server or any connected system, or interfere with how the site runs.
  • Use the site to send unsolicited marketing, distribute malicious code, or do anything unlawful.
  • Copy our text, images, page designs or code and present them as your own.

All content on this site — text, graphics, layout, logos and code — belongs to Lion Rock Technology Limited or to its licensors unless we say otherwise. Product names and trade marks of other companies belong to their respective owners.

3. Accuracy of site content and external links

We keep this site up to date as far as we reasonably can, but we give no guarantee that everything on it is accurate, complete or current. Service descriptions, case studies, timelines and figures are illustrative. Nothing on this site is an offer capable of acceptance, and nothing on it is professional advice. Rely on a written quotation or statement of work, not on a web page.

Some pages link to third-party websites and app stores. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, products or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

4. Scope of services and how engagements are defined

We provide mobile app development, web development, UI/UX design, cloud and enterprise IT, NGO and non-profit solutions, and AI product development.

An engagement begins only when two things exist: a written quotation issued by us and accepted by you, and a written statement of work (“SOW”) confirmed in writing by both parties. Together these define the scope, deliverables, assumptions, milestones, timeline, fees and acceptance criteria for that engagement, and they govern it.

Anything not described in the quotation or the SOW is out of scope. That includes work that may appear related or obvious but has not been written down. Changes to scope are handled through a written change request, which may affect fees and delivery dates.

5. Quotations, fees and payment

  • A quotation is valid for the period stated on it. If no period is stated, it is valid for 30 days from its date.
  • Quotations are based on the information you give us. If that information turns out to be materially different, we may revise the quotation before work starts.
  • Fees exclude third-party costs — hosting, cloud usage, app store fees, domain names, paid licences, message delivery and paid APIs — unless the quotation lists them. These are charged at cost or paid by you directly.
  • Unless the quotation says otherwise, invoices are payable within [Company to insert] days of the invoice date.
  • Invoices are issued as milestones are completed. A deposit may be required before work starts.
  • If an invoice is overdue, we may suspend work after giving you written notice. Suspension moves the delivery timeline.
  • All fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies or duties that apply.

6. Your responsibilities as a client

Delivering on time depends on you as much as on us. You agree to do the following.

  • Give us accurate and complete information, and name a single point of contact with authority to make decisions.
  • Provide content — text, images, data and translations — in the agreed formats and by the dates set in the SOW.
  • Give us timely access to the systems, environments, accounts and staff we need to do the work.
  • Review deliverables and give consolidated written feedback or approval within the review periods set in the SOW.
  • Hold third-party accounts in your own name where the service requires it — for example app store developer accounts, cloud accounts, domains and payment gateways — and pay their fees.
  • Confirm that you own, or have permission to use, all content and data you give us, and that our agreed use of it will not infringe anyone’s rights.

If approvals, access or materials are late, delivery dates move accordingly and reasonable standby or re-planning charges may apply.

7. Intellectual property

What transfers to you. On full payment of all fees due for an engagement, we assign to you the intellectual property rights in the custom deliverables built specifically for you under that statement of work — the bespoke source code, designs and documentation identified as deliverables.

What we retain. We keep ownership of everything we bring to the engagement or develop for general use: our pre-existing frameworks, libraries, tools, components, templates, methods, know-how, and our general skills and experience. Where these are embedded in a deliverable, we grant you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to use them as part of that deliverable. You may not extract them and license, sell or distribute them separately.

Until full payment is received, all rights in the deliverables remain with us and any licence to use them is provisional and revocable.

We would like to name you and describe the work in our portfolio. We will ask for your written permission first, and we will not disclose confidential details.

8. Third-party and open-source components

Modern software is built on third-party and open-source components. We select them with care, but they are written by other authors and supplied under their own licences.

You receive those components under their own licence terms, not under ours. We do not own them and we cannot give warranties for them. Where an engagement needs commercial third-party licences or subscriptions, those are your responsibility unless the quotation says otherwise. On request we will give you a list of the significant third-party components used in your deliverables.

9. Confidentiality

Each party may receive non-public information from the other. Each party agrees to keep the other’s confidential information secret, to use it only for the engagement, and to disclose it only to staff and subcontractors who need it and who are bound by equivalent obligations.

This does not apply to information that is already public through no fault of the receiving party, was already lawfully known to it, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law or by a regulator — in which case the receiving party will tell the other party first, where it is lawful to do so.

Confidentiality obligations continue after the engagement ends. Personal data is handled in the way described in our privacy policy.

10. Warranties and warranty period

We warrant that we will perform the services with reasonable skill and care, in a professional manner, and using people with appropriate skills.

We warrant that the deliverables will materially conform to the specification in the statement of work for a warranty period of [Company to insert] from acceptance, unless the statement of work sets a different period. During that period we will correct reproducible defects at no charge.

The warranty does not cover changes made by you or by a third party; use outside the agreed environment or specification; faults in third-party services, hardware or networks; content or data you supplied; or new features and change requests, which are quoted separately. Support after the warranty period is available under a separate maintenance agreement.

Other than as stated in this section, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all other warranties, express or implied. We do not warrant that software will be free of every defect or that it will run without interruption.

11. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Subject to that, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with an engagement is limited to the total fees actually paid by you to us for that engagement in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or anticipated savings, or for loss or corruption of data, however caused.

We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events outside our reasonable control.

This website is provided on an “as is” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website.

12. Term and termination

An engagement runs until the deliverables are accepted and paid for, or until it is terminated.

Either party may terminate an engagement for convenience by giving 30 days’ written notice. Either party may terminate immediately if the other commits a material breach and does not remedy it within 30 days of written notice, or becomes insolvent.

On termination you pay for all work performed and all third-party costs committed up to the termination date. We will hand over the completed work you have paid for in a reasonable format. The sections on intellectual property, confidentiality, liability and governing law survive termination.

13. Changes to this site and to these terms

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of this website at any time without notice.

We may also update these Terms. The version published on this page is the current one and applies from the date shown at the top. For an engagement already under way, the version in force when the statement of work was agreed continues to apply unless both parties agree in writing to the new version. Please check this page from time to time.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or with an engagement, are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Hong Kong SAR. Before starting proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through their senior representatives.
