Terms of Service

Last updated: 4 June 2026

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of this website and any engagement entered into with ByteCraft Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong with Business Registration No. 78098758, having its registered office at 1603, 16th Floor, The L. Plaza, 367–375 Queen’s Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong (“ByteCraft”, “we”, “us”).

1. Scope of services

ByteCraft provides web development, technical maintenance, and managed hosting services for small and mid-sized businesses. Each engagement is governed by a separate written engagement letter or statement of work which prevails over these Terms in case of conflict.

We do not take on engagements with Hong Kong companies or Hong Kong residents. We do not provide financial, legal, tax, investment or regulated services of any kind.

2. Engagement process

Our standard engagement follows three phases as described on our main page:

Discovery call — an informal scoping conversation, free of charge and non-binding;
Written scope — a detailed written proposal with deliverables, milestones and timeline;
Build and handover — execution against the written scope, followed by handover and optional ongoing support.

No legally binding engagement exists until both parties have signed an engagement letter or statement of work, and any conditions precedent set out therein have been satisfied.

3. Commercial terms

The commercial terms for each engagement — including any consideration, milestones, and settlement schedule — are set out in the relevant engagement letter or statement of work. Where a settlement schedule is agreed and not met, we may, at our discretion, suspend ongoing work and apply interest at the statutory rate under Hong Kong law.

4. Intellectual property

Subject to the client meeting its obligations under the engagement, the client receives a perpetual, worldwide licence (or, where expressly agreed, an assignment) of the deliverables specifically created for the client. We retain ownership of all pre-existing materials, tools, libraries, generic code patterns, and know-how, and may continue to use them on other engagements without restriction.

5. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other in the course of an engagement, and to use such information only for the purposes of the engagement. Confidentiality obligations survive termination for a period of three years.

6. Warranties and disclaimers

We will perform our services with reasonable care and skill in accordance with prevailing professional standards. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all other warranties, conditions and representations (express or implied) are excluded. This website and its contents are provided on an “as is” basis without warranty of any kind.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ByteCraft’s total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with any engagement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, shall be limited to the total value of the engagement attributable to the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of goodwill or loss of data.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement on written notice in accordance with the engagement letter. On termination, the client remains responsible for any obligations accrued up to the effective date of termination in accordance with the engagement letter.

9. Force majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, governmental action, internet or telecommunications outages, or disruptions to third-party cloud providers.

10. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms and any engagement are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Disputes arising out of or in connection with them are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Hong Kong courts, unless arbitration in Hong Kong under the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) rules is agreed in writing.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available at this URL with the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Changes do not retroactively affect engagements already in progress.

12. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent via the contact form on our main page, or by telephone on 9847 3261.
