By creating an account, subscribing to any plan, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms.

You must be of the legal age required to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction in order to use the Service.

The Service provides curated buyer and trade datasets and lets you ask questions in plain language, generate reports, and run analyses; based on the product information you provide, it can also help assess buyer fit and generate outreach drafts to support your overseas market expansion and customer acquisition. The Service is available in English and Chinese.

We may add, modify, or discontinue features, datasets, or analytical capabilities from time to time. We strive to maintain continuity but do not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available indefinitely.

Some features of the Service require a registered account. You agree to provide true, accurate, and complete information at registration and to keep it up to date when it changes.

You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We are not liable for losses arising from your failure to keep your credentials secure.

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not: (a) violate any applicable law or third-party rights; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems; (c) scrape, bulk-export, resell, or redistribute datasets beyond what your subscribed plan expressly permits; or (d) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.

You must not use the Service to harass, defraud, send spam, or engage in any activity that may harm us, other users, or our data sources.

You are solely responsible for any outreach you send (including messages based on outreach drafts generated by the Service). You should review such content before sending and comply with applicable anti-spam, data-protection, and marketing laws.

The Service offers a Free plan, pay-as-you-go Credits, and a custom Enterprise option. The features, usage, and pricing of each plan and credit pack are as displayed to you at the time of purchase.

Credits are prepaid, purchased on a one-time basis, and consumed as you use the Service (for example, analyzing buyers or generating outreach drafts, as described within the Service). Except where required by applicable law or otherwise stated by us in writing, purchased credits and fees paid are non-refundable. Credits have no cash value and are non-transferable.

We may change our prices, the contents of credit packs, or how much usage a credit provides. Such changes apply as shown at the time of purchase and do not affect credits you already purchased before the change took effect.

Free-plan features, free usage allowances (such as the number of daily questions or scans), and any complimentary or promotional credits are provided at our sole discretion and on an as-is basis. They are a courtesy and do not give you any vested right, entitlement, or guarantee.

We may at any time add, reduce, limit, suspend, or withdraw any free feature, free usage, or complimentary credit, change the terms on which it is offered, or stop offering free content entirely — with or without prior notice.

Complimentary or promotional credits may carry expiry dates or usage restrictions; such credits are non-refundable, have no cash value, and are non-transferable.

You retain ownership of the data and content you upload or create within the Service (Customer Data). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to use Customer Data solely to operate, maintain, and improve the Service for you.

Analytical results, insights, and recommendations produced by the Service are for informational purposes only and do not constitute professional, financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. You should independently verify them before making any business decision.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any dataset or analytical result. Data may originate from third parties and may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information.

Except for Customer Data, the Service and all of its components (including software, interfaces, the structure of curated datasets, trademarks, and branding) are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by us. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works based on the Service without our prior written consent.

The Service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure, nor that its results will meet your specific needs or expected business outcomes.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall our total aggregate liability arising out of these Terms or the Service exceed the amount you actually paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will continue to apply.

If you provide us with any suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use that feedback without restriction to improve the Service, with no obligation to you.

The Service relies on third-party services (such as payments, authentication, hosting, and AI processing) and may contain links to third-party websites (such as buyer websites). We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of these third parties, and your interactions with them are at your own risk.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless us and our affiliates, employees, and providers from any third-party claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or the outreach you send or content you provide.

Force majeure: We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform due to events beyond our reasonable control (such as natural disasters, network or power outages, third-party service failures, or government actions).

Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets.

Severability & entire agreement: If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service; our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through this website or other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service shall be submitted to the competent courts of Ontario, Canada.
