Terms of Service

1. Service Description

SMTstor (brand operated by Zhongchen Information Limited) provides sustainable digital infrastructure and data-value services, including digital products, software licenses, solution templates, and related support. By using our websites and services, you agree to these Terms.

2. Digital Product License

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, purchased digital products, software, templates, or content assets grant a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license only—they do not transfer copyright or other intellectual property. You may not reverse engineer, crack, bulk-copy, resell, or use items for unlawful purposes. Scope is defined on the order page, product description, and delivery email.

3. User Responsibilities

You must provide accurate information, safeguard account credentials, and remain responsible for activity under your account. You may not use the services to infringe third-party rights, distribute malware, circumvent technical protections, or engage in illegal activity.

4. Intellectual Property

Trademarks, logos, software, documentation, designs, and original content on the SMTstor platform are protected by intellectual property laws. Reproduction, modification, distribution, or commercial use without written authorization is prohibited. Third-party materials remain subject to their respective licenses.

5. Service Changes and Termination

We may modify, suspend, or terminate all or part of the services at any time. Material changes to digital product functionality will be communicated with reasonable advance notice where practicable. Interruptions due to maintenance, compliance, or force majeure will be remedied within reasonable efforts.

6. Payment and Merchant of Record

If an order is collected through a designated online reseller, that reseller is the Merchant of Record for that transaction; the specific entity and terms are disclosed on the checkout page and order confirmation. Paddle, Stripe, or other providers are not assumed to be the sole MoR unless disclosed at checkout—do not rely on undisclosed parties for payment liability.

7. Disclaimer

Services and digital products are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all express and implied warranties, including uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages (including loss of profits, data, or goodwill) arising from use or inability to use the services.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for the order giving rise to the claim in the twelve (12) months before that claim, or USD 100, whichever is greater where applicable. This limitation does not apply to willful misconduct or liabilities that cannot be excluded by law.

9. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Parties shall first attempt good-faith negotiation; failing that, disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong (unless mandatory law provides otherwise).
