In these Terms, the following definitions apply:
- "Company", "we", "us", or "our" means Fujma Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong.

- "Services" means the intangible, professional, consulting, and operational services provided by Fujma Limited, including brand building, product sourcing, Hong Kong company formation, trademark registration, import/export facilitation, logistics coordination, and any related advisory services. All Services are non-tangible in nature and do not constitute the sale of physical goods by Fujma Limited.

- "Payment" means any sum remitted to Fujma Limited in consideration for Services, whether by bank transfer, invoice settlement, or any other agreed payment method.
2. Relationship Between These Terms and Signed Agreements
In all other respects, these Terms shall remain in full effect and shall be read together with any such agreement as a single, integrated legal framework. The absence of a separate written agreement does not limit the application or enforceability of these Terms.
3. Electronic Agreement and Legally Binding Acceptance
The Client acknowledges and agrees that a legally binding agreement with Fujma Limited is formed upon the occurrence of any of the following:
- Submission of an enquiry, contact form, or service request through our website
- Written acceptance of a proposal, quotation, or statement of work by email or any other electronic means
- Remittance of any Payment to Fujma Limited, whether in whole or in part
- Commencement of any service activity following written or verbal instruction by the Client
Electronic acceptance — including acceptance by email, website interaction, or payment — carries the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature. The Client waives any right to contest the validity or enforceability of this agreement on the basis that it was formed electronically. These Terms are governed by the Electronic Transactions Ordinance (Cap. 553) of Hong Kong and applicable international standards for electronic commerce.
4. Nature of Services
4.1 Intangible Professional Services
Fujma Limited provides exclusively intangible, professional, consulting, and operational services. No physical goods are sold by Fujma Limited to the Client. All engagements involve the provision of expertise, coordination, facilitation, advisory support, and intermediary services. This characterisation is material to the payment, refund, and chargeback provisions of these Terms.
4.2 Commencement of Services
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Services may commence immediately upon receipt of Payment or written confirmation of engagement. By submitting payment or written confirmation, the Client explicitly acknowledges that service delivery has begun or been irrevocably committed, and that the non-refundable character of payments is a direct consequence of this immediate commencement.
4.3 Independent Service Provider — No Partnership or Agency
Fujma Limited provides services strictly as an independent professional service provider. Nothing in these Terms, any Agreement, or the course of dealing between the parties shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, franchise, or agency of any kind between Fujma Limited and the Client.
4.4 Intermediary Role
In the majority of engagements, Fujma Limited acts as an operational intermediary — coordinating sourcing, supplier negotiations, logistics, and administrative processes on the Client's behalf. The Client remains the ultimate business principal, brand owner, and decision-maker at all times. Fujma Limited does not manufacture, produce, warehouse, or take title to any goods.
4.5 Facilitated Purchasing
In certain engagements, Fujma Limited may facilitate the procurement of goods from third-party suppliers, acting as a coordinating agent. In such cases, Fujma Limited does not take title to, ownership of, or commercial risk in the goods. The Client assumes full ownership, commercial risk, and responsibility for the goods from the point of confirmation of purchase.
4.6 No Guaranteed Outcomes
All Services are provided on a commercially reasonable efforts basis. Fujma Limited does not guarantee any specific business result, revenue outcome, product approval, trademark registration success, company formation timeline, customs clearance, or market performance. Results are subject to factors outside Fujma Limited's control.
5. Service Timeline and Delivery Estimates
Delivery timelines are subject to variation due to factors including:
- Supplier production schedules, capacity constraints, or operational disruptions
- Freight carrier delays, port congestion, or customs clearance backlogs
- Government regulatory processing times for trademark registration, company formation, or import permits
- Public holidays, national events, or seasonal factory shutdowns in China or Hong Kong
- Force majeure events as defined in Section 14
Delays attributable to third-party suppliers, logistics providers, or government authorities do not constitute a breach of contract by Fujma Limited and shall not entitle the Client to cancel the engagement, withhold payment, or claim damages.
6. Supplier Independence and Client Risk
In particular, Fujma Limited accepts no responsibility for:
- The quality, safety, merchantability, or fitness for purpose of any products sourced from or produced by third-party manufacturers
- A supplier's compliance with applicable laws, industry standards, export controls, or certification requirements
- Delays, defects, or failures in production attributable to a supplier's operational circumstances
- The accuracy, completeness, or validity of compliance certificates, test reports, or declarations of conformity provided by suppliers
- Any claim by a third party arising from products manufactured, supplied, or delivered by a Supplier
The Client is solely responsible for conducting independent due diligence on suppliers, arranging product inspections, verifying regulatory compliance, and obtaining all necessary certifications prior to importing, distributing, or selling any product.
7. Client Obligations
The Client agrees to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and timely information, instructions, and approvals required for the delivery of Services
- Respond promptly to requests for documentation, confirmations, or clarifications
- Ensure that all rights, licences, and authorisations required in connection with any product concept, brand identity, or business idea shared with Fujma Limited are validly held by the Client
- Comply with all applicable laws in their jurisdiction, including import regulations, consumer product safety laws, labelling requirements, intellectual property laws, and tax obligations
- Not use Fujma Limited's Services for any purpose that is unlawful, fraudulent, misleading, or harmful to third parties
- Notify Fujma Limited promptly of any circumstances that may affect the delivery or scope of the agreed Services
8. Fees, Payment, and Anti-Chargeback Policy
8.1 Agreement of Fees
Service fees are agreed individually for each engagement and specified in the applicable proposal, contract, or invoice. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, government filing charges, and third-party costs unless expressly stated otherwise.
8.2 Payment Finality
8.3 Prohibited Chargebacks and Dispute Protocol
The Client agrees that initiating a chargeback, payment reversal, or dispute without first completing the mandatory dispute resolution procedure constitutes a material breach of these Terms. Prior to initiating any payment dispute, the Client must:
- Submit a written complaint to contact@fujma.com specifying the nature of the dispute in reasonable detail
- Allow Fujma Limited a period of fourteen (14) calendar days to investigate and respond
- Engage in good-faith negotiation for a further period of fourteen (14) calendar days following Fujma Limited's response
Any unjustified chargeback shall constitute a material breach of contract. Fujma Limited reserves the right to recover the full disputed amount, all fees, and to pursue legal proceedings in the courts of Hong Kong.
8.4 Deposit and Milestone Payments
Fujma Limited may require an upfront deposit and/or milestone-based payments before commencing or continuing work. Fujma Limited reserves the right to suspend delivery of Services where any payment remains outstanding beyond the agreed due date.
8.5 Third-Party Costs
The Client is solely responsible for all third-party costs incurred in connection with the Services, including supplier payments, product costs, freight and insurance, customs duties and taxes, government registration and filing fees, and trademark registration charges.
8.6 Late Payment
Amounts not paid by the due date shall accrue interest at a rate of two percent (2%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, calculated from the due date until the date of actual payment.
9. Refund and Cancellation Policy
All Services provided by Fujma Limited are custom, project-specific, and intangible. There is no automatic entitlement to a refund, partial credit, or service reversal.
Where the Client wishes to cancel an engagement, the following conditions apply:
- Written notice of cancellation must be delivered to contact@fujma.com
- All service fees, third-party costs, and disbursements incurred or committed to the date of cancellation remain due and payable in full
- Upfront deposits are non-refundable in all circumstances, unless expressly stated to the contrary in a signed Agreement
- Where work has not yet commenced and no third-party commitments have been entered into, Fujma Limited may, at its sole discretion, offer a partial service credit applicable to future engagements
