1. Introduction
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the website at asclepius.buzz and the services provided by Asclepius International (Hong Kong) Limited, which we call the Company, we, our, or us throughout these terms. The services described on this website are developed and operated by the developer Asclepiu on behalf of the Company.
By accessing our website or by using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use our website or our services. These terms form a binding agreement between you and the Company. Please read them carefully before using any of our services, and contact us if anything is unclear.
2. Acceptance of These Terms
By using our website, by submitting an enquiry, by entering into an agreement with us, or by otherwise accessing our services, you accept these terms and agree to comply with them. If you use our services on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these terms, and the organisation is then responsible for compliance.
If you do not have such authority, you must not use our services on behalf of that organisation. We may change these terms from time to time, and the version in effect at the time of your use will apply. You should review these terms periodically to stay informed of any changes.
3. About the Company and the Services
The Company is a Hong Kong company focused on computer systems design and computer integrated systems design, particularly for healthcare and clinical information systems. Our registered address is Rm 1917 19/F LEE GDN ONE, 33 HYSAN AVE, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong (HK). Our services include the design, integration, implementation, and maintenance of computer systems, as well as related advisory, data, and security work.
The specific scope of any engagement is defined in a written agreement between us and our client. These terms apply alongside any such agreement, and in the event of conflict between these terms and a specific written agreement, the specific agreement takes precedence in relation to the matters it covers.
4. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use our services. By using our services you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these terms. If you are using our services on behalf of a business or other organisation, you represent that you have the authority to do so.
We may refuse to provide services to any person or organisation at our discretion, and we may terminate services where eligibility is not met. Where we decline a request, we will do so courteously and, where appropriate, explain the reason.
5. Registration and Accounts
Some of our services may require you to create an account or to provide identification details. Where an account is provided, you are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
We may suspend or close an account if we suspect misuse, unauthorised access, or a breach of these terms. Account details are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference. You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us.
6. Use of the Website
You may use our website for lawful purposes only. You may not use the website in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our servers, or that interferes with the use of the website by others. You may not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website, to the systems connected to it, or to any information held on it.
You may not scrape, harvest, or systematically collect data from the website without our prior written consent. We reserve the right to restrict or block access to the website where we believe such action is necessary to protect our systems or our users. Content on the website is provided for general information and may change at any time.
7. Our Services
The Company provides computer systems design and computer integrated systems design services. These include architecture, integration engineering, data management, infrastructure, security, and adoption support. We perform services with the level of skill and care reasonably expected of a professional firm in this industry.
Delivery of any project is subject to a written scope of work, agreed timelines, and assumptions recorded at the start of the engagement. We rely on accurate and timely information from our clients, and we are not responsible for delays caused by incomplete, inaccurate, or late information provided by the client.
8. Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for providing accurate information, reasonable access to their systems and staff, and decisions within the timescales needed to keep a project moving. Clients must ensure that any information they provide does not breach the rights of third parties. Where we handle data on behalf of a client, the client remains responsible for the lawful processing of that data.
Clients must comply with all applicable laws in connection with their use of our services, including data protection and healthcare regulations. Reasonable assistance and timely responses from the client are essential to the success of any engagement. Where a client delays a decision or fails to provide access, project timelines may be adjusted accordingly.
9. Intellectual Property
All rights, title, and interest in the materials we create for the purposes of delivering our services, including designs, architectures, code, documentation, and methodologies, belong to the Company unless otherwise agreed in writing. Where we deliver a specific work product under a written agreement, that agreement sets out the rights granted to the client.
You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our website content or materials except as permitted by these terms or by law. The name Asclepius, the wordmark, and the design of our website are our property and may not be used without our prior written permission.
10. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use our website or services in any way that violates the law, infringes the rights of others, or is harmful, deceptive, or offensive. You may not use our services to store, transmit, or process unlawful content. You may not introduce malicious code into our systems, and you may not attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our systems without our written authorisation.
You may not impersonate another person or organisation. We take a zero-tolerance approach to misuse of our systems, and we cooperate fully with law enforcement where required. If we become aware of a breach of this section, we may suspend or terminate access and pursue any remedy available to us.
11. Fees and Payment
Where our services are provided for a fee, the fee, payment terms, and any applicable taxes are set out in the written agreement with the client. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice, in the currency stated in the agreement. Late payments may be subject to interest as permitted by law.
We may suspend work where an invoice remains unpaid beyond the agreed terms. Any expenses incurred in delivering the services are billed in line with the agreement, and prices may be adjusted by agreement from time to time. We will always confirm fees and any changes in writing before they take effect.
12. Third-Party Services and Content
Our website and our services may rely on or reference third-party products, platforms, and content. We do not control these third parties, and we are not responsible for their availability, functionality, or practices. Any use of third-party services by a client is subject to the terms of that third party.
Where our services integrate with third-party systems, we work with clients to ensure compatibility, but we cannot guarantee the performance of systems that we do not operate. References to third-party products do not imply endorsement unless we state otherwise. You should review the terms of any third-party service before relying on it.
13. Disclaimers
Except as expressly stated in a written agreement, our website and services are provided on an as is and as available basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the website or any service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Any content on our website is provided for general information and does not constitute professional medical, legal, or regulatory advice. You rely on our services at your own risk to the extent permitted by law.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the use of our website or services. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Our total liability arising out of or in connection with any services, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the amount paid by the client for the specific services giving rise to the claim during the twelve months preceding the claim. The limitations in this section apply even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the developer Asclepiu, and our officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses arising out of your use of our website or services, your violation of these terms, or your violation of the rights of any third party.
Where a client provides information, systems, or materials for use in our services, the client is responsible for their content and agrees to indemnify us against claims arising from that content, except where such claims result from our negligence or wilful misconduct. This indemnification obligation survives the end of our relationship.
16. Term and Termination
These terms remain in effect for as long as you use our website or services. Either party may terminate a service agreement in accordance with the termination provisions of that agreement. We may terminate or suspend your access to the website if you breach these terms, if we suspect misuse, or if we are required to do so by law.
On termination, you must stop using the services, and any rights granted to you under these terms cease. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, limitation of liability, and indemnification, will continue to apply.
17. Suspension of Services
We may suspend services temporarily where necessary to protect the security or integrity of our systems, to perform maintenance, or to comply with a legal requirement. We will give reasonable notice of planned maintenance wherever practicable, and we will keep any disruption to a minimum.
Where we suspend services due to a client action, for example non-payment or a security incident involving the client, we will notify the client and agree a path to restore service. We will not be liable for losses caused by a suspension that is necessary to protect our systems or to comply with the law.
18. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party in connection with our relationship. Confidential information includes business plans, technical designs, customer details, pricing, and data. This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, already known to the receiving party, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.
We protect the confidentiality of our clients information using reasonable safeguards and limit access to those with a genuine need to know. These confidentiality obligations survive the end of our relationship and continue to protect both parties information.
19. Data Protection and Privacy
Information collected through our website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms and is available at /privacy. Where we process personal data on behalf of a client as part of our services, we act as a processor under the instructions of the client, who remains the controller unless otherwise agreed in writing.
We maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data. Clients agree to obtain any consents and provide any notices required for us to process data as part of the services. You should read our Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we handle personal information.
20. Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for delay or failure to perform its obligations where such delay or failure results from events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, power failures, network failures, or restrictions imposed by government. The affected party will notify the other party as soon as reasonably possible.
Each party will take reasonable steps to minimise the impact of any force majeure event. If a force majeure event continues for a significant period, either party may terminate the affected engagement on reasonable written notice, and amounts paid for services not yet delivered will be refunded on a pro-rata basis.
21. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These terms are governed by the laws of Hong Kong, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or our services will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong.
Before commencing proceedings, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through negotiation. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief where appropriate. We aim to resolve any disagreement fairly and promptly.
22. Entire Agreement and Severability
These terms, together with any written agreement and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the subject matter of these terms, and they supersede any prior agreements or understandings between the parties.
If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision.
23. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these terms without our prior written consent. The Company may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, provided that the assignee agrees to be bound by these terms.
These terms are binding on the parties and on their permitted successors and assigns. We will notify you if our obligations under these terms are transferred to another entity in connection with a corporate transaction.
24. Notices
Notices under these terms must be given in writing. You may send notices to us by email at care@asclepius.buzz or by post to Rm 1917 19/F LEE GDN ONE, 33 HYSAN AVE, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong (HK). We may send notices to you by email or by posting a notice on our website.
A notice is deemed received when delivered in person, when sent by email and confirmed, or two days after posting by mail. Please check the notice provisions carefully if timing is important to you, and keep your contact details with us up to date.
25. Waiver
No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these terms will operate as a waiver of that right. A waiver of a right on one occasion does not constitute a waiver on any other occasion, and a waiver is effective only if given in writing and signed by the waiving party.
The rights and remedies provided under these terms are cumulative and do not exclude any rights or remedies provided by law. A party may rely on any single right or remedy, or any combination of rights and remedies, as it chooses.
26. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, our practices, or the law. We will post any revised terms on this page and update the last updated date at the top. Where a change is significant, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention.
Your continued use of our website or services after revised terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree to the revised terms, you should stop using our services. We encourage you to review these terms periodically.
