3.4 No Guarantee of Specific Outcomes

While DragonLights applies professional skill and diligence to every engagement, technology services inherently involve uncertainty.

The total aggregate liability of DragonLights and its affiliates for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or any Engagement Agreement shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by the Client to DragonLights during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. The limitations of liability in this section shall apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages. In such jurisdictions, the liability of DragonLights shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

9. Indemnification

9.1 Client Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DragonLights, JiuJiang LongGuangShi Trading Co., Ltd., and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to: your use of the Website or Services; your breach of these Terms; your violation of any applicable law or third-party right; or any content, materials, or data you provide through the Website or in connection with the Services.

9.2 Infringement Indemnity

DragonLights shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Client against any third-party claim that the Deliverables, when used as intended, infringe any copyright, trademark, or trade secret of that third party, provided that the Client gives prompt written notice of the claim, grants DragonLights sole control of the defense and settlement, and provides reasonable cooperation at DragonLights expense. This indemnity does not apply to infringement arising from Client modifications, combination with non-DragonLights products, or use in a manner inconsistent with specifications.

9.3 Procedure

The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim for which indemnification is sought and shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in the defense and settlement of such claim. The indemnifying party shall not settle any claim in a manner that admits fault or imposes any obligation on the indemnified party without the indemnified party's prior written consent.

10. Termination

10.1 Termination of Website Access

DragonLights reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your access to the Website, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including but not limited to breach of these Terms. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 5 (Intellectual Property), 6 (Confidentiality), 8 (Limitation of Liability), 9 (Indemnification), and 11 (Dispute Resolution).

10.2 Termination of Services Engagements

Either party may terminate an Engagement Agreement in accordance with the termination provisions specified therein. In the absence of specific termination provisions, either party may terminate for convenience upon thirty (30) days written notice, or immediately for cause if the other party materially breaches the Engagement Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days of receiving written notice describing the breach.

10.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination of a Services engagement, the Client shall pay DragonLights for all Services performed and expenses incurred through the effective date of termination. DragonLights shall deliver all completed or in-progress Deliverables for which payment has been received. Each party shall return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party, subject to standard archival and compliance requirements.

10.4 No Refund

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Engagement Agreement, all fees paid prior to termination are non-refundable. Prepaid fees for Services not yet performed shall be refunded on a pro-rata basis, less any non-cancellable commitments incurred by DragonLights in reliance on the engagement.

11. Dispute Resolution

11.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms through informal negotiation. The party raising the dispute shall provide written notice describing the nature of the dispute and the desired resolution. Both parties shall designate a representative with decision-making authority to meet and confer within fourteen (14) days of such notice.

11.2 Mediation

If the dispute is not resolved through informal negotiation within thirty (30) days, either party may refer the matter to mediation. The mediation shall be conducted in English, and the parties shall share equally the costs of the mediator and the mediation process. Participation in mediation is a precondition to the commencement of arbitration or litigation.

11.3 Arbitration

Any dispute not resolved through negotiation or mediation shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration institution. The arbitration shall be conducted in English by a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be mutually agreed, or failing agreement, shall be in Hong Kong SAR. The arbitral award shall be final and binding, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

11.4 Exceptions

Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, including but not limited to infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights or breach of confidentiality obligations. The parties agree that such relief may be sought without the need to post bond.

11.5 Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, all claims must be brought on an individual basis only and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person or entity.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply.

Subject to the dispute resolution provisions in Section 11, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, China, for the resolution of any disputes that are not subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DragonLights may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that most closely approximates the economic intent and purpose of the original provision.

13. Modifications to These Terms

When we make material changes, we will update the Last Revised date at the top of this page and provide reasonable notice, which may include posting a notice on our Website, sending an email to registered users, or other methods reasonably calculated to reach affected parties.

For active Clients under an Engagement Agreement, material changes to these Terms shall not apply retroactively to existing engagements unless both parties agree in writing. New engagements entered into after the effective date of modified Terms shall be governed by the then-current version.

It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Website or Services after any modification constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree with the modified Terms, you must cease using the Website and Services.
