Terms of use
The rules that apply when you visit walkthechat.com and read what we publish here.
About these terms
This website is operated by WalktheChat Limited (“WalktheChat”, “we”, “us”). By using it you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
These terms cover the website only. Services we provide to clients are governed by the separate agreements we sign with them; if those agreements and these terms conflict, the agreement prevails.
Using the website
You may browse the website and read, share and link to its pages for lawful purposes. You agree not to:
- use the website in a way that breaks any applicable law or infringes anyone’s rights;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its server or any connected system;
- introduce malicious code, or interfere with the website’s operation or security;
- collect content or data from the website by automated means at a scale that burdens it, or in order to republish it;
- send unsolicited or misleading messages through our forms, or impersonate another person or company.
We may suspend or restrict access for anyone who breaks these terms.
Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the content of this website, including text, articles, reports, graphics, design, photographs, video and code, belongs to WalktheChat Limited or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws. The WalktheChat name and logo are our trademarks.
You may view the content, print or download it for your own reference, and quote short extracts with a clear credit and a link to the original page. Any other use, including republishing articles in full, using content commercially, or using it to train or build competing products, needs our written permission first.
Client names and third-party trademarks
Brand names, logos and images of clients and other companies shown on this website belong to their respective owners. They appear to describe our work or to illustrate commentary, and do not mean that the owner sponsors or endorses this website unless we say so.
Information, not advice
Our articles, guides and case studies are general information about the Chinese market and its platforms. They are not legal, tax, regulatory, financial or other professional advice.
Platforms, regulations and market conditions in China change quickly. We try to keep content accurate when it is published, but we do not promise that it is complete, current or free of errors, and older articles may be out of date. Results described in case studies are specific to those projects and are not a guarantee of future results. Take advice suited to your situation before acting on anything you read here.
Third-party links and content
The website links to, and sometimes embeds content from, websites and platforms we do not control. We provide these for convenience and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. Your use of them is subject to their own terms.
What you send us
When you contact us through the form or by email, you confirm that the information you give is accurate and that you are entitled to share it. Please do not send confidential or proprietary information through the website; until we have signed a confidentiality agreement, we are under no duty to treat what you send as confidential.
Subscribing to the newsletter is free, and you can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every issue.
Privacy
Our Privacy policy explains what personal information we collect through this website and how we use it.
Disclaimers
The website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors or harmful components.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, WalktheChat Limited, its affiliates and their directors, employees and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website or its content, even if we have been told such loss is possible.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
Indemnity
You agree to compensate WalktheChat Limited for losses, costs and claims brought by third parties that result from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the website.
Changes
We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website at any time without notice. We may also update these terms; the date at the top of the page shows when they were last revised, and the revised terms apply from the moment they are published. Continuing to use the website means you accept them.
Governing law
These terms, and any dispute arising from them or from your use of the website, are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which WalktheChat Limited is incorporated, and the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction. This does not remove any protection that the mandatory laws of your own country give you as a consumer.
General
If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. These terms are the whole agreement between you and us about your use of the website.
