Our services encompass a broad range of technology consulting and implementation activities, including but not limited to systems architecture planning and design, cloud infrastructure assessment and migration, network architecture and deployment, security engineering and compliance consulting, process automation design and implementation, and data systems architecture and analytics platform development.
The scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for any specific engagement shall be defined in a separate written agreement, statement of work, or service proposal executed by both parties.

In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and a separately executed project agreement, the project agreement shall prevail with respect to the specific matters it addresses.
We strive to deliver services that meet or exceed industry standards and client expectations. However, the nature of technology consulting is such that outcomes depend on numerous factors, including the accuracy and completeness of information provided by the client, the existing state of the clients technology environment, and external factors beyond our reasonable control.

Your indemnification obligation extends to claims that may be brought after the termination of your relationship with the Company, provided that the underlying conduct giving rise to the claim occurred during the period in which these Terms were in effect.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation, including non-contractual disputes or claims, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site shall be instituted exclusively in the courts of Hong Kong. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts. You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose, or it shall be forever barred.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms or to any transactions conducted through the Site. The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision or of the right to enforce such right or provision in the future.
Dispute Resolution
The Company is committed to resolving disputes with our clients and users in a fair and efficient manner. Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, you agree to first contact the Company and attempt to resolve the dispute informally by sending a written description of your claim to info@antcollect.lat. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within thirty calendar days of receipt of your notice.
If the dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiations within thirty days, either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) in accordance with its rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the HKIAC rules. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong, and the language of the arbitration shall be English.
The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any relief that would be available in a court of competent jurisdiction, including injunctive relief and specific performance. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration, and the parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the HKIAC, unless the arbitrator orders otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights, confidential information, or other proprietary interests. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

You acknowledge that the Company shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Site or services.

Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitral tribunal, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties agree that the court or tribunal shall have the authority to modify or replace the invalid provision with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable project agreements or statements of work, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter. Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created between you and the Company as a result of these Terms, and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect whatsoever.
