User Service Agreement  

(English Translation – for reference only; Chinese version prevails in case of discrepancy)


I. Introduction & Special Reminders  

Welcome! By using the Site, you and the Site together conclude this User Service Agreement (“Agreement”).  


Headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision. To protect your own interests, please read every clause carefully.  


When you complete the registration process after filling in the required information, reading and expressly accepting this Agreement, you are deemed to have fully read, understood and accepted the entire Agreement and become a “User”. The Agreement is legally binding on you. If you do not agree with any part of it, you must stop using the Site immediately.  


We especially remind you to read carefully the clauses on breach, limitation of liability and dispute resolution.  


1.1 Unless expressly provided otherwise, any new product, feature or service launched by us is subject to this Agreement.  


1.2 “Services” mean all services the Site provides to you, including but not limited to account creation and management, domain-name registration, trading, transfer, back-order, renewal, etc. Any separate agreement or service-specific rules published by the Site and the Privacy Policy form an integral part of this Agreement. Your acceptance of any such separate document is deemed acceptance of the entire Agreement.  


1.3 Clauses on confidentiality, truthfulness of registration information and intellectual property survive termination of this Agreement.


II. Account Registration, Use and Security  


2.1 User Eligibility  

Before starting to use or register for the Services, you must possess the civil capacity required by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and any other applicable jurisdictions.  

If you are a minor, you may use the Site only with the consent of your parent or guardian who shall:  

(a) ensure that you fully perform all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement; and  

(b) indemnify us for any loss or liability arising from your non-performance or breach and hold us harmless.


2.2 Account  

2.2.1 After completing registration you will obtain an account and become a User.  

2.2.2 You may log in with the e-mail address and password you set (collectively “Credentials”).


2.3 Registration Information  

2.3.1 Truthful and lawful  

You must provide complete, accurate and lawful information (name, e-mail, phone, address, etc.). You are solely responsible for the truthfulness and validity of such information and for any inability to register or any loss caused by untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information.  


You authorize the Site to verify your identity and phone number with third-party reliable sources such as the National Citizen Identity Information Center and telecom operators.  


Your account information (nickname, avatar, bio, etc.) must not contain illegal or harmful content or impersonate any other person. The Site may suspend or terminate any such account and report to the competent authority.


2.3.2 Updates  

You must promptly update your information. If we cannot reach you through the last information you provided, or the information is obviously untrue, you shall bear all resulting losses.


2.4 Account Security (Important)  

2.4.1 If you register on behalf of another natural person or entity, you must submit complete information and a power of attorney; otherwise the registrant is deemed the User.  

2.4.2 One account corresponds to one legal entity only. Without statutory basis, judicial ruling or the Site’s consent, you may not transfer, gift or inherit your account. The account is for your own use only; sharing or lending is prohibited. If unauthorized use occurs, you must notify the Site immediately; otherwise all acts will be deemed yours and you will bear all consequences.  

2.4.3 Except where the Site is at fault, you are responsible for all acts under your account. If unauthorized use or risk of loss occurs, notify us promptly; we may freeze the account or take other security measures, but we assume no liability for consequences already arising.


III. Account Freeze, Cancellation and Appeal  


3.1 Freeze  

Your account or certain functions (e.g., fund or domain transfer-out) may be frozen if:
