Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: 28 March 2025  |  Effective Date: 28 March 2025

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Trevane website at https://trevanezz.world and the consulting services provided by Trevane Consulting Limited ("Trevane", "we", "us"). By using this website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Definitions

• "Agreement" means these Terms together with any written scope document agreed between you and Trevane.
• "Client" or "You" means the individual or organisation engaging Trevane's services.
• "Engagement" means a specific consulting project governed by a written scope document.
• "Services" means the consulting services described on this website and further defined in a scope document.
• "Deliverables" means the documents, models, or other outputs produced during an Engagement.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By using this website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are accessing this website or engaging services on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind that organisation.

3. Service Description

Trevane provides business consulting services to organisations operating primarily in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. Current service offerings include Revenue Diversification Strategy, Regulatory Submission Support, and Team Effectiveness Workshops. Service details and pricing are set out on the Solutions page of this website.

Services are provided in the English language. Geographic availability may vary by engagement type.

4. Engagement Process

Engagements begin with an introductory conversation at no cost or obligation. Where both parties agree to proceed, a written scope document will be prepared by Trevane setting out the objectives, deliverables, timeline, and fee. Work commences only upon written confirmation of the scope by both parties.

5. Fees and Payment

All standard engagements are fixed-fee as set out in the scope document. Fees are denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD). Payment terms will be specified in the scope document, typically requiring a deposit prior to commencement with the balance upon delivery.

Where the scope of an engagement changes materially at the Client's request, any additional fee implications will be discussed and agreed in writing before additional work proceeds.

Trevane reserves the right to suspend or cease work if invoices remain unpaid beyond agreed payment terms.

6. Cancellation and Refunds

If a Client cancels an engagement after work has commenced, Trevane will invoice for work completed to the date of cancellation at a pro-rata rate. Deposits paid are non-refundable where cancellation occurs after work has begun. Cancellation prior to commencement will result in a full refund of any deposit paid.

7. User Responsibilities

Clients agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information necessary for Trevane to deliver the engagement
• Ensure timely access to relevant personnel, documents, and data as required by the agreed scope
• Use Deliverables for lawful purposes only
• Not represent Trevane's Deliverables as their own independent work without appropriate attribution where agreed

8. Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full payment, Trevane grants the Client a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Deliverables for the internal business purposes described in the scope document.

Trevane retains ownership of all pre-existing methodologies, frameworks, tools, and templates used in delivering the engagement. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of such intellectual property to the Client.

9. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to treat each other's confidential information as private and not to disclose it to third parties without written consent. This obligation survives the conclusion of any engagement. Mutual NDA terms will be set out in the scope document.

Trevane will not reference a Client's name or engagement details in any public-facing communications without explicit written consent.

10. Disclaimers

Trevane's services are advisory in nature. Deliverables represent our professional opinion and analysis based on the information available at the time of the engagement. They do not constitute legal, financial, or regulatory advice.

Trevane does not warrant that any particular outcome will result from an engagement, and makes no representation regarding the commercial success of implementing any recommendations.

This website is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind regarding accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in Hong Kong, Trevane's aggregate liability to a Client in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client for that engagement.

Trevane shall not be liable for indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages of any kind, including loss of profit or business opportunity, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

12. Indemnification

The Client agrees to indemnify and hold Trevane harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses arising from the Client's misuse of Deliverables, violation of these Terms, or provision of inaccurate information that affects the engagement.

13. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement by providing written notice. The consequences of termination, including any pro-rata fee obligations, will be as set out in the scope document. Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of these Terms survive termination.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Both parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong.

Before initiating formal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith discussion for a period of at least 30 days from the date the dispute is raised in writing.

15. General Provisions

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with any applicable scope document, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede prior negotiations or representations.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

Waiver: Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision.

Assignment: The Client may not assign rights or obligations under these Terms without Trevane's prior written consent.

16. Changes to These Terms

Trevane reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website or services following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
