These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) establish the legal obligations of the parties regarding your access to and use of our services and our website. Please read them carefully before using the site.

1. The Agreement

These Terms are a binding legal agreement between you (referred to as “you”, “your”, or “User”) and summitones.com, including its parent company, subsidiaries, and affiliates (collectively referred to as “summitones.com”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). They define the conditions under which you may access our website and any current or future services (such as search) provided on the site (collectively, the “Services”). References to “the site” include such Services where relevant.

Please review our Privacy Policy before using the site.

By accessing or using the site, you acknowledge that you accept and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the site signifies your acceptance of those changes. Therefore, it is your responsibility to review these Terms each time you access the site. If you do not agree with any of these Terms or future updates, you must discontinue your use of the site immediately.

summitones.com provides general information only. Content—including articles, links, images, graphics, and other materials—is provided for informational or entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon as professional advice. For clarity on our data practices, please consult our Privacy Policy.

2. Use Restrictions

All content on the site, including text, images, and other materials, is protected under copyright and other intellectual property laws. Trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress belong to summitones.com or its licensors. This site does not grant you any license or ownership rights in such intellectual property, whether by implication or otherwise. You may not reproduce, distribute, publish, upload, post, transmit, or otherwise exploit site content in violation of these Terms or applicable law.

You agree to use the site solely for personal, non-commercial purposes. You must not use the site in any manner that could harm us or others. Unauthorized or disruptive activities—such as attempts to interfere with the site’s functionality or security—are prohibited. Your use must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. This site is not intended for such audiences.

3. Links to Third Party Sites

You may encounter links to external websites when browsing our site (e.g., search results, sponsored content). These third-party sites are not controlled by us; their own terms and privacy policies apply. By clicking those links, you acknowledge we are not responsible for such sites or their content. We may disable links to third-party sites at our discretion, but are not obligated to do so.

4. Electronic Communications

By sending us emails or communicating via the site, you consent to electronic communication. We may contact you by email or through notices on the site, and such communications fulfill any legal requirements for written notice.

5. Policy Restrictions

You agree not to engage in any activity that disrupts or imposes excessive load on our systems or networks, such as automated querying beyond typical human behavior. Search engine operators may deploy crawlers only to index public information, not for archiving or caching.

6. Disclaimer

All site and service content are provided “AS IS” and without any warranties, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a specific purpose, non‑infringement, or reliability. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, nor that defects will be corrected or servers virus-free. You bear any costs related to restoring or fixing your system due to issues arising from use of the site.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or safety of any information, products, or services provided through our site or linked third-party sites. We are not liable for your satisfaction with any third-party offerings. You expressly waive all claims against us regarding your use of site content or linked materials.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above disclaimers may not fully apply to you.

7. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless summitones.com, its affiliates, licensors, and personnel (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from any losses, damages, liabilities, costs (including legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your use of the site. We may assume control of any legal defense related to your indemnification obligations, and you agree to cooperate as needed.

8. Limitation of Liability

Neither summitones.com nor any of its directors, employees, agents, affiliates, or licensors shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages (including loss of profits or data), computer damage, or any other losses caused by your use or inability to use the site—even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for all claims shall not exceed US $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow limits on liability, so certain provisions may not apply to you.

We are not responsible for the accuracy or legality of content on the site, or interruptions due to disasters, labor disputes, terrorism, war, regulatory changes, or shortages. Such events are beyond our control.

9. General Provisions

We may modify or discontinue the site, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. You agree that we will not be liable for any such changes.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be deemed severable and will not affect the remainder of these Terms, except as modified by a court to enforce the intent of the provision.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), without regard to conflict-of-law principles. All disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong.

No delay or failure to enforce any provision shall constitute a waiver. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Summitones.

We may terminate your access to the site at any time, with or without cause or notice. Upon termination, you must stop using the site immediately. Provisions intended to survive termination will remain in effect.

These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices, constitute the entire agreement between you and Summitones with respect to the site and supersede all prior communications or understandings.

Any claim or cause of action related to the use of the site must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arises or be forever barred.
