Terms of Service

By using this site you accept the terms below. zouic.com is operated by an individual. Paid services are B2B consulting and delivery against a specific brief; a written scope of work or invoice always takes precedence.

1. Content and sources

The site aggregates publicly available open-source hardware projects and development-board data, with sources attributed. Specifications, licences and availability follow the upstream project or manufacturer. Original articles and opinions are not investment, procurement, legal or engineering-safety advice.

2. Intellectual property

Listed open-source projects remain under their own licences; we claim no rights over them. Original text, layout and code on this site belong to the operator. Paid deliverables transfer to the client once the final invoice is settled; website projects explicitly include source-code handover.

3. Scope of services

Corporate websites, GEO / AI-search visibility, component sourcing and BOM matching, and technical content. Sourcing is a neutral introduction: demand and supply parties negotiate and contract directly. We hold no inventory, add no markup and do not handle funds or fulfilment.

4. What we explicitly do not promise

We do not guarantee search rankings, citations in AI answers, lead volume, sales outcomes, component availability, or any result beyond the agreed deliverables and schedule. These limits are stated on the pricing page, service pages and in every written quote, and cannot be treated as breach.

5. Pricing and payment

Domestic clients settle in CNY; overseas clients settle in USD. USD rates are standalone quotes, not CNY converted at an exchange rate. Payment methods, tax treatment and invoice form are set out in the written invoice. Price changes do not affect confirmed orders. No payment is due before a written invoice is issued.

6. Your obligations

Provide accurate, lawful materials you are entitled to use. Do not use site content or deliverables for unlawful activity, infringement, or circumventing third-party platform rules.

7. Disclaimer and limitation

The site is provided "as is". We are not liable for third-party linked content, upstream project availability, or changes to external platform policies. To the extent permitted by law, liability arising from our services is capped at the amount paid for the order in question.

8. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. Disputes are first addressed through good-faith discussion, then before a competent authority.

9. Changes

Updates are published on the site with a dated revision; continued use constitutes acceptance. Last updated 2026-11-05.
