Payment Terms and Billing

Payment terms for BrightSeek services are established in the service agreement, statement of work, or proposal accepted by the client. The following general provisions apply to all service engagements unless modified by a superseding written agreement.

Fees and Expenses: Fees for services are based on the scope, complexity, and duration of the engagement as described in the applicable service agreement. Fees may be structured as fixed-price for defined deliverables, time and materials based on hourly or daily rates, or retainer arrangements providing ongoing advisory access. The fee structure for each engagement will be clearly stated in the service agreement. Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the delivery of services, such as travel, accommodation, and software licensing costs, will be billed to the client as agreed in advance.

Invoicing and Payment: Invoices are issued according to the schedule specified in the service agreement. Unless otherwise stated, payment is due within 30 calendar days of the invoice date. Payments may be made by bank transfer or other methods agreed upon in writing. All fees are denominated and payable in the currency specified in the service agreement.

Late Payments: Late payments may incur interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower.

The client is responsible for all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by BrightSeek in collecting overdue amounts.

Taxes: All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, and levies. The client is responsible for paying all sales, use, value-added, withholding, and similar taxes imposed on the services, except for taxes based on BrightSeeks net income. If the client is required to withhold taxes from payments, the client shall gross up the payment so that BrightSeek receives the full invoiced amount.

06

Confidentiality Provisions

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our professional relationships. BrightSeek and the client mutually agree to protect confidential information exchanged during the course of engagement discussions and service delivery.

Definition of Confidential Information: Confidential Information means any non-public information disclosed by one party to the other, whether orally, in writing, or in electronic form, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, business plans, financial data, customer lists, technical specifications, source code, system architectures, security configurations, and trade secrets.

Obligations: Each party agrees to use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of the engagement and to protect it using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care. Neither party shall disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the disclosing partys prior written consent, except to its employees, contractors, and agents who have a need to know and are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these provisions.

Exclusions: Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, was already in the receiving partys possession without confidentiality restrictions prior to disclosure, is independently developed by the receiving party without use of Confidential Information, or is rightfully obtained by the receiving party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation.

Required Disclosures: A party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, regulation, or court order, provided that the receiving party gives the disclosing party prompt notice and reasonable assistance to contest or limit the scope of the required disclosure.

Duration: The obligations of confidentiality survive the termination or expiration of the service agreement and continue for a period of 3 years thereafter, or indefinitely with respect to information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law.

07

Limitation of Liability

The following limitations of liability apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. These provisions allocate risk between the parties and form an essential basis of the bargain reflected in our fees.

Disclaimer of Warranties: To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website and services are provided on an as-is and as-available basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. BrightSeek expressly disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

Limitation on Damages: In no event shall BrightSeek, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, or contractors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the website, or the services, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if BrightSeek has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Cap on Liability: BrightSeeks total aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the website, or the services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to BrightSeek during the 12-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. For claims arising from a specific service engagement, liability shall be capped at the fees paid for that specific engagement.

Exceptions: The limitations in this Article do not apply to liability arising from BrightSeeks gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights that you may have as a consumer that cannot be waived or limited by contract.

08

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BrightSeek, Kunming DaSuoHao Trading Co., Ltd., and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, and fees, including reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Service, your use of the website or services, your infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any third party, your violation of any applicable law or regulation, or any claim that information or materials you provided to BrightSeek caused damage to a third party.

BrightSeek reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you shall cooperate with BrightSeek in asserting any available defenses. You shall not settle any indemnified claim without BrightSeeks prior written consent.

09

Termination and Suspension

These Terms of Service remain in effect until terminated by either party in accordance with the provisions set forth below.

Termination by You: You may terminate these Terms at any time by ceasing all use of the BrightSeek website and services and providing written notice to BrightSeek at serve@brightseek.hair. Termination does not relieve you of any payment obligations incurred prior to termination or any obligations that by their nature survive termination, including confidentiality, intellectual property, indemnification, and limitation of liability provisions.

Termination by BrightSeek: BrightSeek may terminate or suspend your access to the website and services, in whole or in part, at any time without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if we determine that you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or illegal activity, failed to pay amounts when due, or if we discontinue the website or a particular service offering. BrightSeek may also terminate individual service engagements in accordance with the termination provisions specified in the applicable service agreement.

Effect of Termination: Upon termination, your right to access and use the website and services immediately ceases. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including but not limited to intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution, shall survive any termination. BrightSeek shall not be liable for any damages resulting from termination in accordance with these Terms.

10

Dispute Resolution

BrightSeek is committed to resolving disputes efficiently and fairly. The following procedures govern the resolution of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof.

Informal Resolution: Before initiating any formal legal action, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. The party raising the dispute shall send a written notice to the other party describing the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. The parties shall then engage in good-faith negotiations for a period of at least 30 days. If the dispute is not resolved through negotiations, either party may proceed to formal dispute resolution.

Mediation: If informal negotiations do not resolve the dispute, the parties agree to submit the dispute to mediation administered by a mutually agreed mediation center in Kunming, Yunnan, China. The mediation shall be conducted in English or Chinese, as mutually agreed. Each party shall bear its own costs of mediation, and the parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the mediator.

Arbitration: If mediation does not resolve the dispute within 60 days of the commencement of mediation, either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in accordance with its then-current rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Kunming, Yunnan, China, before a single arbitrator mutually selected by the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrators decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Exceptions: Nothing in this Article prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, including for the protection of confidential information or intellectual property rights. The parties agree that any such court action shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in Kunming, Yunnan, China.

11

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Peoples Republic of China, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms or any service engagement.

Subject to the dispute resolution provisions in Article 10, the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Kunming, Yunnan, China, for any legal action or proceeding relating to these Terms. You waive any objection to venue in such courts, including any objection based on forum non conveniens.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to reflect the parties original intent as closely as possible while remaining enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

12

Modifications to Terms

BrightSeek reserves the right to modify, amend, or replace these Terms of Service at any time at our sole discretion. Changes may be made to reflect updates in our service offerings, changes in applicable laws and regulations, or adjustments in our business practices. All changes become effective immediately upon posting to the website unless a later effective date is specified.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes to these Terms. Such notice may be provided through a prominent notice on our website, an email to registered users, or other appropriate means. However, it is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes. The date of the most recent revision is indicated at the top of this page.

Your continued use of the website or services after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the website and services and terminate your relationship with BrightSeek in accordance with Article 9.

13

Force Majeure

BrightSeek shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms or any service agreement if such failure or delay arises from causes beyond its reasonable control. Such causes include, but are not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic, pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental actions, embargoes, utility failures, internet or telecommunications outages, denial-of-service attacks, or any other event that could not reasonably have been foreseen or prevented.

If a force majeure event occurs, the affected party shall notify the other party as soon as reasonably practicable, describing the nature and expected duration of the event. During the period of force majeure, the obligations of the affected party shall be suspended to the extent they are affected by the event. The affected party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of the event and resume performance as soon as possible.

If a force majeure event prevents performance of a material obligation for a continuous period exceeding 60 days, either party may terminate the affected service engagement upon written notice to the other party, without liability for such termination, provided that the client shall remain responsible for payment for services performed prior to the force majeure event.

14

Severability and Waiver

If any provision or portion of these Terms of Service is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the severed provision.

The failure of BrightSeek to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver of any term or condition shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of BrightSeek. A waiver of any breach or default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. All rights and remedies under these Terms are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
