By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to these terms. We've written them as clearly as possible — if anything is unclear, please get in touch.

Far East Advisory provides business advisory and support services for Western businesses operating in or looking to operate in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Our services include but are not limited to:
The specific services, deliverables, timelines, and fees for any client engagement will be agreed in writing before work commences.
Our services constitute business advisory support. We are not a law firm, accounting firm, or licensed financial advisor. Where legal, accounting, or financial advice is required, we will refer you to or coordinate with appropriately qualified professionals.
We offer a free initial consultation of up to 30 minutes to prospective clients. This consultation is provided without obligation and at our discretion.
Information shared during a free consultation is treated confidentially. The consultation does not constitute the commencement of a formal client engagement and does not create any contractual obligation on either party.
We reserve the right to decline consultation requests at our discretion, including where we believe there may be a conflict of interest or where the enquiry falls outside our areas of expertise.
All formal client engagements commence upon the acceptance of a written proposal or service agreement. No work will begin without a clear written agreement in place covering scope, deliverables, fees, and timeline.
To enable us to deliver our services effectively, you agree to:
We commit to:
All fees are agreed in writing before any work commences. Our standard payment terms are:
We reserve the right to charge reasonable interest on overdue invoices. If you have a query about an invoice, please contact us promptly and we will work to resolve it quickly.
We treat all client information with complete confidentiality. We will not disclose your confidential information to any third party without your prior written consent, except:
If you require a formal Non-Disclosure Agreement before discussions begin, we are happy to enter into one. Please request this before sharing any sensitive information.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, reports, documents, and other work product created specifically for you as part of a client engagement become your property upon full payment of all fees related to that engagement.
Any materials, specifications, designs, or other content you provide to us remain your property. You grant us a limited licence to use these materials solely for the purpose of delivering your project.

Upon termination, we will provide you with all work completed to date. Confidentiality obligations, intellectual property provisions, and payment obligations for completed work survive termination.
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. In the event of any dispute arising from these terms or our services, we encourage you to contact us first to seek an amicable resolution — we take all concerns seriously and will work hard to resolve issues fairly.
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the parties agree to attempt mediation before pursuing formal legal proceedings.
