2. Confidentiality Obligations and Non-Disclosure

2.1 Commitment to Confidentiality. OddityOps commits to the strictest standards of confidentiality for all invention ideas, concepts, designs, technical specifications, business strategies, and other proprietary information disclosed by Clients, using restricted access controls, secure storage, encrypted communications, and mandatory confidentiality training for personnel.

2.2 Scope. All information submitted to OddityOps through any medium is deemed Confidential Information, including invention concepts, designs/CAD/drawings, prototypes and samples, business and marketing plans, pricing and financials, patent materials, supplier and manufacturer contacts, customer lists and market research, and any other information a reasonable person would understand to be proprietary.

2.3 Company Obligations. OddityOps shall not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the Client’s prior written consent, except as permitted herein or required by law, and shall use it solely to evaluate and provide the contracted Services. All personnel and agents with access must sign confidentiality agreements no less restrictive than these Terms; the Company is responsible for their breaches.

2.4 Permitted Third-Party Disclosures. OddityOps may disclose Confidential Information to specialized service providers (patent attorneys/agents, prototype manufacturers, industrial designers/engineers, marketing/branding agencies) only where: (a) the Client has authorized it (by pre-approval or case-by-case); (b) the third party has signed substantially similar confidentiality terms; (c) disclosure is limited to the minimum necessary; and (d) OddityOps has conducted appropriate due diligence. The Client pre-approves the categories above subject to such confidentiality agreements. OddityOps shall give the Client advance written notice of any proposed disclosure (identity and nature of information), and the Client may withhold consent.

2.5 Exceptions. Obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes public through no fault of OddityOps; (b) was lawfully held before disclosure; (c) is independently developed without reference to Client information; (d) is rightfully obtained from a third party without confidentiality obligation; or (e) is required to be disclosed by law (with prompt notice to the Client where legally permissible).

2.6 Return / Destruction. On termination or on Client request, OddityOps shall promptly return or (at Client’s election) destroy all tangible Confidential Information and certify destruction, except one archival copy retained solely for legal-compliance purposes and kept subject to these Terms.

2.7 Duration. Confidentiality survives termination — in perpetuity for trade secrets, and for five (5) years from disclosure for other Confidential Information, unless a longer period is separately agreed.

3. Intellectual Property Rights and Ownership

3.1 Client Retains IP. OddityOps acknowledges that the Client retains full, complete, and exclusive ownership of all Intellectual Property in the invention, concept, or product idea submitted, including all patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. Nothing herein grants OddityOps any ownership in the Client’s IP except the limited license in Section 3.4.

3.2 Deliverables. Upon full payment under the applicable Service Agreement, all Deliverables become the sole property of the Client, and OddityOps assigns all right, title, and interest therein. Prior to full payment, OddityOps retains legal title as security for payment while the Client holds an equitable interest; on full payment, OddityOps will execute documents reasonably necessary to evidence transfer.

3.3 OddityOps Methodologies. OddityOps retains its pre-existing or independently developed methodologies, processes, know-how, and general expertise, and may use them for other clients provided it does not disclose this Client’s Confidential Information or IP.

3.4 Limited License. The Client grants OddityOps a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Client’s Confidential Information and IP solely to perform the Services; it terminates on completion or termination of the Service Agreement.

3.5 Site Content. All Site content is the property of Daka International Limited or its suppliers and is protected by Hong Kong and international copyright law. Users may not reproduce, resell, or exploit any portion of the Site without OddityOps’ written permission. Unauthorized use of marks may constitute infringement.

4. Service Guarantees, Limitations, and Disclaimers

4.1 Money-Back Guarantee. The guarantee applies exclusively where OddityOps fails to deliver the specific Services and Deliverables expressly set out in the executed Service Agreement, on the agreed timeline and to the agreed specifications. To invoke it, the Client must submit a written refund request within thirty (30) days of the scheduled delivery date, detailing the failure and allowing OddityOps a reasonable opportunity to cure. If deficiencies are not cured, the Client is entitled to a refund proportionate to undelivered Services or the deficiency, processed via the escrow provider within fourteen (14) business days of dispute resolution. The guarantee does NOT apply to: (a) commercial success, market acceptance, or profitability; (b) actions/failures of third parties (patent offices, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, licensees); (c) post-signing changes to scope unless agreed in writing; (d) delays caused by the Client; (e) market/economic/competitive conditions; or (f) force majeure.

4.2 Escrow Protection. All payments are deposited with a mutually agreed third-party escrow provider. Funds are released only as the Client approves milestone Deliverables. The Client has a defined review period to approve or specify deficiencies; OddityOps has a reasonable cure opportunity. Disputes hold the funds pending resolution under Section 9. Escrow protects both parties: Client funds are secured until satisfactory delivery; OddityOps is assured of payment on successful completion.

4.3 No Guarantee of Commercial Success. OddityOps disclaims any guarantee or representation regarding: (a) commercial viability or profitability; (b) recovery of investment or any revenue level; (c) manufacturer willingness or terms; (d) retailer/distributor willingness; (e) licensing availability or terms; (f) patentability; (g) freedom to operate; or (h) absence of competition. Success depends on many variables beyond anyone’s control. Clients are advised to conduct independent market, competitive, and financial due diligence and to consult appropriate professionals.

4.4 Honest Evaluation. OddityOps will conduct a complimentary preliminary evaluation (novelty/prior-art likelihood, technical feasibility, market potential, estimated costs, obvious risks). If, in OddityOps’ professional judgment, a concept has fundamental flaws or the costs/risks substantially outweigh the benefits, the Company will candidly say so and will not accept payment to proceed where it believes in good faith the investment is unlikely to be recovered.

5. Limitation of Liability and Scope of Services

5.1 Scope / Professional Limitations. OddityOps provides product development, industrial design, prototyping, manufacturing coordination, marketing strategy, and licensing facilitation. OddityOps is not: (a) a law firm; (b) a patent attorney/agent; (c) a financial/investment advisor; (d) an accounting/tax firm; (e) an insurer or guarantor of success; or (f) a manufacturer/retailer/distributor. Clients should retain qualified legal counsel for patents, trademarks, contracts, and regulatory matters, and appropriate financial/tax professionals.

5.2 Monetary Cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, OddityOps’ total aggregate liability (contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) for all claims arising from these Terms, any Service Agreement, or the Services shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by the Client under the applicable Service Agreement.

5.3 No Consequential Damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, OddityOps is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, business, data, or opportunity, even if advised of the possibility.

5.4 Third-Party Actions. OddityOps is not liable for the actions/failures of third-party manufacturers, suppliers, or service providers; patent-office decisions; third-party infringement claims; retailer/distributor decisions; market changes; competitor actions; regulatory actions; or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control. OddityOps will use commercially reasonable efforts to select competent providers but does not guarantee their performance.

5.5 Client Responsibilities. The Client is solely responsible for providing accurate/timely information; responding promptly to requests; reviewing Deliverables within agreed timeframes; legal/regulatory compliance; securing IP protection through counsel; final business decisions; due diligence; and managing partner relationships. OddityOps is not liable for delays or failures resulting from the Client’s breach of these obligations.

6. Disclaimers of Warranties

6.1 As-Is. Except as expressly stated in a written Service Agreement, all Services and Deliverables are provided “as-is” and “as-available,” without warranties of any kind. OddityOps disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement; warranties of uninterrupted/error-free service; and warranties as to accuracy or reliability of results.

6.2 No Professional/Legal Advice. Information from the Site or communications is general information only and is not legal, patent, financial, tax, medical, safety, or regulatory advice. Clients should not make legal/financial/business decisions based solely on OddityOps information and should consult appropriate professionals.

6.3 Third-Party Links. The Site may link to third-party sites OddityOps does not control and is not responsible for. Users access them at their own risk.

7. Pricing, Payment Terms, and Financial Arrangements

7.1 Transparent Pricing. OddityOps provides clear, written quotations specifying all fees before the Client commits. Pricing is customized to project complexity, scope, materials/processes, timeline, and special requirements. Quotations are valid for thirty (30) days and any adjustments (due to changed requirements or unforeseen challenges) are communicated and approved before additional work.

7.2 Milestone Billing. Initial consultation/evaluation is complimentary. On signing, the project is divided into milestones, each tied to specific Deliverables; payment for each milestone is held in escrow and released on the Client’s approval. Final balance releases on completion; the Client may withhold final payment for non-conforming Deliverables subject to Section 9.

7.3 Refunds. Governed by Section 4.1 and the Service Agreement. The Client submits a written request within thirty (30) days of the scheduled delivery date; OddityOps responds within ten (10) business days; agreed refunds are processed via escrow within fourteen (14) business days, less non-recoverable third-party fees (escrow/processing).

7.4 Currency / FX. Fees are denominated and payable in USD. Non-US Clients may pay in local currency at the prevailing rate at payment; exchange-rate fluctuations are the Client’s responsibility; OddityOps may adjust invoiced amounts for significant FX movements (communicated before payment). Clients bear bank/wire/conversion fees; the full invoiced amount must be received.

8. Privacy, Data Protection, and Information Security

8.1 Collection / Use. OddityOps collects and processes personal information (names, contact, business, and financial information) per its Privacy Policy, incorporated by reference. OddityOps complies with applicable data-protection laws including the GDPR (EU clients), CCPA (California residents), and the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance of Hong Kong. Clients have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing subject to legal/contractual limits, exercisable via the contact details in Section 15.

8.2 Security. OddityOps maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal and Confidential Information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, consistent with the confidentiality measures in Section 2.1. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and OddityOps cannot guarantee absolute security.

8.3 Retention / Deletion. OddityOps retains Client information: (a) for active projects, during the engagement plus two years; (b) for completed projects, seven years (legal/tax/regulatory); and (c) for marketing, until the Client opts out. On expiry of the retention period or on request (subject to legal retention), OddityOps will securely delete or anonymize the information.

9. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

9.1 Good-Faith Negotiation. Either party may initiate by written notice describing the Dispute; the parties (with settlement authority) shall negotiate in good faith for at least thirty (30) days before pursuing other mechanisms, except to preserve a limitation period or seek emergency injunctive relief.

9.2 Mediation. If unresolved in thirty (30) days, either party may submit the Dispute to mediation by a mutually agreed mediator (preferably with product-development experience); failing agreement within fourteen (14) days, appointment by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) or another reputable body. Costs shared equally; mediation confidential; completed within sixty (60) days of appointment unless extended.

9.3 Binding Arbitration. If mediation fails or is declined, the Dispute is finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the HKIAC under its Administered Arbitration Rules, by a single arbitrator, seat Hong Kong, language English. The award is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment; appeal is waived except on limited Hong Kong statutory grounds. Each party bears its own fees unless the arbitrator finds a claim/defense frivolous or in bad faith.

9.4 Governing Law. These Terms and any Service Agreement are governed by the substantive laws of the Hong Kong SAR, excluding conflict-of-laws principles and the UN CISG.

9.5 Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 9.3, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Hong Kong SAR and waive objections to venue/inconvenient forum.

10. Indemnification

The Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Daka International Limited (t/a OddityOps), its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and contractors (the “Indemnified Parties”) from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) the Client’s breach of these Terms or a Service Agreement; (b) the Client’s violation of law or third-party rights; (c) any claim that the Client’s invention/product/IP infringes or misappropriates a third party’s rights; (d) injury or damage caused by the Client’s product or any defect; (e) the Client’s misuse of Services/Deliverables; (f) false or inaccurate information provided by the Client; or (g) the Client’s negligent or wrongful acts/omissions. The Client’s duty includes defending the Indemnified Parties and paying judgments/settlements. OddityOps will give prompt notice and cooperate, and may participate in the defense at its own expense.

11. Termination of Services and Effect Thereof

11.1 By Client. The Client may terminate any Service Agreement on written notice. On termination: (a) the Client pays for Services performed to date (pro-rata per the milestone structure); (b) escrowed funds not owed for completed work are refunded within fourteen (14) business days; (c) OddityOps returns or destroys (at Client’s election) Client Confidential Information/materials; and (d) the Client retains ownership of fully paid Deliverables, delivered in usable format.

11.2 By OddityOps. OddityOps may terminate with or without cause on written notice, and immediately for: (a) uncured material breach (14-day cure); (b) false/inaccurate information; (c) non-payment uncured for 14 days after notice; (d) abusive/threatening behavior toward personnel; (e) where continuing would violate law or professional ethics; or (f) Client insolvency/bankruptcy. On OddityOps termination, the Client is refunded fees for Services not yet performed, less amounts owed for completed work; materials are returned/destroyed per Section 11.1.
