This site is published by ILLAESA LIMITED. By using it you accept these terms. They are short on purpose.
Who publishes this site
illaesa.com is operated by ILLAESA LIMITED, a company incorporated in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, trading as ILLÆSA. Our registered office and mailing address is Unit 7, 8/F., Tower B, 83 King Lam Street, Lai Chi Kok, Hong Kong SAR. You can reach us at hello@illaesa.com.
How we handle personal data is set out separately in our privacy notice.
This is not legal or professional advice
Much of what we publish here concerns law and regulation — forced labour import regimes, due diligence directives, disclosure rules, compliance deadlines. It is written to help people understand the direction of travel and think clearly about their own exposure. It is general commentary, not legal advice, and it does not create a professional or client relationship between you and ILLÆSA.
Regulation in this field moves quickly and applies differently depending on where you are incorporated, where you sell, what you make and who is in your chain. Nothing on this site is a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer or adviser who knows your circumstances, and you should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of anything here without taking that advice.
We take care to source what we publish, and we link to primary material wherever we can so you can check it yourself. Even so, we do not warrant that everything is accurate, complete or current, and dated material may have been overtaken by events. Where we express a view, we say so; a view is not a finding.
Links to other sites
We link extensively to legislation, regulators, official publications and third-party research. Those sites are not ours. We do not control them, we are not responsible for their content or availability, and a link is not an endorsement of the organisation behind it. Links rot; if you find one that has, please tell us.
Our material
Unless stated otherwise, the text, layout, graphics and photographs on this site are owned by ILLAESA LIMITED or used with permission, and are protected by copyright. The ILLÆSA name, wordmark and monogram are ours.
You are welcome to read, print and quote from this site for your own or your organisation’s internal use, and to share it, provided you credit ILLÆSA and link back to the page you took it from. Please do not republish substantial extracts, present our material as your own, or use it commercially, without asking us first. We are not precious about this — ask, and the answer is usually yes.
Third-party names, logos and trade marks appearing on this site belong to their respective owners.
Using the site
Please use the site lawfully and do not attempt to interfere with it, gain unauthorised access to it, or use it to transmit anything harmful. The contact form and mailing list are for genuine enquiries and subscriptions.
We provide the site as it is. We do not promise that it will always be available or free of error, and to the extent the law allows we are not liable for loss arising from your use of it or your reliance on anything in it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page, with the date at the top, is the one that applies.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the Hong Kong courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of your own country.
