Terms of Service
Last updated: 9 November 2026.
These terms are between you and VariMake Limited (Hong Kong CR 80819625), the company that operates Sorcgard. You accept these terms when you place an order, pay a fee, or ask us to start work on a company name or USCC.
What you buy
You buy an intelligence deliverable. It is a risk-signal snapshot. We read official public registers, we cross-check the documents you send, and the report is signed by the researcher.
The standard order is Supplier Verify at $129, for one specified supplier. Timing is confirmed per order, after we have a company name or USCC and enough detail to start.
The report carries a query date. A later change at the register is not a defect in the snapshot. The report discloses registry sync lag. It is not a live feed. Orders run on one of two tracks: the materials track, where you send deal documents for the consistency check, or the registry-only track, which is labelled as such on the report. The track is your choice at order time.
What you do not buy
You do not buy a ruling. The final buying decision stays with your team. We do not tell you whether to pay a supplier, whether to sign a contract, or whether a supplier is sound.
You do not buy interception or recovery of a payment. We do not stop a wire. We do not recall a wire. We do not collect a deposit back from a supplier. If you have already paid and the supplier has stopped replying, we can still report what the public record showed on the query date. That report is the whole deliverable. It is not a recovery service.
You do not buy legal advice, a credit rating, an official certification, a factory audit, a product inspection, or a compliance test. Factory visits are not offered. A video check happens only if you ask and the supplier has agreed.
Not a guarantee. The report is not a guarantee of future performance. The researcher signs the report so you can see who did the work. The signature is not a promise about a later shipment, a later payment, or what the supplier does after the query date.
Permitted use
This report is for your own supplier due diligence before you pay a deposit. It is not made for employment screening, tenant screening, or credit decisions, and it must not be used as the sole basis for those decisions. Ordering the report confirms you will use it for this purpose.
Data boundary
The report is based only on information from open sources and records supplied by you. Each negative finding names the registry it was checked in. A “not found” result is never reported as “clear” — it means nothing was found in the named sources as of the pull date.
Language
Reports quote Chinese records in the original alongside English interpretation. For any inconsistency between the English interpretation and the Chinese source records, the Chinese records prevail.
Price and payment
The price is a one-time price: $129 for one specified supplier. There is no subscription, no monthly quota, and no auto-renew.
You pay the amount confirmed for your order before payment.
Refund
If any of these five key registration facts is wrong — legal status, legal representative, USCC, registered address, or incorporation date — you get a full refund within 14 days of delivery, measured against the report timestamp. This refund is available once per buyer.
A refund under this clause covers those five facts only. It does not cover interpretive judgments. Risk levels, red-flag comments, and deal-fit comments are interpretive judgments. It does not cover a register entry created or updated after the query date. It does not refund money you paid the supplier. The most we return under this clause is the fee you paid us for that report.
To ask for a refund, send the report reference and say which of the five facts you believe is wrong. We compare that point with the source recorded in the report.
If we cannot identify the company from what you sent, we will ask once for a clearer name or USCC before we treat the order as delivered.
Follow-up
The $129 report includes one follow-up question within 7 days of delivery. The question has to be about that report. It is not a second company.
Your materials
You confirm you may send the company name, the USCC, and the deal documents. We may keep our copies for up to 180 days, as the privacy policy says.
Hong Kong law and the fee cap
These terms are governed by the law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The courts of Hong Kong have exclusive jurisdiction.
Our liability arising out of a report is capped at the fee you paid for that report. Nothing in these terms removes a duty that Hong Kong law does not allow us to remove.
