Legal Notices

Last updated: October 2026 This is an English translation. If it differs from the Chinese version, the Chinese version prevails.

1　Nature of the service

This site is a legal technology tool for preliminary screening and research in export controls and sanctions, outbound data transfer, trademarks and the classification of goods and services. Users enter the facts of their business; the system checks them step by step against the structure of published legislation and returns a risk tier, the facts still to be supplied and an index of the relevant rules, together with a self-assessment record for the user's internal files. The site is operated independently by an individual and is not a law firm.

The site does not provide legal services, does not accept instructions and does not give legal opinions. Using it does not create an agency relationship or any form of lawyer–client relationship.

The self-assessment record is generated from facts entered by the user. It is issued by the user and is the user's own internal material.

2　What the site does not do

Item classificationIt does not classify items or assign control numbers.
Ownership look-throughIt does not trace shareholdings. An entity owned directly or indirectly above the threshold by a listed party may be subject to the same restrictions without being listed itself; name matching cannot detect this.
List contentsIt does not reproduce control lists, embargo schedules, country control matrices or their annexes.
Enforcement casesIt does not cite enforcement cases or regulators' Q&As. Explanations of the rules rely on legislation only.
Licence and authorisation applicationsIt does not prepare or submit application materials.

3　Nature and limits of the results

  1. A preliminary result is a risk tier, not a determination of any specific matter. Item classification, control status and whether a transaction may proceed must be assessed case by case by a lawyer qualified in the relevant jurisdiction.
  2. Results depend on the facts the user enters. If those facts are inaccurate, incomplete or change, the results no longer apply.
  3. Results are tied to the product version entered. Any change in hardware, software, bill of materials, supply chain, destination or counterparty requires a new screening.
  4. Provisions and lists are cited for reference only; the current version in each jurisdiction prevails. Results may lapse when the applicable rules or lists are updated.
  5. Each jurisdiction applies on its own. A result for one jurisdiction does not apply to another, and a classification cannot be carried across jurisdictions.
  6. Sanctions list matching covers only the lists connected to this site, each of which is named in the self-assessment record. Lists not connected are outside its scope.
  7. List matching is by name, and its result holds only at the time of matching. Lists change continually; re-check at quotation, signing, shipment and payment.
  8. For other list and notice checks, the results are supplied by the user and have not been independently verified by the site.

4　Sources of the sanctions list data

  1. List data is taken from lists published by the competent sanctions authorities. The source, version date and number of entries of each list are shown where list matching is offered.
  2. The source of the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List is the European Commission, Financial Sanctions Database; the official dataset is published at data.europa.eu ↗. The version currently loaded is —, with — entries.
  3. List matching is a screening aid only and does not establish the sanctions status of any person or entity. For any formal determination under the EU list, the current text published in the Official Journal of the European Union prevails.
  4. The EU list is reused under the conditions of Commission Decision 2011/833/EU on the reuse of Commission documents, and its source is acknowledged as required. This site is operated independently and is not affiliated with the European Commission or any of its bodies; use of the list does not imply any endorsement by the European Commission.

5　Data handling

  1. Information entered by users, including product details and counterparty names, is stored in the user's own browser and is not uploaded to any server.
  2. Templates imported by users are likewise stored only on their device.
  3. Clearing browser data or changing browser or device deletes this information. Export anything you need to keep.
  4. Apart from the email address needed to register an account and correspondence users choose to send, the site collects no information that identifies users. See the Privacy Policy for how account information is handled.
  5. The site uses no advertising scripts and no cross-site tracking. Visits are counted with Cloudflare Web Analytics (no cookies), and fonts are loaded from a third-party content delivery network. See the Privacy Policy.

6　Unsolicited correspondence

Please do not send us confidential information or case materials. Information sent unsolicited is not treated as confidential and creates no duty of confidentiality, and the site does not give opinions on the matters it concerns.

7　Intellectual property

  1. Laws, regulations and normative documents cited on the site are public texts; no rights are claimed in them.
  2. Copyright in the site's organisation of the rules, assessment structure, interface and text belongs to the site.
  3. Templates are drafting references that users may adapt for their own business. They may not be sold or redistributed as a standalone product.

8　Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the site accepts no liability for any direct or indirect loss arising from the use of, or inability to use, its content. Users should make their own judgement on transaction decisions or obtain professional advice from someone qualified in the relevant jurisdiction.
