Terms of Use
GEHT International Limited
1. About these terms
These terms of use (“Terms”) govern your use of the website at gehtinternational.com, including any subdomain (the “Site”). Please read them before using the Site. By using the Site you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Site.
When you submit an enquiry through the Site you are asked to confirm that you accept these Terms. You cannot submit an enquiry without giving that confirmation.
The Site is a business-to-business information resource. It presents the products we source and supply, the markets we serve, and how to reach us. You cannot place an order, make a payment or create an account on the Site.
The Site is directed at businesses and at individuals acting in a professional capacity. It is not intended for consumers, and no part of it is an offer to supply to consumers.
These Terms do not cover:
- the supply of products. Supply is governed by the quotation, order confirmation and other transaction documents issued for the specific order, and by any terms agreed in writing between us;
- the GEHT Marketplace platform at www.gehtmarketplace.com, which is a separate platform with its own terms; or
- third-party websites we link to, including manufacturer and principal sites and LinkedIn.
How we handle personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy, published separately at /privacy.

We may revise these Terms at any time. The version published on the Site applies to your use of it, and the version date appears at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted on this page when they take effect. Please check this page from time to time.
We may change, suspend, withdraw or restrict all or any part of the Site without notice. We do not guarantee that the Site, or any content on it, will always be available or uninterrupted.
4. Accessing the Site
Access to the Site is free of charge. You are responsible for your own arrangements to access it, including your internet connection and equipment, and for ensuring that anyone accessing the Site through your connection is aware of these Terms and complies with them.
We do not guarantee that the Site will be secure or free from bugs or viruses, and we are not liable for loss or damage caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, virus or other technologically harmful material that infects your equipment through your use of the Site. You should use your own virus protection.
5. Acceptable use
You may use the Site only for lawful purposes. You must not:
- use the Site in any way that breaches applicable law, or for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, the server on which it is stored, or any connected server, computer or database;
- introduce any virus, trojan, worm, logic bomb or other malicious material;
- attack the Site by means of a denial-of-service attack;
- use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access, harvest or copy any part of the Site, or to extract data for the purpose of building a competing product, service or dataset, or for training a machine learning or artificial intelligence system, without our prior written consent;
- submit false, misleading or third-party contact details through our enquiry form, or use the enquiry form to send unsolicited commercial communications; or
- reproduce, duplicate, copy, resell or commercially exploit any part of the Site except as section 6 permits.
We reserve all rights, including for the purposes of text and data mining, in the content of the Site. That reservation is also expressed by machine-readable means on the Site itself.
We may report any breach of this section to the relevant law enforcement authorities, and will disclose information about you where we are required to do so by law. Any such disclosure is made in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You will indemnify us against any loss, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal costs) we incur arising from your breach of this section.
6. Intellectual property
Our rights. We are the owner or licensee of all intellectual property rights in the Site and in the material published on it, except as stated below. Those rights are protected by copyright and other laws worldwide. All such rights are reserved.
The GEHT International name, the GEHT wordmark and the GEHT logo are trade marks of GEHT International Limited. You may not use them without our prior written consent.
What you may do. You may view, download and print pages of the Site for your own internal business use in evaluating our products and services, and you may share them internally within your organisation for that purpose. You must not modify the material, remove any copyright or proprietary notice, or use any part of it for commercial purposes without a licence from us.
Third-party rights. The Site displays product information, images, technical data, datasheets and trade marks belonging to the manufacturers and principals we represent. Those rights remain with their respective owners. Datasheets and other manufacturer documents available for download through the Site remain the property of the issuing manufacturer and are provided for evaluation purposes; their use may be subject to the manufacturer’s own terms. Manufacturer datasheets and technical documents are reproduced as supplied to us. We do not verify their content, and their accuracy is the responsibility of the issuing manufacturer.
This section applies to manufacturer documents made available through the Site, including where the document is reached by a link to another platform operated by us.
If you print, copy or download any part of the Site in breach of these Terms, your right to use the Site ends immediately and you must, at our option, return or destroy any copies you have made.
7. Product and technical information
The Site describes products we source and supply as an agency and sourcing partner. It is an information resource, not a specification document.
- Indicative only. Specifications, performance figures, dimensions, configurations, availability and lead times shown on the Site are indicative and may change without notice. Manufacturers revise products and specifications at their discretion.
- Verify before relying. Binding specifications for any supply are those stated in the quotation, order confirmation and accompanying manufacturer documentation issued for that order. Where a design or purchasing decision depends on a specification, confirm it with us in writing first.
- No professional advice. Content on the Site is general information about products and capabilities. It is not engineering, technical, safety or regulatory advice, and it is not an assessment of suitability for your application. You are responsible for determining whether a product is fit for your intended use.
- Laser and optical safety. Many of the products described are high-power laser and optoelectronic devices requiring appropriate safety controls, training and protective measures. Nothing on the Site substitutes for the manufacturer’s safety documentation or applicable safety standards.
To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties, representations and conditions relating to the Site and its content, whether express or implied.
8. Enquiries and quotations
Submitting an enquiry through the Site does not create a contract between us.
- An enquiry is a request for information or for a quotation. It places no obligation on either party.
- A quotation issued by us is an invitation to treat — an invitation to proceed — and is not a binding offer unless it says so expressly. Quotations are valid only for the period stated on them.
- A contract of supply arises only when we issue a written order confirmation, and is subject to the terms stated in that confirmation and in the accompanying transaction documents.
- We may decline any enquiry or order, in whole or in part, without giving reasons. Section 10 describes circumstances in which we are required to decline.
Our order confirmation, together with the documents referred to in it, sets out the terms on which we supply. Any terms or conditions put forward by you — whether in a purchase order, an acknowledgement, or any other document — do not apply and are not incorporated, unless we have expressly accepted them in writing.
9. Information you submit to us
Unless we have signed a separate confidentiality agreement with you, information you submit through the Site or in correspondence is not treated as confidential. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to use that information for the purpose of responding to your enquiry, which includes disclosing the technical requirements it contains to the manufacturers, principals and suppliers whose products it concerns.
Do not submit confidential or commercially sensitive information through the Site. If your enquiry involves such information, contact us to put a confidentiality agreement in place first.
Personal data you submit is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Export control, sanctions and end-use
The products described on the Site — including high-power semiconductor lasers, LiDAR components, optical fibers and photonics test and probe systems — are subject to export control and dual-use regulations in several jurisdictions.
When you submit an enquiry through the Site you are asked to confirm expressly that, so far as you are aware, your enquiry does not relate to a use, end-user or destination prohibited under applicable export control or sanctions law. You cannot submit an enquiry without giving that confirmation.
You acknowledge that:
- supply of any product may be conditional on export licences, end-user statements, end-use declarations and screening being completed to our satisfaction and to that of the relevant manufacturer or principal;
- we screen customer, end-user, consignee and intermediary contacts against sanctions and denied-party lists as a matter of routine practice on orders, as described in our Privacy Policy;
- we will decline or discontinue any enquiry or order where licensing, screening or end-use requirements cannot be satisfied; and
- information on the Site does not constitute confirmation that a product may lawfully be exported to any particular destination or end-user.
You must not re-export, transfer or divert any product supplied by us in breach of any applicable export control or sanctions law, and you must notify us promptly of any change to the end-use or end-user you have stated to us.
We are not liable for any delay in, or failure of, supply arising from an export licence being refused, delayed, withdrawn or made subject to conditions, or from any screening requirement not being satisfied, and we may cancel an affected order without liability.
Nothing on the Site is an offer to supply any product to any person or destination where doing so would be unlawful.
11. GEHT Marketplace and third-party links
The Site links to third-party websites, including manufacturer and principal sites and LinkedIn, and to the GEHT Marketplace platform at www.gehtmarketplace.com.
Links to third-party sites are provided for information only. We do not control those sites, do not endorse their content, and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss arising from your use of them.
GEHT Marketplace is a separate platform operated by us under its own terms of use and privacy notice; these Terms do not apply to it.
12. Linking to the Site
You may link to the Site’s home page provided you do so fairly and lawfully, in a way that does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it, and does not suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement where none exists.
You must not frame the Site on any other site, establish a link from any site that is not owned by you, or link in any way that misrepresents the relationship between you and us. We may withdraw linking permission at any time without notice.
13. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Subject to that, and to the extent permitted by law:
- we exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations and other terms that may apply to the Site or its content;
- we are not liable for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with use of, or inability to use, the Site, or use of or reliance on any content on it; and
- in particular we are not liable for loss of profits, sales, business or revenue, business interruption, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business opportunity, goodwill or reputation, or any indirect or consequential loss or damage.
This section applies both to you and to the organisation on whose behalf you use the Site.
Each exclusion and limitation in this section operates separately. If any of them is held to be unreasonable or unenforceable, it applies to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining exclusions and limitations continue in full force.
14. Suspension and withdrawal of access
We may suspend or withdraw your access to the Site, without notice and without liability, if we consider that you have breached these Terms, or where we consider suspension necessary to protect the Site, our business or other users.
15. Privacy and cookies
We process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, published at /privacy, which explains what we collect, why, and your rights under the GDPR and the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance. The Site uses cookies as described in that policy.
16. General
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
- No waiver. If we do not insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or delay in enforcing our rights, that does not waive those rights.
- Entire terms. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your use of the Site.
- Assignment. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. You may not transfer yours without our written consent.
- No agency. Nothing on the Site or in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between you and us.
- No third-party rights. These Terms are between you and us. No other person has any right to enforce them, and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623) does not apply to them.
17. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms, their subject matter and their formation are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the courts of Hong Kong have exclusive jurisdiction.
This does not affect any mandatory right you have under the law of your own country, including any right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country where the law so provides.
