These terms apply to the promotional offer we run with Aspire. The offer has two parts: a discount on our fees, which we give you, and a cashback reward, which Aspire pays. They are set out separately below because they come from different companies and work in different ways.
1. About this offer
1.1 These offer terms (the “Offer Terms”) apply to the promotional offer described on our website at peblx.com/aspire (the “Offer”). They are published by Peblx Limited (“Peblx”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a licensed trust or company service provider in Hong Kong, licence number TC011104.
1.2 Aspire is an independent third party. It is not our agent, partner in law, or subcontractor, and we are not its agent. We introduce clients to Aspire under a referral arrangement.
1.3 By taking up the Offer you accept these Offer Terms. They apply in addition to our Terms of Business, which govern the services themselves.
1.4 We do not give advice on banking, payment or other financial products, and nothing in the Offer or on the offer page is a recommendation that any particular account is suitable for you. Clause 3.3 of our Terms of Business applies.
2. When the Offer runs
2.1 The Offer runs until we stop it. We will publish notice on the offer page when it ends.
2.2 The version of these Offer Terms in force on the date we accept your order is the version that applies to you, whatever happens to the Offer afterwards.
3. Who can take up the Offer
3.1 The Peblx discount is open to new clients who place an order with us for the incorporation of a Hong Kong private company limited by shares, or for the transfer in of an existing Hong Kong company from another service provider.
3.2 The Aspire cashback is open to new and existing Peblx clients who are new to Aspire. You do not need to place an incorporation or transfer-in order to qualify for it. If you or your company already hold, or have previously held, an Aspire account, Aspire will not pay the cashback.
3.3 There is no restriction on where you, your directors or your shareholders are resident.
3.4 The Offer is for companies. Sole proprietorships, partnerships and branch registrations are not covered.
4. What you pay us
4.1 On our All-In Incorporation package, our published fee is HK$8,800 including government fees. We take HK$3,000 off, so the amount payable to us is HK$5,800.
4.2 On our Basic Incorporation package, our published fee is HK$6,800. We take HK$2,000 off, so the amount payable to us is HK$4,800.
4.3 If you take the All-In Incorporation package together with any accounting plan, we waive our own fee in full. You pay the government fee of HK$3,895 and nothing else for the incorporation.
4.4 Government fees are passed on at cost under clause 5.3 of our Terms of Business. The HK$3,895 covers the incorporation fee and your first Business Registration Certificate at the rates set by the Government at the date of your order. If those rates change, the amount changes with them.
4.5 All amounts are in Hong Kong dollars and exclude any taxes, duties or bank charges, which are your responsibility.
5. The Aspire cashback
5.1 The cashback of HK$2,000 is provided and paid by Aspire, not by Peblx. It is not a discount on our fees and we do not hold or handle it.
5.2 To qualify you must open a new Aspire business account using the referral link we give you, deposit at least HK$5,000 into that account, and keep the balance there for 30 consecutive days.
5.3 Aspire pays the cashback into your Aspire account. The timing is set by Aspire.
5.4 Opening an account is subject to Aspire’s own onboarding checks, terms and policies, which are separate from ours. Aspire may decline an application or close an account under its own terms.
5.5 The cashback arrangement is between you and Aspire. We are not a party to it and we are not responsible for Aspire’s decisions, for delays, or for non-payment of the cashback. If the cashback is not paid, your claim is against Aspire. Clause 6 of our Terms of Service and section 13 of our Terms of Business apply.
6. How to claim
6.1 If you are taking the Peblx discount, place your order with us and accept our Terms of Business; the discount is applied to your invoice at that point. If you are an existing client and want only the Aspire cashback, contact us for the referral link — no new incorporation or transfer-in order is needed.
6.2 We send you the Aspire referral link and help you with the application.
6.3 Open the account, deposit HK$5,000 and leave it in place for 30 days.
6.4 Aspire pays the HK$2,000 into your account.
7. Payment, due diligence and refunds
7.1 Our fees are payable in full and in advance. We take payment when you place your order, before we begin work and before we complete the customer due diligence described in section 4 of our Terms of Business.
7.2 If we are unable to complete that due diligence and for that reason do not start the services, we refund what you paid us, less any government fees or disbursements already incurred on your behalf and our reasonable administrative costs, under clause 4.7 of our Terms of Business.
7.3 In all other cases our fees are non-refundable under clause 5.6 of our Terms of Business. Government fees already paid to the Companies Registry or the Inland Revenue Department cannot be recovered once paid.
7.4 A refund from us does not entitle you to the Aspire cashback, and a cashback paid by Aspire is not set off against anything you owe us or anything we refund to you.
8. Limits on the Offer
8.1 One Offer per client and per company.
8.2 The Offer is personal to you. It cannot be transferred, sold or exchanged for cash.
8.3 The Offer cannot be combined with any other Peblx discount, referral credit, voucher or promotion unless we agree in writing.
8.4 The discount applies only to the package named in clause 4. Any other service you take is charged at our published rates.
9. Information we share with Aspire
9.1 To run the Offer we share limited information with Aspire: your name and contact details, your company name, and status updates such as whether you have signed with us and whether your Aspire account has opened. Aspire shares equivalent status updates with us. This is so that both of us can confirm you qualify.
9.2 By taking up the Offer you consent to that sharing. We handle personal data under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) and our Privacy Policy. Aspire handles it under its own privacy policy.
10. When we may decline
10.1 We may decline an order, or withdraw the Offer from you, where we cannot complete or maintain the checks required of us, where our risk assessment requires it, or where we reasonably believe the Offer is being misused, including through duplicate applications or information given to us that is false or misleading. Section 4 of our Terms of Business applies.
10.2 Aspire applies its own checks separately and may reach a different decision from ours.
11. Changing or ending the Offer
11.1 We may change or withdraw the Offer at any time by publishing notice on the offer page. Orders we have already accepted are honoured on the terms in force when we accepted them.
11.2 Aspire may change or end the cashback under its own terms. We will update the offer page as soon as we are told.
11.3 Each version of these Offer Terms carries a version number and an effective date.
12. How these terms fit with our others
12.1 These Offer Terms are read together with our Terms of Business and, where you use our platform, our Terms of Service.
12.2 If there is any inconsistency on a point about the Offer, these Offer Terms prevail. On everything else our Terms of Business prevail. Your order prevails over all of them, as set out in clause 2.2 of our Terms of Business.
12.3 A person who is not a party to these Offer Terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623) to enforce any of them.
13. Governing law
13.1 These Offer Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them, including non-contractual disputes, are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the courts of Hong Kong have exclusive jurisdiction.
14. Questions
14.1 Questions about the Offer can be sent to us through the client portal, by email to the address published on our website, or by post to our registered office.
