Terms Of Use

All such guidelines, rules or terms (including without limitation the Maxwell GeoSystems Privacy Policy) are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. Maxwell GeoSystems may also offer other services that are governed by these or different terms of service.

Please be aware that there is a significant cyber fraud and scam risk when transferring money. Fraudsters frequently send scam emails using domain names highly similar to those of a genuine website. Maxwell GeoSystems and its designated subsidiaries do not rely on letter or email communication/s of our company bank account details alone. If you receive any such notification telling you that our company bank account details have changed, please do not send any funds electronically until you have spoken directly to a member of our Maxwell GeoSystems Finance team for authenticity validation. For your security, please make a phone call to our Finance Department on +852 2581 2288 and request for “Bank account verification” before you make any payment. This will ensure that the bank account details you have received are authentic. In event that you make any payment without such prior consultation or verification of authenticity with Maxwell GeoSystems in accordance with this stated policy, this is at your risk and Maxwell GeoSystems will not be held liable for any consequent loss of funds. We constantly remain vigilant to these sort of cyber fraud and financial scams and look to maintain best security practices for fraud prevention. This Bank Payment Verification Policy may be updated periodically reflecting any necessary changes or amendments which will be duly communicated to you.
