Table of content

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this website (the “Site”) operated by Alvren Partners Limited, trading as Presswire, a private company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong on 8 September 2025, with company registration number 78758019, having its registered office at Unit 1603, 16th Floor, Wing On Centre, 111 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong (“Presswire”, “we”, “our” or “us”). By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using this Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be legally bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
‍
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease using this Site.

I. Scope of Use

The Site is made available for users to learn about and engage with the services offered by Presswire. These include, without limitation, the preparation, editing, strategic targeting, and distribution of organic press releases to digital media outlets, as well as marketing consulting, brand strategy advisory, and project management services related to media, communication, and digital campaigns.
‍
Users agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that complies with these Terms and applicable laws.

II. Service Scope, Standards, and Guarantee

Presswire provides professional media placement, marketing consulting, and project management services.
‍
In respect of media placement campaigns, Presswire guarantees the publication of at least one press release in a recognized digital news outlet within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of campaign initiation.

Campaign initiation shall be deemed to occur once:
(i) full payment for the campaign has been received, and
(ii) the final or client-approved version of the press release has been made available for distribution.

All other services offered by Presswire, including marketing consulting, brand strategy, and project management, are performed on a professional best-efforts basis and do not carry any guarantee of specific commercial or media results unless expressly agreed in writing.

III. Refund Policy

In the event Presswire fails to secure a publication within the 14-day period, you are entitled to a full refund of the fees paid for that campaign.

Refund conditions:

  • You must submit a written refund request within 14 calendar days after the expiration of the campaign window.
  • Refunds are contingent upon your full cooperation, including providing timely approvals, information, and content as requested.
  • No refund will be issued if failure to publish is due to your delay, refusal, or breach of these Terms.
  • Refunds are processed to the original payment method unless otherwise agreed.

IV. Editorial Independence and Limitations of Control

Presswire guarantees publication but does not guarantee any specific editorial outcome. Once submitted to a media partner, Presswire does not control and is not responsible for:

  • Editorial changes made by the publisher (e.g. title, structure, summary edits, or tone)
  • Headline modifications or layout variations
  • Whether the article is featured, indexed, or archived
  • Post-publication actions by the publisher, including removal, URL changes, or de-indexing

Presswire is a facilitator of access, not the editorial owner. You agree not to hold Presswire liable for any consequences arising from such editorial discretion.

With respect to consulting and project management services, Presswire provides strategic recommendations and operational support based on professional judgment. However, ultimate implementation decisions and outcomes remain the responsibility of the client, and Presswire disclaims any warranty that such recommendations will achieve particular business or marketing results.

V. Third-Party Engagement

To deliver its services effectively, Presswire may subcontract, delegate, or collaborate with third-party service providers, including but not limited to freelance writers and editors, marketing and communications consultants, media networks, digital publishers, advertising or analytics providers, and project contractors.

You expressly authorize Presswire to share your content, project materials, and campaign-related information with such third parties strictly for the purpose of performing the contracted services. Presswire remains your primary point of contact and will exercise reasonable care in selecting and coordinating third-party partners.

However, Presswire shall not be liable for delays, errors, or damages resulting from acts or omissions of third parties that are beyond its reasonable control, nor for any independent obligations such third parties may owe directly to you or to other clients.
