Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 22 August 2026

These terms apply when you register your interest on this website. They are written to be read, not to hide anything. If something here isn't clear, email us and we'll explain it.

1. Who we are

BUFF is a brand of The Spoon Lab Limited, a company registered in Hong Kong. You can reach us at WhatsApp +852 9502 8023.

2. Registering interest is not a purchase

Registering your interest does not create a contract of sale, and does not reserve stock for you. No payment is taken. No card details are collected. You are not obliged to buy anything, ever.

Registering your interest does two things:

  1. It records that you're interested, and the quantity you're considering.
  2. It holds the founding price shown to you at the time you registered.

3. What happens next

When our first production run is confirmed, we will email you with the confirmed delivery date, the final price, and a payment link. The price will never be higher than the price you were shown.

A contract of sale is formed only when you complete that payment and we confirm your order in writing. Until that moment, you owe us nothing.

If you don't respond to that email, nothing happens. You will not be charged, and your registration simply lapses.

4. Your price hold

The founding price is held for you personally, for the quantity you registered, and for the first production run only. If you later increase your quantity, the additional cups may be at the price current at that time.

We may close the founding-price offer at any time. Anyone who has already registered keeps the price they were shown.

5. If we're delayed, or can't deliver at all

We are a new business bringing a new product to market, and production timelines can move. We would rather tell you the truth late than a comfortable guess early.

If our timeline changes, we will email you with a revised date. If we find we cannot produce or deliver at all, we will tell you that too, promptly.

Because no money changes hands at this stage, a delay or cancellation on our side costs you nothing.

6. Withdrawing your interest

Cancel at any time, for any reason, by emailing WhatsApp +852 9502 8023. No reason is required and there is nothing to refund. We'll confirm by reply.

7. Accuracy of what you tell us

Please give us a real email address and WhatsApp number — they're the only ways we have to reach you. We're not able to honour a price hold we can't contact you about.

8. Referral reward

No purchase necessary. Taking part is free, and you never have to buy anything to qualify.

When you register your interest you receive a referral code. If another person registers using your code, both of you qualify for a piece of BUFF merchandise.

This is limited to the first 50 people — that is 25 referrer-and-friend pairs — counted in the order registrations are received. Once 50 people have qualified, the offer closes.

We will contact qualifying people about their merchandise when we launch. Merchandise is not exchangeable for cash or product, and cannot be transferred. If a specific item becomes unavailable we may substitute one of similar value.

We may void a qualification we reasonably believe to be fraudulent, automated, or created using duplicate or fake identities. Where we do so, we will tell the person why.

9. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Hong Kong law.

Subject to that:

10. Product information

We take care to describe BUFF accurately. Nutritional values are typical values and may vary slightly between batches. Product photographs are illustrative. If you have an allergy or a specific dietary requirement, please check the ingredient list on the pack and contact us if anything is unclear.

11. Pricing and description errors

If we discover an error in the price or description after you have registered or ordered, we will contact you as soon as we can and give you the choice of confirming at the corrected price or cancelling for a full refund. We are not obliged to supply at an incorrect price.

12. Our right to refuse or cancel

We may decline or cancel any interest registration or order at our discretion, including where:

If we cancel an order you have already paid for, we will refund you in full. That refund is your sole remedy in those circumstances.

13. Events outside our control

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control — including extreme weather, typhoon or black rainstorm warnings, epidemic or public health measures, failure of our manufacturer or delivery partner, equipment or power failure, or government action.

If such an event occurs, we will tell you, and will either extend the timeline or cancel and refund you.

14. Intellectual property

All content on this website — including the BUFF name, logo, text, photographs, recipes and design — belongs to The Spoon Lab Limited or is used under licence. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute or use it commercially without our written permission.

15. Website availability

This website is provided on an "as is" basis. We do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free, and we may change, suspend or withdraw it at any time without notice.

16. General

17. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as our launch plans firm up. If a change materially affects you, we'll email everyone on the interest list.

18. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and the Hong Kong courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

19. Language

These terms are provided in English and Traditional Chinese. If there is any inconsistency between the two versions, the English version prevails.
