Terms of Service

Who we are

ChinaClear is an independent project. It is not connected to, endorsed by or acting for any government, immigration authority, embassy, airline, railway, hospital or booking platform. Nothing produced here is a document issued by any of them.

What this site is

A preparation and reference tool. Each answer prints the official source it came from and the date that source was last checked. Where the rules do not give an answer, the site says so rather than guessing. The cards are written to be shown to another person — a driver, a hotel desk, a kitchen — and the Chinese on them is the part that person reads.

What it is not

• Not immigration or legal advice. A visa or entry answer is a reading of published rules, not permission to board and not a guarantee of admission. The officer at the border decides.
• Not medical advice. The medical pages do not diagnose, prescribe or replace a doctor or pharmacist, and a card prepared here is not a medical record.
• Not a customs ruling. What the red and green channels ask of you is decided by the customs officer, not by this site.
• Not a booking service. The site does not sell tickets, reserve rooms or arrange transport, and it does not take payments.

In an emergency

Call the emergency services. Police 110, ambulance 120, fire 119. Do not wait for this site, and do not treat anything on it as a substitute for calling.

Rules change

Entry rules, ticket rules and prices change at short notice. The date beside each answer says how current it is; when an answer matters, check it against the official source the page links to before you rely on it. If you find something out of date, tell us and it will be corrected.

Accounts

You may use the site without an account. If you create one, give an email address you can receive mail at, keep access to that mailbox, and do not share the account. You are responsible for what is done through it. You can delete it from the account page at any time. What is kept in your browser is described in the Privacy Policy.

What you may do with it

Read it, print the cards, and share them with the people on your trip. Do not resell it, republish it in bulk, scrape it with automated requests, work around the rate limits, or present its output as a decision of a government or of any authority. Do not use it for anything unlawful.

Links to other sites

Official sources, map links and app links lead to sites we do not run. What happens there is theirs, including their terms and their privacy policy.

Our content

The wording, the layout and the cards are ours. Quoted official material belongs to the authority that published it and is linked back to its source. The rights above do not stop you from quoting a passage with a link to this site.

No warranty, and the limit of our liability

The site is provided as it is, as a best effort, with no promise that it is complete, current or free of error or that it will be available at any particular moment. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from a decision made on what it says — a missed flight, a refused entry, a mistranslated sentence, a delay. Nothing in these terms limits a liability that the law does not allow to be limited.

Changes to these terms

When what the site offers changes, these terms change with it and the date at the top moves. Continuing to use the site after a change means the new version applies.
