Terms of sale.
These are the terms we quote on. A signed proforma invoice or a purchase contract replaces them where the two differ.
Quotations and orders
A quotation is an offer for 30 days. An order exists when we have received your written acceptance and the deposit, and when we have confirmed the lead time in writing. Carton size, loading figure and sample date are part of the quotation.
Payment
30% deposit with the order, 70% before shipment, by T/T unless agreed otherwise. Orders above USD 30,000 may be paid by L/C at sight. The deposit is not refundable once cutting has started on custom sizes or finishes.
Tooling and custom work
Standard sizes use existing tooling at no charge. A new size, a new foil or a new drawing may need a tooling charge, quoted before the order. Tooling remains ours unless the quotation says it is transferred; you keep the right to the design.
Lead time
Production is 25–35 days after sample approval, not after the deposit, and not including Chinese public holidays. A delay caused by a change in the specification moves the date by the length of the change.
Inspection and claims
We inspect to AQL 2.5 before packing and send a photo report. You may appoint a third-party inspector at your cost. A claim for visible defects must reach us within 15 days of container arrival, with photographs and the carton code. We replace or credit, at your choice, for defects that are ours.
Delivery and risk
Risk passes at the point named in the quotation — on board the vessel for FOB, at our door for EXW. Insurance is the buyer's unless we quote CIF.
What we do not sell
We do not sell products carrying another company's brand without written authorisation, and we do not reproduce printed artwork or patented mechanisms supplied by a buyer without their warranty that they have the right to use it.
Quotations are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise. Prices are FOB Ningbo or Shanghai unless the quotation says otherwise.
