Terms of Service
These terms govern the commercial relationship between NIUYUAN Metal ("Manufacturer") and our wholesale, distribution, and OEM/ODM partners ("Client").
General Provisions
NIUYUAN Metal specializes in B2B manufacturing. By placing an order, the Client acknowledges that they are purchasing products for commercial use, resale, or industrial application, not for personal consumer use.
These terms apply to all sales of Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Brass, and PVC tile trims and accessories. Any conflicting terms proposed by the Client in purchase orders are rejected unless expressly agreed to in writing by an authorized officer of NIUYUAN Metal.
Orders & Production Specifications
2.1 Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
As a wholesale manufacturer, we enforce strict MOQs to maintain production efficiency across our 8 production lines.
2.2 OEM/ODM Customization
For customized solutions (e.g., specific alloy 6063-T5 adjustments, custom punching patterns, or exclusive PVD colors), the Client must approve technical drawings and pre-production samples. Once the sample is approved, mass production will adhere strictly to the approved sample's specifications within standard industrial tolerances.
Payment & Pricing
Standard Payment Terms
30% Deposit via T/T required to initiate production. Remaining 70% balance due prior to shipment or against copy of B/L (for established accounts).
Price Validity
Quotes are valid for 14 days due to fluctuations in raw material costs (Aluminum/Copper ingots).
Quality Assurance & Inspection
ISO 9001 & ISO 2859 Standards
Our factory operates under ISO 9001. We fully support and facilitate third-party inspections (SGS, TUV, BV) prior to shipment.
Defect Tolerance: Per ISO 2859-1 (AQL 2.5 for major, 4.0 for minor). Surface finishes (anodizing, polishing) are inspected from a distance of 1 meter under natural light.
Claims Policy: Any quality claims must be submitted within 30 days of cargo arrival at the destination port, accompanied by clear photos and batch numbers.
Inspection Scope
- Dimensions & Straightness
- Coating Thickness
- Color Consistency (Delta E)
- Packaging Integrity
Shipping & Logistics
FOB Terms
Unless otherwise agreed, terms are FOB Foshan/Guangzhou/Shenzhen. Risk of loss passes to the Client upon delivery to the carrier or at the named port of shipment.
Export Packaging
NIUYUAN provides standard export packaging (PE film + Carton + Wooden Pallet/Crate) suitable for sea freight. Special packaging requirements for retail (e.g., individual shrink wrap with barcodes) must be specified during the quotation phase.
Intellectual Property
Protection of OEM Designs
For OEM orders where the Client provides designs, molds, or tooling:
- NIUYUAN Metal agrees to keep such designs strictly confidential and will not sell, distribute, or display these specific products to third parties without permission.
- The Client warrants that their designs do not infringe upon any third-party intellectual property rights. The Client agrees to indemnify NIUYUAN Metal against any claims arising from the production of such designs.
Force Majeure
NIUYUAN Metal shall not be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials. In such events, the delivery schedule shall be extended by a period of time equal to the time lost because of such delay.
