Terms of sale

Quotations

Prices are quoted in USD, FOB Shanghai or Ningbo unless stated otherwise, and are valid for 30 days. Prices exclude freight, insurance, duty and local taxes unless a DDP term is agreed in writing.

Orders and payment

Production begins after a written purchase order and deposit. Standard terms are 30% deposit and 70% against the bill of lading copy. Letters of credit at sight are accepted above 20,000 metres. Bank charges outside China are for the buyer's account.

Tolerances

Fabric is supplied to the following industry tolerances unless the order confirms otherwise: weight ±5%, usable width ±2 cm, roll length −2% / +5%, and shipped quantity ±3%. Colour is matched to the approved lab dip under standard illuminant D65, with a tolerance of ΔE ≤ 1.0.

Inspection and claims

Every roll is inspected on a four-point system before shipment and the report is supplied with the documents. Claims for defects visible on arrival must be raised within 14 days of container arrival with roll numbers and photographs. Verified defects above 1.5% of shipped metres are credited or replaced. Cut or washed fabric cannot be claimed.

Delivery

Lead times run from lab dip approval, not from order date. Delays caused by late shade approval, incomplete shipping instructions or force majeure extend the delivery date accordingly.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. Disputes are referred to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) in Shanghai. Questions: sales@yunhongtex.com.
