Governing Law: Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China and applicable PRC foreign trade regulations

These terms shall be binding unless otherwise explicitly agreed by formal written contracts signed and sealed by both parties, and shall supplement the General Terms of Payment and Quality Warranty General Terms and Conditions of the Seller.

1. Quotation and Contract Formation

All official quotations issued by GREX are non-binding offers subject to final confirmation. A valid sales contract shall be deemed formally concluded only after the Buyer confirms the order and pays the agreed advance payment, or both parties sign a formal written sales contract/PI. Any verbal commitment, informal message or preliminary communication shall not constitute valid contractual obligations of the Seller.

 

The product specifications, parameters, quantity and delivery scope shall be subject to the final confirmed written contract or official quotation. Any modification of order content shall take effect only with the Seller’s prior written approval.

2. Delivery Terms and Lead Time

The delivery date and production lead time specified in the contract or quotation are for reference only, calculated from the date of receipt of the Buyer’s valid advance payment and confirmed complete technical requirements. The Seller shall arrange production and shipment in accordance with the agreed timeline.

The Seller shall be exempted from delivery delay liability if the delay is caused by the Buyer’s reasons, including but not limited to delayed payment, delayed confirmation of drawings/technical parameters, temporary order modification, failure to provide required cooperation conditions, or other Buyer-side defaults.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the standard trade term adopted is FOB (Tianjing Port or Qingdao Port of China) or EXW (Seller’s Factory, China). The division of risks, transportation obligations and expenses shall comply with INCOTERMS latest version and PRC foreign trade rules.

3. Packaging and Marking

The Seller shall adopt standard export packaging suitable for long-distance transportation, loading and unloading, to ensure the intactness of products during normal transportation. Special packaging requirements proposed by the Buyer shall be subject to additional charges and shall be confirmed in writing in advance.


Product packaging, shipping marks and labels shall be made in accordance with international trade standards or the Buyer’s formal written requirements. The Seller shall not be liable for packaging damage caused by violent transportation, improper storage or external force damage after delivery.

4. Risk and Ownership Transfer

The risk of loss, damage or deterioration of the goods shall be transferred from the Seller to the Buyer upon completion of delivery in accordance with the agreed trade terms.

 

Ownership of the goods shall remain with GREX until the Buyer completes full payment of the contract amount in accordance with PRC Civil Code. The Buyer shall not resell, mortgage, pledge or dispose of the goods in any form before full payment settlement.

For hidden quality defects that cannot be discovered through preliminary acceptance, the Buyer may file a claim in accordance with the Seller’s Quality Warranty General Terms and Conditions within the valid warranty period. No objection or claim shall be accepted for defects caused by improper use, storage or modification by the Buyer after acceptance.

6. Order Cancellation and Modification

After the contract takes effect, the Buyer shall not unilaterally cancel the order, reduce the order quantity or modify product specifications without the Seller’s written consent. If the Buyer unilaterally terminates or changes the order in breach of contract, the Seller has the right to retain the received advance payment and claim compensation for actual losses incurred in production, material procurement and labor costs.
