OEM/ODM Manufacturing Terms

3.1 Custom Design & Tooling

When engaging in OEM/ODM projects, the client is responsible for providing accurate technical drawings, specifications, and performance requirements. Yandi Aluminum will develop molds and tooling based on client-provided or mutually approved designs. Tooling costs, lead times, and minimum order quantities will be specified in the project quotation.

3.2 Mold Ownership & Usage

Molds and dies developed exclusively for a client's proprietary design remain the intellectual property of the client upon full payment of tooling fees, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Yandi Aluminum retains physical custody of molds for production purposes. Molds may not be transferred to third-party manufacturers without prior written consent from Yandi Aluminum.

3.3 Prototype Approval

For custom profiles, a prototype or sample approval process is required before mass production commences. The client must provide written approval of prototypes within the agreed timeline. Yandi Aluminum is not liable for production delays resulting from delayed client approvals.

3.4 Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ)

Minimum order quantities apply to all custom OEM/ODM profiles and will be stated in individual quotations. Standard catalog profiles may have separate MOQ requirements. We reserve the right to decline orders that do not meet stated minimums.

3.5 Client-Supplied Materials

If clients supply raw materials or components for processing, they bear responsibility for ensuring material quality and compliance. Yandi Aluminum will not be liable for defects arising from client-supplied materials that do not meet required specifications.

Orders, Pricing & Payment

4.1 Order Confirmation

All orders are subject to written confirmation by Yandi Aluminum. An order is only binding upon issuance of a signed sales contract or proforma invoice confirmed by both parties. Verbal agreements, email inquiries, or website form submissions alone do not constitute a binding order.

4.2 Pricing

All quoted prices are valid for the period specified in the quotation. Prices are subject to change based on fluctuations in aluminum ingot market prices (LME), energy costs, and raw material availability. Yandi Aluminum reserves the right to revise pricing before order confirmation if market conditions change materially. Confirmed orders at agreed prices will not be subject to price revision unless explicitly agreed in writing.

4.3 Payment Terms

Payment terms are specified in individual sales contracts. Standard terms typically include a deposit upon order confirmation with the balance payable before shipment or against shipping documents, as agreed. Accepted payment methods include T/T (Telegraphic Transfer), L/C (Letter of Credit), and other methods as mutually agreed. All payments must be made in the currency specified in the contract.

4.4 Order Cancellation

Orders may not be cancelled after production has commenced without written agreement from Yandi Aluminum. Cancellation of confirmed orders may result in forfeiture of deposits and recovery of costs incurred, including tooling, raw materials, and production expenses already committed.

Delivery & Shipping

5.1 Lead Times

Production lead times are estimates provided in good faith and may vary based on order complexity, surface treatment requirements, current production schedules, and raw material availability. Yandi Aluminum will communicate any significant delays promptly. Estimated lead times do not constitute a guarantee of delivery date.

5.2 Incoterms & Risk Transfer

Trade terms (Incoterms 2020) governing delivery, risk transfer, and cost allocation will be specified in each sales contract. Common terms include EXW, FOB, CIF, and DAP. Risk of loss or damage transfers to the buyer at the point specified by the agreed Incoterms.

5.3 Partial Shipments

Partial shipments may be made with the buyer's consent. Each partial shipment may be invoiced and paid for separately as agreed in the contract.

5.4 Force Majeure

Yandi Aluminum shall not be liable for delays or failures in delivery caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government actions, port strikes, pandemic-related restrictions, raw material shortages, or other force majeure events. We will notify the client promptly of any such circumstances and work to minimize impact.

Quality Assurance & Inspection

6.1 Quality Standards

All products are manufactured in accordance with applicable Chinese national standards (GB/T) and agreed specifications. Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2008. Products are subject to whole-process quality control from raw material inspection through finished goods warehousing.

6.2 Pre-Shipment Inspection

Clients may request pre-shipment inspection by a mutually agreed third-party inspection agency at the client's cost. Inspection arrangements must be communicated at least 7 business days before the scheduled shipment date. Yandi Aluminum will cooperate fully with authorized inspection activities.

6.3 Claims & Defects

Any quality claims must be submitted in writing within 30 days of receipt of goods, accompanied by photographic evidence, inspection reports, and a detailed description of the alleged defect. Claims submitted after this period may not be accepted. Yandi Aluminum's liability for confirmed defects is limited to replacement of defective goods, credit toward future orders, or partial refund as mutually agreed -- not to exceed the invoice value of the affected goods.

6.4 Tolerance & Variation

Dimensional tolerances, surface finish variations, and color consistency are subject to the ranges specified in applicable standards or agreed specifications. Minor variations within accepted tolerances do not constitute defects.

The client indemnifies Yandi Aluminum against any IP infringement claims arising from client-provided designs.

7.3 Jointly Developed IP

Any intellectual property developed jointly by Yandi Aluminum and a client during an OEM/ODM project -- including new cross-section designs, technical innovations, or process improvements -- shall be subject to ownership terms agreed in writing prior to project commencement.
