PURCHASE ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Shanghai Zhansong Industrial Co., Ltd.
Revised: November 2025
These Purchase Order Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to all purchases made by Shanghai Zhansong Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Buyer”). Any vendor supplying goods or services (“Supplier”) in response to a Buyer purchase order agrees to be bound by the Terms set forth below.
1. Offer, Acceptance, and Contract Formation
Each purchase order issued by Buyer is a formal offer to acquire the goods or services described therein, subject exclusively to these Terms. Supplier’s written acknowledgement, commencement of production, shipment of goods, or performance of services constitutes full acceptance of the purchase order and forms a binding agreement.
Any Supplier proposal that adds, modifies, or contradicts these Terms is expressly rejected. Buyer’s acceptance of shipped goods or rendered services shall not be interpreted as acceptance of Supplier’s additional or conflicting terms, whether included in Supplier quotations, invoices, order confirmations, or digital/click-through documents.
2. Invoicing and Payment Requirements
Supplier shall issue invoices that:
- Reference the exact purchase order number.
- Match the quantities, unit prices, shipping terms, and descriptions stated on the purchase order.
- Are dated no earlier than the shipment date unless otherwise authorized.
Invoices must be submitted promptly upon shipment to the attention of Buyer’s Accounts Payable department. Payment timelines follow the terms printed on the purchase order unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3. Delivery, Shipping Terms, and Risk of Loss
Unless otherwise specified on the purchase order, deliveries shall follow the applicable Incoterms® 2020 rule designated on the order.
For goods shipped from outside China, the Incoterm specified on the order fully governs responsibilities related to freight, insurance, and customs clearance.
Supplier shall:
- Ensure goods arrive on or before the agreed delivery date, as time is material to performance.
- Immediately notify Buyer of any foreseeable delay, labor disruption, or logistics issue.
- Bear all risks associated with loss or damage to goods until delivery occurs under the designated Incoterm.
Buyer reserves the right to reject, return, or accept with reduced pricing any over-shipments or early shipments at Supplier’s expense.
4. Packaging, Identification, and Shipping Documents
Supplier must package all goods in a manner that ensures safe delivery and protects the goods from corrosion, contamination, and mechanical damage. Unless otherwise stated:
- No separate charges for packaging, crating, or handling are permitted.
- Each container must clearly display the purchase order number, destination address, and item identification.
- Each shipment must include a detailed packing list.
Failure to meet these requirements may result in delays in payment or rejection of the shipment.
5. Inspection, Rejection, and Remedies
All goods and services are subject to inspection and testing by Buyer at any reasonable time—both at Supplier’s premises and upon arrival at Buyer’s facility.
Payment by Buyer does not constitute acceptance. Buyer may reject any goods that are nonconforming in quantity, quality, workmanship, or documentation.
Upon rejection, Supplier shall promptly:
- Replace the goods at its own cost or
- Bear all transportation and handling expenses associated with returns.
Buyer may elect to retain defective or nonconforming items and reduce the purchase price accordingly.

7. Ownership of Work Product and Intellectual Property
All drawings, specifications, engineering documents, prototypes, software, and any other work product prepared or delivered under a purchase order are the sole property of Buyer unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Supplier shall not claim, register, reproduce, or use Buyer’s work product for any purpose other than fulfilling the purchase order.
8. Confidentiality

These obligations remain in force even after completion or termination of the purchase order.

- Without cause, at any time prior to shipment or service completion.
For cancellations without cause involving custom goods or services, Buyer will reimburse Supplier for verified, reasonable, non-recoverable costs incurred up to the cancellation date, not to exceed the purchase order value.

Supplier shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from all costs, damages, claims, or liabilities arising from:

- Injury or property damage related to supplied goods or services.
This obligation excludes damages proven to be caused solely by Buyer’s negligence.

Unless otherwise stated on the purchase order, Supplier is responsible for all taxes associated with the sale and delivery of goods or services, excluding Buyer’s income taxes.

24. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms and the related purchase order shall be governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply.
Disputes shall be resolved through negotiation, and if unresolved, submitted to a mutually agreed arbitration body in Shanghai.
25. Entire Agreement and Amendments
These Terms, together with the applicable purchase order, constitute the full and exclusive agreement between Buyer and Supplier.
No amendment or waiver is binding unless made in writing and signed by Buyer.
Failure of Buyer to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision.
