1.1 Veriquality Inspection Service Co., Limited (“the Company”) agrees to provide its Services, and the Client agrees to accept the services according to the Terms and Conditions set forth herein.

1.2 The Company retains all rights (including, but not limited to, copyright) to any reports, checklists, or other materials it produces.

2. PROVISION OF SERVICES

2.1 The Client must provide the Company with the standards and specifications that the goods to be inspected and tested must meet. If the Client fails to do so, the Company may use its own standards and checkpoints based on technical, operational, and financial considerations. The Client agrees not to dispute or challenge these choices.

2.2 The inspection report only applies to the randomly sampled lot. The Company will not be liable for any facts not present in the sampled lot.

2.3 The Company will strive to minimize inspection fees, considering the workload and travel costs. Upon request, the Company will provide a quotation once all necessary information is available.

3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE CLIENT

3.1 The Client must provide sufficient information, instructions, and documents at least 2 business days before the desired inspection date. Failure to do so will exempt the Company from responsibility for any inaccuracies or incompleteness in the report.

3.2 If the Client cancels the inspection after the inspectors have been dispatched, or if the inspection is suspended due to inaccurate or incomplete information (such as the production status not meeting requirements) or other issues caused by the Client or the manufacturer, the Client agrees to pay half of the inspection fee and full travel costs as the Abortive Inspection Fee. The Client may seek reimbursement from the manufacturer or supplier, including deducting the amount from their payment to them.

3.3 If the information provided by the Client is insufficient or misleading, and additional time or costs are incurred as a result, the Company reserves the right to charge for the extra workload and associated costs.

3.4 Reports and certificates issued by the Company reflect the situation at the time and location of the service. The Client acknowledges that these documents do not absolve them or their manufacturers from any contractual obligations or legal liabilities.

3.5 The Client is responsible for ensuring all necessary safety and security measures are in place at work sites, installations, and during service performance. The Client should not rely on the Company for advice on these matters, whether requested or not.

3.6 The Client must inform the Company in advance of any known hazards or dangers related to orders, samples, or testing. This includes risks from radiation, toxic materials, environmental pollution, or explosives.

3.7 If requested by the Company, the Client must ensure the manufacturer agrees to the following:

  • Allow the Company’s employees to perform the required services on their premises.
  • Provide accurate and timely information, if needed, for the service.
  • Cooperate reasonably during the service.

4. FEES AND PAYMENTS

4.1 If no fee agreement is made at the time of the order, the Company’s standard rates (subject to change) will apply. The Client is also responsible for paying any taxes, fees, or levies.

4.2 For the first order, the Client must pay the fees upon receipt of the invoice before the service begins. For subsequent orders, the Client must pay within 7 business days of receiving the invoice or according to the mutually agreed payment terms. If payment is delayed, the Company may charge a finance fee of 0.05% of the overdue amount per day, starting from the due date.

4.3 The Client may not withhold or defer any payments to the Company due to any dispute or claim they may have against the Company.

4.4 If the Client declares bankruptcy, ceases operations, or fails to pay outstanding amounts, the Company has the right to suspend services and withhold reports, certificates, or other materials until payment is made.

5. LIABILITIES

5.1 The Company is neither an insurer nor a guarantor and disclaims liability in such roles. Clients seeking protection against loss or damage should obtain appropriate insurance.

5.2 The Company commits to exercising due care and skill in providing its services and accepts responsibility only when such care is not exercised.

5.3 The Company’s liability for claims related to loss, damage, or expenses due to breach of contract or failure to exercise due skill and care is limited to a total of five times the fee paid for the service related to the claim.

5.4 The Client must notify the Company in writing of any claims within three months from the date of service. If no claim is made within this time, the Company’s liability regarding the report or certificate will cease.

5.5 The Company reserves the right to re-inspect goods related to any claims.

5.6 The Company will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by delays or non-performance due to events beyond its control, including but not limited to war, civil unrest, prohibitions, strikes, or natural disasters.

5.7 The Client agrees to hold the Company, its employees, agents, or subcontractors harmless and indemnify them against any third-party claims for loss, damage, or expense arising from the services provided.

6. VALIDITY

6.1 The Terms and Conditions become effective when the Client and the Company sign or confirm them by email. They remain in effect when the Client submits a service request, and the Company accepts it.

6.2 All contracts for services provided by the Company, including these Terms and Conditions, are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Both parties agree to resolve any disputes amicably. If negotiations fail, the dispute will be brought before local courts in China.
