Bomquote is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of the confidential information that you submit in connection with receiving a quote or ordering a product. The BOM Quote Ltd., Standard Mutual Confidentiality Agreement relating to the Bomquote manufacturing services and Website is located at http://www.bomquote.com/confidentiality-agreement/ and is incorporated by reference into this Agreement if it has been digitally acknowledged by Client, though it may be modified by Bomquote from time to time at our sole discretion.
As our customer, you are responsible for all orders placed and for ensuring that all information provided in a quotation is accurate and complete. The customer will not hold Bomquote responsible or liable for issues related to the design, including materials selected for production. The customer is responsible for all aspects of the design and the technical performance of parts and materials, regardless of whether they are single parts, parts combined into an assembly, or parts assembled into a fully finished goods product. The customer is responsible to do their own research and make design decisions to ensure that the design for their own goods are in compliance with government regulations regarding health and safety, CE, FCC, FDA, FMCSA, ISO, NSF, UL, and USP requirements, ingress protection (IP), strength, durability, flexibility, and flammability ratings, or other regulations either not mentioned or implied in the present or future. Customer assumes all liabilities associated with use of the parts in all contexts and geographic regions. The customer is responsible for all testing and approval prior to their use or sale of the parts. Design characteristics which are deemed by Bomquote to be the cause of post-molding part distortion, warp or sink, or failure of the product to meet some aspect of customer finished goods requirements, are the responsibility of the customer to correct through improved part and assembly design.
The customer is responsible for complying with all applicable U.S. laws or laws of whichever country and/or locality the parts provided by us are associated with, including the direct or indirect use of the part(s) and the ultimate destination. The customer also certifies that the 3D CAD or other data being submitted to Bomquote WILL NOT produce products that violate United States firearm laws or laws of any other international governments. Bomquote cannot be held responsible or liable for violations of United States firearms laws or laws of any other international governments that are the result of the manufacturing, delivery or use of any product that was a provided design by the customer.
A quotation or “quote” is valid for a period of 45 days from the date quoted, unless Bomquote informs a customer within this period, but prior to accepting customers order, that the quote is void. If the quote is voided, Bomquote reserves the right to issue a revised quote or decline to quote. It is the responsibility of the customer to alert Bomquote to all design changes that have been made after the quote has been offered. Acceptance of the order without such notification does not prevent Bomquote from changing the price for the order. It is at Bomquote's discretion whether to accept, re-quote, or decline an order with the design changes. If Bomquote deems necessary, the original quote will be voided and Bomquote will issue a new quote for the revised part design, or will decline to quote. Any feature such as inserted features, over-molding, insert-molding, texturing, text, or material not clearly identified in the customer’s original request for quote and not specifically stated on the quote, is not included in the quoted price. Furthermore, a part may be quoted with the assumption that design flaws that are not conducive to injection molding will be corrected prior to mold design. If moldability flaw(s) are present and identified during any time of processing the order, the customer will be informed. If the customer agrees, the design changes will be made, otherwise the order will be voided and prorated charges will be applicable. Bomquote may provide design change recommendations when the customer design is not conducive to industry standard or does not fit Bomquote's molding techniques. Unless otherwise explicitly stated in the quote, all quotes are Ex-Works Shenzhen China and all logistical and shipping costs will be paid by the customer and are not included in the quote. Customer agrees that any terms listed directly on our quote ("quote specific terms") will take priority over all other terms and conditions, notwithstanding, all terms and conditions listed herein that are not expressly overridden in the quote specific terms, are still fully applicable.
Once you have obtained a quote from us, you may accept such quote and submit an order requesting that we produce your desired product. Bomquote reserves the right to decline to produce any order for any reason. The total fees for each order will include all applicable taxes unless specifically stated. Shipping terms will be as listed in the quotation, and if shipping services are requested, applicable shipping charges will be listed in the quotation. To submit an order, you must pay all fees either (i) in advance or (ii) pursuant to such credit terms as pre-approved by Bomquote. Once you receive an electronic or other confirmation of your order, such order is binding on both you and Bomquote and may not be cancelled except by mutual agreement.
All tooling is based on the customer-supplied 3D CAD data which supersedes any conflict with 2D dimensional or geometric data. First Article quality reports on an initial sample for the customer indicated critical dimensions are provided at no charge. Full dimensional layouts, CMM reports, or a higher number of samples will be quoted as needed. If any products that you order require tooling, such tooling will only be used to make parts for the original customer or their authorized agent during the period of tooling life. Bomquote will provide adequate tooling for the quantity specified in the order. Unless otherwise agreed to by Bomquote in the order, such tooling will remain the proprietary property of Bomquote and any costs related to such tooling will be your responsibility. After two years of inactivity, the mold(s) will be discarded unless the customer initiates financial arrangements with Bomquote to protect and store the mold beyond the two-year period of inactivity. Future orders submitted for similar products may require new tooling and related costs.
Bomquote will modify tooling to support design changes at a quoted rate. Bomquote reserves the right to determine the suitability of the mold modification vs. making a new mold and the customer will be quoted a change fee based on our determination. A set-up fee, based on the injection machine size required, is applied for each part run or tool sampling resulting from a customer-driven design change to the mold. Changing or adding plastic resins or colors results in additional trialing and approval samples for which the customer will be quoted. Each color change during a parts run will incur a fee.
Prototype parts, whether manufactured by CNC or another process, are based on the customer-supplied 3D CAD data and will supersede any conflict with 2D dimensional or geometric data. Prototype CNC manufactured parts are milled from a single block or multiple blocks of molded resin and they can be used for form, fit, and function check in non-production products. However, they are not intended to be used as replacements for injection molded parts.
Bomquote shall not be held responsible for diverse conditions which prevent compliance with delivery of products to customers. If conditions arise which prevent compliance with delivery schedules, Bomquote will not be liable for any damage or penalty for delay in delivery, or for failure to give notice of delay. However, Bomquote will use all reasonable efforts to give notice of delays. Delays will not be grounds for cancellation. Delivery occurs Ex-Works on the actual shipping date, and title and the risk of loss transfer to you upon shipment or release of the load at our own dock. If customer decides to hire their own freight forwarder, customer must assume all risk of loss from the time Bomquote releases the load to the customer’s forwarder at our warehouse dock. Customer will assume all responsibility over all terms listed in their own chosen freight forwarder’s shipping paperwork. The customer indemnifies Bomquote for any claimed liabilities arising from any terms and conditions stated in their freight forwarder’s paperwork. Bomquote reserves the right to refuse to release any load to a customer’s chosen freight forwarder in China if we find they are not qualified to be placed on our own approved vendor list (“AVL”) or else we believe the freight forwarder places undue risk on Bomquote, for example, a risk that we may be forced to engage with China customs export officials upon load export or else get involved with loads that a customers forwarder transported which are impounded at the China border, for any reason.
Unless otherwise agreed to by both parties, all products produced and sold by Bomquote are warranted to conform with critical specifications as mutually agreed upon by the parties. In the event that, within three (3) business days of your receipt of the product, you shall determine that the product is not in conformity with such critical specifications, you may return such product to Bomquote for analysis. Upon receipt of your return, we will have fifteen (15) business days to complete our analysis of such product. If the product does not meet the agreed upon critical specifications, Bomquote shall, at our sole option, either (i) replace such product with a corresponding product that meets such critical specifications, or (ii) accept for return such product for credit on future purchases, or (iii) offer a refund. In all cases, the customer shall bear all shipping, transportation, and handling costs regarding warranty analysis and returns. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR INTENDED OR PARTICULAR PURPOSES, EACH OF WHICH IS HEREBY DISCLAIMED.
