Terms and Conditions of Sale
Last updated: 2026-09-23
1. These terms
1.1 These Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms“) govern all quotations, orders, sales and supplies of goods by Ningbo Airmei Technology Co., Ltd. (“we“, “us“, “Airmei“), trading under the brand BSFL, to any business customer (“you“, “Customer“).
1.2 These Terms apply to business-to-business transactions only. You confirm that you are acting in the course of business and not as a consumer. Consumer protection legislation is not intended to apply.
1.3 By submitting an order, accepting a quotation, or completing checkout on our website, you accept these Terms. If you wish to use your own purchase terms, they apply only if we accept them in writing.
1.4 These Terms take precedence over any conflicting terms in your purchase order or correspondence, unless we agree otherwise in a signed document.
2. Quotations
2.1 Quotations given by us (through the website, email or WhatsApp) are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless stated otherwise. After that period, prices and availability may be re-quoted.
2.2 Quotations are based on the specifications, quantities, materials, artwork and packaging stated in them. Any change to those items may change the price, minimum quantity and lead time.
2.3 Prices in quotations are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies and, unless expressly stated, freight, insurance and packaging surcharges.
2.4 Website prices, MOQ figures and lead times are indicative and may be updated without notice. The binding figures are those in your accepted order confirmation.
3. Orders and acceptance
3.1 An order is only accepted when we issue a written Order Confirmation. We may decline an order, in whole or in part, including where the requested quantity is below the applicable MOQ or where we cannot verify the customer.
3.2 Applicable minimum order quantities:
| Channel | MOQ |
|---|---|
| Individual purchase (stock items) | 1 unit |
| Customized wholesale | 20 Stück |
| Contract manufacturing / OEM | 500 units |
| Large-volume program quotation | 3,000 units |
Some products have higher individual MOQs; the applicable MOQ is shown on the product page and in the Order Confirmation. MOQs may be mixed across SKUs only where we agree in writing.
3.3 You are responsible for the accuracy of all information in your order, including specifications, artwork, pantone colours, quantities, labelling and delivery address.
4. Prices, taxes and payment
4.1 All prices are in US dollars (USD) unless otherwise agreed. Currency conversion costs and bank charges are borne by the party incurring them.
4.2 Payment terms (default):
- 30% deposit on order confirmation, and
- 70% balance before shipment.
Small orders may be payable in full at order. We may require different terms for first orders, large orders or custom tooling.
4.3 Accepted payment methods:
- Bank transfer (T/T) — including payment into our WorldFirst (万里汇) cross-border collection account, or our corporate foreign-currency account. Bank charges are borne by the payer;
- PayPal, and card payments processed through PayPal, where enabled at checkout.
The full order value must be settled before shipment (see 4.2). Payment processing fees charged by the provider may be passed on or absorbed, as stated in your Order Confirmation.
4.4 We are not obliged to start production, release goods, or transfer title until cleared funds are received.
4.5 Overdue amounts may carry interest at 1% per month, or the maximum permitted by applicable law, and you are liable for reasonable recovery costs.
4.6 Where VAT, GST, sales tax or similar applies, it is added at the applicable rate. If you provide a valid VAT/tax identification number and reverse charge applies, we will invoice accordingly. You are responsible for the accuracy of the VAT number you supply.
5. Samples, tooling and dies
5.1 Sample charges, tooling costs and die-making (dieline) costs are payable as quoted and are stated in the Order Confirmation.
5.2 Unless agreed otherwise in writing, sample and tooling costs are non-refundable. Where we agree to credit tooling costs against a later mass-production order, the credit applies only to the agreed volume and within the agreed validity period.
5.3 Ownership of custom tooling, moulds and dies remains with us unless expressly transferred in writing. We will retain them for 24 months after the last production run, after which we may dispose of them.
5.4 Samples are provided for evaluation of workmanship, materials and finish. Reasonable variation in colour, texture and hand-feel between sampling and mass production is inherent in manufacturing, provided the agreed specification and tolerance are met.
6. Artwork, branding and intellectual property
6.1 If you supply logos, trademarks, artwork, designs or packaging files, you confirm that:
(a) you own them or have all necessary licences; (b) their use by us for your order does not infringe any third-party right; (c) all content is lawful and accurate.
6.2 You grant us a limited licence to use the supplied materials solely to manufacture, pack, label and ship your order, and for related quality and record-keeping purposes.
6.3 You indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from materials you supply, including third-party intellectual property claims.
6.4 We retain all rights in our own designs, tooling, technical drawings, formulations, know-how and processes. Nothing in these Terms transfers them to you.
6.5 We may show the finished goods in our portfolio, catalogue or case studies only with your prior written consent. Without consent, we will not publicly identify you as a customer or display your branded products. (Note: this clause does not restrict disclosure required by law.)
6.6 Where we produce goods under your brand, you are the brand owner and are responsible for the legality of the brand, product claims and labelling in the destination market.
7. Delivery, risk and title
7.1 Incoterms 2020 apply. Unless the Order Confirmation states otherwise, the default term is FOB Ningbo, China. EXW is available on request; CIF, CFR and DDP are available by separate quotation.
7.2 Indicative lead times (from the later of: receipt of deposit, and our approval of final artwork/samples):
| Stage | Indicative lead time |
|---|---|
| Sampling | 7–15 business days |
| Mass production — stock-hold items | 15–25 business days |
| Mass production — custom / OEM | 25–35 business days |
Lead times are estimates. Peak seasons (typically August to November) and Chinese public holidays (including Chinese New Year) may extend them. We will notify you of material delays.
7.3 Risk in the goods passes in accordance with the applicable Incoterm.
7.4 Title in the goods passes to you only when we have received payment in full.
7.5 Delivery dates are estimates and are not guaranteed, unless expressly agreed as a fixed date in the Order Confirmation. Time is not of the essence unless we agree so in writing.
7.6 We may make partial shipments. Each shipment is treated as a separate delivery and is payable accordingly.
7.7 If you fail to take delivery, collect the goods, or provide adequate shipping instructions, we may store the goods at your risk and cost and charge reasonable storage fees.
8. Inspection, acceptance and claims
8.1 You should inspect the goods promptly on arrival.
8.2 Claim period: you must notify us of any shortage, damage, defect or non-conformity within 14 days of receipt of the goods (or, for concealed defects not reasonably discoverable on inspection, within 14 days of discovery and in any event within 6 months of delivery). Notices must include photographs or video, quantity affected, order number and a description of the issue.
8.3 Claims made after these periods may be rejected, unless a longer period is mandatory under applicable law.
8.4 Where a valid claim is accepted, we may at our option repair, replace, or issue a credit note or refund for the affected goods. This is your exclusive remedy for non-conformity.
8.5 Acceptable quality: unless otherwise agreed, inspection follows AQL 2.5 (major defects) / 4.0 (minor defects) sampling. Documented pre-shipment inspection reports provided by you supersede inspection on arrival for defects within the agreed scope.
8.6 We are not liable for defects or losses caused by: your specifications, artwork or design; improper storage, handling or use; unauthorised modification; normal wear and tear; or compliance with your written instructions.
9. Custom and OEM orders
9.1 Custom, private-label and OEM orders are produced to your specification and are not returnable for non-quality reasons.
9.2 Once artwork is approved and production has started, an order cannot be cancelled or reduced in quantity. If you cancel after production starts, you remain liable for costs incurred, including materials, tooling, labour and unrecoverable logistics costs.
9.3 Colour and material tolerances: we match agreed colour references within commercially reasonable tolerance. Minor deviation that does not affect function or safety is not a defect.
10. Warranty
10.1 We warrant that goods will, at the time of shipment, conform to the agreed specification and be free from material defects in materials and workmanship.
10.2 The warranty period is 12 months from delivery, unless stated otherwise in the Order Confirmation.
10.3 The warranty does not cover consumable wear parts, damage caused by misuse, or goods modified without our written consent.
11. Limitation of liability
11.1 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
11.2 Subject to 11.1, our total liability arising out of or in connection with an order is limited to the value of that order (excluding taxes, duties and freight).
11.3 We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or third-party penalties — including penalties arising from your own product claims, labelling or market compliance.
11.4 We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control (see section 13).
11.5 Product safety and market compliance in the destination country remain your responsibility where goods are produced to your specification, brand and artwork.
11.6 We arrange product liability insurance for each production batch we ship, through China Pacific Insurance (CPIC / 太平洋保险). A copy of the certificate for the relevant batch can be provided on request. This insurance covers our own liability and the limits stated in the policy; it does not replace your own product liability, recall or market-compliance insurance in the destination market.
12. Compliance, export control and anti-bribery
12.1 You must comply with all applicable laws relating to import, export, sanctions, customs and product safety.
12.2 You confirm that neither you nor your directors, officers or owners are subject to trade sanctions, and that the goods will not be used for prohibited purposes or diverted to sanctioned destinations.
12.3 We may suspend or cancel an order, without liability, where performance would breach export control, sanctions, anti-money-laundering or anti-bribery laws, or where we cannot verify the end use or end user.
12.4 Each party complies with applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act 2010, and will not offer or accept improper payments in connection with these Terms.
13. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, epidemics, war, civil unrest, government action, export or import restrictions, strikes, transport disruption, power or network failure, or severe weather. The affected party will notify the other promptly. If the event continues for more than 60 days, either party may terminate the affected order without liability, and amounts already paid for undelivered goods will be refunded.
14. Confidentiality
14.1 Each party will keep the other’s confidential information (including designs, specifications, artwork, pricing, customer lists and business plans) confidential, use it only for the purposes of these Terms, and protect it with reasonable care.
14.2 These obligations do not apply to information that is public, lawfully obtained from a third party, or required to be disclosed by law or a competent authority.
14.3 Confidentiality obligations survive termination for 3 years, and indefinitely for trade secrets.
15. Termination
15.1 We may suspend or terminate an order immediately if you become insolvent, fail to pay when due, or materially breach these Terms, and we may require payment for work already performed.
15.2 Termination does not affect accrued rights, including the right to payment for goods delivered or produced to your specification.
16. Governing law and dispute resolution
16.1 These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) applies. (Confirmed 2026-09-23: CISG applies.)
16.2 The parties will first attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation for 30 days.
16.3 Failing resolution, any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be submitted to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) for arbitration in accordance with its arbitration rules in force at the time of the application. The seat of arbitration shall be Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. The tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator. The language of the arbitration shall be Chinese (English by written agreement of the parties). The award shall be final and binding on both parties. (Confirmed 2026-09-23: arbitration is elected – CIETAC, seat Ningbo, one arbitrator, language Chinese. Court litigation is mutually exclusive with arbitration and is therefore not provided for.)
16.4 The prevailing party may recover its reasonable costs of the dispute, including legal fees, arbitration fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in enforcing its rights.
17. General
17.1 If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
17.2 A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it.
17.3 You may not assign an order without our written consent. We may assign to an affiliate or successor.
17.4 Notices must be sent to the contact addresses in the Order Confirmation or published on our website, and are deemed received on the next business day after sending by email.
17.5 These Terms, together with the Order Confirmation and any signed agreement, constitute the entire agreement between us.
17.6 We may update these Terms. The version in force at the date of your Order Confirmation applies to that order.
