Terms and Conditions of Sale

Important Notice: Before accessing or browsing this website, submitting an inquiry or order, or accepting any products or services provided by us, please read these Terms and Conditions of Sale (this “Agreement“) carefully. By placing an order via this website, paying a deposit, or confirming our quotation/invoice, you (“Buyer,” “Customer,” or “you“) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and unconditionally agreed to be bound by all terms herein. This Agreement constitutes a legally binding contract between you and [Your Full Company Name] (“Seller,” “we,” or “us“). If you do not agree to any part of this Agreement, please refrain from conducting any transaction.

1. General Provisions, Definitions, and Scope

1.1 Scope of Application. This Agreement applies to all transactions where the Seller sells anti-collision bollards, rising bollards, traffic barriers, safety fences, and their accessories or control systems (collectively, the “Products“) to global commercial customers via its independent website (https://qxlbollards.com) and affiliated sales channels.

1.2 Definitions.

“Website” refers to the online platform operated by the Seller.
“Order” means a purchase request specifying product specifications, quantities, and prices submitted by the Buyer via website forms, email, or other written means.
“B2B Transaction“: Both parties acknowledge that transactions on this Website are Business-to-Business in nature. The Buyer acts as a distributor, integrator, contractor, or end-user enterprise, not as a private consumer.

1.3 Incorporation. This Agreement shall be read in conjunction with the Privacy Policy published on the Website. For custom products, technical drawings, specifications, and commercial invoices confirmed by both parties shall supplement this Agreement.

2. Products, Standards, and Intellectual Property

2.1 Product Range. Includes but is not limited to fixed anti-collision bollards, automatic/semi-automatic rising bollards, removable posts, embedded parts, control systems, and related security products.

2.2 Quality Standards and Definitions.

Basic Standards: Products conform to Chinese National Standards (GB) and basic industrial safety requirements.
Certification Levels: If a product page or quotation explicitly states compliance with EN 1317, PAS 68, IWA 14-1, ASTM, K-rating (K4/M30, K12/M50), or other international impact ratings, such certification is based on the Seller’s standard testing environment and standard construction drawings. Failure to achieve performance due to non-compliant installation by the Buyer does not constitute a product quality defect.
Custom Products: Production strictly follows mutually confirmed CAD drawings, 3D models, material reports (e.g., Q355B steel, 304 stainless steel), and technical parameters. Manufacturing tolerance is ±2mm. Appearance color shall be based on the confirmed color sample; reasonable color deviation is permitted.

2.3 Intellectual Property (IP).

The Seller retains all intellectual property rights (patents, trademarks, copyrights, know-how, designs, including all CAD drawings and installation guides) related to the Products and the Website. Without prior written authorization from the Seller, the Buyer shall not copy, reverse engineer, disclose to third parties, or use such IP for any purpose beyond this Agreement.
Customization requirements provided by the Buyer to the Seller are deemed to grant the Seller a license to use such information solely for the purpose of fulfilling this Agreement.

3. Orders, Quotations, and Payment

3.1 Order Formation. Submission of an order or inquiry by the Buyer constitutes a purchase offer only. A legally binding contract is formed only upon the Seller’s written acceptance (via email or stamped order confirmation).

3.2 Quotation Validity. Quotations provided by the Seller are valid for 15 natural days from the date of issuance. Prices are subject to reconfirmation thereafter.

3.3 Deposits and Payment.

Standard Products: The Buyer shall pay 30%-50% of the total contract amount as a deposit upon order confirmation. Production will commence accordingly. The balance must be settled before shipment.
Custom/Mold-opening Products: Due to the specificity of non-standard products, the Buyer shall pay a non-refundable deposit of no less than 50% of the total price to initiate production and mold fabrication.
Payment Methods: T/T (Wire Transfer) is the primary method. Letter of Credit (L/C) is accepted only for orders exceeding USD $50,000. PayPal/Credit Card is restricted to sample or small orders (≤ USD $5,000); associated transaction fees shall be borne by the Buyer.

3.4 Pricing and Taxes. Prices are based on raw material costs and exchange rates at the time of signing and are quoted on an EXW [Factory Location] or FOB [Port of Shipment] basis. Prices exclude international freight, insurance, import duties, VAT/GST, and destination customs clearance fees, all of which shall be borne by the Buyer.

4. Delivery, Risk, and Title Transfer

4.1 Trade Terms. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, all transactions default to EXW (Ex Works) or FOB (Free On Board) under Incoterms® 2020.

4.2 Risk Transfer. The risk of loss or damage to the Products passes permanently to the Buyer upon delivery to the first carrier (or placement at the Buyer’s designated location) by the Seller.

4.3 Retention of Title. Ownership of the Products remains with the Seller until the Buyer has paid all sums due under the contract and related charges in full.

4.4 Delivery Timeline. Stated delivery times are estimates, not guarantees. The Seller shall not be liable for delays caused by raw material procurement, production scheduling, international logistics, customs inspection, Force Majeure, or other factors beyond its reasonable control, but shall notify the Buyer promptly.

5. Packaging, Shipping, and Acceptance (Critical Clause)

5.1 Packaging. Export-standard, fumigation-free wooden crates/pallets suitable for long-distance sea/land transport are used, with internal shock-proof and rust-proof materials. Packaging meets international standards but does not guarantee complete prevention of minor paint abrasion or surface rust caused by transit vibration or humidity; such occurrences do not constitute quality defects and can typically be remedied on-site.

5.2 Acceptance and the “72-Hour Rule”.

The Buyer or its agent shall inspect the outer packaging and quantity immediately upon delivery in the presence of the carrier.
Severe Outer Damage / Shortage: Must be clearly noted on the carrier’s receipt (e.g., Bill of Lading) at the time of delivery. The Buyer must file a written claim with the carrier within 48 hours and notify the Seller via email with photos and the annotated receipt within 72 hours. Failure to follow this notification procedure constitutes deemed acceptance of the goods in good condition.
Concealed Damage / Performance Issues: Must be notified to the Seller in writing within 7 business days of discovery, accompanied by detailed evidence.

5.3 Performance Verification. If the Buyer disputes whether the Product meets the agreed impact rating, the Buyer must provide an official test report from an internationally recognized independent third-party laboratory (e.g., SGS, TÜV, ASTM-accredited lab) proving failure under conditions strictly adhering to the Seller’s standard installation drawings. Only then will the Seller assume liability.

6. Installation, Usage, and Disclaimers (Core Clause)

6.1 Professional Installation. The Seller strongly recommends installation by trained professionals or construction teams guided by the Seller. If the Buyer opts for self-installation, it warrants that it possesses the requisite qualifications.

6.2 Foundation Construction Disclaimer. The claimed impact rating is entirely dependent on compliant foundation construction. The Buyer must strictly adhere to the certified foundation drawings provided for the specific model, including but not limited to pit dimensions, rebar specifications, concrete grade (e.g., C30/C35), curing periods, and drainage provisions.

The Seller explicitly disclaims all warranties and liability for any tilting, breakage, failure of the Products, or any resulting personal injury or property damage arising from the Buyer’s failure to follow the drawings (e.g., insufficient concrete strength, inadequate depth, missing rebar, improper drainage).

6.3 Performance Prerequisites and Limitations. Stated impact ratings (e.g., “Withstands impact of a 7.5-ton truck at 80 km/h”) are valid only if: (a) installed strictly per drawings; (b) subjected to a single impact under standard test conditions; and (c) the impact energy does not exceed the design rating. Damage from repeated impacts, overload impacts, malicious destruction, or use for non-traffic safety purposes (e.g., military defense) is excluded from any warranty coverage.

7. Limited Warranty

7.1 Warranty Period (commencing from the date of factory dispatch):

Steel structure columns and embedded parts: 24 months.
Hydraulic systems, motors, electrical control boxes: 12 months.
Surface treatment (coating, galvanizing): 12 months (excluding transport wear, chemical corrosion, or scratches).

7.2 Coverage. The warranty covers functional failures of the Product itself arising from defects in materials or workmanship under normal installation, use, and maintenance.

7.3 Exclusions. The warranty does NOT cover (including but not limited to):

Improper installation or failure to follow drawings (Clause 6).

Power surges, water ingress, vandalism, traffic accidents, or terrorist attacks.
Normal wear and tear, rust, or cosmetic imperfections.
Damage caused by Force Majeure (e.g., earthquakes, floods, war).

7.4 Warranty Process. Buyer submits written description and evidence of defect → Seller determines eligibility → Seller provides replacement parts and remote technical guidance. All costs for travel, labor, dismantling, reinstallation, and local transport shall be borne by the Buyer.

8. Returns, Refunds, and After-Sales

8.1 Return Policy. Due to the customized nature and installation specificity of the Products, returns, exchanges, or refunds are generally not accepted except in cases covered by the warranty in Clause 7 or if the Seller ships incorrect goods.

8.2 Authorized Returns. If a return is warranted, the Buyer must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number from the Seller prior to shipping. Returned Products must be unused, uninstalled, and in original packaging. Round-trip freight and related costs shall be borne by the responsible party.

9. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the seller or its affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, business interruption, data loss, costs of removal or reinstallation, third-party claims, or personal injury. The seller’s total cumulative liability under this agreement shall not exceed the total price paid by the buyer for the specific order giving rise to the claim.
