Terms & Conditions of Sale

These Terms and Conditions of Sale govern the sale of products by Hainan Medikament Trading Co., Ltd. to the Buyer, and apply to the exclusion of any other terms the Buyer seeks to impose. By placing an order, the Buyer accepts these Terms.

1. Definitions

"Seller" means the party issuing the quotation and selling the Products. "Buyer" means the party purchasing the Products. "Products" means the materials supplied by the Seller, including recombinant proteins, antigens and related reagents. "Contract" means the contract formed between the Seller and the Buyer for the supply of Products on these Terms. "Quotation" means the written quotation issued by the Seller. "CoA" means a Certificate of Analysis. Headings are for convenience only.

2. Quotations and orders

All Quotations are issued on request and are valid for the period stated on the Quotation. A Quotation is not an offer to sell. An order is accepted only when the Seller confirms it in writing, and the Seller may decline any order. The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that the Products ordered are suitable for the Buyer's intended application. Where a specification is agreed, it is the specification recorded on the Quotation or, if none, in the Product datasheet.

3. Prices and payment

Prices are as stated on the Quotation and are exclusive of taxes, duties and charges unless the Quotation states otherwise. Prices do not include shipping, insurance or import duties, all of which are the Buyer's responsibility unless the Quotation states otherwise. Payment terms are as stated on the Quotation. The Seller may require payment in advance or other security before dispatch where it considers this appropriate. The Buyer must bear any bank charges. If the Buyer fails to pay by the due date, the Seller may suspend further supply and charge interest at the rate stated on the Quotation or, where none is stated, at the rate permitted by applicable law.

4. Delivery and risk

Delivery terms are as stated on the Quotation. Any delivery period given is an estimate only and does not form part of the Contract. The Seller is not liable for delays beyond its reasonable control, including customs clearance, carrier delay or events of force majeure. Risk in the Products passes as stated on the Quotation or, where not stated, on delivery to the carrier. The Buyer must inspect the Products on arrival and follow the storage and handling instructions provided. Title passes to the Buyer on payment in full.

5. Documentation

The Seller provides documents as stated on the Quotation, which may include a Certificate of Analysis, a material safety data sheet and a Product datasheet. Certificates are issued for the lot supplied. The Buyer is responsible for determining whether the documentation provided is sufficient for the Buyer's own regulatory or internal requirements. Where the Buyer requires additional documentation, this must be requested in writing before dispatch.

6. Returns and claims

The Buyer must notify the Seller in writing of any claim that the Products do not conform to the agreed specification within the period stated on the Quotation or, where none is stated, within a reasonable time after delivery and in any event before the Products are used or altered. The Seller may require the return of the Products for examination. Products may not be returned without the Seller's prior written authorisation. The Seller's liability for non-conforming Products is limited to replacement or, at the Seller's option, refund of the price paid. These Terms do not limit any rights the Buyer has that cannot lawfully be excluded.

7. Research-use restriction

All Products are supplied for research use and for use in the development of in vitro diagnostic products only. Unless the Seller has expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the Products are not for use in humans or animals, are not for use in any diagnostic procedure, and must not be incorporated into a finished diagnostic product for sale without the Buyer first obtaining the regulatory approvals required in the relevant jurisdiction. The Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws governing the use, handling, storage and disposal of the Products.

8. Intellectual property

The Buyer acknowledges that the Products and any related information may be protected by intellectual property rights belonging to the Seller or to third parties. Nothing in the Contract transfers any such rights to the Buyer. The Buyer must not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reverse engineer or reproduce the Products in order to create competing products. The Buyer must not use the Seller's name, trade marks or documentation in marketing material without the Seller's prior written consent. Factual reference to the Seller as the supplier of the Products in scientific publications is permitted.

9. Liability

The Seller's total liability under the Contract is limited to the price of the Products giving rise to the claim. The Seller is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data or loss of business. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or

personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or any other liability which applicable

law does not permit to be excluded. Where a limitation in these Terms is held unenforceable in the Buyer's jurisdiction, that

limitation applies only to the extent permitted there. The Buyer is responsible for verifying that the Products are suitable for its intended use before use. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller gives no warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose, and the Buyer is responsible for qualifying the Products for its own application.

10. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms and the Contract are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply to the Contract and is expressly excluded. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute by negotiation. If it is not resolved within 30 days, either party may refer it to arbitration. The parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Hainan Province, People's Republic of China, and that submission is non-exclusive: the Seller may also bring proceedings in the Buyer's country of establishment where it considers this necessary to protect its rights. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.

11. Sanctions, export control and end use

The Buyer confirms that it is not subject to trade sanctions or export-control restrictions that would prohibit this transaction,

and that it is not acting on behalf of a restricted party. The Buyer confirms that the Products will not be used for any purpose

prohibited by applicable export-control or sanctions rules, and that it will obtain any import licence or permit required in its own

country. The Seller may refuse or cancel an order, and may suspend a shipment, where it considers this necessary to comply with

sanctions, export-control or customs requirements. The Buyer will provide an end-user and end-use statement on request.

12. Contact

Questions about these Terms, Quotations or orders should be directed to the contact details stated on the Quotation or on the contact page of this website. Notices must be sent in writing to those details and are deemed received as set out on the Quotation.
