01
Service scope
Services may include supplier research, communication, factory visits, sample or production coordination, inspection support, warehouse handling, consolidation and logistics coordination. Only tasks expressly agreed in writing are included. LeaDing may rely on information supplied by the customer and relevant third parties.
02
Quotations and estimates
Supplier prices, exchange rates, freight, duties, taxes, insurance, schedules and availability can change. Unless a written offer states otherwise, figures and timelines are estimates rather than guarantees. Incoterms, payment stages, included work and quotation validity should be confirmed in the project documents.
03
Buyer specifications
The buyer is responsible for giving complete and accurate requirements, intended use, quantity, packaging, destination and market requirements; reviewing samples and documents; and making timely written approvals. Changes after approval can affect cost, quality, feasibility and timing.
04
Suppliers and carriers
Factories, laboratories, inspectors, warehouses, freight forwarders and carriers are independent third parties unless a written agreement expressly says otherwise. LeaDing can coordinate and report, but cannot promise that a third party will never delay, change circumstances, make an error or fail to perform.
05
Checks and inspections
A factory visit or inspection reports observations at an agreed time and within an agreed scope. Sampling cannot examine every unit and does not guarantee hidden performance, future reliability, authenticity, certification, legal compliance or the absence of all defects. Release remains the buyer's decision unless otherwise agreed.
06
Warehousing and shipping
Receiving, storage, consolidation, loading and transport are subject to agreed instructions, capacity and third-party terms. Transit time may be affected by customs, weather, port conditions, inspections, carrier changes and other events outside reasonable control. Risk transfer and insurance should be stated in the relevant contract or trade term.
