We reserve the right to terminate services and pursue legal remedies for violations of the above.

6. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including but not limited to the NTK trademark, logos, product images, technical documentation, copy, page design, and source code — is owned by Handan Ouyun Auto Parts Co., Ltd. or its licensors and is protected by the Copyright Law and Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China and applicable international conventions. Without written permission, you may not copy, adapt, translate, publish, display, or use such content for any other commercial purpose. Third-party trademarks displayed on the Site (such as vehicle manufacturer brands and OE numbering systems) are the property of their respective owners and are used for fitment identification purposes only.

7. Product Information

We endeavor to ensure that the product information displayed on the Site (specifications, vehicle fitment, OE references, and interchange references) is accurate, but we make no express or implied warranty as to the absolute accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of such information. Product appearance, dimensions, and packaging may vary between production batches. Final specifications are subject to the contract or Proforma Invoice confirmed by both parties.

8. Inquiries and Quotations

An inquiry submitted through the Site does not constitute an offer, and we may accept or decline any inquiry at our sole discretion. Our quotations are issued in the form of a Proforma Invoice or written confirmation and are valid for the period stated therein; if no validity period is stated, the quotation is valid for 30 calendar days by default. Whether a quotation is inclusive of tax, freight, or duties is as expressly stated in the quotation.

9. Order Confirmation

An order is concluded only upon written confirmation by both parties (including by email or electronic signature). We reserve the right to decline or cancel orders based on credit assessment, inventory, production planning, or compliance review. Once confirmed, an order may not be modified or cancelled unilaterally without the written consent of both parties.

10. Prices and Payment

Prices are as confirmed in the order, in the currency and amount stated. Payment methods, credit terms, and advance payment ratios follow the Proforma Invoice. If payment is not made when due, we may: (1) suspend further shipments; (2) charge liquidated damages for late payment (0.05% of the unpaid amount per day); and (3) take other remedies permitted by law.

11. International Trade Terms

Trade terms are governed by Incoterms® 2020 as in force at the time of contracting. Unless otherwise agreed, export orders default to FOB (Free On Board) at Tianjin Port or Qingdao Port; the buyer bears destination-port customs clearance, duties, and delivery costs.

12. Transportation and Delivery

The mode of transportation (sea, air, rail, or courier) follows the Proforma Invoice. Delivery periods run from receipt of the advance payment or letter of credit; estimated delivery periods are for reference only and do not constitute a guarantee. Delays caused by force majeure do not constitute breach.

13. Inspection and Acceptance

Upon receipt of the goods, you shall inspect their appearance, quantity, and specifications within 7 calendar days. Any non-conformity must be notified to us in writing within that period, together with unpacking photographs and the packing list; failure to notify within the period constitutes acceptance. The inspection period for latent defects is 30 calendar days from discovery and in no event more than 12 months after delivery.

14. Returns and Exchanges

For returns and exchanges caused by us (wrong shipment, shortage, or quality issues), freight and re-shipment costs are borne by us. For returns caused by you (ordering errors, specification mismatches, or vehicle fitment mismatches), our prior written consent is required and returned goods must be unused and in original packaging; customized products are not eligible for return.

15. Quality Warranty

NTK standard products carry a 12-month quality warranty from the date of shipment. The warranty covers product failures caused by material and manufacturing defects, and excludes: (1) improper installation; (2) use under loads or conditions beyond the intended design; (3) inadequate lubrication or maintenance; and (4) modification or disassembly by third parties. For qualifying claims within the warranty period, we will provide free replacement or a refund.

16. Export Control and Sanctions Compliance

Each party undertakes to comply with the export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations applicable to the transaction (including those of China and of the relevant jurisdictions of the transaction). You represent that your purchase is not part of any arrangement involving restricted end uses, end users, or destinations in violation of such laws. If a transaction is suspected of violating the foregoing, or if you fail to provide the required end-user and end-use certification upon request, we may lawfully decline or suspend the inquiry, quotation, production, or shipment, and such measures shall not constitute breach on our part.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or punitive damages (including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of goodwill, business interruption, and loss of data). Notwithstanding the cause of action, our aggregate liability for any dispute under an order is limited to the amount you actually paid to us for that order.

18. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, damages, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, misuse of the Site, or infringement of third-party rights.

19. Force Majeure

Where performance of obligations under these Terms is prevented or delayed by force majeure (including but not limited to earthquakes, floods, typhoons, fires, epidemics, wars, armed conflicts, strikes, government actions, severe shortages of energy or raw materials, and perils of the sea), the affected party shall be relieved of liability in whole or in part upon timely notice to the other party.

20. Governing Law

The formation, validity, interpretation, and performance of these Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (excluding its conflict-of-laws rules). Provisions concerning international trade terms are governed by Incoterms 2020; provisions concerning letters of credit are governed by UCP 600.

21. Dispute Resolution

The award shall be final and binding on both parties. This provision does not affect the application of mandatory consumer protection laws.
