Clear authority before local coordination begins.

Website use

These terms apply to use of www.cnbuyco.com and an initial sourcing discussion. The site is intended for business users assessing China sourcing coordination. A website page, inquiry, chat message or preliminary reply does not itself create an agency appointment, purchase order, payment authority, inspection appointment, shipment instruction, commercial guarantee or contract.

Use the site lawfully and do not present website information as a confirmed supplier recommendation, inspection result, shipping instruction or authority to act for another party.

Buyer authority remains explicit

Supplier appointment, product approval, purchase order issue, payment instruction, final inspection acceptance and shipment release remain buyer-led decisions unless a written engagement expressly states otherwise. Any authority granted to coordinate a project should be specific, written, time-bound where appropriate and capable of being verified with the buyer.

CN BuyCo does not assume authority to bind a buyer or supplier merely because a party has contacted the website or discussed a project.

Service scope

A written scope may cover supplier-information comparison, sample and order coordination, inspection planning, evidence collection, packing-record coordination and shipment handoff with a buyer-appointed provider. The scope must identify the product, service steps, decision owner, fee basis, deliverables, exclusions and exception process.

Product safety or compliance, legal advice, customs filing, insurance, carrier performance, payment processing, factory control, product warranty and final commercial terms are not assumed services unless a written agreement identifies the responsible party and exact scope.

Supplier information and project records

Supplier information, samples, photos, documents and inspection observations are reviewed against the agreed project brief. They are records for buyer review, not an unconditional guarantee of supplier identity, product performance, ongoing capacity, legal compliance or future delivery outcome.

Where an inspection is included, the written scope should define sample method, checkpoints, tolerances, evidence, acceptance owner and treatment of exceptions before the inspection takes place.

Payment, logistics and handoff

Do not make a payment, issue an order, release goods, change consignee details or approve shipment from a website page, chat instruction or unverified email. Payment recipient, order details, product acceptance, packing, freight appointment, insurance and export/import responsibilities must be confirmed through authorized project documents.

A written engagement or project document supersedes these website terms where they conflict and should identify the contracting party, applicable law, dispute process and commercial responsibilities.
