Project Terms

  • Before starting, clarify the product, style, quantity, specifications, revision rounds, inspection requirements, deliverable documents, and schedule.
  • If three matching quotations cannot be obtained, this is negotiated before starting—we do not lower the standard on our own.
  • Sample and production deviations must be listed and coordinated—they are not considered complete based solely on a supplier notification.
  • Small-batch quantities are confirmed based on the product, process, and supplier MOQ.
  • Sample production, product payment, materials, tooling, logistics, and third-party fees are charged separately.
  • A single project service fee is paid in full in advance; delivery time is agreed based on the actual product and scope.
  • Upgrading within the same product and original scope only requires paying the package difference: $500, $600, or $1,100.
  • Follow-up reorders, new products, or major changes are confirmed separately.
  • The $1,599 completion milestone does not include international shipping, customs clearance, arrival, or sales results.

Day-to-day communication is not charged per email, message, or call. Routine sample order follow-up is included in the monthly fee—the 3% does not apply.

No separate routine travel charges.

Billing Terms

  • The 3% applies to formal orders, small-batch trial orders, and reorders that VineLink actually executes and follows up on.
  • It is calculated on the mutually confirmed product purchase value, excluding freight, insurance, duties, separately listed taxes, third-party testing and certification fees, and VineLink service fees.
  • Separately listed design, tooling, and technical development fees are confirmed in advance.
  • A single order paid or shipped in batches is not charged the full-order service fee more than once.
  • Order changes or refunds are settled based on the confirmed effective purchase value.
  • When there is no order in a month, the 3% is zero; the monthly fee covers continuous support for that month.
  • Before starting, confirm products, suppliers, parallel projects, and schedule—we do not commit to unlimited projects or full-time on-site presence.
  • Work already covered by a single project package is not charged again.
  • Payment, renewal, cancellation, refund, and handover terms are agreed in writing before the service begins.

Additional Costs & Specialist Services

The following are quoted separately and only incurred after your confirmation.

  • Product, sample, material, tooling, and packaging production.
  • Third-party inspection, laboratory testing, grading, and certification.
  • SGS inspection or testing reports, IGI reports, RoHS-related testing and documentation.
  • Courier, freight, insurance, warehousing, duties, and customs clearance.
  • Independent design, CAD, engineering, and specialist technical work.

Communication with institutions, document transfer, and progress coordination within the agreed scope are not charged a separate communication fee.

Routine checks are not equivalent by default to piece-by-piece full inspection, laboratory testing, or third-party certification. Specialist work such as accompanying client visits to China, long-term on-site presence, independent full audits, large-scale full inspection or rework, and warehousing operations are scoped and quoted in advance. Routine order travel already included is not charged again.
