Cooperation Terms

3.1 Order Confirmation

A transaction is only considered confirmed upon Xiongtu's issuance of a pro forma invoice accepted in writing by the buyer, together with receipt of any agreed deposit. Verbal agreements, informal messages, or website inquiries alone do not constitute binding purchase orders.

3.2 Pricing & Currency

All quoted prices are in USD (United States Dollars) unless otherwise expressly stated in writing. Prices are valid for the period specified in the quotation. Market conditions, exchange rate fluctuations, or supply changes may cause price adjustments; buyers will be notified prior to order confirmation.

Standard payment terms are 30% deposit upon order confirmation and 70% balance prior to shipment, unless a separate written agreement specifies otherwise. Xiongtu accepts T/T (bank wire transfer) and other methods mutually agreed in writing. All bank fees on the buyer's side are borne by the buyer.
