3. Nature of the Website & Services

Chinese Purifier opera como una plataforma de información comercial B2B y facilitación de adquisiciones especializada en equipos de purificación de agua y productos relacionados para mercados de exportación. Es importante que los Usuarios comprendan lo siguiente:

Information Platform: The Website provides product information, technical specifications, market guidance, and sourcing assistance to support commercial procurement decisions. It does not constitute a retail storefront or consumer marketplace.
No Automatic Binding Contracts: Submitting an inquiry or request for quotation through the Website does not constitute a binding purchase order or contract. All commercial transactions require separate, explicit written agreement between the parties.
Facilitation Role: Where we introduce Users to manufacturers, suppliers, or logistics partners, we act as a facilitating intermediary only. The resulting commercial relationship is directly between the User and the relevant third party.
Independent Assessment: All product suitability assessments, regulatory compliance verifications, and technical evaluations remain the sole responsibility of the purchasing entity. We strongly recommend independent due diligence prior to placing any orders.

4. Accuracy of Information & Disclaimers

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that all content published on this Website is accurate, current, and not misleading. However, Users acknowledge and accept the following limitations:

No Warranty of Accuracy: Product specifications, pricing indications, lead times, and availability information are provided for reference purposes only and are subject to change without notice. Confirmed details must always be obtained directly from the relevant supplier or through a formal written quotation.
Regulatory Compliance: Water purification products are subject to varying regulatory requirements across different jurisdictions (including NSF/ANSI standards in the US, CE marking in the EU, and applicable standards in other markets). Users are solely responsible for ensuring that any products sourced through this Website comply with all applicable standards and regulations in their target market.
Market & Pricing Information: Any market analysis, pricing guidance, or trade statistics published on this Website are provided for general informational purposes and do not constitute professional trade advisory services.
Third-Party Content: Where the Website references or links to third-party product listings, certifications, or industry resources, we make no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such third-party information.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All intellectual property on this Website is protected under applicable copyright, trademark, and related laws:

Ownership: All original content on this Website — including but not limited to product descriptions, technical articles, comparison guides, photographs, graphics, data compilations, and website design elements — is the exclusive intellectual property of Chinese Purifier or its licensed content providers.
Permitted Business Use: You may access and review Website content for internal procurement research, supplier evaluation, and related commercial purposes. You may save or print limited extracts for internal business use only.
Prohibited Uses: You may not reproduce, republish, redistribute, sub-license, sell, or create derivative works from any Website content without our prior written consent. Systematic scraping, automated data extraction, or bulk downloading of content is strictly prohibited.
Trade Marks: The “Chinese Purifier” name, logo, and associated branding are proprietary trade marks. No license to use these marks is granted by these Terms or by your use of the Website.
User-Submitted Content: By submitting inquiry content, technical specifications, or other materials to us, you grant Chinese Purifier a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use such content solely for the purpose of processing your inquiry and facilitating the requested services.

6. Confidentiality of Business Communications

We recognize that B2B trade communications often involve commercially sensitive information. The following principles govern our handling of confidential business information:

Any business information you share with us in the course of an inquiry — including target pricing, procurement volumes, product requirements, or market strategy — will be treated as confidential and used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or facilitating the requested introduction.
We will not disclose your specific inquiry details or business requirements to competing parties without your explicit consent.
Where a formal non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is required prior to sharing detailed technical specifications or proprietary product requirements, we are willing to execute such agreements on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us at business@chinesepurifier.com to request an NDA.
This confidentiality commitment does not apply to information that is already publicly available, independently known to us, or required to be disclosed by law.

7. Quotations, Orders & Commercial Terms

Any commercial transaction originating from use of this Website is subject to the following principles:

Quotation Validity: All written quotations issued by Chinese Purifier or introduced suppliers are valid only for the period stated therein. Price fluctuations in raw materials, freight costs, and currency exchange rates may affect pricing after quotation expiry.
Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ): Products available through this platform are supplied subject to manufacturer or supplier MOQ requirements, which will be clearly communicated during the quotation process.
Payment Terms: Payment terms (including advance payment percentages, letter of credit requirements, and balance payment conditions) are agreed in the formal sales contract and vary by supplier and order value.
Incoterms: All shipments are governed by the applicable Incoterms® as agreed in the written commercial contract. Users are responsible for understanding and agreeing to the risk transfer and cost allocation provisions of the applicable Incoterms rule.
Contract Formation: A binding commercial contract is formed only upon execution of a written purchase agreement, proforma invoice acceptance, or equivalent formal documentation — not upon submission of a website inquiry.
