Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service set the rules that govern the relationship between you and Lixin Dedou Trading Co., Ltd. whenever you use the pages of this website. They apply whether you simply read the pages, send a message through the contact desk, request a sample or place a purchase order for goods.

By opening any page of this website you accept these terms in the form posted on the day you visit. If you do not accept them, please close the page and take no further action on the site. Sending an enquiry or placing an order counts as a clear acceptance of the version shown on that same day.

These terms are written in plain English on purpose. Where a word could carry a technical meaning, section three explains the sense that applies here so that a retail buyer, a freight clerk and a logistics partner all read the same document without a dictionary of fine legal phrases.

2. The Parties to These Terms

The first party is you, the visitor or buyer who reads and uses the website. The second party is the trading house, Lixin Dedou Trading Co., Ltd., whose registered address is No. 1105 Building 5 Jiaheyuan Residential Quarter, Chengguan Town, Lixin County, Bozhou - 236800, China (CN). The terms use the word house or we for the company that operates the trading programmes.

The developer house DeDouTrade maintains the technical pages of this website for the trading house. DeDouTrade does not act as a seller of the goods described here and is not a party to any supply contract you close with the house. Mention of the developer appears so that the authorship of the site is honest and clear.

Nothing in these terms makes DeDouTrade a guarantor of an order, a partner in a delivery or an owner of the trade files. Your trading counterparty is always the registered company and never a third party that only touches the pages.

3. Definitions and Plain Meaning

The following short list fixes the sense of the words most used across this document so there is no room for a cheap argument about a phrase.

Programme means a structured set of sourcing, order, inventory, quality, distribution or reporting tasks that the house runs for the retail trade. Consignment means a lot of goods that travels through the house lanes under one tag and one set of documents. A sample is a small lot sent for examination before a larger order is placed.

A quote is the written rate, quantity and delivery window the office issues in reply to your request. A purchase order, or PO for short, is the written file that fixes price, quantity and delivery for a real lot. The term lane describes a route and its agreed timing through which goods travel to a delivery point.

Business days mean Monday to Friday except for public holidays that the office follows in Lixin County. Working hours run from nine in the morning until six in the evening by the local standard time, with the shorter Saturday window named on the contact page.

4. About the Website

The website describes the trading house systems that Lixin Dedou Trading Co., Ltd. designs and runs. The pages give an honest picture of sourcing, purchase order, inventory, quality, distribution and data services across regional retail networks. The descriptive text is offered in good faith and is meant to guide rather than to pressure.

Nothing on the pages is a firm and immediate offer to sell a fixed quantity at a fixed price. A page that names a range or a season is an invitation to trade, and the exact deal is struck only when the office writes a quote and you accept it as described in section nine. This keeps a fast-moving list from turning into a promise the shelves cannot meet.

The house may refresh the pages, add a programme row or retire a description at any time. Retiring a page does not cancel an order that has already been placed under a standing file; it only changes what a future visitor sees.

5. Acceptable Use of the Pages

You may use the pages for genuine trade purposes, which means reading the services, asking questions, ordering samples and placing lawful orders. That permission is given freely and can be withdrawn if you use the site in a way that damages it or the house.

• You must not attempt to break into the office systems, read files that are not public or probe the site beyond ordinary browsing.
• You must not send a virus, a script that loads the pages without permission or a flood of messages meant to overload the desk.
• You must not copy large parts of the site text to compete against the house or to present the content as owned by another firm.
• You must not use the contact form to send junk mail, threats or content that is unlawful to send.

The developer keeps logs to spot exactly these kinds of behaviour. Where an abuse is serious enough to be a crime, the house may report the pattern to the relevant authority with the technical record that supports the report.

6. Contact Enquiries and the Mail Desk

The contact page carries a form that asks for a name, an email address, a subject and a message. When you fill it and press the send button, the script opens your own mail programme with a prepared letter to the office address office@dedoutrade.autos. Nothing in the form bypasses your mail service to store the message on the site itself.

Once the office receives your letter, it holds the correspondence in the query file and works to a fair response standard. Most requests about samples and quotes meet a reply within one working day, and a larger trading programme is acknowledged within two so that you always know the message is in hand.

You are answerable for the truth of the details you send. A wrong delivery location, an incorrect email or a mistaken quantity can slow a sample or delay a quote, and the house is not at fault when the delay follows a fault in your own letter.

7. Quotes and Sample Requests

A sample request names the product line and the quantity to hold in hand. The office writes back with the sample terms, usually covering the unit rate, the sample pack size and the delivery charge if any. A sample that carries a refundable deposit is booked once the deposit is noted, and the office explains how the deposit is returned when the goods come back or when a real order is placed.

A quote, as distinct from a sample, is the written rate for a full order lot. It carries a price, a currency, a quantity and a delivery window. A quote is valid for the period written on it, and after that period the office may re-quote because lanes and costs move with the season.

Samples and quotes are free of obligation until you accept them. Accepting a quote means placing the purchase order that section eight describes. Until that file exists no money moves and no lot is reserved.

8. Purchase Orders and Their Content

A purchase order is the written heartbeat of each trade. The office builds a PO that names the buyer, the delivery point, the product description, the unit price, the total quantity, the currency, the delivery window and the inspection duty that applies to the lot.

A purchase order may name the permitted tolerance on quantity, usually a small band either side of the stated figure. It may also say whether partial despatch is allowed and how the balance of an unshipped remainder is handled. Clear PO fields keep every lane honest and stop a dispute from growing in the gap between what was said and what was written.

If you ask for a change after the PO is open, the office records the change as a revised file. A change that moves the price, the quantity or the delivery date is confirmed in writing before it binds either side. A verbal wish that never reaches the file has no effect on the running PO.

9. Formation of a Supply Contract

A supply contract is formed only when three things line up: the house has issued a quote, you have sent a matching purchase order, and the house has written back to confirm the order in the file. Until that written confirmation lands, no delivery duty and no payment duty exists on either side.

The confirmation may rest on paper or on the message thread, provided it names the lot and the agreed terms. Where the house and a buyer exchange many orders, each confirmation stands alone unless the parties sign a frame agreement that binds a whole season of PO files.

By confirming an order you accept the sections of these terms that cover inspection, shipping, payment and remedies. No conflicting terms placed on your own order form have effect unless the house signs them separately, and a printed clause of yours that tries to override the confirmed PO does not prevail where the two documents disagree.

10. Inspection and Conformity

Goods are produced to the standard written on the PO and checked at the agreed inspection points. The house inspects at the factory line and again at the loading gate using the shared checklist so that a verdict reached early holds its value later in the journey.

You are welcome to join an inspection where the programme allows it. Where you stay away after notice, the house inspection record stands as the agreed measure of conformity for the lot. Where you nominate a third party inspector, their report becomes part of the same file.

If a lot fails inspection, the supplier corrects and the house re-inspects before despatch. A buyer does not carry the risk of a defect that the house agreed to check and clear, and equally the buyer cannot reject goods that match the agreed standard simply because the market moved after the order was placed.

11. Shipping, Delivery and Risk

The house packs each lot for the lane it must travel, choosing cartons and inner packing that hold firm in damp transit. Freight is coordinated under the terms agreed on the PO, and those terms fix the point at which risk passes from the house to the buyer.

Where the delivery term puts the risk on the house until arrival, the house answers for loss or damage in transit and re-ships or credits within the agreed claim window. Where the buyer takes carriage at an earlier named point, the house hands the lot over in good order and the carrier takes over the duty from that point onward.

Delivery windows are stated in good faith against lane history. A window is not a promise that no rain will ever slow the road, and section twenty explains how a genuine weather or transport event is handled without turning the house into a scapegoat for the sky.

12. Pricing, Taxes and Invoicing

Every price on a quote is given in a named currency and covers the goods on the stated commercial terms. Unless a quote says differently, the price does not include import duty, value added tax or a local sales tax that your own jurisdiction adds at arrival.

When a tax or duty is chargeable under your rule, it falls on you and is payable to the authority that collects it. The house invoices the price and any agreed add on charges that were written before the order, and it will not spring a hidden fee on a quoted lot.

An invoice is raised when the house confirms the order or when the agreed payment point arrives, whichever the PO states. Invoices carry a clear reference so your accounts team can match the paper to the delivery without a search.

13. Payment Terms

Payment terms are agreed in writing before the order opens. Common patterns include an advance deposit with the balance against documents, payment against the shipping copy, or the credit terms that a standing buyer has earned through a clean history.

A deposit books the lot and reserves the lane. If you pay a deposit and later cancel without cause, the deposit is applied to answer the cost already spent on your behalf, up to the amount the office can show it lost. If the house brings the order to a booked despatch and you refuse to take the goods without a lawful reason, the house may sell the lot to recover its outlay and account to you for any surplus.

Where payment falls late, the house may pause further shipments on the open file until the account is brought current. Interest on a genuinely late balance, where local law allows it, is charged at the lawful rate and named on the invoice.

14. Returns, Refunds and Cancellation

A return is accepted only where the goods fail the agreed standard or arrive damaged within the claim window. A change of mind after the lot is made is not a ground for a free return, because the house made the goods to your file and cannot resell a bespoke line without loss.

Where a return is accepted, the buyer must hold the goods in good order and make them available for collection. The house inspects the returned lot against the original standard and then replaces, repairs or credits the value according to the agreement written on the PO.

Refunds are returned through the same channel the payment came from where that is practical, and a credit note is the usual route where the file is expected to trade again. Cancellation of a lot that has already passed inspection and booking is not a right; it is a request that the house weighs against the cost it has already committed.

15. Warranty and Disclaimer

The house warrants that goods it ships match the agreed sample and the agreed standard at the point of handover, and that the title to the goods is clean when no other term says differently. That warranty is the real and bounded promise that sits under every programme.

Beyond that written promise, the website and the descriptions are supplied as is. The house does not warrant that a page will never error, that a forecast of demand will come true or that a picture on the site shows every seam of the true product. The moral line here is simple: trust the sample and the written file over any general sentence of good cheer.

Nothing in this section removes a right that the law of your place refuses to let a seller take away. Where a mandatory consumer law overrides a disclaimer, that law wins and the house obeys it to the letter.

16. Limitation of Liability

The house answers for loss that flows foreseeably from its own breach of the written terms. That answer covers the value at stake in the lot concerned and the reasonable costs of putting the matter right, and it does not stretch to a profit you hoped for in a distant market that you never told the house about.

Neither the trading house nor the developer DeDouTrade is liable for indirect loss, lost business opportunity, a trading loss on goods the buyer intended to resell at an unseen price or the knock on effect of a delay that a transport or weather event caused and that section twenty deals with fairly.

Where the law allows a cap, the upper bound of the house liability for any single programme is the invoiced value of the lot in dispute. A buyer who wants a wider cover can ask for it before the order, and the office will quote the insurance that sits behind that wider note.

17. Intellectual Property

The house owns or holds the rights to the text, the layout, the photographs, the drawings and the brand elements of this website. The developer DeDouTrade prepared that material for the house, and the trade name, the logo and the page design belong with the house for the purposes of this project.

You may read and share the pages for your own genuine trade reference, but you may not copy the whole site, lift a service description to sell under your own name or reuse the DeDouTrade mark to suggest an association that does not exist.

If you believe a page repeats material that belongs to you, write to the office and name the page and the work. The house will remove or correct a genuine infringement quickly once its ownership is established.

18. Data and Privacy Reference

These terms and the Privacy Policy belong side by side and are meant to be read together. The privacy text explains what personal data the house collects, how it is used, and the rights you hold over it, and that policy is linked from this page and from the footer of the home page.

By using the site you agree that the house may process the modest amount of data needed to answer you and to run your programme, on the grounds and under the safeguards set out in the privacy text. Nothing in these terms lets the house use your data in a way the privacy policy forbids.

Where these terms and the privacy policy meet, the privacy policy carries the detail and these terms carry the duty to read it. A link to the policy sits on every footer so the plain text is never more than one step away.

19. External Links and Third Parties

The pages may point to carriers, courier trackers, public records or partner firms that do useful work for the house. Once you leave this website, those external pages answer for their own content, their own forms and their own terms.

The house uses third parties to host the site, to carry email and to run analytics, and it answers for the conduct of those parties only to the extent the written agreements let it. A fault in an external system is reported to that provider, and the house keeps the pressure on until the matter is resolved.

A link on this site is an introduction rather than a certificate about the firm behind it. When a partner list matters to your trade, ask the office for the current list and treat that written answer as the reliable source.

20. Force Majeure and Weather Events

No trading lane runs free of the sky, and the umbrella motif of this site is a reminder rather than a joke. A force majeure event means a flood, storm, closure, strike, transport ban, power cut or any cause outside the reasonable control of the party that has to perform.

When such an event stops a delivery, the affected party tells the other as soon as it can and gives a fresh, realistic window. During the event the duties that are stopped are paused, while duties that are not affected carry on. When the event clears, the programme resumes at the point it reached and the file keeps its place.

A buyer does not gain a free exit from a real order just because rain slows a lane, and equally the house does not keep your deposit forever when a road stays closed past any reasonable repair time. In the end it fails, the office releases what it lawfully can and the two sides settle the remainder on the value already spent.

21. Disputes and Governing Rules

The house tries first to settle every difference through the calm record of the exchange, because a well-kept PO file is itself the best witness. If a dispute cannot be settled by wording, the parties first talk, then meet or call, and only then look to a formal route.

These terms and the contracts made under them are governed by the law that applies at the place of the house registered business, which is Bozhou in Anhui Province, China (CN). A court in that place has non-exclusive authority to hear a dispute that reaches the courts.

Where an international buyer enjoys a mandatory home law that a contract cannot remove, that law keeps its place to the extent required. The governing note above is the fallback rule that fills the gaps a lawful agreement may leave open, not a tool to strip a consumer right the law protects.

22. Changes to the Service and Terms

The house may revise these terms when a service shifts, when a law changes or when the developer finds a plainer way to state a rule. The revised text is posted on this page with a fresh date near the top, and the version with the date on it governs your use from the day it is posted.

A change to terms does not claw back rights that an order already confirmed under the earlier text. Open orders keep the terms that stood when they were confirmed, unless both sides agree in writing to adopt the new set for that file.

If any revised term is unacceptable to you, you may stop using the pages and close any open enquiry. Closing an enquiry does not release you from a confirmed order; that order still runs under the terms that created it.

23. General Provisions

If a court rules that one line of these terms is void, the rest of the document keeps its force and the void line is read down to the narrow sense that makes it lawful. A right the house passes over without using is not given away, and a single delay does not stop the house from enforcing the same right later.

A contract under these terms may not be passed to another party without the written agreement of the house, while the house may involve a genuine freight or warehouse partner under the safeguards already described. The headers in these terms are signposts for the reader and do not narrow the words beneath them.

The developer DeDouTrade benefits from the sections on liability and intellectual property to the extent those protect a maintainer who acts under the direction of the house. This last sentence closes the loop between the firm that writes the code and the firm that answers for the trade.

24. How to Reach the Office

Send questions, order files or dispute letters to the trading house by email at office@dedoutrade.autos or by telephone at +12233300083. A letter may also follow the registered address written below.

The office aims to reply to a terms question within one working day and to treat every message with the courtesy that a trading partner deserves. DeDouTrade, as the developer maintaining this site, repeats the same contact details so that the authorship and the trading house are reachable through one door.
