What binds us, and what does not
Nothing on this site is an offer. Every figure here is indicative. A binding specification, price and delivery date arise on one document only — a proforma invoice signed by both sides.
These are terms about this website. They are not the contract of sale. The contract of sale is your signed proforma invoice and whatever is attached to it. Where the two ever disagree, the proforma wins — including where this site is the more generous of the two.
Published figures are indicative
Specifications on this site publish as typical ranges bound to a named standard, generated from plant records that each carry a source and a date. A range describes what our plants routinely run. It is not a commitment for your job, because your job has not been specified yet — fill weight, substrate, print method and destination all move the numbers.
No page here is an offer capable of acceptance, no page forms a contract, and no figure becomes a warranty by being published. Where a product has no figure bound to a standard, this site publishes no figure at all rather than an unbound one.
The one document that binds
A proforma invoice states the parties, the full specification, quantity, unit price and currency, the Incoterms 2020 rule and named place, payment terms, lead time and bank details. Signed by both sides, it binds. Unsigned, nothing binds — not an emailed price, not a page on this site, not a number given on a call.
Bank details appear only on a signed proforma, and never change by email. The account name always matches the contracting entity on your contract exactly. If you receive a message changing payment details — from any address, however plausible — stop and confirm by voice on a published number.
Tolerances and inspection
Unless your proforma says otherwise, these apply. They are adopted published standards, not numbers we invented, which means you can run the test yourself and get the same answer.
| What | Convention | Bound to |
|---|---|---|
| Bag width and length | ±3% | GB/T 8946-2013 |
| Fabric weight (GSM) | ±5% | GB/T 8946-2013, weighed and back-calculated from a cut sample |
| Pre-shipment inspection | AQL 2.5 major / 4.0 minor | ISO 2859-1, General Inspection Level II |
Goods inside those tolerances conform. Goods outside them do not, and we reject and rework at our own cost before they leave China — the full inspection routine is on the quality page.
Specifications are revised
Plant records change as facts arrive — a nameplate gets verified, a certificate expires, a process gains evidence — and the pages generated from them change with it. Pages carry dates for that reason.
The revision that governs your order is the one written on your signed proforma. A later change to this site does not alter an order already placed, and does not vary a signed proforma in either direction.
Who you contract with
You contract with Yixin Industrial Ltd., of No. 439 Taibei Road, Lingxi Town, Cangnan County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China. The name at the top of this site is a trading name; the contracting party is that legal entity and nobody else. It is the seller on your proforma, the party your claim is against, and the name your payment goes to — the account name always matches it exactly.
The entity on your invoice is not the entity on the ISO certificates. Certificates are held by the plant that earned them, and no certification body can issue one to a group of companies that merely share ownership. We publish which plant holds what, alongside the entity on the invoice, on the group page — so you read it here rather than discover it during an audit.
We hold the contract, the quality standard and the recourse. We do not disclose which plant will run your order, so we can move it if a line goes down; that changes nothing you were promised, and your claim is against us either way. If you need a named site or a named certification, say so with your enquiry and it is written on the proforma.
Governing law and disputes
To be confirmed. Governing law, the forum for disputes and the language of proceedings are not settled, and we will not publish a placeholder that reads like a decision. They will be stated on your proforma before any order is accepted. If anyone tells you our standard terms already specify a forum, they are mistaken.
Your artwork stays yours
Artwork, trademarks and specifications you send us for a quotation remain yours. Sending them to us does not give us a licence to use them for anything except quoting and, if you order, producing your job. We do not put customer artwork on this site.
Terms a contract needs that a website cannot set
These are settled per order on the proforma, not here. We would rather list them than let the absence read as agreement to a trade custom nobody wrote down:
- Title and when it passes, alongside the risk transfer your Incoterms rule already fixes.
- Warranty after arrival — its scope, its duration, the window for notifying a claim, and the remedy. What this site publishes today is the pre-shipment remedy on the quality page.
- Any limit on liability, and what sits outside it.
- Quantity over-run and under-run: how much counts as delivered in full, and how it is billed. No convention is published on this site, so do not assume the customary one.
- Minimum order quantity, which is per product and per press, and is quoted rather than published.
- Force majeure, including power curtailment and port disruption.
- Ownership, custody and disposal of printing cylinders and plates made for your job.
- Confidentiality of your specification, and export controls and sanctions screening.
Questions about this page
Ask before you order rather than after: info@ixpackaging.com. If a term matters to your procurement policy, say so with your enquiry and it will be dealt with on the proforma rather than left to be discovered. What happens to the contact details you send us is set out separately, in privacy.
