Welcome to Guangzhou Silicone Pro Co., Ltd. These Terms & Conditions govern all quotations, tooling development, and manufacturing services for custom
silicone rubber components. By confirming an order or approving a quotation, the client agrees to the following terms:

1. Quotations and Validity

All quotations are based on current raw material costs (LSR/HCR/Platinum silicone), tooling complexity, and production requirements.

  • Quotations are valid for 30 days, unless otherwise stated.
  • Any change in design, tolerance, material, or volume may result in re-evaluation of pricing.
  • Final pricing is confirmed only after technical drawing review (DFM approval).

2. Tooling Ownership and Maintenance (Critical Clause)

  • Tooling is custom-built based on client-approved drawings.
  • The client bears the full cost of tooling development.
  • The physical mold is stored and maintained at our facility to ensure production stability and quality control.
  • Mold maintenance is provided for normal production lifespan (based on shot life and material compatibility).
  • Unless otherwise agreed in writing, molds are not released from our facility.

3. Manufacturing Tolerances and Material Behavior

Silicone rubber is an elastic and thermally sensitive material. Minor variations are inherent in the molding process.

  • Standard tolerance: ISO 3302-1 Class M2 (or as specified in drawings)
  • Shrinkage, compression set, and elasticity behavior may vary depending on formulation and geometry.
  • Color deviation within industry-standard ΔE tolerance range is considered acceptable.
  • Critical dimensions must be clearly marked as “CTQ (Critical to Quality)” on technical drawings.

4. Sample Approval and Mass Production

  • Pre-production samples (T1/T2 samples) must be approved in writing before mass production begins.
  • Approval confirms acceptance of geometry, material, and functional performance.
  • Any modifications after approval may require new tooling adjustments and additional cost.

5. Quality Inspection and Claims

  • Goods must be inspected within 15 calendar days of receipt.
  • Claims must include batch number, photos, and defect description.
  • Our liability is strictly limited to replacement of defective parts or refund of affected batch value.
  • We are not responsible for downstream assembly issues unless agreed as a system-level project.

6. Intellectual Property and Legal Compliance

  • The client guarantees that all submitted designs and specifications do not infringe third-party intellectual property rights.
  • We do not assume responsibility for patent, trademark, or design violations originating from client-supplied data.
  • The client agrees to indemnify [Your Company Name] against all related claims or legal disputes.

7. Payment Terms

  • Standard terms: 50% deposit for tooling + 50% before shipment (or per Proforma Invoice).
  • Tooling fees are non-refundable once production begins.
  • Orders will not proceed until deposit and final technical confirmation are received.

8. Lead Time and Delivery

Lead time starts after:

  • Deposit confirmation
  • Final drawing approval
  • Sample approval (if applicable)

We are not responsible for delays caused by:

  • Customs clearance
  • Logistics carriers
  • Force majeure events (natural disasters, material shortages, etc.)

9. Force Majeure

We are not liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, government restrictions, raw material shortages, or global supply chain disruptions.
