Terms of Service

The terms that govern your use of Hopeson Global Trading and the sourcing, quoting, and shipping services we provide.

Last updated: 2026

1. Who we are

Hopeson Global Trading is a China-based sourcing partner that connects international buyers to verified factories. We act as an agent on your behalf — we do not manufacture goods.

2. Quotes

All quotes are free and non-binding until accepted in writing. Prices, MOQs, and lead times depend on factory availability and currency fluctuations and may be revised before order confirmation.

3. Orders & payment

  • Orders are confirmed by our China team before processing.
  • Bulk orders typically require a deposit (usually 30–50%) before production starts and balance before shipping.
  • Direct-purchase (Buy Now) items are paid in full at checkout via Stripe or Paystack.
  • Our service fee is disclosed in writing on every quote — no hidden margins.

4. Quality inspection

Pre-shipment inspection is included on every bulk order. If goods fail inspection, we will negotiate rework, replacement, or refund with the factory on your behalf.

5. Shipping & delivery

We coordinate shipping but are not the carrier. Estimated delivery times are indicative and subject to customs, port delays, and weather. Risk of loss transfers per the Incoterms agreed in your quote (typically FOB China or DDP destination).

6. Limitation of liability

Our total liability is limited to the service fee paid to us for the specific order. We are not liable for lost profits, downstream commercial losses, or damages outside our reasonable control.

7. Returns

See our Shipping & Returns Policy for full details on damaged goods, wrong items, and return procedures.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. Disputes will first be resolved through good-faith negotiation.
