Terms of Sale

Effective 13 November 2026

These terms apply to every quotation, order and contract under which Tech Inc. supplies equipment, spares or services, unless a signed contract says otherwise. The Tech Inc. company named in the quotation is the seller.

1. Quotations

• A quotation is valid for 30 days from its date unless it states otherwise.
• Prices, scope, specification, delivery time, payment terms and Incoterms are those stated in the quotation.
• A contract is formed only when we issue a written order acknowledgement. The buyer's own terms do not apply unless we accept them in writing.

2. Specification and design

Equipment is built to the specification agreed in the order acknowledgement and the approved drawings. The buyer is responsible for the accuracy of the process data, site conditions and standards it provides. Changes after acknowledgement are made by written change order and may alter price and delivery.

3. Prices and taxes

Prices exclude taxes, duties and bank charges unless the quotation states otherwise. These are added at the applicable rate.

4. Payment

• Payment is due on the terms in the quotation.
• Late payments may incur interest at the rate permitted by law and entitle us to suspend work or delivery.
• Title to the goods passes to the buyer only when we have received full payment. Risk passes according to the agreed Incoterm.

5. Delivery

• Delivery is made according to the Incoterm (Incoterms 2020) stated in the quotation.
• Delivery times run from order acknowledgement, receipt of any advance payment and approval of drawings, whichever is latest, and are estimates made in good faith.
• If the buyer delays collection or approvals, we may store the goods at the buyer's cost and risk and invoice them as delivered.

6. Inspection and acceptance

Equipment is tested in our factory before dispatch. The buyer may witness the factory acceptance test with reasonable notice. The buyer must inspect goods on arrival and report any damage or shortage in writing within 7 days. Goods are deemed accepted if no written rejection is received within 30 days of delivery, or on first productive use.

7. Warranty

• Unless the quotation states otherwise, we warrant that equipment is free from defects in materials and workmanship for 12 months from commissioning or 18 months from dispatch, whichever ends first.
• Our obligation is limited to repairing or replacing defective parts, or refunding the price of those parts, at our option.
• The warranty does not cover wear parts and consumables (such as membranes, filter elements, seals and gaskets), damage from misuse, incorrect installation or operation, operation outside the design conditions, or modification by others.

8. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law: we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, production or use, or for any indirect or consequential loss; and our total liability under or in connection with a contract is limited to the contract price. Nothing limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

9. Cancellation

Orders for engineered equipment may be cancelled only with our written agreement. The buyer pays for work done, materials ordered and costs incurred up to cancellation, plus a reasonable cancellation charge.

10. Intellectual property and confidentiality

Designs, drawings, software and documents we supply remain our property. The buyer may use them to install, operate and maintain the equipment, but may not copy them for manufacture or disclose them to third parties. Each party keeps the other's confidential information confidential.

11. Export control and compliance

Supply is subject to export control and sanctions laws. The buyer will not re-export or use the goods in breach of those laws. Both parties comply with anti-corruption laws.

12. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Time for performance is extended for the duration of the event.

13. Governing law and disputes

A contract with Tech Inc International Corporation is governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, with jurisdiction in the courts of Ontario. A contract with the Tech Inc. company in India is governed by the laws of India, with jurisdiction in the courts of Chennai. The parties first try to settle any dispute by negotiation between senior managers.

14. General

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in force. These terms, the quotation and the order acknowledgement form the entire agreement. Questions: mail@techincresearch.com.
