Jinjiang Feite Sports Technology Co., Ltd.

Terms of Trade

Standard Terms of Trade & Manufacturing Policy governing all Fate Sports Ltd ODM and OEM programs. These terms are confirmed on the formal Proforma Invoice and order contract for each program. Last updated June 2026.

1. Commercial Payment Milestones

To ensure uninterrupted raw material procurement and production scheduling, all Fate Sports Ltd ODM and OEM programs operate on strict milestone-based payment structures via T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) to our verified corporate accounts.

• Phase 1 — Sampling & Tooling (if applicable): 100% upfront payment for any custom sample execution, material sourcing, or requested mold modifications prior to engineering.
• Phase 2 — Bulk Production Trigger: 30% deposit required upon written approval of the physical Pre-Production Sample (PPS) and final technical specification. Production lead times do not commence until this deposit clears.
• Phase 3 — Final Release: 70% balance due upon completion of production and successful Quality Control (QC) inspection, strictly prior to the release of the Bill of Lading (B/L) or handover to the freight forwarder.

2. Production Timeline & Pipeline Protection

Our standard 14-week production timeline for validated footwear platforms is engineered for speed and precision. To protect this pipeline, the timeline is governed by the following conditions:

• The Clock Start: The 14-week (or mutually agreed) production lead time begins only when two conditions are met: (1) the buyer signs off on the final physical PPS in writing, and (2) the 30% production deposit is received.
• Buyer-Side Delays: Any delay in sample approval, material selection, or branding finalization by the buyer will result in a commensurate extension of the final delivery date.
• Specification Freeze: Once the PPS is approved and the deposit is paid, the Bill of Materials (BOM) is locked. Any subsequent changes to colorways, materials, or branding will incur re-tooling fees and reset the production timeline.

3. Incoterms & Freight Liability

All Fate Sports production is quoted and executed under FOB (Free on Board) China terms.

• Port of Loading: Xiamen Port / Jinjiang logistics hubs.
• Transfer of Risk: Risk of loss or damage transfers to the buyer the moment the goods are loaded onto the vessel or handed over to the buyer-nominated freight forwarder.
• Freight & Import: Ocean/air freight, destination duties, taxes, and customs clearance are arranged and borne by the buyer or the buyer's nominated forwarder.

4. Quality Control (QC) & Inspection Rights

Fate Sports operates under strict internal QC gates at the material, inline, and pre-shipment phases.

• AQL Standard: Final production is measured against standard international Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL): 2.5 for major defects, 4.0 for minor defects.
• Third-Party Inspection: Buyers are welcome and encouraged to nominate recognized third-party inspection agencies (e.g., SGS, TÜV, Intertek) at their own cost.
• Acceptance Window: Final inspection must take place at the Fate Sports facility prior to container loading and final balance payment. Handover to the forwarder constitutes acceptance of the goods.

5. Intellectual Property & Asset Ownership

• Buyer IP: The buyer retains absolute ownership over all submitted trademarks, logos, custom color palettes, and proprietary packaging designs. Fate Sports will never distribute or display buyer-branded production without explicit authorization.
• Platform IP: Fate Sports retains full ownership of the underlying structural architecture, including but not limited to: sole molds, chassis CAD data, proprietary upper textiles, and internal eTPU / shank specifications.

6. Exclusivity & Proprietary Tooling

Territorial and global platform lockouts are strictly governed by separate commercial agreements based on rolling annual volume commitments or tooling amortization schedules. Standard orders are supplied on an open-mold ODM basis with the buyer's brand, colorway, and graphics applied. Contact the commercial desk for qualification metrics.

The terms confirmed on the formal Proforma Invoice and order contract, together with the order's Alibaba.com Trade Assurance terms, govern each specific order.
