Acceptance of Terms
By accessing our website, submitting an inquiry, placing an order, or entering into any business relationship with Poweriding Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ("Poweriding," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("Client," "Partner," or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms").
These Terms apply to all OEM/ODM manufacturing engagements, product supply agreements, sample requests, quotation processes, and any related communications between Poweriding and its business clients.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not engage with our services. These Terms may be updated periodically; continued engagement after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Poweriding provides end-to-end electric bicycle OEM and ODM manufacturing services, including but not limited to:
- Mold research, development, and tooling
- Frame production, structural testing, and powder-coat painting
- Battery manufacturing, safety testing, and certification support

- Saddle and component injection moulding
- Full vehicle assembly, pre-shipment inspection, and quality control
- Regulatory certification assistance (UL 2849, CE/EN15194, GCC, BSMI, KC, etc.)
The exact scope of services for each engagement will be defined in a separate written agreement, purchase order, or quotation document mutually executed by both parties.
Orders & Agreements
All orders must be placed in writing via a formal Purchase Order (PO) or signed Sales Contract. Verbal agreements, email discussions, or preliminary quotations do not constitute a binding order.
Orders are confirmed only upon Poweriding's written acceptance and receipt of the agreed deposit. Poweriding reserves the right to decline any order at its sole discretion without liability.
Any changes to confirmed orders -- including specifications, quantities, or delivery schedules -- must be submitted in writing and are subject to Poweriding's written approval. Changes may incur additional costs or lead-time adjustments, which will be communicated promptly.
Minimum order quantities (MOQ) apply and will be specified in the relevant quotation or product listing. Custom OEM/ODM projects may have distinct MOQ requirements based on tooling and production complexity.
Payment Terms
Standard payment terms are 30% deposit upon order confirmation and 70% balance prior to shipment, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
All payments must be made in the currency specified in the invoice (typically USD). Bank transfer (T/T) is the standard accepted payment method. Other methods may be agreed upon in writing.
Tooling and mold development fees are invoiced separately and are typically non-refundable once production has commenced. Tooling ownership terms will be specified in the relevant agreement.
Late payments may incur interest charges at a rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. Poweriding reserves the right to suspend production or shipment for overdue accounts.
All bank charges, wire fees, and currency conversion costs are the responsibility of the Client.
Intellectual Property
Poweriding retains all intellectual property rights in its proprietary technologies, manufacturing processes, standard designs, tooling, and trade secrets, unless explicitly transferred in writing under a separate IP agreement.
Client-provided designs, branding, trademarks, logos, and specifications remain the sole property of the Client. The Client grants Poweriding a limited, non-exclusive license to use such materials solely for the purpose of fulfilling the agreed order.
For custom ODM projects where Poweriding develops unique designs at the Client's request and funded by the Client, ownership of resulting intellectual property will be negotiated and specified in the project agreement.
The Client warrants that all designs, logos, and specifications provided do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights. The Client agrees to indemnify and hold Poweriding harmless from any claims arising from such infringement.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to maintain strict confidentiality regarding all non-public business information, technical data, pricing, product designs, client lists, and trade secrets disclosed during the course of their business relationship ("Confidential Information").
Neither party shall disclose Confidential Information to any third party without prior written consent, except as required by law or to fulfill contractual obligations (e.g., sharing specifications with sub-suppliers under equivalent confidentiality obligations).
Confidentiality obligations survive the termination of any agreement for a period of three (3) years, or longer if specified in a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
Poweriding will not use Client-specific designs, branding, or product information for any purpose other than fulfilling the Client's order without explicit written permission.
Quality & Warranties
Poweriding is committed to delivering products that meet agreed specifications and applicable international standards. Our quality assurance process includes:
- 100% pre-shipment functional testing on every unit
- ISO 2859 statistical sampling inspection
- Life cycle, drop, and durability testing
- Battery electrical safety testing (short-circuit, overcharge, thermal)
- RoHS/REACH compliance for all materials
Poweriding warrants that products will conform to the agreed specifications and be free from material defects at the time of shipment. Warranty claims must be submitted in writing within 30 days of receipt of goods, accompanied by photographic evidence and a detailed defect report.
Warranty coverage does not extend to damage caused by improper use, modification, accident, normal wear and tear, or failure to follow Poweriding's product guidelines. Poweriding's liability under warranty is limited to repair, replacement, or credit at Poweriding's discretion.
Shipping & Delivery
Delivery timelines are estimated and commence upon receipt of the confirmed deposit and all required design/specification approvals. Poweriding will make commercially reasonable efforts to meet agreed delivery dates but does not guarantee delivery by a specific date.
Unless otherwise agreed, goods are shipped EXW (Ex-Works) Tianjin, China. The Client is responsible for arranging and bearing the cost of freight, insurance, customs clearance, and import duties in the destination country.
Risk of loss and title to goods transfer to the Client at the point of delivery as defined by the agreed Incoterms. Poweriding is not liable for delays caused by carriers, customs authorities, force majeure events, or circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
The Client is responsible for ensuring compliance with all import regulations, certifications, and labelling requirements in the destination market. Poweriding will provide available documentation (certificates, test reports, MSDS, etc.) to facilitate customs clearance.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Poweriding's total liability to the Client for any claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or any order shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client for the specific order giving rise to the claim.
In no event shall Poweriding be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of business opportunity, or reputational damage, even if Poweriding has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Poweriding shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, labour disputes, supply chain disruptions, or transportation failures ("Force Majeure Events"). Poweriding will notify the Client promptly of any such event and its expected impact.
Termination
Either party may terminate an order or agreement by written notice if the other party materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure such breach within 14 days of receiving written notice of the breach.
In the event of Client-initiated cancellation of a confirmed order, the Client shall be liable for all costs incurred by Poweriding up to the date of cancellation, including materials purchased, tooling developed, and labour expended. Deposits are non-refundable once production has commenced.
Poweriding may immediately suspend or terminate services if the Client fails to make payment when due, engages in fraudulent conduct, or violates any applicable laws or regulations.
Upon termination, all outstanding payment obligations remain due and payable. Provisions relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, and governing law shall survive termination.
Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any disputes arising from or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
The parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation. If a dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of written notice, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration administered by the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) in Tianjin, China, in accordance with its arbitration rules then in effect.
The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English or Chinese, as mutually agreed. The arbitral award shall be final and binding on both parties.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending arbitration.
