1. Scope
These Terms and Conditions apply to every quotation, order confirmation, production order and delivery of ZORIN forged wheels.
- Orders are accepted in writing: email, signed quotation or payment confirmation.
- Nothing on this website constitutes an offer. A contract exists only when ZORIN confirms the order in writing.
2. Custom orders
Each set is manufactured to the specification approved by the buyer.
- A 2D drawing states PCD, centre bore, offset, size and finish.
- Production begins only after the drawing is approved in writing and payment has cleared.
- Changes requested after drawing approval may delay the order and may be charged.
- Once the billet is cut, the order cannot be cancelled — the wheel is a one-off and not resellable.
3. Quotation and payment
- Payment terms: full payment before production. No deposit / balance split is offered on standard orders.
- Prices are quoted in the buyer's local currency and are confirmed on the order confirmation.
- Bank charges and currency conversion costs are borne by the payer.
- Production slots are allocated only after payment clears.
4. Delivery and risk
- Lead times are estimates, not guarantees.
- Risk passes according to the Incoterm® selected for the order (see section 5).
- Delays caused by customs inspection, force majeure or carrier issues are beyond our control.
5. Trade terms — Incoterms® 2020
We apply Incoterms® 2020 to define the allocation of costs, risks and responsibilities between ZORIN and the buyer for all custom forged wheel orders. Our commonly available trade terms are DDP, DAP, FOB and EXW.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) — recommended for private residential addresses
- ZORIN arranges export customs clearance, ocean freight, import duty, VAT and final delivery to the designated address.
- A residential surcharge may apply for private addresses.
- Risk remains with ZORIN until the goods are successfully delivered to the destination address.
- Best for individual buyers and dealers who do not want to handle import customs procedures.
DAP (Delivered At Place)
- ZORIN arranges export customs clearance and transport to the destination address.
- The buyer is responsible for import customs filing, import duty and local VAT / taxes.
- Risk transfers once the goods arrive at the named destination.
- Suitable for dealers with their own import licence and customs clearance capability.
FOB (Free On Board)
- Goods are handed over at the loading port in China.
- The buyer arranges ocean freight, destination import clearance, taxes and last-mile delivery.
- Risk transfers to the buyer once the goods are loaded on the vessel.
- Suitable for large-volume dealers with their own freight forwarders.
EXW (Ex Works)
- Goods are available at our cooperative factory.
- The buyer takes charge of pickup, all transport, export and import customs declaration, and all related fees.
- Risk transfers when the goods are collected by the buyer or the buyer's agent.
Important notes
1. Incoterms only define the split of cost and risk. They do not determine the transfer of product ownership.
2. All quoted lead times are estimates only. Delays caused by customs inspection, force majeure or carrier issues are beyond our control.
3. Under DDP, if the buyer provides incorrect address information or fails to cooperate with customs requirements, the extra charges and delivery risks are borne by the buyer.
4. Local import restrictions and vehicle homologation rules are the buyer's responsibility to confirm before placing an order.
6. Warranty
- Manufacturing defects in the forging and machining, and coating defects under normal use, are covered for the period stated on the invoice.
- Impact damage, kerbing, improper installation and motorsport use are excluded.
- Warranty applies to the original buyer only and is not transferable.
7. Liability
- Our liability is limited to the value of the goods supplied.
- We are not liable for indirect loss, loss of profit or consequential damage.
- Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
8. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions, all sales contracts, order confirmations and related disputes between ZORIN and the buyer shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the People's Republic of China, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement — including formation, validity, breach, termination or performance — shall first be settled amicably through negotiation between both parties.
If the parties fail to reach agreement through friendly negotiation, the dispute shall be submitted to the competent people's court where ZORIN is located, for exclusive jurisdiction.
Nothing in this clause shall prejudice any mandatory consumer protection laws applicable to the buyer in their country of residence, which cannot be excluded by contract.
