These launch terms define the platform role, RFQ limitations, supplier collaboration model, and buyer responsibility boundaries. They should be legally reviewed before production launch.
Platform role
KeelGauge is a platform-owned industrial procurement channel. It is not presented as the official website of any single factory or supplier.
The platform collects and qualifies RFQs, then may match suitable requests with certified manufacturing partners, anchor suppliers, backup suppliers, or specialist suppliers.
RFQs and quotations
Submitting an RFQ does not create a purchase order, binding contract, price guarantee, delivery commitment, or supplier obligation.
Any quotation, certificate confirmation, sample policy, payment term, delivery term, inspection requirement, or order condition must be separately confirmed in writing.
Buyer responsibilities
Buyers are responsible for providing accurate product requirements, specifications, standards, destination details, certificate requirements, and contact information.
Buyers should independently review quotations, documents, certifications, inspection results, import rules, and commercial terms before placing an order.
Supplier collaboration
Supplier specialists may assist with technical questions, manufacturing feasibility, documents, packing references, loading context, and quotation support after platform assignment.
Supplier access is collaborative, limited, and revocable. Customer records, advertising data, CRM history, and unassigned lead pools remain controlled by the platform.
Limitations
Product descriptions, case references, certificates, and capability signals are provided for sourcing qualification and trust-building. Final order reliance requires buyer verification and written confirmation.
These terms are a launch template and should be reviewed before production use with actual company details, governing law, dispute resolution, and target-market compliance requirements.
RFQ boundary
An RFQ is a sourcing request, not a binding order
Prices, certificates, payment terms, delivery terms, and order conditions require separate written confirmation.
