All orders accepted by ECVV are subject to the Standard Conditions and Terms of Sale set out below:

(Version updated July 2020)

By accessing or using the ECVV website services in any way, you have fully read, understood, and agreed that you have entered into this agreement with ECVV, and you will be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement ("Terms"). ECVV may change or modify the Terms from time-to-time without notice other than posting the amended Terms on the Site. The amended Terms will automatically be effective when posted on our Site. Your continued use of our Site after any changes in these Terms shall constitute your consent to such changes.

1. General

1.1 All orders for products and services on the ECVV website“ https://www.ecvv.US/” (the "ECVV website") accepted by ECVV Network Technology Corp., Ltd (“ECVV”) are subject to these conditions and terms of sale. No other terms will apply to the supply of products and services by ECVV unless agreed in writing by an authorized signatory of ECVV or expressly stated otherwise in these conditions and Terms of Sale.

1.2 All descriptions of the products and services contained on the ECVV website or otherwise communicated to any purchaser of such products or services (the “Customer”) are approximate only and shall not form any part of the contract between ECVV and the Customer. ECVV shall not be liable for any error or omission on the ECVV website, ECVV catalogs, or other product advertisements. The advertisements of products and services on the ECVV website are not an offer capable of acceptance; it merely constitutes an invitation by ECVV for the Customer to make an offer to purchase products and services. ECVV's acceptance of the Customer's order will take place when ECVV confirms pricing and delivery dates to the Customer in writing, at which point a contract will come into existence between ECVV and the Customer.

1.3 These conditions and terms of sale do not apply to export transactions, nor to Product Plus Products, to which separate conditions and terms of sale apply.

1.4 ECVV is an intelligent E-commerce website and intended for use by business customers and private individuals acting as consumers(“Consumers”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these conditions and terms of sale shall affect the statutory rights of a Customer who deals as a consumer.

1.5 The Customer's particular attention is required for clause 11, which sets out certain limitations of ECVV's liability.

2. Prices

2.1 The prices of the products and services are as set out on the ECVV website. Despite our efforts, occasional pricing errors may occur in the ECVV catalogs and websites, and ECVV reserves the right to correct or change such pricing errors without notice. ECVV further reserves the right to cancel any and all orders resulting from such pricing errors, even if the Customer has received an order confirmation from ECVV.

2.2 The price of an ordered product or service will be set out on the ECVV website at the time of order acceptance by ECVV, except for products or services ordered for delivery at a future specified date (“forward orders”). The price for forwarding orders may be varied by ECVV after the date of order acceptance by written notice to the Customer.

2.3 All prices are excluding VAT, which ECVV will add at the rate applicable at the date of order acceptance.

3. Ordering

3.1 ECVV reserves the right to decline to trade with any company or person. ECVV may decline to accept any order, whether or not payment has been received, by giving notice of non-acceptance to the Customer by telephone, email or facsimile within a reasonable period of receipt of the order by ECVV. Further, ECVV may cancel orders which have been accepted by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Customer by telephone, email or facsimile within a reasonable period of receipt of the order by ECVV. If ECVV rejects or cancels an order for which payment has been taken, it will refund the amount to the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable.

3.2 ECVV executes orders to the Customer's requirements, but may provide substitute products where requested by the Customer, or where the product has been superseded by the latest version. To the extent that orders cannot be fulfilled completely from stock, the unfulfilled balance will (at the Customer’s option) either be put on backorder to be fulfilled when ECVV next has available stock or be canceled and refunded to the Customer.

3.3 The Customer must submit orders using the ECVV stock numbers and the priced units used on the ECVV website and must specify which delivery option is required. Any confirmation of a previous order by the Customer must be marked 'CONFIRMATION ONLY' or otherwise clearly identified as a confirmation to avoid duplication. If the Customer orders the wrong product or number of products or duplicates orders, ECVV may refuse to accept the return.

3.4 All product order cancellations must be approved by ECVV, and may be denied or subject to restocking fees and other charges.

3.5 Customer shall not assign any order, or any interest therein, without the prior written consent of ECVV. Any actual or attempted assignment without ECVV's prior written consent shall entitle ECVV to cancel such order upon notice to the Customer.

4. Delivery

4.1 Subject to any cancellation, substitution or non-fulfillment of Customer's orders in accordance with clause 3 (Ordering), ECVV will deliver the products specified in the Customer's order. ECVV may use third-party delivery agents to deliver products to Customers.

4.2 The Customer's delivery options, and the prices for them, are as set out on the ECVV website at the date of order or will be notified to the Customer at the time of order.

4.3 Delivery prices apply per order, irrespective of the number of products ordered. Delivery will be made to the Customer's usual business address, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

4.4 ECVV will aim to deliver products in accordance with the times and dates for delivery quoted on the ECVV website or by ECVV's employees (the 'Quoted Delivery Times'), but Quoted Delivery Times are approximate only and ECVV shall not be liable for the consequences of any delay in delivery. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence.

4.5 If any delivery has not been made by the Quoted Delivery Time, then subject to the Customer notifying ECVV of such delay, ECVV will endeavor to ascertain if the product has been delivered and will inform the Customer about the delivery status or new expected delivery time. ECVV may also, at its discretion, refund the total delivery charge to the Customer. If a revised delivery time is not acceptable ECVV may also, at its discretion, offer an alternative delivery option. These are the Customer's exclusive remedies for late delivery.

5. Inspection, Delivery Delays and Non-Delivery

5.1 The Customer must inspect the products as soon as is reasonably possible after delivery or collection. The Customer shall, within 30 days of the date of delivery or collection, the Quoted Delivery Time or any updated estimated date for delivery, give notice to ECVV in detail of:

ii. Any shortfall in products delivered. In this case, ECVV shall, at its discretion, deliver the undelivered products or refund the price of the undelivered products;

iii. Any delivery of products not in accordance with the order. In this case, ECVV shall, at ECVV's discretion, replace the products or refund the purchase price.

5.2 If the Customer fails to give any such notice, the Products shall be conclusively presumed to be, in all respects, in accordance with the order and free from apparent defects, and the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the products accordingly. ECVV's record of the products despatched (including the quantity) shall be conclusive evidence of the products received by the Customer unless proved otherwise by the Customer.

5.3 The remedies set out above are the Customer's exclusive remedies for non-delivery or short delivery of products, or for apparent defects in the products or delivery of products not in accordance with the order. ECVV shall not be liable for any losses, consequential or otherwise, or for costs (including legal costs), expenses, liabilities, loss of profits, loss of productivity, business or economic loss, depletion of goodwill, damages, claims, demands, proceedings, judgments or otherwise arising from these circumstances.

6. Payment

6.1 If ECVV has not granted credit to the Customer, payment terms are telegraphic bank transfer or PayPal.

The Customer shall pay the price of the product or service by the 20th day of the month following the month in which the products are dispatched. All payments must be made without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim.

iii. ECVV may also charge the Customer interest from the due date until payment is made in full (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at a rate that is calculated at the monthly compound interest rate of the bank's benchmark interest rate announced by the People's Bank of China.

7. Risk and Ownership

7.1 In the case of products to be delivered to the Customer's property, risk of loss of or damage to the products shall pass to the Customer on delivery, unless the Customer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the products, in which case such risk shall pass to the Customer at the time when ECVV has attempted to deliver the products. In the case of products that the Customer orders to be collected from an ECVV trade counter, the risk of damage or loss to the Products shall pass to the Customer at the time of collection.

7.2 Ownership of any product supplied shall not pass to the Customer until full payment of the purchase price of the products and of all other amounts owing to ECVV has been made (in cash or cleared funds). If the Customer is late in paying any sum to ECVV, then ECVV shall be entitled to the immediate return of all products where ownership has not passed to the Customer. The Customer authorizes ECVV and its agents to recover any such products in such circumstance and to enter any premises of the Customer for that purpose.

7.3 Demand for or recovery of the products by ECVV shall not of itself discharge either the Customer's liability to pay the whole of the price and take delivery of the products or ECVV's right to sue for the whole of the price.
