What's inside
- •Master + Purchase-Order structure — each PO pulls in the agreement's teeth; factory fine print is killed
- •Tooling & mold ownership — your molds are yours when you pay; factory is a custodian; daily RMB penalty for non-return
- •Payment wired to inspection — 30% deposit, 70% only after goods pass; payment only to the licensed company account (stops the personal-account redirect scam)
- •Quality & AQL with real remedies — defect tiers with consequences, your inspector right, Epidemic Defect trigger
- •Anti-knockoff package — no third-shift overruns, no marketplace resale, no making your product for others, auditable records
- •Clean title-vs-risk split, late-delivery liquidated damages, buyer-favorable liability allocation (uncapped for IP, confidentiality, fraud)
- •Three working exhibits — Specifications, Pricing Schedule, Quality/AQL Standard
- •Company chop signature block capturing Chinese legal name, 18-digit USCC, legal rep, bank account

Common Questions
What is a China OEM Supply Agreement?
A China OEM Supply Agreement is the master contract governing your ongoing supply relationship with a Chinese factory — covering pricing, tooling ownership, quality standards, payment terms, IP protection, and what happens if the factory makes defective goods or starts selling your product to competitors.
Do I need a new agreement for each order?
No. The OEM Supply Agreement is a master framework. You sign it once, then each purchase order pulls in all the legal teeth by reference. Each PO is a simple fill-in-the-blank that references the master agreement, killing the factory's boilerplate fine print.
How does tooling ownership work?
The template specifies your molds are yours the moment you pay. The factory is a custodian with no lien rights. They must return physical tools AND digital files on demand, backed by a daily RMB penalty and a route to seize them in Chinese court.
What is an Epidemic Defect clause?
An Epidemic Defect clause triggers when a defect rate exceeds a threshold across multiple shipments. This template includes liquidated damages for epidemic defects, giving you a pre-agreed remedy without needing to prove exact losses in court.
