Last updated: August 3, 2026
These Sales Terms and Conditions apply to quotations, order confirmations, and sales of electronic components or related services by Afori. Additional or different terms stated in a quotation, pro forma invoice, order confirmation, or signed agreement form part of the transaction and take priority if they conflict with this page.
1. Quotations and Order Acceptance
RFQs and cart submissions are requests for information and do not create an obligation to sell. Quotations are valid only for the period stated and remain subject to availability, supplier confirmation, credit review, export screening, and correction of obvious errors. An order becomes binding only when Afori issues written acceptance or an order confirmation.
2. Product, Quantity, and Source
The accepted quotation or order confirmation identifies the part number, manufacturer, quantity, condition, source description, and any agreed documentation. The buyer is responsible for confirming that the selected product, revision, package, temperature grade, and specifications meet its requirements before ordering.
3. Prices, Taxes, and Currency
Prices and currency are stated in the applicable quotation or order confirmation. Unless expressly included, prices do not include taxes, duties, customs charges, bank fees, insurance, or delivery costs. The buyer is responsible for charges imposed by authorities or financial institutions, except taxes based on Afori's net income.
4. Payment
Payment method, due date, deposit requirements, and credit terms are stated in the applicable transaction documents. Afori may delay sourcing or shipment until required funds clear and may suspend performance if payment is late or payment risk materially changes.
5. Availability and Lead Times
Inventory, supplier availability, and lead times may change rapidly. Dates are estimates unless Afori expressly agrees in writing that a date is guaranteed. We will notify the buyer of material changes and seek approval where a substitute, split delivery, or revised schedule is proposed.
6. Delivery, Title, and Risk
Delivery method, destination, freight responsibility, title transfer, risk of loss, and any applicable Incoterm are governed by the quotation or order confirmation. The buyer must provide complete delivery information and promptly cooperate with customs, carrier, and import requirements.
7. Changes, Cancellation, and NCNR Items
Order changes or cancellations require Afori's written approval. Products sourced specifically for the buyer, scheduled orders, custom items, and items identified as non-cancellable and non-returnable (NCNR) may not be changed, cancelled, or returned after acceptance. Any applicable cancellation charge or NCNR status will be identified in the transaction documents or confirmed before acceptance.
8. Inspection, Shortage, and Returns
The buyer must inspect deliveries promptly and notify Afori within the period stated in the transaction documents of visible damage, shortage, incorrect product, or other claimed nonconformity. Returns require prior written authorisation and must follow the provided instructions. Products damaged by handling, installation, testing, storage, misuse, alteration, or electrostatic discharge after delivery are not eligible for return unless otherwise agreed.
9. Product Warranty and Authenticity
Any express warranty, test report, traceability record, or authenticity commitment is limited to what is stated in the accepted quotation or order confirmation. Manufacturer warranties, when transferable, are passed through to the buyer to the extent permitted. Except for express written commitments and rights that cannot legally be excluded, no additional warranty is provided.
10. Specifications and Compliance Information
Datasheets, RoHS or REACH status, lifecycle information, country of origin, and other compliance data may be supplied by manufacturers or suppliers and can change. The buyer must independently confirm information material to its application, regulatory duties, import requirements, and production release.
11. High-Risk Applications
Products must not be used in life-support, medical safety, nuclear, aerospace flight-control, weapons, or other high-risk applications unless the application is disclosed in advance and Afori expressly agrees in writing. The buyer is responsible for appropriate design validation, qualification, redundancy, and compliance.
12. Export Controls and Sanctions
The buyer must comply with applicable export controls, sanctions, import rules, and end-use or end-user restrictions. Afori may request screening information and may refuse, suspend, or cancel a transaction when necessary to comply with law or supplier restrictions.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential losses, including lost profit, production, data, or business opportunity. Afori's aggregate transaction liability will not exceed the amount paid for the affected products, except where applicable law does not permit that limitation.
14. Force Majeure
Afori is not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including supplier failure, allocation, transport disruption, natural disaster, epidemic, labour dispute, government action, cyber incident, utility failure, or export restriction. Performance time will be extended for the duration of the event, and the parties will work in good faith on a practical resolution.
15. Order of Precedence and Contact
If documents conflict, the following order generally applies: a signed agreement, the order confirmation, the accepted quotation, and these Sales Terms and Conditions. Buyer purchase-order terms do not apply unless Afori expressly accepts them in writing. Questions can be submitted through our Contact Us page.
