AxleWorks Sourcing Terms of Service

These terms describe the purpose of this site and the way an inquiry is used when a business buyer asks for sourcing assistance.

Scope of sourcing support

AxleWorks Sourcing helps prepare purchasing requirements and compare options from prospective suppliers. Inquiry categories describe products a buyer may ask about. Submission opens a sourcing conversation. A supplier offer, purchase order or separate written agreement would describe any actual supply, quantity, price and delivery terms.

Product references and suitability

Brand and part references help identify the application or existing item. Buyers should review the written proposal, determine which checks their application requires and arrange approval by qualified fitment or quality staff. Where the proposal depends on a sample, both sides should document the exact part and revision and the conditions for accepting it. For vehicle systems, the buyer and installer should check the requirements of the intended vehicle and installation.

Quotes and commercial terms

Suppliers confirm availability, sample or production lead times, included hardware, pricing, shipping, duties and warranties in their own offers. Keep estimates separate from confirmed terms and identify the party responsible for each commercial item in writing. If an order involves several shipments, check when responsibility changes and which documents accompany each shipment.

Inquiries and updates

Use contact information you are authorized to provide and include the details necessary for an initial comparison. Ask about a suitable channel before sending a drawing or other material you consider confidential. Review our Privacy Policy for information about inquiry data. Use the contact form to clarify a previous request or to ask how a particular offer should be interpreted before placing an order. Keep a copy of the submitted application and quantity so your team can confirm later offers address the same scope. Changes to the brief can affect the fitment review and quotation basis.
