Using This Site
You are welcome to read, share and link to anything on this site.
Quotes and Orders
A request sent through this site, by email or on WhatsApp is a request, not an order. Every order is agreed in writing, for that order: the part and its drawing, the material and the checks, the quantity, the price, where the parts are made, the shipping terms, the delivery date and the payment terms.
A quote becomes an order only when both sides have confirmed it in writing. Production starts only after you have approved the first pieces, unless we agree otherwise in writing for that order.
A pattern or a die made for your part, and paid for by you, is yours.
Guides and Information
Our guides and the grades, standards and ranges on our product pages explain how things usually work. They are not legal, tax, customs or engineering advice for your case. Your drawing and your written order decide what is made, so check your own requirements before you rely on them.
Links to Other Sites
Some pages link to other websites, such as the sources our guides refer to. We are not responsible for what those sites say or do.
Our Responsibility
We take care to keep this site accurate, but it is offered as it is. What we owe you on an order is set out in the written agreement for that order.
