- Cancel the order and issue a full refund.
- Contact you to confirm acceptance of the correct price.
B. Payment Terms
Standard orders use T/T bank transfer instructions issued against the specific order or invoice:
- Checkout payment methods currently offered on the storefront are T/T bank transfer instructions issued against the specific order or invoice.
- If an order requires staged freight billing or later shipping charges, that request is documented in the order record before payment is requested.
- Any supplier deposit, balance schedule, or offline adjustment must be confirmed in writing for the specific order and is not implied by default website checkout.
C. Late Payments
Orders not paid within the agreed timeframe may be canceled. A late fee of 2% per month may apply to overdue invoices.
7. Logistics & Payment Stages
Product pricing and delivery charges may be handled in separate stages depending on the order and logistics arrangement. This means:
- Catalog or checkout totals may exclude final shipping, duties, taxes, or destination surcharges unless they are expressly quoted in writing.
- Final logistics charges depend on the selected delivery mode, destination, packaging, and final shipment details.
- If additional logistics charges apply, they will be confirmed in writing before dispatch or final release.
A. Standard Order Flow
- Stage 1: Submit and pay the goods portion shown at checkout, or follow the invoiced bank-transfer instructions.
- Stage 2: Confirm any additional logistics charges that apply to your selected delivery arrangement before final dispatch when required.
B. Shipping Rate Estimates
View estimated shipping rates at /shipping-rates. Actual costs may vary based on packaging dimensions and current market rates.
8. Shipping & Incoterms
Shipments are handled under Incoterms 2020 where applicable. The delivery arrangement for your order will be confirmed in your quotation, checkout flow, or shipping confirmation.
- FCA (Free Carrier): If you use your own forwarder in China, handoff details are confirmed before release to the nominated warehouse or carrier.
- DAP / DDP: Managed delivery may be available for select routes, subject to destination review, additional charges, and written confirmation.
- EXW / FOB: These terms apply only when expressly quoted in writing for the specific order.
We work with trusted logistics partners: DHL, FedEx, UPS, and sea freight forwarders.
10. Order Changes & Cancellation
A. Buyer-Requested Changes or Cancellation
If you ask to change or cancel an order before dispatch, treatment depends on sourcing status, supplier commitments, packaging progress, and any non-recoverable costs already incurred:
- Before sourcing or supplier confirmation begins: A cancellation may be accepted without a standard fee, subject to any non-recoverable charges already incurred.
- After sourcing, sampling, or supplier commitment has begun: Any deposits, service fees, materials, or other committed costs may be non-refundable or deducted from the final remedy.
- After packing, customization, or export preparation is complete: Cancellation may be rejected or resolved only after written negotiation of losses already incurred.
B. Refusal to Confirm Shipping Charges
If you do not confirm the shipping stage after goods are ready:
- The order may be held temporarily while Aeonix requests written instructions.
- Storage, re-handling, supplier penalties, or freight changes that arise during the hold period may be charged or deducted.
- Perishable, custom, or time-sensitive goods may have shorter hold periods or no practical cancellation route.
C. Force Majeure
Force majeure events (natural disasters, pandemics, government actions) are handled case by case based on recoverable costs and the current stage of the order.

If goods arrive damaged, short, or materially different from the agreed specification, contact us within 7 days of delivery or inspection availability. After review, Aeonix may offer:

Our total liability shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific order in question.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if:
- You violate these Terms of Service.
- You engage in fraudulent payment activity, abusive chargeback behavior, or deliberate misuse of the platform.
