Written for a reader, not for a court. Ask us about anything here and we will explain it in plain language.
The detail
No Drama China is a trade name of UIC International B.V., a private limited company registered in the Netherlands with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under number 42164611, VAT number NL869997117B01. "We" on this page means that company.
These terms cover using this website and asking us for a quote. They do not cover a sourcing project itself.
A project runs on a written scope agreed before work starts, and that scope wins over anything on this page if the two ever disagree. This page is the front door, not the contract.
We research, source, verify and inspect industrial machinery in China for European buyers. We act for the buyer.
That has a consequence worth stating plainly: we can and do recommend against a purchase. If the commercial or technical case does not survive comparison with the alternatives, saying so is the service, not a failure of it.
We are not the manufacturer and we do not resell machines. The sale contract for a machine is between you and the factory unless a written scope says otherwise.
Everything on this site is general information. It is not technical, legal, tax or compliance advice for your situation, and no page here creates a professional relationship.
Machine specifications, output figures and arithmetic shown on this site are illustrative. Where a page works through a calculation, it is demonstrating a method, not making a claim about a machine you might buy.
Nothing on this site is an offer. A price becomes an offer when it is written into a scope with your name on it.
The sourcing fee is 3 to 8 percent of factory goods value. Where a project sits in that band depends on service level, project risk and how much responsibility sits with us, and it is written into the scope before any work starts.
The minimum engagement is 1,500 euro, invoiced before work begins and credited against the percentage fee.
The balance is invoiced when the dossier or inspection report is delivered, payable within 14 days. You see the work before you pay for most of it.
If you cancel before we begin work at the factory, you owe the minimum and nothing further. If you cancel after that, you owe the minimum plus work already done, itemised.
Freight, duty, tax, commissioning and site work are separate lines at cost. They are not blended into a machine price, because a blended number hides which part is the machine and which part is logistics.
We do not guarantee that a machine complies with EU requirements. We help identify which documents, machine details and checks are needed so gaps are found before shipment rather than after installation, and we coordinate specialist review where it is needed. A blanket compliance guarantee would be worthless and we will not give one.
We do not guarantee factory lead times, production capacity or performance figures. Those belong to the manufacturer. What we do is test them against evidence and tell you what the evidence showed.
We do not guarantee an outcome from an inspection. An inspection reports what was found on the day, against criteria agreed in writing beforehand.
The information you give us shapes what we look for. If the requirement, material, output or budget changes, tell us, because a verification aimed at the old brief can pass while the machine is wrong for the new one.
Decisions are yours. We do the work, show the reasoning and name what is unresolved. Whether to buy, from whom, and at what price is your commercial call.
We do not disclose your requirements, quotations or commercial terms to anyone outside the project without asking you first.
When we approach manufacturers we describe the requirement, not the buyer, unless you have told us we may name you.
The text, layout, photographs and illustrations on this site belong to us. Please do not republish them as your own.
Reports, dossiers and inspection records we produce for you under a scope are yours to use for your own purposes.
Our liability for a claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before it arose. The fee is a small percentage of what a machine costs, and a cap has to bear some relation to what we were paid to do.
We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss: lost production, lost profit, lost contracts or downtime.
None of this limits our liability for intent or deliberate recklessness. Dutch law does not allow that to be capped and we would not ask you to accept it if it did.
Dutch law applies to these terms and to any project we do for you.
Disputes go to the competent Dutch court for the place where the company has its registered office. Before anyone files anything, write to us. Most of what reaches a court could have been settled by a phone call two months earlier.
