MaterialBridge Sourcing Terms of Service

Published 26 October 2026. These terms describe the use of this website and the initial sourcing inquiry process. Any purchase, paid sourcing service or supply arrangement needs its own written scope and commercial agreement between the relevant parties.

Independent service role

MaterialBridge Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner for business buyers. Website content and catalog entries help organize requests for proposed factories. They are not an offer of owned stock, manufacturer identity, authorized-distributor status, supplier endorsement or a statement that a product is suitable for every application.

Inquiries and proposed specifications

Provide information you are entitled to share. Identify estimated quantities, open specifications and desired dates clearly. Submission requests correspondence; it does not reserve inventory, approve a sample, create a purchase order or commit a factory. Availability, minimum quantities, price, delivery scope, payment and timing need supplier confirmation.

Samples and acceptance

Buyers and suppliers should agree sample identity, approval stages, reviewer, test methods, accepted tolerances and release conditions in writing. A swatch, lab dip, strike-off and pre-production sample answer different questions. A previous lot or collection brochure does not establish the conformity of a later proposed bulk article.

Quotations and optional preferences

Compare the same composition, construction, usable width, quantity, packing and delivered scope. Optional budgets and high-end, mid-range or economical supplier preferences are planning inputs and are not verified supplier grades. No website statement promises a lowest price, fixed savings, inventory level or delivery outcome.

Documents and external references

Supplier and product documents remain subject to their actual issuer, validity, article, site and scope. External links provide reference material; a standards listing is not a product test result. Buyers should arrange qualified review of the requirements that apply to their exact project and destination.

Website use and correspondence

Do not submit unlawful material, impersonate another business or interfere with the inquiry service. Keep confidential production details limited to what is needed for initial review, and discuss an appropriate handling arrangement before sharing restricted documents. Read the Privacy Policy for how inquiry information is used.

Questions about an engagement

Use the contact form to ask about these terms or a proposed service scope. Resolve responsibilities, fees, inspection and delivery arrangements before a commercial commitment. If a written agreement is proposed, review that agreement as the governing record for the specified engagement.
