Terms

Last updated: June 25, 2026

Scope of Services

GINECHIP connects buyers with semiconductor wafer substrate suppliers and process service providers globally. We act as a supplier, distributor, and sourcing agent for semiconductor substrates and process services. We also provide process services directly, including but not limited to thin-film deposition, photolithography, wet and dry etching, wafer bonding, wafer bumping, and wafer reclaim. These Terms apply to all use of our website and services.

Quotations and Pricing

All quotations provided by GINECHIP are valid for 30 days unless otherwise stated. Prices are subject to change without notice due to fluctuations in raw material costs, exchange rates, or other market conditions. Quotations are based on the specifications, quantities, and delivery terms provided at the time of inquiry. Any changes to these parameters may result in revised pricing. All prices are quoted in USD unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Orders and Acceptance

All orders are subject to acceptance by GINECHIP. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion. An order is considered accepted only upon written confirmation from GINECHIP, which may be in the form of an order acknowledgment or proforma invoice. Minimum order quantities may apply to certain products or services. Custom or special-order items are non-cancellable and non-returnable once production has commenced.

Delivery and Shipping

Delivery dates are estimates and are not guaranteed. GINECHIP shall not be liable for delays in delivery due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to supply chain disruptions, customs clearance delays, and force majeure events. Shipping terms shall be as specified in the quotation or order confirmation, typically EXW (Ex Works), FCA (Free Carrier), or DAP (Delivered at Place) per Incoterms 2020. Risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer in accordance with the applicable Incoterm. We strongly recommend that buyers obtain appropriate shipping insurance.

Product Specifications

Product specifications, including but not limited to resistivity, thickness, surface finish, and crystal orientation, are as stated in the applicable product documentation or quotation. Due to the nature of semiconductor manufacturing, minor variations within industry-standard tolerances (typically per SEMI standards) are acceptable and shall not constitute a defect. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify that products meet their specific application requirements before use. GINECHIP makes no warranty that products are fit for any particular purpose unless expressly agreed in writing.

Warranty and Returns

GINECHIP warrants that products will conform to the agreed specifications at the time of delivery. Any claim for non-conforming products must be made in writing within 14 days of receipt of the goods. Failure to notify within this period shall constitute acceptance of the products. Our sole obligation for valid warranty claims shall be, at our option, to replace the non-conforming products or refund the purchase price. This warranty does not cover damage caused by improper handling, storage, processing, or use. All returns require prior written authorization and a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GINECHIP shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the use of our products or services. Our total aggregate liability for any claims relating to products or services shall not exceed the purchase price paid by the buyer for the specific products or services giving rise to the claim. These limitations apply regardless of the theory of liability, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise.

Intellectual Property

All content on the GINECHIP website, including text, graphics, logos, images, product descriptions, and technical documentation, is the property of GINECHIP or its content suppliers and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any content without prior written consent. The sale of products does not convey any license or transfer of intellectual property rights, whether express or implied.

Export Compliance

Certain products and technologies offered by GINECHIP may be subject to export control laws and regulations, including but not limited to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Buyers are responsible for compliance with all applicable export and import laws. Products may not be exported or re-exported to embargoed countries, restricted end-users, or for prohibited end-uses without appropriate government authorization.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong SAR, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong SAR. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply.

Amendments

GINECHIP reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the website. Your continued use of the website or services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify registered users via email.
