By submitting your order, you acknowledge that you have read, accepted and agreed to be bound by these Terms.

1. Price and Payment Terms
The total price and all other related charges for Products will be set out in your purchase receipt. Prices offered or advertised do not include shipping and handling or applicable sales taxes, which will be added to the price you pay. United Diesel will also provide confirmation of your order to the email address you provided during your registration process.
All payment and credit terms are within United Diesel’s sole discretion and will be as specified during your purchase process. Unless otherwise specified, payment must be made in full and received by United Diesel prior to United Diesel’s acceptance of an order for Products. If United Diesel permits and agrees to credit terms, invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice, or such other period as agreed by United Diesel during the order process. United Diesel may invoice parts of an order separately. Any price estimate or quotation provided by United Diesel will only be valid for the period stated for the estimate or quotation.
Advertisements on this Website are invitations to you to make offers to purchase products and services and are not offers to sell. A properly-completed order on this Website by you constitutes only your offer to purchase the Products in your order, even if United Diesel has processed payment for such offer. Your order will be accepted only if and when United Diesel sends a shipping notice email to the email address you provided during your registration or order process. If United Diesel does not accept your order in whole or in part, United Diesel will refund any amounts paid by you to United Diesel for the order or part of the order not accepted.
Any price offers or advertisements given by United Diesel will be valid for the period stated on the offer or advertisement, except that United Diesel reserves the right to reject any sale for any reason, including without limitation for a misprint in the price offer or advertisement.
You are responsible for any applicable goods and services and harmonized sales taxes, and all other taxes or government fees associated with your order. Separate charges for taxes if any, will be shown on the order invoice.

For orders shipped by a carrier selected by United Diesel and subject to Section 10 (Force Majeure) below, if delivery occurs later than guaranteed date in our order confirmation, and provided such delay is not the result of circumstances for which you are responsible, United Diesel agrees that you are entitled to liquidated damages in an amount equivalent to 0.5% of the price for the delayed Product, ordered for each full week of delay. The maximum liquidated damages shall never exceed 5% of the price for the delayed Product order.

8. Governing Law, Disputes and Language

These Terms and the subject matter of these Terms and all related matters will be governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, excluding any laws that implement the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the U.S. Uniform Commercial Code, and excluding any conflict of laws rules.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, unless United Diesel agrees otherwise, any claim, dispute or controversy, whether in contract or tort, pursuant to statute or regulation, or otherwise, and whether pre-existing, present or future, arising out of or relating to the Products, this Website, the General Terms and these Terms (each, a “Claim”) will be determined by final and binding arbitration to the exclusion of the courts in accordance with the rules and procedures of the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) in Beijing. The arbitration shall be conducted before a panel of three arbitrators. Each party shall appoint one arbitrator, and the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the Chairman of CIETAC. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon both parties. The foregoing does not, however, preclude United Diesel from seeking injunctive relief in other jurisdictions when necessary to protect its interests. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you waive any right to a jury trial.
