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.

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.
