Terms of Trade
Please read these B2B wholesale supply and shipping terms carefully. All commercial contract agreements are bound by these conditions.
Effective Date: June 16, 2026
Version: 2.1 (Green Clay Edition)
1. Scope & Definitions
These Terms of Trade govern all commercial sales, supplies, and exports of bentonite products (powder, granules, lumps) from Marjaan Minerals (Seller) to international and domestic business buyers (Buyer). All contracts, quotations, and purchase orders are subject to these terms unless explicitly agreed otherwise in a signed contract.
2. Product Quality & Mineral Specifications
Bentonite is a natural mineral product. All shipments are supplied in compliance with the specifications detailed in the corresponding batch Certificate of Analysis (COA). While Seller maintains strict laboratory loops, slight natural variations in Montmorillonite content, moisture levels (standard ≤ 15%), and mesh distribution (standard 200–325 mesh) may occur within acceptable mineralogical tolerances.
3. Quotations, Pricing & FOB/CIF Terms
All commercial price quotations are issued on either an FOB (Free on Board) or CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) basis, primarily routing via Mundra Port or Kandla Port, Gujarat, India. Quotations remain valid for 14 calendar days from the date of issue unless specified otherwise, due to fluctuations in international ocean freight rates and local transport overheads.
4. Packaging & Cargo Logistics
Standard packaging consists of heavy-duty industrial Jumbo bags (1.0 MT to 1.25 MT) or 25kg multi-layer paper bags stacked on heat-treated pallets. Seller ensures secure container stuffing and loading at Gujarat ports. Risk of loss passes to Buyer upon cargo delivery past the ship's rail at the loading port for FOB agreements, or at the discharge port for CIF agreements.
5. Payment Terms & Letters of Credit
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, standard B2B payment terms are 30% advance deposit via Telegraphic Transfer (T/T), with the remaining 70% balance payable against shipping documents (CAD), or via an Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight, confirmed by a prime international bank.
6. Quality Inspection & Claims
Buyer may arrange third-party inspection (e.g., SGS) at the loading port prior to vessel departure at Buyer's expense. Any quality, weight, or quantity discrepancy claims must be submitted to Seller in writing within 15 calendar days of cargo arrival at the destination port, accompanied by certified inspection reports and sample analysis.
7. Governing Law & Dispute Jurisdiction
These Terms of Trade and all related sales agreements shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any legal disputes, mediation, or arbitration arising from trade contracts shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Kutch (Gujarat), India.
