Trade Terms
These terms govern the supply of natural stone by Malujiwala Stone Company and Malujiwala Industries, Kota, Rajasthan, India.
Please read alongside your order confirmation, which takes precedence where the two differ.
Quotations are valid for the period stated on the quotation and are subject to material availability at the time of order. Prices are quoted per the agreed Incoterm and do not include duties, taxes or charges levied in the destination country unless expressly stated.
An order is accepted only once we issue a written order confirmation or proforma invoice. Minimum order quantities apply and are stated at the time of quotation. Any variation to a confirmed order must be agreed in writing.
Payment terms are as stated on the proforma invoice. Production is scheduled on receipt of the agreed advance. Documents are released against the balance payment or against the agreed instrument. Bank charges outside India are for the buyer's account.
All products are natural stone. Variation in colour, veining, marking, texture and thickness between slabs, between crates and between production batches is an inherent characteristic of the material and is not a defect. Samples and photographs indicate general character only and are not a guarantee of exact match. Buyers specifying at scale are advised to view a full crate or a range sample before confirming.
Sizes are nominal. Riven material carries greater dimensional and thickness tolerance than sawn or calibrated material by nature of how it is produced. Applicable tolerances are stated on the order confirmation.
Goods are supplied in seaworthy wooden crates or on pallets as specified in the order confirmation. Packing is designed for sea transit and mechanical handling. Special packing requirements must be agreed in writing and may carry additional cost.
Lead times quoted are estimates given in good faith and run from receipt of the agreed advance and confirmation of all specification details. We are not liable for delay caused by shipping line schedules, port congestion, container availability, customs procedures or any cause beyond our reasonable control.
Risk passes in accordance with the agreed Incoterm. Title in the goods does not pass to the buyer until payment has been received in full.
The buyer or the buyer's appointed agent may inspect goods before dispatch. Claims relating to quantity, breakage or visible condition must be notified in writing, with photographs, within the period stated on the order confirmation from the date of arrival at the discharge port. Claims will not be considered once material has been installed. Goods must not be returned without our prior written agreement.
Orders for material already cut, calibrated or processed to the buyer's specification cannot be cancelled. Where cancellation of other material is agreed, costs already incurred are payable.
Neither party is liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including quarry closure, government action, export restriction, natural disaster, labour disruption or shipping disruption.
These terms are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Kota, Rajasthan have exclusive jurisdiction, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

To complete: this is a solid standard draft for an Indian stone exporter, but it is a draft. Have your lawyer or CA review it before publishing, and tell me your actual payment terms, claim window and MOQ so I can put real numbers in clauses 2, 3 and 9.
Speak to us before you order. We would rather answer it now than argue about it later.
