We did not sign a shipping agreement with Party A. After the calibration of the instrument circuits was completed, Party A kept asking us to handle the shipping process, but since no such agreement was in place, we did not go ahead with it!
Don’t you understand what the original poster meant? Is shipping equivalent to storage and transportation? Well, no agreement has been signed, but you must have a purchase contract; there are basic contractual elements such as the delivery location and the inspection agreement. Once inspection is completed according to these terms, the risk is transferred to your side. If the delivery location of the equipment is the other party’s facility, the risk passes to you once the inspection is completed at their site; you will be responsible for any issues that arise with the equipment.
Reply to 2# jlszhoujidai: No, it’s for shipping after testing
I guess the original poster is likely the construction company, and the construction contract includes a task related to driving. It depends on the requirements of the specific contract. If insurance is required, then a separate insurance contract must be signed; such a contract will specify the detailed professional divisions, settlement methods, and so on. Please
Reply to 3# Abing Yirou: Oh, what’s meant by awareness here is the issue of responsibility allocation after testing. I think that in the absence of a signed agreement, according to the contract, the party to whom the ownership of the equipment belongs is also the party that bears the responsibility； Additionally, supplementary agreements can be reached through negotiation in accordance with the principles of good faith and mutual benefit.
Maintenance usually refers to the routine inspections required for the proper operation of production facilities, as well as the daily upkeep of equipment. From the start of the automatic commissioning, the \"operation maintenance\" phase begins; the duration of this phase is specified in the contract and is generally not less than one month
Reply to 5# jlszhoujidai: Our company is involved in both construction work and after-sales support. For the construction phase, we are responsible, as stipulated in the contract, up to the point when the equipment starts operating and the products are produced to acceptable standards, after which a 24-hour quality verification period follows. For the shipping service portion, a shipping contract is signed, which details the division of tasks among various professionals, the daily workload, the qualifications required for the staff, the settlement methods, labor costs, and so on.

First of all, I’m not sure what type of organization your company is. If it’s a construction company that has completed the work, generally, as per the requirements, your company needs to ensure that the system operates continuously for 72 hours from the start of work before it’s considered acceptable. This is a type of insurance; generally, these details are included in the contract when you take on the job. The second option is that your company specializes in maintenance work. Currently, some organizations do not have their own maintenance teams, so they are forced to seek out companies specialized in maintenance services. In such cases, a separate contract must be signed, under which you are required to carry out maintenance work for them within the time frame specified in the contract. This is also freight forwarding.
