The Website is primarily directed to business customers (B2B), including establishments and companies, for the purpose of presenting the Company’s products and services and facilitating Requests for Quotation.
The Website does not display final prices for products or services and does not enable direct online purchasing. Instead, it provides a “Request a Quote” form to contact the sales team and obtain a customized Quotation.
When dealing with individuals (natural persons), the Company will observe the applicable laws and regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia relating to consumer protection and e-commerce, at a minimum level that does not conflict with the nature of the products and made-to-order manufacturing.

All information published on the Website – including, without limitation:
-
Product descriptions,
-
Technical specifications,
-
Images and illustrative drawings,
-
Size and capacity tables,
-
Descriptive articles and marketing materials –
is provided for informational and marketing purposes only.
No description, image, or content published on the Website shall be considered a legally binding offer or a final specification of any product.
The only binding reference with respect to technical specifications, quantities, prices, warranty terms, return and exchange policy, validity period of the offer, and any other special conditions, is the approved Quotation and any written contracts signed with the Customer.
If there is any difference or inconsistency between what is published on the Website and what is stated in the approved Quotation, the approved Quotation shall prevail.
6. Requests for Quotation and Contracting
The Customer may submit a Request for Quotation via the “Request a Quote” form on the Website or via other published communication channels.
Submitting a Request for Quotation through the Website does not create any obligation on the Company to execute the order or supply products. It is deemed an initial request for information only.
After receiving the Customer’s request, the Company may, at its discretion, contact the Customer to clarify the requirements, confirm specifications and quantities, and obtain any necessary technical or commercial details.
The Company will then issue an official Quotation setting out, at a minimum and as applicable:
-
Quotation number and date,
-
Description and specifications of the products or services,

Quantities,

Prices and discounts (if any),
-
Payment terms,
-
Delivery terms, place and expected date(s),

No contractual obligation shall arise on the Company towards the Customer unless and until:
-
The Customer approves the Quotation in writing (by signature/stamp/written or electronic confirmation), or
-
The Customer issues an official purchase order expressly accepting the Quotation,
and the Company accepts such order in accordance with its internal procedures.
The Company reserves the right to reject any Request for Quotation or to modify its content prior to approval, without incurring any liability towards the Customer.
7. Prices and Discounts
Final product prices are not displayed on the Website. Prices are determined individually for each Customer and each order through the approved Quotation.
Prices and discounts may vary depending on, among other things:
-
Quantities requested,
-
Specific technical specifications,
-
Payment terms,
-
Delivery terms,
-
Project or delivery location.
As quantities increase, the Company may offer special discounts in line with its internal commercial policies. However, the Company is not obliged to grant any specific discount unless it is expressly stated in the approved Quotation.
Any previous prices, discounts, verbal agreements, or informal messages are not valid or binding unless expressly included in the latest approved Quotation or in a written contract between the parties.

The only binding reference for the terms and conditions relating to:
-
Returns,

Warranty,

Validity period of the Quotation,
and any conditions related thereto, is what is expressly stated in the approved Quotation or the signed contract between the Company and the Customer.
Any general statements or clarifications appearing on the Website or in marketing campaigns about returns, exchanges, warranty, or validity periods are for guidance only and are not binding unless they are included in the approved Quotation or contract.
In all cases, the Company will observe, as a minimum, applicable laws and regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia relating to consumer protection and e-commerce where the Customer is a natural person (consumer), to the extent that this does not conflict with the nature of made-to-order products and the applicable statutory exceptions.
For products that are manufactured or modified specifically at the Customer’s request or according to the Customer’s specifications, the Quotations or contracts may stipulate special restrictions on returns, cancellations, or modifications after production has commenced, and such specific terms as set out in the Quotation/contract shall apply.
Where applicable, a sample is produced and approved before delivery of the full required quantity, and the approved sample shall be the reference for conformity with the agreed specifications.
9. Payment and Delivery (General Framework)
Payment terms (such as advance payment, milestone payments, credit period, letters of credit, and other arrangements) shall be specified in the approved Quotation for each order.
Delivery terms, delivery locations and dates, shipping method, and the allocation of transport, insurance, and handling costs shall be specified in the Quotation or contract.
Unless otherwise stated in the approved Quotation or contract, the risk of loss or damage passes to the Customer upon delivery of the products to the carrier or upon delivery at the Customer’s site, as indicated in the Quotation/contract.
10. Customer Obligations
