Mutual Growth
Partner Contract Guidelines (Revised on 2020.02.26)
1. Purpose
  • This guideline aims to establish reasonable and fair trade practices by presenting mutual compliance requirements between the company (hereinafter referred to as "Party A") and companies starting transactions with the company (hereinafter referred to as "Party B") in the process of contract conclusion.
2. Partner Selection Methods
  • Companies newly registered in Party A's partner pool must sign a basic transaction agreement and undergo a selection process for each item during new product development to be designated as a development partner and begin transactions. The selection methods are as follows.

    In the form of designated competitive contracts, RFQs (Request for Quotation) are sent to participating companies online or offline, and the company submitting the lowest quotation is selected.
  • 2.2 Deliberation Bidding (Restricted Competitive Contract)
    In the form of restricted competitive contracts, a deliberation committee evaluates key factors such as price, quality capabilities (grade evaluation), design specifications, and development capabilities to select a partner.
  • 2.3 Strategic Procurement (Private Contract)
    In the form of private contracts, specialized companies are selected for items deemed necessary due to policies such as exclusive technology, patents, or the need for non-competitive procurement.
3. Contract Infrastructure

    • Party A and Party B must conclude a contract in advance, ensuring that both parties sign and seal the contract before initiating any work related to delivery.

  • 4.2 Reasonable Price Determination
    • The unit price of parts is determined through mutual agreement between Party A and Party B, considering factors such as quantity, quality, specifications, delivery schedule, payment methods, material prices, labor costs, market trends, customs duties, and reasonable management costs.
    • The determined price includes costs such as packaging, shipping, handling, insurance, and customs duties to the delivery location, unless otherwise agreed.
    • During the contract period, if there are significant fluctuations (e.g., raw material prices changing by more than 5%), either Party A or Party B may request a price adjustment after 60 days from the contract's start or amendment. If an agreement is not reached within 30 days, the matter can be referred to the Subcontract Dispute Mediation Committee.
    • All price adjustment requests must be accompanied by supporting evidence in written form (including electronic documents).
  • 4.3 Clear Delivery Deadlines and Procedures
    • Delivery deadlines refer to the date agreed upon by both parties for delivery to the designated location under each purchase order.
    • Party B must ensure the delivery of the agreed quantity according to the defined procedures.
    • Any deviations in delivery (early, delayed, or insufficient quantity) must be promptly addressed through mutual consultation.
  • 4.4 Objective Inspection Standards

    • In cases where retrieval costs exceed the item's price, Party A may dispose of the defective items on-site and notify Party B in writing.
  • 4.7 Contract Termination and Cancellation
    • Grounds for contract termination or cancellation must be agreed upon by both parties. Termination without prior notice applies in cases such as bankruptcy, regulatory suspension, or mutual acknowledgment of contract infeasibility due to force majeure.
    • Termination requiring prior notice applies to cases such as significant breaches of the contract or delays in delivery caused by either party.
