This document is the standard framework term for manufacturing partners who submit quotes or accept production work through the Urety.co partner portal. Partner onboarding, quote-form acceptance, platform assignment, or a separately signed agreement may make these terms effective. If written order-specific terms expressly conflict with this document, the order-specific terms prevail only for that order.
1. Scope and contract hierarchy
This agreement covers opportunity review, price and lead-time quoting, accepted production work, quality control, packaging, delivery, rework/returns, and payment processes. It is read together with the Terms of Use, Sales and Manufacturing Service Agreement, Non-Disclosure Agreement, and the order-specific technical specification.
2. Partner status and independent contractor relationship
The manufacturing partner acts as an independent contractor. This document does not create a partnership, agency, franchise, employment relationship, or authority to bind Uretyco. The partner remains responsible for its personnel, facility, equipment, health and safety practices, tax obligations, and legal compliance.
3. Quoting and capacity statement
By submitting a quote, the partner confirms that it has reviewed the released files, drawings, tolerances, quantity, material, finish, delivery region, quality expectation, and any DFM warnings with reasonable care. The quote must state the workable price, lead time, validity period, assumptions, and any exception that may affect production.
4. Accepted work and production start
A job is accepted when Uretyco assigns it to the partner in writing or through the platform. After acceptance the partner must be ready to start production and must notify Uretyco before production if there is a critical ambiguity, dimensional conflict, material supply issue, or delivery risk. Unauthorized changes, extra production, or direct customer negotiation are not allowed.
5. Quality, specifications, and records
Production must follow the order specification, CAD/drawing data, selected process, accepted tolerances, and order notes. The partner keeps reasonable measurement records, material certificates, process records, photos, and shipping documents and provides them to Uretyco upon request.
6. Delivery, packaging, and delay notice
The partner packages parts to prevent damage, provides traceable shipment information, and informs Uretyco as soon as delay risk appears. The promised delivery date must realistically include production, required quality control, and packaging time.
7. Payment, invoicing, and set-off
Payment is handled according to the accepted quote, order state, quality approval, invoice accuracy, and any return or rework process. Reasonable costs caused by defective production, short shipment, unauthorized changes, quality disputes, or delay may be set off against payment.
8. Confidentiality, IP, and customer relationship
The partner protects CAD files, drawings, customer identity, prices, production notes, DFM outputs, and platform data as confidential information. Project data may be used only for the relevant quote or order. Direct off-platform customer solicitation, extra part production, copying, reverse engineering, or public reference use is prohibited without written permission.
9. Subcontracting, compliance, and audit
Subcontracting is permitted only when necessary for the work, data sharing is minimal, and equivalent confidentiality and quality obligations apply. Uretyco may request reasonable records, suspend partner status, or stop new assignments when quality, security, confidentiality, or compliance risk appears.
10. Suspension, termination, and surviving obligations
Uretyco may suspend or terminate partner access for quality breach, confidentiality breach, unauthorized customer contact, misleading capacity statements, repeated delay, unlawful activity, or payment/compliance risk. Confidentiality, IP, record retention, dispute, and payment reconciliation obligations survive the end of the relationship.
