HiMAXBATT (Shenzhen Himax Electronics Co., Ltd.) | Last updated: [2026/4/6]
Welcome to himaxbatt.com (the “Website”), operated by Shenzhen Himax Electronics Co., Ltd. (“HiMAXBATT,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Website, as well as any request for quotation (RFQ), sample order, purchase order, or OEM/ODM manufacturing agreement entered into between you (“Customer,” “you,” or “Buyer”) and HiMAXBATT. By accessing the Website or placing an order with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website or place an order.
1. Nature of Business
HiMAXBATT is a business-to-business (B2B) manufacturer specializing in custom LiFePO4, lithium-ion, Li-Po, NiMH, and sodium-ion battery packs, as well as related chargers and accessories, primarily for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) customers. These Terms are intended to apply to commercial buyers, distributors, and businesses. HiMAXBATT does not sell directly to individual end consumers for personal use, and nothing on this Website constitutes an offer to the general public.
2. Quotations and Orders
• All quotations provided by HiMAXBATT, whether via the Website, email, or other communication, are valid for the period stated in the quotation (or, if unstated, for 15 calendar days from the date of issue) and are subject to change without notice thereafter.
• A quotation does not constitute a binding offer until confirmed in writing by both parties, typically via a signed Proforma Invoice (PI), Sales Contract, or Purchase Order (PO) confirmation.
• Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) may apply to custom OEM/ODM orders. Sample orders may be subject to separate pricing, lead times, and terms, which will be confirmed prior to production.
• Product specifications, drawings, and renderings provided prior to order confirmation are for reference only and may be subject to engineering adjustments during the design review process.
3. Pricing and Payment Terms
• Prices are quoted in the currency specified on the applicable quotation (typically USD) and, unless otherwise stated, are exclusive of taxes, duties, and shipping charges, which remain the responsibility of the Customer.
• Standard payment terms for custom orders require a deposit (commonly 30%–100% of the total order value) prior to commencement of production, with the balance due prior to shipment or against shipping documents, as specified in the applicable Sales Contract. Specific terms for a given order will be confirmed in writing and may vary based on order size, customer history, and product type.
• Accepted payment methods (e.g., T/T bank transfer, L/C) will be specified on the applicable invoice or contract.
• HiMAXBATT reserves the right to suspend production or withhold shipment for any order with outstanding or overdue payment.
4. Lead Time and Production
Estimated lead times provided in quotations or on the Website are approximate and calculated from the date of deposit receipt and final confirmation of specifications, artwork, and tooling requirements (if applicable). Lead times may be affected by order volume, customization complexity, component availability, and factors outside HiMAXBATT’s reasonable control (see Section 12, Force Majeure). HiMAXBATT will make reasonable efforts to notify the Customer of any material delay.
5. Custom Designs, Tooling, and Intellectual Property
• Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any custom molds, tooling, or fixtures developed specifically for a Customer’s order remain the property of HiMAXBATT, even where the Customer has paid a tooling fee, unless full ownership transfer is separately negotiated and documented.
• Where the Customer provides proprietary specifications, drawings, trademarks, or designs (“Customer IP”) for a custom battery pack, the Customer represents and warrants that it holds the necessary rights to such Customer IP and grants HiMAXBATT a limited license to use it solely for the purpose of fulfilling the Customer’s order.
• HiMAXBATT retains ownership of its own pre-existing technology, general manufacturing know-how, and any improvements to its standard product designs, and nothing in these Terms transfers such rights to the Customer.
• All content on the Website, including text, images, graphics, and layout, is the property of HiMAXBATT or its licensors and may not be reproduced or used without prior written consent.
6. Quality Control and Inspection
• HiMAXBATT performs in-process and pre-shipment quality inspections in accordance with its internal quality control procedures and any inspection standards agreed with the Customer in writing.
• The Customer may request a pre-shipment inspection, including by a third-party inspection agency, at the Customer’s own cost, provided such inspection is arranged prior to shipment.
• Any claim regarding visible defects, shortages, or discrepancies from the confirmed specifications must be submitted in writing, with supporting evidence (e.g., photographs, inspection reports), within 7 calendar days of the Customer’s receipt of goods. Claims submitted after this period may not be honored.
7. Shipping, Delivery, and Risk of Loss
Unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Sales Contract, shipping terms will be based on standard Incoterms (e.g., EXW, FOB, CIF) as specified on the order confirmation. Risk of loss or damage to the goods passes to the Customer in accordance with the agreed Incoterm. The Customer is responsible for arranging or confirming appropriate transportation, customs clearance, and import compliance (including battery transport documentation such as UN38.3 test reports) in the destination country, unless otherwise agreed.
8. Certifications and Regulatory Compliance
• HiMAXBATT maintains and can provide, upon request, applicable certifications for its products, including but not limited to UN38.3, UL, CE, RoHS, and other certifications as noted on the Website or applicable product datasheet.
• The Customer is solely responsible for determining and complying with all import regulations, safety standards, and certification requirements applicable to the destination market and the Customer’s specific end-use application. HiMAXBATT will use commercially reasonable efforts to support additional customer-specific certification requests, which may be subject to additional cost and lead time.
9. Warranty
HiMAXBATT warrants that products will conform to the confirmed specifications and be free from material defects in workmanship under normal use for the warranty period stated in the applicable Sales Contract or product datasheet (where no period is stated, a default limited warranty period of 12 months from the date of shipment applies). This warranty does not cover damage resulting from misuse, unauthorized modification, improper storage or charging outside specified parameters, disassembly, use with incompatible chargers or battery management systems, normal capacity degradation over time, or force majeure events. HiMAXBATT’s sole obligation under this warranty is, at its option, to repair or replace the defective product or issue a credit for the affected quantity.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HIMAXBATT’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY ORDER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY THE CUSTOMER FOR THE SPECIFIC ORDER GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL HIMAXBATT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR LOSS OF DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory on which a claim is based (contract, tort, or otherwise).
11. Cancellations, Returns, and Refunds
Because HiMAXBATT products are custom-manufactured to Customer specifications, orders confirmed with a deposit and entering production generally cannot be cancelled, modified, or returned, except as expressly agreed in writing or as required by applicable law. Any request for cancellation prior to the commencement of production will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be subject to a cancellation fee to cover costs already incurred (e.g., raw materials, tooling, engineering).
12. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms (other than payment obligations) resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, labor disputes, government action, epidemic, supply chain disruption, or shortages of raw materials or components. The affected party shall notify the other party promptly and use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact.
13. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public technical, business, or pricing information disclosed by the other party in connection with an order or ongoing business relationship, and to use such information solely for the purpose of evaluating or fulfilling the relevant order, except where disclosure is required by law.
14. Website Use
You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of, the Website by any third party. HiMAXBATT does not guarantee that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components, and makes no warranties regarding the accuracy or completeness of information on the Website, which is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a binding offer.
15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms, and any Sales Contract entered into between HiMAXBATT and a Customer, shall be governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, without regard to its conflict of law principles, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the parties for a specific transaction. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or an order shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation; if unresolved, the parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by an arbitration institution to be mutually agreed (e.g., CIETAC), with the seat of arbitration and language to be specified in the applicable Sales Contract.
16. Changes to These Terms
HiMAXBATT reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. The version posted on the Website at the time of your order or use of the Website shall govern. Continued use of the Website or placement of an order after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
