Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: March 2026

1. Scope of Services

Astratech Solutions operates as a sourcing facilitator, quality assurance auditor, and Exporter of Record within India. By submitting a Request for Quotation (RFQ) or engaging our services, you agree that Astratech Solutions acts as an intermediary coordinating with Tier-1 and SME manufacturers, and managing local logistics.


2. Intellectual Property (IP) Protection

The client retains all legal rights, titles, and ownership over any schematics, CAD files, or technical designs shared with Astratech Solutions. No IP will be distributed to manufacturing partners without the explicit execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).


3. Commodity-Specific Compliance

Astratech manages local compliance verifications tailored to the client's industry sector. However, final import compliance rests with the client. Our protocols include:

  • Automotive & Hardware: Verification of TS16949 standards and metallurgical lab testing.
  • Electronics: Enforcement of RoHS and CE compliance standards.
  • Agriculture: Verification of APEDA registration, cold-chain documentation, and Phytosanitary certificates.

4. Quality Assurance and Liability

Astratech Solutions conducts Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI) utilizing standardized Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL) methodologies. Once goods pass PSI and are loaded onto export vessels, Astratech’s liability for physical product damage or defects transfers to the freight carrier or is governed by the specific Incoterms (e.g., FOB, CIF) agreed upon in the final contract.


5. Escrow and Payments

To shield clients from local fraud, Astratech Solutions acts as the financial buffer. All payments are remitted to our secure corporate entity. We absorb currency fluctuations as agreed in the final Pro Forma Invoice and manage factory advances directly. Down payments are non-refundable once tooling or mass production has commenced.
