Need a human expert to review your contract?
Send us your contract and we'll review it personally — covering all the risk areas, suggesting specific edits, and explaining what the clauses actually mean under Chinese law.
- Review of your POs, PIs and draft purchasing agreements
- Drafting bilingual purchasing, OEM / ODM and manufacturing contracts
- Key clauses for delivery, inspection, defects, penalties and refund
- IP and tooling protection (moulds, designs, trademarks, branding)
- Structuring the "first deal" (deposit, balance, milestones) to reduce risk
A solid contract still needs a verified supplier.
Contract review and supplier verification work best together. A well-written contract means nothing if the company signing it isn't real, registered, or financially stable.
Common questions about Chinese supplier contract review
What does a Chinese supplier contract review cover?
Our contract review covers payment terms and deposit structure, delivery timelines and quality obligations, inspection and rejection rights, liability and default consequences, dispute resolution and governing law, and bilingual inconsistencies between the Chinese and English versions. These are the areas where overseas buyers most commonly lose protection.
What is the difference between AI and manual contract review?
The AI contract review is instant and self-service — you upload the contract and receive a structured risk report within minutes. The manual review is done by a China-side expert with 15 years of experience who reads the contract personally, identifies issues the AI may miss, and delivers written recommendations with specific edits within 48 hours.
Can you review a contract written only in Chinese?
Yes. We read Chinese contracts in their original form. Many overseas buyers only receive an English translation, which can omit or soften key clauses. We always review the Chinese version when it exists, since that is usually the version that governs in a Chinese court.
What are the most common contract risks with Chinese suppliers?
The most common issues we find are: deposits that are too large with no recourse if goods are wrong, vague quality standards that leave no basis for a claim, missing inspection windows, dispute clauses that favour the supplier, and bilingual contracts where the Chinese and English versions say different things.
Do I need a contract review if I only have a purchase order?
Yes. A purchase order is a legally binding document. Many overseas buyers treat POs as informal, but in China they can be used as the basis for a dispute. We review POs and proforma invoices as well as full contracts.
How much does a Chinese supplier contract review cost?
AI contract review is $29 and delivers results instantly. Manual contract review by a China-side expert is $300 flat and is delivered within 48 hours. There are no hourly rates and no hidden fees.
What if the supplier refuses to change the contract after review?
That is useful information in itself. We tell you which clauses are genuinely high risk and which are standard practice. If the supplier refuses to adjust a high-risk clause, you can decide whether to proceed knowing what protection you are giving up — or use it as a signal that the supplier is not negotiating in good faith.
