1. General Provisions
1.1 Policy Purpose
This policy defines the standards and processes for product quality, packaging, shipping, inspection, and after-sales service for KangHong Sports (hereinafter "the Supplier"), as a source factory, when selling footballs, basketballs, volleyballs, sportswear, and related products to global buyers (hereinafter "the Buyer") via cross-border e-commerce. This policy is an integral and binding part of any sales agreement between the parties.
1.2 Scope of Application
This policy applies to all orders placed through the Supplier's official website or authorized partner platforms. The Buyer's act of placing an order constitutes acceptance of all terms herein.
1.3 Definitions
2. Product Quality Requirements & Technical Standards
We commit that all goods ex-factory meet high-quality standards, adhering to the following hierarchy:
2.1 Highest Priority – Buyer Requirements & Approved Sample
Product quality must first and fully conform to the mutually Approved Sample and any specific technical/design requirements provided in writing by the Buyer. This is our fundamental quality control basis.
2.2 Basic Compliance – Mandatory National Standards
All products must comply with the relevant mandatory national standards of the People's Republic of China.
2.3 Professional Performance – Voluntary Product Standards
Beyond the above, our products actively adhere to higher voluntary national, industry, or association standards to ensure professional performance.
Sportswear: Production and inspection reference standards such as Knitted Sportswear (GB/T 22853-2019) and Knitted Swimwear (FZ/T 73013-2017). We monitor updates like Sports Bras (FZ/T 74002-2025).
Ball Products: Conform to relevant national or sports-governing-body certification standards, or as specified by the Buyer.
2.4 Quality Liability
As the Supplier, we bear final responsibility for the quality of goods ex-factory. We guarantee that under normal conditions of transport, storage, and reasonable use, the materials, workmanship, and performance will conform to this section's standards for a reasonable product lifespan from delivery.
3. Product Packaging Requirements & Cost Responsibility
3.1 Packaging Standards
All products are packed in export-grade corrugated cartons suitable for long-haul cross-border shipping, ensuring sturdiness and moisture resistance.
Internal packaging uses eco-friendly fill (air pillows, foam) to prevent movement and abrasion.
Outer cartons feature clear markings: product name, SKU/model, quantity, gross/net weight, dimensions, and necessary handling warnings.
We follow economical and sustainable packaging principles, optimizing for safety while avoiding excess.
3.2 Cost Responsibility
All costs for standard carton and internal packaging materials described herein are borne entirely by the Supplier and are included in the product price. The Buyer incurs no additional charges.
4. Shipping, Inspection & Quality Claim Process
4.1 Shipping
Production concludes within the agreed delivery period. Shipment is arranged after the Buyer's payment is confirmed received in full in the Supplier's bank account. Logistics method and costs are as per the sales contract/order.
4.2 Inspection Method & Standard
The Buyer must inspect Bulk Order Goods against the Approved Sample as the sole physical reference.
Random Sampling is recommended: inspect representative units randomly selected from the delivered batch. The sampling ratio may follow industry practice or prior agreement.
4.3 General Quality Claim Period & Procedure
The Buyer must perform an initial inspection within 3 calendar days (72 hours) of signing for receipt.
If obvious quantity shortages or quality discrepancies (versus the Approved Sample) not caused by transit are found, notify us immediately in writing (e.g., email) with clear photo/video evidence.
Important: Failure to submit a written claim within this 3-day period constitutes acceptance of the batch's quantity and surface quality.
4.4 Special Provisions for Balls & Consumables
Important Notice: Normal use of footballs, basketballs, volleyballs, etc., causes wear, deformation, soiling, or appearance changes after inflation. Such signs are normal wear and tear, not defects.
Strict Claim Period: For manufacturing defects in balls (e.g., separation, leakage, inner bladder noise, grossly uneven seams apparent without use), a written claim with valid evidence must be submitted within 3 calendar days of receipt.
Post-Use Disclaimer: Any substantive use—including inflation, bouncing, field use, or training/match play—voids eligibility for claims regarding appearance, sphericity, bounce consistency, etc. Wear from use is not covered.
4.5 Claim Resolution
We will acknowledge a valid claim within 2 business days and investigate.
If confirmed as our responsibility, we will arrange return/replacement, replenishment, or negotiated compensation, covering return shipping costs.
Disputes over standard compliance may be resolved by a mutually agreed, independent third-party lab; costs are borne by the liable party.
5. Disclaimer of Liability
The Supplier is not liable under this quality assurance in these circumstances:

3. Return Types, Timeframes & Handling
Return requests are categorized into three main types, as detailed in the table below:
Return Types & Handling Summary
Quality Issue Return: For manufacturing defects (separation, leakage, broken stitches, etc.). Must be requested within 10 calendar days of delivery. Supplier provides free repair, replacement, or full refund upon verification.
Wrong/Missing Item Return: For items that do not match the ordered specification, model, or quantity. Must be requested within 7 calendar days of delivery. Supplier arranges replacement or reshipment upon verification.
Non-Quality Issue Return: Returns initiated by the Buyer (e.g., change of needs, forecast error). Generally not accepted for B2B wholesale. Case-by-case handling requires prior written agreement, with all related costs borne by the Buyer.
3.1 Special Provisions for Ball Products
Normal Wear & Tear Disclaimer: Normal use of footballs, basketballs, and volleyballs inevitably causes wear, deformation, soiling, or appearance changes after inflation. Such signs are normal wear and tear, not product quality issues, and are not covered under this return policy.
Strict Defect Claim Period: To claim a manufacturing defect in a ball product (e.g., separation or leakage appearing without use), a written objection with clear evidence must be submitted within 3 calendar days of receipt. Once a product is inflated, bounced, or used for training/a match, it is deemed used, and the Supplier will not accept any subsequent return requests.
4. Non-Returnable Items
To ensure fair trade, the following items are not eligible for return (except for verified quality issues):
5. Logistics Cost Responsibility for Returns/Replacements
5.1 General Principle
If a return or replacement is necessary due to the Supplier's fault (including but not limited to product quality issues, wrong shipment, missing items), the Buyer shall advance the logistics cost for sending the goods back to the Supplier.
Important: We refuse all freight-collect (cash on delivery for freight) parcels and will not bear any costs associated with such shipments.
5.2 For Returns (Refund)
Upon receiving the returned goods and confirming their condition, the Supplier will reimburse the actual cost shown on the valid logistics cost invoice and payment proof provided by the Buyer. The reimbursement will be made to the bank account provided by the Buyer during the original purchase.
5.3 For Replacements
• Upon receiving the returned goods and confirming their condition, the Supplier will reimburse the actual cost shown on the valid logistics cost invoice and payment proof provided by the Buyer to the provided bank account.
• If the value of the replacement product is higher than the original returned product, the Buyer has the right to choose to offset this logistics cost against the price difference payable for the replacement. Any remaining balance after offset must be paid by the Buyer.
5.4 Operational Note
To facilitate cost settlement, please provide accurate bank account information along with the return/replacement request and subsequent logistics payment proof.
Shipping Advice: We recommend that the Buyer uses a traceable logistics service and purchases shipping insurance when sending return parcels to prevent loss or damage in transit. The Supplier is not liable for return parcels lost in transit that were sent without tracking services.
