Last Updated: August 28, 2026

Legal Entity and Scope of These Terms

These Terms cover use of TireCoverFactory.com and general commercial practices associated with Szoneier tire cover development, manufacturing and fulfillment.

Legal Business Entity

TireCoverFactory.com is operated by Shenzhen Oneier Technology Co., Ltd. Szoneier is the international custom manufacturing brand, while Tire Cover Factory is the dedicated custom tire cover manufacturing and fulfillment division within that business structure.

Tire Cover Factory is not presented as a separate legal company. Where a quotation, proforma invoice, contract, invoice or other formal commercial document identifies the contracting entity, the legal entity shown in the applicable document governs the transaction.

The established entity relationship is:

Shenzhen Oneier Technology Co., Ltd.

→ Szoneier

→ Tire Cover Factory

→ TireCoverFactory.com

Website and Manufacturing Scope

Accessing TireCoverFactory.com is subject to the website-use portions of these Terms. Reading product information, technical articles or manufacturing guidance does not by itself create an obligation for Szoneier to manufacture a product or accept an order.

A manufacturing relationship becomes more specific as the parties approve documents such as:

Written quotation
Proforma invoice
Purchase order
Product specification
Artwork approval
Sample approval
Golden Sample
Packaging specification
QC requirement
Shipping instruction
NDA or other written agreement

Where a project-specific written agreement sets terms different from general website information, the specific written project terms should be followed for the subject they address.

How Website Information and Project Documents Work Together

Custom tire cover manufacturing develops through several approval stages. Website information provides general guidance, while an actual order is defined through written commercial and technical documents.

Website Information Is General Manufacturing Guidance

Product descriptions, material pages, FAQ answers, capacity references, lead-time examples, MOQ references and technical articles on TireCoverFactory.com are intended to explain Szoneier’s manufacturing capabilities and normal operating practices.

Such information can help with preliminary planning, but it should not be treated as a final quotation or a complete manufacturing specification.

A published material example may describe 600D Oxford, PVC, PU or marine vinyl, but a commercial order still needs the actual material selected for the project. A published lead-time reference may describe normal production conditions, but the real schedule depends on material availability, quantity, SKU count, printing, construction, approvals and packaging.

Website content therefore does not replace:

A written quotation
A proforma invoice
An approved sample
A Golden Sample
An approved specification
A signed agreement

Quotations and Proforma Invoices Define Commercial Inputs

A written quotation or PI normally identifies the commercial basis for a specific manufacturing project.

Depending on project scope, it may define:

Product:

Tire cover type, size or SKU.

Quantity:

Order quantity, set quantity or SKU breakdown.

Price:

Unit price and relevant additional charges.

Material:

Selected PVC, PU, Oxford, vinyl or another approved construction.

Printing:

Applicable branding or artwork process.

Packaging:

Unit packing, retail packaging or carton requirements.

Payment:

Deposit and balance terms.

Shipping:

Incoterm or freight arrangement where agreed.

Lead Time:

Commercial planning period based on approved project conditions.

Commercial documents should be reviewed before payment because changing one of these inputs can affect another.

Approved Specifications Define What Will Be Manufactured

Once development progresses, the manufacturing specification becomes more detailed than the commercial quotation alone.

Relevant project records may identify:

Material ID
Tire size
Pattern revision
Artwork version
Printing process
Camera version
Construction
Accessories
Packaging
QC requirements
Golden Sample

The approved specification is intended to prevent production teams from substituting a visually similar material, artwork file or construction without appropriate review.

Written Changes Should Be Recorded

Custom manufacturing projects frequently change during development. A new logo, tire size, material, camera requirement or retail package should not be treated as an informal factory-floor instruction.

Approved changes should be recorded through an updated drawing, artwork file, sample revision, specification, quotation, PI, email approval or other mutually accepted written project record.

Where project documents contain conflicting information, the parties should clarify the applicable requirement in writing before manufacturing proceeds. Any formal order-of-precedence provision contained in a signed contract or project agreement will apply according to that document.

Quotation, Pricing and Cost Changes

A tire cover quotation is based on the project information available when pricing is prepared. Material, quantity, construction, printing, packaging and logistics can all change the final commercial result.

Quotation Validity

Szoneier’s normal quotation validity reference is approximately 30 days. Selected quotations involving volatile material or logistics conditions may use a shorter reference period such as 15 days.

The validity period gives both sides a defined window for reviewing the commercial offer. A quotation that has expired may need to be updated before payment or production scheduling.

Price reconfirmation can be necessary when there has been a significant change in:

Raw material cost
Exchange rate
Freight
Packaging
Supplier pricing
Project specification

The applicable validity period should be stated on the quotation whenever possible.

Project Changes Can Require Repricing

The quoted price assumes the specification used during calculation remains substantially unchanged. Szoneier’s internal commercial rules identify changes in material, specification, quantity, packaging or freight as common reasons for recalculation.

Examples include:

A 600D Oxford cover changed to 900D.

A standard rear panel changed to a camera-compatible construction.

A one-color logo changed to full photographic printing.

A clear polybag changed to a printed retail box.

A 1,000-piece single-SKU order changed into ten separate 100-piece SKUs.

Such changes affect materials, setup, labor, packaging or production efficiency and therefore may affect both cost and lead time.

Freight Is Not Automatically Included

International freight is not automatically included in every product quotation. Standard EXW or FOB pricing may exclude final international transportation, with freight calculated separately.

Freight pricing can depend on:

Shipping method
Destination
Carton quantity
Carton dimensions
CBM
Gross weight
Delivery speed
Customs route

A freight quotation should therefore be read together with the applicable Incoterm and shipment conditions.

Taxes, Duties and Bank Fees

Taxes and import costs depend on the commercial arrangement rather than the tire cover alone.

Factors can include:

Incoterm
Destination
Import method
Importer of record
Local customs rules

Bank transfer fees charged by the payer’s bank are normally borne by the payer unless the written project terms state otherwise.

DDP arrangements should be reviewed separately from EXW, FOB or CIF quotations because responsibility for freight, customs and destination charges differs.

Samples and Golden Sample Approval Control Production

Sample approval is a manufacturing decision, not merely an aesthetic comment. Szoneier uses sample records and Golden Samples to define what later production should reproduce.

Sample Payment and Development

Standard custom sample projects are normally paid 100% before sample production. Sample courier charges are generally handled separately unless the applicable quotation states otherwise.

Sampling can involve more than sewing one finished piece. Depending on the project, work may include:

Artwork preparation
Material allocation
Pattern development
Printing setup
Camera engineering
Sewing
Fitment evaluation
Packaging development
Revision

Standard custom samples are commonly completed in approximately 3–5 working days after the necessary materials, artwork and measurements are ready, although more complex constructions can require additional development.

Formal Sample Approval

A sample can be approved through an agreed written method such as email, signed artwork, approved physical sample, purchase order or another recorded confirmation.

Szoneier’s sample framework uses the approval concept:

Sample Approved for Mass Production

The approval can cover:

Size
Material
Color
Artwork
Print
Camera
Logo
Sewing
Accessories
Packaging

An approval should therefore be given only after the relevant characteristics have been reviewed.

Golden Sample as Production Reference

The Golden Sample is the final approved physical reference used for commercial manufacturing and QC where the program requires one.

A Golden Sample can establish the approved relationship among:

Material + Pattern + Artwork + Printing + Camera + Sewing + Accessories + Packaging

The factory can retain a reference sample, photographs and specification files for comparison during production. The project record may identify the sample version, material, size, artwork, camera details, packaging and approval status.

For repeat orders, the same approved reference can help maintain continuity unless an intentional revision has been authorized.

Changes After Approval

Approval does not prevent future changes, but a change after Golden Sample approval can reopen development.

Szoneier’s established process identifies changes to:

Artwork
Material
Size
Packaging
Construction

as reasons to return the project to Revision and reassess:

Cost

Lead Time

Sample requirements

A revised specification should not be assumed to retain the old price or production schedule automatically.

Production Orders and Specification Changes

Commercial production begins after the required commercial and technical information has been confirmed. Version control helps keep the order aligned with the approved project.

Production Start

Standard production scheduling normally begins after the required deposit, artwork approval and production information have been confirmed.

Projects requiring additional approval can also depend on:

Golden Sample approval
Material confirmation
Camera fitment approval
Packaging approval
Compliance testing
Purchase order
Shipping instructions

Lead time should therefore be counted from the agreed production-ready point rather than the first inquiry date.

Material Version

Commercial production should use the approved material reference. A material described by the same general name is not automatically interchangeable with the approved version.

For example, two fabrics both described as “600D Oxford” can differ in:

GSM
Coating
Color
Waterproof performance
UV treatment
Hand feel
Tear strength

Substitution affecting an approved specification should be reviewed before production.

Artwork Version

Only the approved artwork version should enter commercial printing.

Changes to:

Logo
Text
Color
Photograph
Background
Camera-safe area
SKU information

need version control so an earlier file is not accidentally used for a later order.

Large multi-SKU programs may maintain separate artwork references for each product version.

Order Changes

Requests received after material purchasing, printing, cutting or sewing has begun can create additional cost or scrap.

Szoneier will review whether a requested change can still be implemented and may need to revise:

Price
Material requirement
Sample
Production schedule
Packaging
Freight

A change is not considered implemented merely because it was mentioned informally; the revised requirement should be confirmed in writing.

Repeat Orders

Repeat orders can use prior approved records such as material ID, pattern, artwork version, Golden Sample, QC standard and packaging specification.

The previous specification should be reconfirmed when:

Material availability changes
Artwork changes
Tire size changes
Camera configuration changes
Packaging changes
Compliance requirements change

Repeat manufacturing should reproduce an approved standard rather than rely on visual memory.

Production Timing

Production schedules are planning references rather than unconditional guarantees.

Normal references can include:

30 pcs: 5–7 working days
100 pcs: 7–10 working days
500 pcs: 10–15 working days
1,000 pcs: 12–18 working days
5,000 pcs: 20–30 days

Final timing depends on construction, printing, SKU count, approvals, material availability, QC and packaging.

Standard Payment Terms and Commercial References

Payment terms can vary by project, order history, annual volume and approved credit arrangement. The figures below are normal references rather than mandatory terms for every transaction.

Commercial Item	Standard Reference	Important Condition
Sample	100% before production	Project quotation may define otherwise
Bulk Production	30% deposit + 70% before shipment	Standard reference for normal projects
Long-Term Account	Project-specific	Subject to order history, annual volume, credit and approval
Tooling	Normally paid before tooling starts	Can include screens, emboss plates or custom tooling
Sample Courier	Usually separate	Freight collect can be used with approved courier accounts
International Currency	USD commonly used	Other arrangements may be confirmed
Bank Fees	Payer-side fee normally paid by payer	Unless written terms state otherwise
Final Payment Terms	Written quotation / PI	Project-specific written terms control

Szoneier’s internal commercial framework supports alternative payment arrangements for qualified long-term relationships based on order history, annual volume, credit and internal approval.

Payment should be sent only according to the banking information shown in the applicable approved commercial document. Any unexpected request to change payment account information should be independently verified with the established Szoneier contact before transfer.

Artwork, Intellectual Property and Confidentiality

Custom tire covers frequently contain brand assets, personal artwork and proprietary product information. Production rights and ownership should therefore be distinguished clearly.

Customer-Provided Artwork

Artwork supplied by a client remains owned by the client or its lawful rights holder. Szoneier’s possession of a logo, photograph or design for manufacturing does not automatically transfer ownership to Szoneier.

Manufacturing use can include:

Artwork preparation
Mockup
Sampling
Printing
QC
Packaging
Order fulfillment

Client-exclusive branded artwork is not intended to become another client’s branded artwork.

Trademarked and Licensed Content

A party submitting trademarks, licensed characters, automotive logos, sports graphics or other protected material is responsible for having sufficient legal rights for the requested commercial manufacturing.

Relevant evidence may include:

Ownership
License
Brand authorization
Distributor authorization
Purchase order
Other valid permission

Szoneier may decline production where obvious third-party IP risk exists or where required authorization cannot be established.

Standard Factory Patterns

Standard tire cover patterns and general manufacturing methods developed and maintained within the Szoneier/Tire Cover Factory manufacturing system do not automatically transfer to a client merely because a product using the pattern is purchased.

The internal fact framework identifies standard tire cover patterns as factory intellectual property.

The finished branded product and the underlying general manufacturing pattern should therefore be treated as separate IP concepts.

Custom Pattern Rights

Exclusive rights to a specially developed pattern can be negotiated where the relevant development cost and exclusivity arrangements are agreed.

Szoneier’s internal framework permits contractual exclusivity where a client pays the agreed full development cost and applicable exclusive fee.

Any ownership, exclusivity, territory, product category or duration should be defined in a separate written agreement rather than assumed from ordinary sampling fees.

NDA and Confidential Projects

Qualifying projects can use an NDA or confidentiality agreement covering information such as:

Artwork
Product design
Pricing
Supplier information
Samples
Company identity
Sales information
Project information

NDA-controlled projects can use Need-to-Know internal access so confidential files are limited to personnel whose responsibilities require access.

Confidentiality obligations agreed in a signed NDA or project agreement supplement the general website Terms.

Quality Acceptance, Claims and After-Sales Handling

Quality claims are assessed against the approved specification, Golden Sample, order information and available evidence rather than a general expectation disconnected from the manufactured requirement.

Manufacturing Defects

A manufacturing claim can involve issues such as:

Incorrect product
Wrong approved artwork
Printing defect
Sewing defect
Incorrect camera version
Missing component
Incorrect packaging
Other non-conformity against the approved specification

The relevant order, SKU and affected quantity should be identified so Szoneier can compare the issue with production and QC records.

A minor visual preference that was already approved in the Golden Sample is not evaluated in the same way as a measurable production departure from the approved standard.

Claim Evidence and Review

Useful evidence can include:

PO or order number
Product SKU
Quantity affected
Clear photographs
Video
Packaging photographs
Tire-size information
Camera photographs
Defect description

Szoneier can review manufacturing records, approved files and QC information to determine the probable cause and appropriate corrective action.

For selected personalized or dropshipping projects, pre-shipment photo QC records can be associated with an Order ID and used for internal QC, complaint resolution and wrong-artwork prevention.

Remake, Replacement or Credit

Where a verified defect falls within Szoneier’s manufacturing responsibility, possible after-sales resolutions can include:

Remake

Replacement

Credit

depending on the nature, quantity, commercial value and agreed project terms.

For low-value personalized products manufactured incorrectly by Szoneier, a remake may be more commercially sensible than requiring the end recipient to return the product internationally.

No universal warranty period is created by these general Terms unless a specific warranty has been stated in a quotation, specification, product program or written agreement.

Incorrect Information Supplied to Szoneier

Responsibility differs when production accurately follows incorrect information supplied or approved externally.

Examples can include:

Wrong tire size submitted
Incorrect delivery address
Incorrect approved artwork
Wrong SKU information
Incorrect barcode supplied
Unauthorized trademark file

If an incorrect tire size was ordered, Szoneier can assist with fitment analysis, but the issue is not treated automatically as a manufacturing defect.

Accurate project information should therefore be confirmed before production approval.

Shipping, Freight and Delivery Responsibilities

Manufacturing completion and international delivery are separate stages. Shipping responsibility depends on the agreed route, Incoterm and written order terms.

Available Shipping Routes

Szoneier can arrange international shipment through methods including:

Courier
Air freight
Sea freight
Selected rail routes
DDP logistics

Major destination markets can include the United States, Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and the Middle East.

The preferred route depends on quantity, cost, required transit time and destination.

Incoterms Define Commercial Responsibility

The applicable quotation or shipping agreement should identify the selected Incoterm where relevant.

Common manufacturing transactions can use arrangements such as:

EXW

FOB

CIF

DDP

Different Incoterms allocate freight, export handling, import customs, duties, insurance and risk differently.

The product unit price should therefore not be interpreted independently from the applicable shipping term.

Production Time and Transit Time Are Separate

A production lead time describes manufacturing after the agreed production-ready conditions are satisfied.

Transit time begins after the shipment has been handed over according to the agreed logistics arrangement.

For example:

Production:

Material → Printing → Cutting → Sewing → QC → Packing

Transit:

Carrier pickup → Export → International transport → Customs → Last-mile delivery

A statement describing a 10-day production schedule does not automatically mean the goods will arrive at the destination within 10 calendar days.

Third-Party Transit Events

International delivery can be affected by events outside normal manufacturing control, including:

Customs inspection
Port congestion
Carrier delay
Weather
Flight availability
Remote-area delivery
Government controls
Strikes
Other transportation disruptions

Even sample courier references vary by destination and can be affected by customs, remote areas and the carrier.

Szoneier will provide available shipping records and coordinate with logistics providers according to the agreed shipment scope, but a third-party carrier’s delay is not the same as a manufacturing delay.

Website Use and Published Content

TireCoverFactory.com contains manufacturing information intended to support product development and supplier evaluation. Use of the website must remain lawful and must not interfere with the operation or rights of Szoneier or third parties.

Technical and Commercial Content

Szoneier works to keep published product, material, process and manufacturing information accurate.

However, website information can become outdated as:

Materials change
Equipment changes
Regulations change
Logistics conditions change
Supplier pricing changes
Manufacturing processes improve

A product-specific quotation, approved specification or written commercial document should therefore be used when a binding project decision depends on current information.

Website Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, Szoneier-owned website materials may include:

Original text
Photographs
Videos
Diagrams
Product graphics
Factory artwork
Technical explanations
Layout and branding

Third-party trademarks and authorized project imagery remain the property of their respective owners.

Website publication does not grant unrestricted rights to copy, reproduce or commercially republish Szoneier-owned content.

Prohibited Use

Visitors should not use TireCoverFactory.com to:

Introduce malware or malicious code
Attempt unauthorized system access
Interfere with website operation
Fraudulently impersonate another organization
Submit unlawful or unauthorized intellectual property
Scrape protected content in a manner that violates applicable rights or access controls
Use the website for unlawful commercial activity

Szoneier may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect systems, users or legal rights.

External Services and Availability

Some website functions may rely on external platforms, embedded media, logistics links or other third-party services.

Szoneier does not control every external service or guarantee uninterrupted operation of third-party systems.

Website functions can also be suspended temporarily for:

Maintenance
Security updates
Technical failures
Hosting issues
Infrastructure changes

A temporary website interruption does not alter an already accepted manufacturing order or written commercial agreement.

Liability, Force Majeure and Project-Specific Legal Terms

Commercial risk allocation can vary substantially between a personalized tire cover order and a large international OEM program. Certain legal terms therefore need to be established in the applicable written transaction documents rather than assumed from general website language.

Website Information Is Not an Unlimited Warranty

Published manufacturing information does not create an unconditional guarantee that every material, production time, test result, shipment method or product configuration will be available for every future project.

Actual performance and obligations depend on:

Approved specification
Order quantity
Material
Construction
Intended market
Testing requirement
Packaging
Written commercial agreement

Express warranties, if any, should be stated in the relevant written project documents.

Events Beyond Reasonable Control

Production or shipment can be affected by events outside the reasonable control of either party, including severe weather, natural disaster, government action, transportation interruption, major power or infrastructure disruption, war, labor disruption or extraordinary supply interruption.

Where such an event materially affects an active order, the parties should communicate promptly and review the expected effect on scheduling, material availability or delivery.

Any detailed force-majeure allocation contained in a signed agreement will govern according to that agreement.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

No universal governing-law or arbitration clause is stated here for every possible international manufacturing transaction.

Where a project requires a defined:

Governing law
Court jurisdiction
Arbitration institution
Arbitration seat
Contract language
Dispute escalation process

those terms should be established in the applicable signed contract or other mutually accepted written agreement.

A large OEM program can therefore use negotiated legal terms different from a routine sample or standard order.

Liability Terms in Written Agreements

Specific projects may require negotiated provisions concerning:

Direct damages
Indirect damages
Lost profits
Consequential loss
Liability caps
Insurance
Indemnities
Product recalls
IP claims

No unconfirmed liability cap is created merely by publication of these general Terms.

Where a signed agreement addresses liability, indemnification or remedies, the negotiated written provision should be followed for the transaction it governs.

Confirm Commercial Terms Before Production Starts

A custom tire cover program runs more smoothly when product specifications and commercial terms are settled before materials are purchased or bulk production is scheduled. Send Szoneier the relevant project information if a quotation, sample approval, payment condition, artwork right, shipping arrangement or contract requirement needs clarification. Large OEM programs can also establish additional written commercial, confidentiality, quality or legal provisions before production begins.

For a focused review, provide:

Company and project reference
Product and SKU requirements
Order quantity
Approved or proposed material
Artwork and IP status
Sample or Golden Sample status
Requested production schedule
Packaging requirements
Destination and preferred Incoterm
Payment or credit requirements
QC or testing requirements
NDA or contract requirements
Any requested governing-law or dispute terms

Szoneier can then align the commercial request with the applicable quotation, production specification and approval records before the project enters manufacturing.
