RFQ and Inquiry Process
The platform allows buyers to submit Requests for Quotation (RFQs), product inquiries, availability requests, export inquiries, local sourcing inquiries, private label requests, and direct supplier contact requests.
The following conditions apply to all RFQ and inquiry submissions:
- Submitting an inquiry or RFQ does not create a binding purchase contract with Altonex Global or with any supplier.

- Altonex Global may route an inquiry to one or more suppliers but does not guarantee that any supplier will respond within a specific timeframe or at all.
- Any quotation, counter-offer, negotiation, agreement, or transaction resulting from an inquiry is solely the responsibility of the buyer and supplier involved.
- Altonex Global is not responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, or commercial adequacy of any supplier response.
Product Information
Product listings may include product names, categories, images, descriptions, applications, technical data sheets, packaging details, availability notes, and other commercial information submitted by the relevant supplier.
Altonex Global presents this information as provided by suppliers and makes reasonable efforts to display it clearly. However, Altonex Global does not guarantee that all product information is complete, accurate, current, or suitable for any specific application or market.
Buyers must independently verify product details, technical specifications, compatibility, compliance requirements, and suitability directly with the supplier before purchasing, importing, distributing, or using any product.
Prices and Quotations
Any indicative prices, price ranges, or quotation references displayed on the platform are provided for B2B inquiry and discovery purposes only. They do not constitute a firm offer or a binding price commitment.
Final prices are subject to variation based on quantity, packaging unit, delivery terms (Incoterms or local delivery), destination country, applicable taxes, duties, currency exchange rates, supplier commercial policy, and availability at the time of order.
All final prices and commercial terms must be confirmed directly with the supplier in writing before any transaction between the buyer and the supplier is entered into.
Altonex Global is not responsible for changes in supplier pricing, quotation validity periods, payment terms, delivery costs, taxes, customs duties, or any other transaction-related charges.

The same supplier and the same product may support both an Export Channel and a Local Channel simultaneously, with separate prices, separate MOQ, and separate delivery terms per channel, as declared by the supplier.
Altonex Global does not guarantee the legality, availability, compliance, quality, or delivery of any locally offered product. All local transaction terms must be confirmed directly with the supplier.
Stock and Availability
Product listings and channel declarations on the platform reflect information provided by suppliers at the time of publication or last update. This information is indicative and subject to change.

Intellectual Property
The “Altonex Global” name, logo, platform design, website structure, original text content, graphics, data compilations, and other proprietary materials are owned by or licensed to ALTONEX Global Trading - F.Z.E, unless otherwise stated.

By displaying any brand or trademark, the supplier represents and warrants that, for each such brand or trademark, it either (a) is the lawful owner of the trademark and holds a valid trademark registration for it; or (b) holds a valid, current, written authorization, agency, distribution, or licence from the trademark owner (or the owner’s authorized representative) permitting the supplier to advertise, import, distribute, and offer the branded products through the platform in the relevant market(s).
The supplier agrees to provide to Altonex Global, upon registration and at any time on request, the trademark registration certificate where the supplier is the brand owner, or the relevant authorization, agency, distribution, or licence document where the supplier is an importer, distributor, or reseller of a third party’s brand. Altonex Global may suspend, restrict, unpublish, or remove any booth, listing, or branded content where this documentation is not provided, has expired, is disputed, or cannot be confirmed.
Altonex Global does not own, register, examine, verify, endorse, or guarantee any supplier trademark or brand, and does not confirm the existence, validity, scope, or ownership of any trademark or of any brand authorization. Receiving, reviewing, or storing a document does not constitute verification, endorsement, or any warranty by Altonex Global.
Altonex Global accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any trademark or brand displayed by a supplier, including for any infringement, counterfeiting, passing off, unauthorized or out-of-scope use, mislabeling, parallel import, or dispute relating to a trademark, brand, or brand authorization. Any such matter is solely between the supplier and the relevant rights-holder or third party. The supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Altonex Global, its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, proceeding, damage, liability, loss, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or relating to the supplier’s brands, trademarks, or brand authorization.

Severability
If any provision of these Terms & Conditions is found by a competent court or authority to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable in whole or in part, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed from these Terms & Conditions if modification is not possible.
The validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired.
Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms & Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, their subject matter, or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates. The legal entity operating this platform — ALTONEX Global Trading - F.Z.E — is registered in Ajman Free Zone, Ajman, United Arab Emirates.
Good-faith negotiation first. Before starting arbitration, the parties shall try in good faith to resolve any dispute by negotiation. The party raising the dispute shall send the other written notice describing it; if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of that notice, either party may refer it to arbitration as set out below.
Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms & Conditions — including any question about their existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination — between Altonex Global and a registered user (whether a buyer, a supplier, or any other account holder), and not resolved by negotiation, shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) in accordance with the DIAC Arbitration Rules in force at the commencement of the arbitration, which Rules are deemed incorporated by reference into this clause. The seat (legal place) of the arbitration shall be Dubai, United Arab Emirates; the tribunal shall consist of one (1) sole arbitrator; the language of the arbitration shall be English; and the governing law of the dispute shall be the law of the United Arab Emirates. Where the DIAC Rules provide for expedited proceedings, those proceedings shall apply to eligible disputes. The award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.
Urgent relief and confidentiality. Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim, urgent, or conservatory relief (including injunctions and the protection of intellectual-property rights); seeking such relief is not a waiver of the agreement to arbitrate. The arbitration — its existence, the proceedings, and the award — shall be kept confidential, except as required to enforce the award or by law.
Disputes between buyers and suppliers. This arbitration agreement applies only to disputes between Altonex Global and a registered user about the platform and these Terms. It does not apply to, and Altonex Global is not a party to, any dispute between a buyer and a supplier arising out of a quotation, order, sale, payment, delivery, product, warranty, return, or other transaction between them; any such dispute must be resolved directly between the buyer and the supplier under the terms they have agreed.
