Supplier information & purchasing evaluation
Your inventory. Your supply relationships.
These rules cover inventory information submitted by brokers, OEMs, EMS providers and other inventory suppliers through our website, email or direct business communications.
Internal evaluation is the default
Authorized purchasing personnel may review parts, quantities, date codes, public technical information and existing internal demand records to assess a purchase. Submission does not authorize external market inquiries, including anonymized inquiries.
External inquiries require prior consent
Before an external inquiry, we explain the inventory or list version involved, proposed recipient types, purpose, information fields, permission to forward files, validity period and any restrictions. We proceed only after explicit consent recorded by email or a retainable business message. Silence, a submitted list or general willingness to cooperate is not consent.
Use only the agreed information
Within an authorized inquiry, use the minimum necessary information. Do not disclose supplier names, contact details, original OEM/EMS identities or sensitive supplier prices, or forward original files, without specific permission. A wider recipient group, additional inventory or an expanded purpose requires renewed consent.
Respect the original supply relationship
We will not bypass a broker to contact its introduced original supplier without prior agreement, except where required by applicable law. If verification, inspection or delivery requires the original supplier’s involvement, we first discuss the contact method and commercial boundaries with the broker.
Permission can be withdrawn
Contact our purchasing team with the submission reference and the permission you wish to withdraw. We stop future related inquiries after receiving the request and record the action. Information already shared cannot necessarily be retrieved from third parties; applicable legal and contractual obligations may also limit what can be reversed.
Technical processing is separate
Necessary website hosting, storage and email processing are described in our Privacy Policy. Consent to that processing, file upload or submission does not grant market inquiry permission. Uploading stock information to third-party valuation tools or platforms must be assessed as potential disclosure, not assumed to be internal review.
Questions before sharing inventory
Will you share my list with other brokers or customers?
Not for external market inquiries without your prior consent, even if supplier names are removed. Initial purchasing evaluation is internal.
Do I need to identify my original OEM or EMS supplier?
Not during the initial evaluation. Start with basic inventory details. We discuss additional verification requirements if the opportunity progresses.
Will you contact my original supplier directly?
Not without your prior agreement, except where required by applicable law. Any necessary involvement should first be discussed with you.
Can I submit for internal evaluation only?
Yes. Submission alone, agreement to the Privacy Policy, or silence does not authorize an external market inquiry.
Can I withdraw permission for future inquiries?
Yes. Contact our purchasing team with the relevant reference. We stop future related inquiries after receiving your request. Already completed disclosures may not be reversible.
