22. INDICATIVE OR PROVISIONAL PRICE
Where ZOAR expressly identifies a Campaign price as:

“Indicative”;
“Provisional”;
“Expected”;
or similar wording,
the price shall not become final until ZOAR issues Campaign Confirmation or another final pricing confirmation.

staged payment;
milestone payment;
payment upon arrival;
approved escrow;
or another legally permissible mechanism.

A Reservation Payment may be required to:
evidence Customer commitment;
reserve allocation;
support demand forecasting;
support supplier negotiation;
or initiate procurement.
31. RESERVATION PAYMENT IS NOT A LOAN OR INVESTMENT

a loan to ZOAR;
an investment in ZOAR;

a securities arrangement;
or an entitlement to any return, interest or profit.
PART X — PROCUREMENT COMMITMENT

and applicable law.
36. ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
Where legally permitted and properly disclosed, reasonable non-recoverable transactional expenses actually incurred before cancellation may be deducted.
PART XII — CUSTOMER CANCELLATION AFTER PROCUREMENT
37. NO UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT AFTER PROCUREMENT COMMITMENT
Once ZOAR has materially relied upon the Customer’s order and incurred Procurement Commitment, the Customer shall not possess an unconditional contractual right to cancel merely because:
the Customer changes his or her mind;
no longer requires the Product;
experiences a change in financial circumstances;
finds an alternative Product;
finds a lower price;
changes project plans;
or otherwise elects not to proceed.
38. DISCRETIONARY POST-COMMITMENT CANCELLATION

inspection fee;
customisation cost;

packaging;
cosmetic design;
component placement;
firmware;
labelling;
minor dimensions;
or non-material specifications
during the period between Campaign launch and production.

A non-material manufacturer revision shall not constitute grounds for cancellation where the Product’s:
essential purpose;
material performance;
safety;
rated capacity;
and principal agreed characteristics
remain substantially equivalent.

Where a manufacturer changes the Product in a manner materially affecting the essential contractual specification, ZOAR may:

The Customer shall not be required to accept a materially different substitute unless contractually agreed.

ZOAR may depend upon independent:

factories;
OEMs;
exporters;

and other suppliers.
53. SUPPLIER DELAY
Supplier delay may extend the Estimated Delivery Window.

quality-control failure;
factory holidays;
energy shortage;
labour shortage;
government restriction;
raw-material shortage;
or other manufacturing events.
58. QUALITY-CONTROL DELAYS
ZOAR may accept a reasonable delay rather than knowingly procure or deliver Products which fail applicable quality requirements.

60. SHIPPING METHOD
ZOAR may use:

customs declaration;
classification;
valuation;
assessment;
physical examination;
testing;
documentation verification;
regulatory clearance;
or other governmental procedures.
64. CUSTOMS DELAY
Customs delay shall not, of itself, constitute a contractual breach by ZOAR where ZOAR has exercised reasonable commercial diligence.
65. CUSTOMS VALUATION AND CLASSIFICATION
ZOAR does not guarantee that a governmental authority will adopt any anticipated:
tariff classification;
valuation;
duty rate;
tax treatment;
or regulatory interpretation.
66. IMPORT RESTRICTION
Where a Product becomes lawfully restricted or prohibited, ZOAR may:
seek lawful alternative clearance;
change specification where legally permissible and Customer-approved;

67. INCLUDED AND EXCLUDED COSTS
Whether Campaign pricing includes:
customs duty;

tax;
freight;
insurance;
port handling;
delivery;
or another charge
shall be determined by the relevant Campaign page, quotation or order confirmation.
68. NEW GOVERNMENT CHARGES
Where a new mandatory governmental charge is imposed after Campaign launch but before final contractual pricing is fixed, ZOAR may reflect that charge in the final price where legally permissible.
PART XXI — DELIVERY TIMELINE
69. ESTIMATED DELIVERY WINDOW
Campaign delivery periods are estimates unless expressly designated as guaranteed.
70. ESTIMATE IS NOT ESSENCE OF CONTRACT
Unless expressly agreed otherwise or mandatory law provides otherwise, time shall not be considered of the essence merely because ZOAR publishes an Estimated Delivery Window.
71. REVISED ESTIMATE
Where circumstances materially affect procurement, ZOAR may issue a revised Estimated Delivery Window.
72. CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE OF REVISED TIMELINE
Where the Customer expressly accepts a revised timeline, such revised timeline shall thereafter govern the expected fulfilment schedule, subject to mandatory law.
PART XXII — DELAY
73. ORDINARY DELAY
Minor, reasonable or commercially immaterial delay shall not automatically create a right to:
cancel;
claim compensation;
claim interest;
or claim damages.
74. MATERIAL DELAY
Where a delay reaches a level at which applicable law or the Campaign-Specific Terms confer a cancellation or refund right, ZOAR shall administer the legally required remedy.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, delay shall not entitle the Customer to compensation for:
lost profit;
lost revenue;
business interruption;
lost opportunity;
project delay penalties;
financing cost;
rental cost;
loss of expected savings;
or other indirect or consequential loss.
The Contract Act recognises compensation for loss naturally arising from breach while excluding remote and indirect loss.

the Campaign-Specific Terms;
and ZOAR’s Return and Refund Policy.

Unless required by law or expressly agreed in writing, Campaign cancellation shall not entitle the Customer to compensation exceeding the Customer’s legally recoverable monetary interest in the affected transaction.
PART XXV — CUSTOMER-REQUESTED MODIFICATION
82. CHANGES AFTER ORDER
Any request to change:
model;
capacity;
colour;
configuration;

88. WARRANTY START DATE
The applicable warranty commencement date shall be determined by the relevant Warranty Policy, manufacturer warranty or Campaign-Specific Terms.
89. CAMPAIGN STATUS DOES NOT ENLARGE WARRANTY
The fact that a Product was purchased through Campaign or Pre-Order shall not enlarge the Product’s normal warranty.
PART XXVIII — CUSTOMER DUTY TO REVIEW SPECIFICATION
90. REVIEW BEFORE ORDER

model;
capacity;
dimensions;
voltage;
connector;
compatibility;
country version;
warranty;

existing equipment;
battery system;
solar system;
vehicle;

REQUIRED CAMPAIGN CHECKOUT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
“I acknowledge and agree that this Product is offered through a Campaign, Pre-Order, Advance Reservation or Special Procurement arrangement and may not constitute Ready Stock. I understand that ZOAR VC may procure the Product in reliance upon confirmed Customer commitments and that the stated procurement and delivery periods are estimates unless expressly guaranteed. I have reviewed and accepted the applicable payment structure, cancellation provisions, Balance Payment obligations, delivery conditions, refund rules and the ZOAR VC Campaign, Pre-Order, Advance Reservation and Special Procurement Terms.”
RECOMMENDED PROCUREMENT-COMMITMENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
For Products involving special importation or supplier commitment, ZOAR should additionally require:
“I acknowledge that, following confirmation of my order, ZOAR VC may incur non-recoverable obligations to manufacturers, suppliers, freight providers, financial institutions and other third parties in reliance upon my commitment. I understand that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, my ability to voluntarily cancel the order may therefore become restricted once such procurement obligations have been incurred.”
RECOMMENDED BALANCE-PAYMENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
“I acknowledge that any remaining Balance Payment shall become payable upon the trigger stated in the applicable Campaign Terms or payment notice. I understand that failure to pay an undisputed Balance Payment when properly due may result in suspension of fulfilment, storage, cancellation or reallocation of the Product and recovery of such reasonable Customer-default costs as may lawfully be recoverable.”
RECOMMENDED IMPORT-TIMELINE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
“I acknowledge that international procurement may involve manufacturing, supplier processing, foreign domestic transportation, export procedures, international freight, customs clearance, regulatory examination, local warehousing and final delivery. Unless ZOAR VC expressly provides a written Guaranteed Delivery Date, all stated arrival and delivery periods are good-faith estimates and may change as a result of circumstances outside ZOAR VC’s reasonable control.”
