1. Is the governing law China (PRC) or your home jurisdiction — not a random third country?
2. Does the contract include Non-Disclosure, Non-Use AND Non-Circumvention clauses (NNN)?
3. Are IP ownership and mold/tooling ownership explicitly assigned to you?
4. Is the payment structure balanced (e.g. small deposit, balance after QC)?
5. Are quality standards, tolerances and AQL levels defined in writing?
6. Is there a clear penalty for late delivery or defects?
7. Does the supplier require full payment BEFORE production or shipment?
8. Is dispute resolution via a court/arbitration you can actually enforce (e.g. CIETAC, PRC courts)?
9. Does the contract have the supplier's official chop (company seal), not just a signature?
10. Is the contract available in Chinese (with the Chinese version controlling)?
