1. Service Content and Core Agreements

1.1 Nature of Service

The services under this Contract are pure information-matching services. Party A shall only be responsible for screening and recommending domestic manufacturers that meet Party B’s requirements, and shall not participate in any subsequent matters such as commercial negotiations, contract signing, or performance supervision between Party B and the manufacturers. The nature of the service is similar to the matchmaking service provided by a dating agency, only offering “bridging” support and assuming no liability related to the “quality of the marriage”.

1.2 Service Premise

Party B shall provide Party A with a written and confirmed target product demand document (including but not limited to product name, specifications and parameters, quality standards, production capacity requirements, certification qualifications, delivery cycle, etc.), which shall serve as Annex 1 to this Contract and the sole basis for Party A’s manufacturer screening. Party B warrants that the demand information provided is true, accurate and complete. Party A shall not be liable for any discrepancies in matching results caused by false information.

1.3 Service Process and Standards

Initial Recommendation: Within [7 working days] after receiving Party B’s service fee and complete demand document, Party A shall complete manufacturer screening and recommend 3 qualified domestic manufacturers to Party B. The provided manufacturer information shall include but not be limited to basic enterprise information, production qualification certificates, relevant product cases, production capacity certificates and valid contact information.

Secondary Recommendation: If Party B fails to reach a cooperation intention with all 3 manufacturers recommended in the initial round, it shall submit a written application for secondary recommendation (stating the reasons for non-cooperation) to Party A within [14 days] after receiving the initial manufacturer information. Party A shall recommend another 3 qualified domestic manufacturers to Party B within [7 working days] after receiving the application. The secondary recommendation shall be the final service round agreed in this Contract.

1.4 Service Term

The service term of this Contract shall commence on the date Party A receives the full service fee from Party B and expire on the date Party B signs a cooperation agreement with the recommended manufacturer, with a maximum duration of [6 months]. Failure to submit an application for secondary recommendation within the time limit shall be deemed as Party B’s voluntary waiver of this right, and the services under this Contract shall terminate automatically.

2. Service Fees and Payment Terms

2.1 Fee Calculation Standard

The service fee for this Contract shall be calculated based on the lower of the following two standards, and Party B shall pay the final calculated amount:

• Minimum Fixed Fee: Not less than USD 50;

2.2 Payment Method

• Party B shall pay a deposit of USD 50 to Party A on the date of signing this Contract (the deposit can be offset against the final service fee);
• Within [XX working days] after reaching a cooperation intention with the manufacturer recommended by Party A and signing a formal contract, Party B shall provide a copy of the cooperation contract to Party A. Party A shall calculate the final service fee based on the total contract amount, and Party B shall make up the balance (if any) within [XX working days] after receiving the fee calculation notice from Party A;
• If Party B fails to reach cooperation with any recommended manufacturer, it shall only pay the fixed fee of USD 50 without any additional charges.

2.3 Payment Method
