Sunday Climbing Industry will work with its manufacturing and sales partners to optimize the supply chain of climbing holds, thereby striving to increase added value throughout the supply chain and achieve mutual prosperity. We will also continue to promote joint research into new product development.
We will comply with desirable trade practices ("promotion standards") with subcontractors , and in particular, we will declare our commitment to the five key issues of fair trade practices .
- ①Price determination method
We will not make unreasonable requests for cost reductions. When determining transaction fees, if a subcontractor requests negotiations, we will negotiate fully to ensure that the subcontractor's fair profits are included, taking into account the impact of increases in labor costs. When entering into a contract, including determining transaction fees, the parent company will clearly state and provide the contract terms in writing.
- ② Cost burden for mold management, etc.
We will conduct mold transactions in accordance with the memorandum on mold handling, promote the disposal of unnecessary molds, and will not request subcontractors to store molds free of charge.
- ③Payment terms for bills, etc.
Subcontract fees for transactions with subcontractors are paid in cash.
- ④ Intellectual property and know-how
We will not require you to enter into a unilateral confidentiality agreement, disclose know-how by taking advantage of your business position, or transfer intellectual property rights free of charge .
- ⑤ The impact of work style reforms, etc.
While taking into consideration the impact of work style reforms on subcontractors, we will strive to avoid transactions or requests that hinder the initiatives or cause disadvantages to subcontractors. In cases where it is unavoidable to shorten delivery times, place additional orders, or make sudden changes to specifications, we will endeavor to cover the increased costs.
We will thoroughly implement this declaration in order to respect each other's positions with our business partners and build relationships as good partners.
