Buyer questions

Can STAR KING customize patents & intellectual property?

Discuss the reference model and customization scope with our team. Logo, packaging, hardware and software changes are evaluated against the selected platform and project requirements.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Share the product, intended use, target markets, estimated quantity, customization requirements and launch date. The quote should separate samples, tooling or development, unit pricing and shipment scope.

How are MOQ and lead time confirmed?

MOQ and timing depend on the model, quantity and customization scope. Request written terms for the approved configuration rather than relying on a single website-wide figure.

Can we validate samples before a bulk order?

Request samples for your intended configuration and agree a test checklist. Keep an approved golden sample and record changes before pilot or mass production.

Which certification documents can I request?

Ask for documents covering the exact SKU and target market. Holder, model, revision, validity and scope should be checked before the purchase order is finalized.

How do we agree IP and software ownership?

Document confidentiality, tooling ownership, background technology, source deliverables and ongoing service responsibilities in the project agreement.
