Terms of Service for LinkScope Sourcing 13

These terms cover use of the LinkScope Sourcing 13 website and the procurement notes you submit about industrial Ethernet switches. The desk is an independent sourcing partner. It introduces a written requirement to factories and helps you compare replies. It is not a manufacturer and does not claim authorized distributor status.

What a submission means

A form submission is a request for review. It is not a purchase order, a booking of inventory, or a promise that any factory will quote. You are responsible for the accuracy of port count, port speed, power, quantity, destination, and timing. Optional budget figures and supplier preferences are your notes. They are not verified prices or ratings.

Quotations and evidence

Factory quotations, datasheets, and lead times come from the quoting party. Switching capacity, forwarding rate, Power over Ethernet budget, ingress protection, and optical budget must be read on the exact model those documents name. IEEE 802.3 and similar references are question sources. They are not certificates for a proposed unit. Compatibility with a PLC, a ring protocol, or an SFP is not confirmed by this website.

Commercial boundary

FREE sourcing support may be available to qualified business buyers. The site notice states the review steps and the benefit ceiling. Freight, duties, licenses, optics, and commissioning stay outside a unit price until a quotation lists them.

Acceptable use

Do not submit unlawful content, malware, or another party’s confidential drawings unless you have the right to share them for quotation. Do not present this site’s text as a test report. Comments on articles are for procurement discussion and may be removed if they advertise unrelated goods or impersonate a factory.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, LinkScope Sourcing 13 is not liable for a factory’s failure to ship, for a network design that does not meet your process, or for losses from relying on a brochure figure that was not tied to the purchased model. Nothing on this page excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded. If you need a contract with specific remedies, ask for it before you accept a quotation. The site may change these terms by posting an update on this page. Continued use after the update is how later notes are governed.

Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact form. Product inquiry names remain on the switch cards.
