Terms of trade.
The standard terms behind every quote and contract. Your signed contract always takes priority.
Draft for Ewoke's legal review. Placeholder wording, not legal advice. Last updated: [date at launch].
Scope
These terms apply to every sale of green coffee by Ewoke Coffee, unless a signed contract says otherwise.
Quotes and prices
Quotes are valid for the period stated on them. Prices follow the New York "C" market, our costs and the weekly ECTA minimum export price, and we cannot sell below that minimum.
Samples
We send 350 g or 500 g samples from active lots. An approved sample becomes the quality reference for the contract.
Contracts
A sale is confirmed only by a written contract stating the lot, grade, process, quantity, bag size, Incoterm, shipment period and price.
Payment
By Letter of Credit (typically 90-day tenor) or Telegraphic Transfer, as agreed in the contract. Bags are printed with your marks once payment or the LC is confirmed.
Delivery and risk
We sell FOB Djibouti or CIF to your named port (Incoterms® 2020). Risk passes to you as the agreed Incoterm sets out.
Packing and marking
Standard jute bags of 60 kg, other sizes on request, with a GrainPro liner, marked with your company name, logo, production date and destination port.
Quality and claims
Each lot is certified by Ethiopia's Coffee and Tea Authority before export and must match the approved sample. Quality claims must be made within the period set in the contract, supported by an arrival sample.
Force majeure
Neither side is liable for delays caused by events outside its reasonable control, such as port closures, strikes, export restrictions or extreme weather.
Governing law
[To be confirmed by Ewoke's legal counsel.]
