SpokePoint Sourcing Terms of Service

These terms describe SpokePoint Sourcing’s role for business visitors who submit an alloy-wheel procurement inquiry.

Independent role

SpokePoint Sourcing helps businesses describe procurement requirements and request proposals from independent suppliers. A product or brand reference is used to discuss buyer intent and technical scope. Catalog entries are inquiry options. An inquiry does not reserve stock, create a purchase order, establish a supplier relationship, or confirm that a product is compatible with your application.

Review of proposals

Ask the proposed supplier to identify the exact part, manufacturer, plant and drawing revision. Before ordering, use your own fitment, engineering and quality approval processes to verify the mounting interface, load, brake clearance, testing evidence and intended use. Confirm current price, currency, delivery basis, available quantity, shipping schedule and warranty handling in writing with the seller. Any sample or alternative design should be assessed against the same application requirements as the intended order.

Using the inquiry channel

Provide accurate business contact details and information you are authorized to share. In the first message, reference drawings and revisions by name. If confidential drawings or commercial material are necessary later, discuss the appropriate exchange method before sending them. Do not send payment credentials through the inquiry form.

Supplier terms and next steps

Terms for an actual purchase, including inspection, packing, handoff, freight, acceptance and remedies, should appear in your written agreement with the chosen supplier. Clarify the treatment of deviations and replacements before accepting that agreement. Specify who may authorize a substitute, how the supplier will identify an approved sample, and who reviews changes to wheel finish or construction. If a supplier revises an offer, record which revision replaces the prior offer. If you have a question about this service, use the business inquiry page. See the Privacy Policy for information about inquiries.
