Contract Quality Guarantee Litigation Form

The Contract Quality Guarantee Litigation Form is a standardized form used in foreign trade practice when the buyer initiates a quality guarantee lawsuit against the seller or carrier due to goods not conforming to the contract. It must be submitted to a court or arbitration institution. Typical usage scenarios: after inspecting the goods, the buyer discovers quality defects and, based on the quality guarantee clause in the contract, starts legal proceedings within the statute of limitations to formally claim compensation, request return, replacement, or price reduction. The form must include the contract number, goods description, quality non-conformities, inspection report, claim amount, and basis. Precautions: 1) It must be submitted within the contractual quality objection period or statutory limitation period; otherwise, the right to win the lawsuit may be lost. 2) An inspection certificate issued by an authoritative inspection body must be attached; otherwise, the evidence is insufficient. 3) This form is different from a general 'quality claim letter,' which is only a commercial negotiation document, while the litigation form has the effect of initiating legal proceedings. The difference from a 'quality guarantee' is that the latter is a seller's commitment document regarding quality, while the litigation form is a legal document for the buyer to protect rights.
