Have you ever lost out during an OEM project because there was no formal contract? The specification was not met but there was no way to claim compensation, delivery was late but there was no basis for damages, or your design was misappropriated but you could not assert your rights? A complete OEM contract is all it takes to avoid these risks. This article offers a free OEM contract template for brushes, analyzes the 7 key clauses in depth and walks through common dispute scenarios, so that you are fully prepared before the cooperation begins and the rights of both parties are protected.

Why do you need a formal OEM contract?

Many business owners think "a quotation is enough", or skip the contract out of trust, but this is often where disputes begin. A complete OEM contract is not only a legal document. It is an umbrella that protects the rights of both parties: it clearly sets out key details such as specifications, price, delivery date and quality standards, and prevents the disputes that arise from differing understandings.

3 common risk scenarios without a formal contract

Scenario 1: A difference in understanding of the specification leads to the whole batch being returned Suppose a food processing plant commissions cleaning brushes. "Nylon filament" is agreed verbally, but the material grade is not specified. The manufacturer uses ordinary nylon, while the customer needs food-grade nylon. The whole batch of brushes is unusable, and with no contract to rely on, the two parties can only argue, losing both money and time.

Scenario 2: Late delivery with no way to claim compensation Suppose a machinery manufacturer urgently needs a batch of custom roller brushes, and the delivery date the manufacturer promised verbally keeps slipping. The customer is therefore unable to deliver on time to its own end customer and is fined, but because there is no penalty clause in a contract, it cannot claim compensation from the manufacturer.

Scenario 3: A design drawing is misappropriated Suppose a company invests money in developing an innovative brush design. When it commissions production it does not sign confidentiality and intellectual property clauses. Later it discovers that the manufacturer has sold the same design to a competitor. Its market advantage is lost, yet with no contract to rely on it cannot pursue the matter.

These scenarios have one thing in common: there was no formal OEM contract to serve as a legal basis. A complete contract clearly defines the responsibilities of both parties, establishes penalties for breach and protects intellectual property, and when a dispute arises it is the strongest evidence.

The 7 key clauses of a brush OEM contract

A complete brush OEM contract should contain the following 7 core clauses. Each one directly affects how well your rights are protected:

1. A clear definition of the specification

This is the clause most likely to give rise to disputes. The contract must record in detail:

  • Filament material: state the specific material grade (for example "food-grade nylon PA612", not just "nylon")
  • Filament specification: filament diameter (for example 0.3mm), length (for example 25mm), density (for example 50 filaments per square centimeter)
  • Base specification: material (for example stainless steel 304), dimensional tolerance (for example ±0.1mm)
  • Appearance requirements: surface treatment, color standard (for example a Pantone color number)

We suggest attaching technical drawings and sample photos, and asking the manufacturer to sign on the contract that it "confirms it has understood the entire specification", to avoid differing understandings.

2. Quantity and unit price

Besides the total quantity and the unit price, the following should also be made clear:

  • Minimum order quantity (MOQ): for example "at least 1000 pieces for the first batch, and at least 500 pieces for each additional order"
  • Quantity tolerance: for example "the actual quantity delivered may vary by ±3%, and the price is calculated on the actual quantity"
  • Conditions for delivery in batches: if delivery is to be in batches, state the quantity of each batch and whether the unit price is the same
  • Quantity change clause: how sudden increases or reductions of the order are handled and how the price is adjusted

3. Delivery date and penalties

A clear delivery date and penalties are the key to on-time delivery:

  • A definite delivery date: "delivery within 45 working days from the date the contract is signed"; avoid vague wording such as "about 1.5 months"
  • Penalty for late delivery: for example "for each 1 day of delay, compensation of 0.5% of the total contract amount, up to a maximum of 10% of the total contract amount"
  • Reward for early delivery: you can agree that "delivery 7 or more days early earns a reward of 2% of the order amount", as an incentive to be on time
  • Force majeure clause: define the situations in which an extension is allowed, such as natural disasters and policy changes, and explain how the number of days of extension is calculated

4. Quality standards and acceptance

This is the core clause for avoiding quality disputes:

  • Acceptance standard: clearly specify the sampling ratio (for example 10%) and the pass criterion (for example "filament shedding rate <1%")
  • Inspection method: state the test instruments used and the test conditions (for example "tested for 10 minutes at a speed of 500rpm")
  • Handling of failures: "if the sample inspection fails, the manufacturer shall remake the goods free of charge within 7 days, and the acceptance period is extended"
  • Acceptance period: for example "acceptance is to be completed within 7 working days after delivery; if this period passes, the goods are deemed accepted"
  • Defect liability period: for example "if a manufacturing defect is found within 3 months after delivery, the manufacturer shall replace the goods free of charge"

5. Payment terms

Reasonable payment terms protect the interests of both parties:

  • Payment method: for example "a 30% deposit and the 70% balance paid before shipment", or "monthly settlement, net 30 days"
  • Invoicing: specify the invoice type (in Taiwan, a duplicate or triplicate uniform invoice) and when it is issued
  • Penalty for late payment: for example "a late fee of 0.05% per day is charged on overdue payments"
  • Refund of advance payment clause: how and when the advance payment is refunded if the manufacturer cannot perform

For a new supplier we suggest the "deposit + balance" model, switching to monthly settlement only after long-term cooperation, to reduce risk.

6. Intellectual property

If a custom design is involved, the intellectual property clause must not be left out:

  • Ownership of the design: state clearly that "the design drawings and tooling provided by the client are owned by the client"
  • Confidentiality obligation: "the manufacturer shall not disclose the design, specifications or process to any third party; compensation for breach is 3 times the contract amount"
  • Exclusivity: "the manufacturer shall not make the same or similar products for a third party without consent"
  • Handling after termination: "after the contract ends, the manufacturer shall destroy or return all design materials and tooling"

7. Warranty and after-sales service

A clear warranty clause reduces later disputes:

  • Warranty period: for example "a warranty of 6 months from the date of delivery"
  • Warranty coverage: "problems caused by material or manufacturing defects are repaired or replaced free of charge"
  • Warranty exclusions: "problems caused by improper use or modification are not covered by the warranty"
  • Technical support: "guidance on product use and installation is provided, free of charge within the warranty period"

💼 A professional reminder

The 7 clauses may look tedious, but every one of them is a frequent point of contention in real disputes. Before signing, we suggest confirming each clause with the manufacturer and asking it to provide contracts from similar past cases for reference, to make sure the clauses are in line with industry practice.

Downloading the OEM contract template and how to use it

To help you put together a complete OEM contract quickly, we provide a contract template reviewed by a legal adviser. It covers the 7 key clauses above, and you only need to fill in the specific details to use it.

The structure of the contract template

Our contract template uses a standard structure, divided into 12 parts:

  1. Information on the contracting parties: the company name, Unified Business Number (Taiwan's company tax ID), address and responsible person of the client and the manufacturer
  2. Subject of the contract: product name and an overview of the specification (the detailed specification is attached as an appendix)
  3. Quantity and unit price: total quantity, unit price, total amount, permitted quantity tolerance
  4. Quality standards: acceptance standard, inspection method, sampling ratio
  5. Delivery date and penalties: a definite delivery date, penalty for delay, reward for early delivery, force majeure clause
  6. Payment terms: payment method, invoicing, penalty for late payment
  7. Intellectual property: ownership of the design, confidentiality obligation, exclusivity clause
  8. Warranty and after-sales service: warranty period, warranty coverage, exclusions, technical support
  9. Acceptance procedure: place of acceptance, acceptance period, handling of failures
  10. Liability for breach: the compensation standard for each kind of breach
  11. Dispute resolution: negotiation mechanism, court of jurisdiction
  12. Other terms: changes to the contract, number of copies, effective date

How to fill in the contract template (field by field)

Step 1: Fill in the basic information

  • In the "Client" field, enter your company name, Unified Business Number, address and the name of the responsible person
  • In the "Manufacturer" field, enter the corresponding information for the manufacturer
  • We suggest asking the manufacturer for a copy of its company registration documents to confirm that the information is correct

Step 2: Define the product specification

  • In the "Subject of the contract" field, briefly state the product name (for example "food-grade nylon cleaning brush")
  • Organize the detailed specification into "Appendix 1: Product specification", including technical drawings and sample photos
  • State in the contract that "the product specification referred to in this contract is as set out in Appendix 1"

Step 3: Agree the quantity and price

  • Fill in the total order quantity, unit price and total amount (in Taiwan it is recommended to write amounts in formal Chinese numerals alongside Arabic digits)
  • Set the quantity tolerance (generally ±3-5%)
  • If delivery is in batches, add the quantity and timing of each batch in the "Other terms" field

Step 4: Set the delivery date and penalties

  • Choose the starting point for calculating the delivery date (for example "the date the contract is signed", "the date the deposit is received" or "the date the sample is confirmed")
  • Set the number of days for delivery (working days or calendar days; this must be stated clearly)
  • Fill in the percentage of the penalty for delay (0.3-0.5% per day with a cap of 5-10% is recommended)
  • Define the scope of force majeure events (we suggest limiting it to major events such as natural disasters, war and government bans)

Step 5: Make the acceptance standard explicit

  • Fill in the sampling ratio (generally 5-10%)
  • Set the pass criteria (for example "shedding rate <1%" and "dimensional error ±0.1mm")
  • Agree the inspection method and instruments (we suggest requiring a credible testing standard)
  • Set the acceptance period (generally 3-7 working days)

When using the contract template, please note:

  • Adjust it to your case: the template is for reference only. Adjust it to your actual needs and consult a legal adviser where necessary
  • Signatures and seals of both parties: the contract must be signed by hand by the responsible persons of both parties and stamped with the company seal and the representative's seal, with a seal across the edge of every page (the customary practice in Taiwan)
  • Witnessed signing: for important contracts we suggest having a third party (such as an accountant) witness the signing
  • Number of copies: we suggest making 3 copies, with the client, the manufacturer and the witness each holding 1
  • Legal effect: this template is for reference only; adjust the actual clauses to the transaction. Before signing, we suggest consulting a professional lawyer to confirm its validity

Common contract dispute scenarios and how to avoid the pitfalls

Even with a contract, disputes can still arise if the clauses are not clear enough or key details are overlooked. Below, 4 common scenarios illustrate the point, each with tips on avoiding the pitfall:

Scenario 1: A vague specification leads to a dispute over defects

The scenario Suppose an electronics plant commissions anti-static brushes. The contract says only "anti-static nylon filament" and does not state the anti-static grade. The manufacturer uses ordinary anti-static nylon (surface resistance 10^9Ω), but the customer needs a high anti-static grade (surface resistance 10^6Ω). The product cannot pass the customer's static test, and the difference in understanding of the specification leads to a dispute over returning the goods.

How to avoid it

  • Specifications must be "quantifiable and testable"; avoid subjective wording such as "good" or "appropriate"
  • Technical terms must be given specific values and units (for example "surface resistance ≤10^6Ω")
  • Attach the technical specification document or the number of an international standard (for example "compliant with IEC 61340-5-1")
  • Ask the manufacturer to provide a "specification confirmation" before the contract is signed, proving that it fully understands the requirement

Scenario 2: No delivery penalty means no compensation for delay

The scenario Suppose a machinery plant urgently needs a batch of custom roller brushes. The contract sets a delivery date but no penalty. Because of capacity problems the manufacturer delivers late. The customer therefore misses its end customer's delivery date and is fined, but because the contract has no penalty clause, its claim against the manufacturer is refused and in the end it has to absorb the loss itself.

How to avoid it

  • The delivery clause must include a "penalty" so that it has real binding force
  • Suggested penalty design: compensation of 0.3-0.5% of the contract amount for each 1 day of delay, with a cap (for example 10% of the total) to avoid excessive punishment
  • Design a "reward for early delivery" as well (for example a 2% reward for delivery 7 days early): carrot and stick
  • For important orders we suggest adding a clause that "if the delay exceeds X days, the client may terminate the contract and demand the refund of the advance payment + compensation for losses"

Scenario 3: An unclear acceptance standard makes it hard to take delivery

The scenario Suppose a food plant commissions cleaning brushes. The contract says only "quality must meet food safety standards" and does not specify how acceptance will be carried out. On delivery the customer refuses the goods on the grounds that "uneven filament was found by visual inspection", while the manufacturer holds that "meeting the food safety test report" already satisfies the standard. The two sides understand "quality standard" differently, and the goods get stuck at the acceptance stage.

How to avoid it

  • The acceptance standard must be "quantifiable and workable", with clear test methods and pass values
  • We suggest "three-level acceptance": appearance check (visual standard) → dimensional check (with measuring tools) → functional test (test in actual use)
  • The standard for each level must be clear, for example "appearance: filament arranged neatly, with no obvious slant; dimensions: ±0.1mm; function: run for 10 minutes at a speed of 500rpm, shedding rate <1%"
  • Agree the test instruments and methods (for example "measured with vernier calipers, taking the average of 3 points")
  • Set an acceptance period and a "deemed acceptance" clause (for example "if no objection is raised within 7 days after delivery, the goods are deemed accepted")

Scenario 4: Unclear intellectual property ownership leads to a design being misappropriated

The scenario Suppose a company invests money in developing an innovative brush design. When it commissions production, the contract says only "design drawings provided by the client" and does not agree the ownership of intellectual property or a confidentiality obligation. Later it discovers that the manufacturer has sold the same design to competitors. Its market advantage is lost, but because the contract has no exclusivity or confidentiality clauses, it is hard to assert its rights after the fact.

How to avoid it

  • The intellectual property clause must cover three aspects: "ownership", "confidentiality" and "exclusivity"
  • Agree clearly that "the ownership and intellectual property rights of the design drawings, technical documents and tooling provided by the client belong to the client"
  • Set a confidentiality clause: "the manufacturer shall not disclose the design, specifications or process to any third party; compensation for breach is 3-5 times the contract amount"
  • Agree exclusivity: "the manufacturer shall not make the same or similar products for a third party without the client's written consent"
  • Termination clause: "after the contract ends, the manufacturer shall destroy or return all design materials and shall not make the related products again"
  • For important designs we suggest also signing a "non-disclosure agreement (NDA)" for double protection

5 checks you must make before signing

Even with a complete contract template, you still need to check item by item before signing, to make sure nothing is missing or vague. Here are the 5 key checks we have put together:

1. Check that the specification is complete

  • Is the filament material stated with its full grade? (for example "food-grade PA66", not just "nylon")
  • Do the dimensions include a tolerance range? (for example "100mm±0.2mm")
  • Are technical drawings or sample photos attached as an appendix?
  • Do the technical terms have specific values or test standards? (for example "hardness ≥Shore A 90")
  • Are the appearance requirements clear? (for example "no scratches on the surface, even color")

2. Check the amounts and payment terms

  • Are the unit price, quantity and total amount written in formal Chinese numerals alongside Arabic digits?
  • Is the payment method clear? (deposit percentage, when the balance is paid)
  • Are the invoice type and the time of issue agreed?
  • Is there a penalty for late payment? Is the way the penalty is calculated clear?
  • If the manufacturer cannot perform, is it clear how the advance payment is refunded?

3. Check the delivery date and penalties

  • Is the starting point of the delivery period clear? (date of signing? date the deposit is received? date the sample is confirmed?)
  • Are the days for delivery "working days" or "calendar days"?
  • Is the penalty rate for delay reasonable? (0.3-0.5% per day is recommended)
  • Is a cap on the penalty set? (5-10% is recommended)
  • Is the force majeure clause too loose? (it should be limited to major events)
  • If the delay is too long, is there a termination clause?

4. Check acceptance and quality standards

  • Is the acceptance standard quantifiable and testable? (avoid subjective wording such as "good quality")
  • Is the sampling ratio agreed? (5-10% is recommended)
  • Are the test methods and instruments clear?
  • Is an acceptance period set? (3-7 working days is recommended)
  • Is it clear how failures are handled? (remake? refund? allowance?)
  • Is a defect liability period agreed? (3-6 months is recommended)

5. Check the intellectual property and confidentiality clauses

  • Is the ownership of the design drawings and tooling clear?
  • Is there a confidentiality clause? Is the compensation for breach large enough to deter? (3-5 times the contract amount is recommended)
  • Is exclusivity agreed? (the manufacturer may not make the same product for others)
  • How are the design materials handled after the contract ends? (destroyed? returned?)
  • Is a separate non-disclosure agreement (NDA) needed?

Management techniques while the contract is being carried out

Signing a complete contract is only the first step. Management while the contract is being carried out is just as important for a smooth cooperation without disputes.

Progress tracking and communication

We suggest a "weekly report system", asking the manufacturer to provide a progress report every week that includes:

  • Production progress: quantity completed, current operation, expected completion date
  • Quality status: results of in-house inspection, explanation of any abnormalities
  • Material status: arrival of raw materials, whether there is a risk of shortage
  • Early warnings: factors that may affect the delivery date or quality

Regular communication brings problems to light early and avoids the awkward situation of discovering just before the delivery date that the goods cannot be delivered on time.

Keeping documents and preserving evidence

While the contract is being carried out, all communication records should be kept properly:

  • Email correspondence: all changes and confirmations should go by email, leaving a timestamp
  • Meeting minutes: minutes should be taken of important discussions and signed by both parties
  • Photos / videos: sample confirmations and in-process checks should be photographed and kept
  • Acceptance report: a full report is prepared at formal acceptance, recording the test data and results

These documents are all key evidence if a dispute arises. Be sure to keep them properly for at least 3 years.

Change management procedure

If the specification, quantity or delivery date needs to change, a formal procedure should be followed:

  1. Raised in writing: the party proposing the change explains the content of the change and the reasons in writing (email or a formal letter)
  2. Impact assessment: the manufacturer assesses the effect of the change on cost and delivery date and provides an assessment report
  3. Negotiation and confirmation: the two parties negotiate the conditions of the change (such as a price increase or an extension) and reach agreement
  4. Signing a change order: a "contract change order" is prepared, stating the content of the change and its effects, with the signatures and seals of both parties
  5. Incorporated into the contract: the change order is regarded as part of the contract and has the same legal effect

Never make changes verbally or confirm them only through a messaging app. These methods lack force as legal evidence and easily give rise to disputes.

Contract transparency and protection of your rights at YC Brushes

YC Brushes knows how much the contract matters to customers. We promise the most transparent and most complete contractual protection:

Our commitment to contract transparency

  • Standard contract template: we provide a standard contract template reviewed by a legal adviser. The clauses are open and transparent, and unfavorable clauses are never hidden
  • Clause-by-clause explanation: before signing, a dedicated member of staff explains the contract clause by clause, to make sure you fully understand the meaning and effect of each one
  • Adjusted to your case: we adjust the contract clauses flexibly to your special needs and do not force you to accept a standard-form contract

Mechanisms that protect your rights

  • Quality guarantee deposit: we set aside 5% of the contract amount on our own initiative as a quality guarantee deposit; if the product does not meet what was agreed, compensation is paid immediately
  • Delivery guarantee: we promise on-time delivery. If a delay is caused by us, we activate the penalty compensation ourselves, without the customer having to chase us
  • Intellectual property protection: a non-disclosure agreement is signed for all design drawings and technical materials provided by customers; the materials are kept in a separate safe and managed by a designated person
  • Dispute mediation: if any dispute arises, negotiation and mediation with the help of an impartial third party come first, to avoid litigation that costs both parties time and money

For over 40 years YC Brushes has worked with several hundred companies, with a contract dispute rate of <0.5% and customer satisfaction of 98%. We show through our actions that "integrity" and "professionalism" are the best foundation for cooperation.

FAQ

A quotation and a verbal agreement also count as a "contract" in law and have some effect, but they are hard to prove and easily give rise to disputes. A quotation usually contains only basic information such as price and quantity, and lacks important clauses such as specification details, quality standards, delivery penalties and intellectual property. Once a dispute arises, it is very hard to prove what the two parties really agreed. A verbal agreement is even harder to prove and turns into "one party's word against the other's". We therefore strongly recommend always signing a complete written contract that sets out every detail; only then are the rights of both parties effectively protected. Even with a long-standing supplier, it is better to settle the terms courteously at the outset than to argue later, and to use the contract to establish clear rules of the game.

A contract can of course be amended after it is signed, but the formal "contract change procedure" must be followed for the change to have legal effect. The correct approach is: (1) the party proposing the change explains the content of the change and the reasons in writing; (2) the other party assesses the impact and puts forward its conditions (such as a price increase or an extension); (3) after the two parties negotiate and reach agreement, a "contract change order" or "supplementary agreement" is prepared, stating the content of the change, the reason and the effect on price and delivery date; (4) the responsible persons of both parties sign and seal it, and the change order is regarded as part of the original contract. Never confirm a change only verbally, by phone or through a messaging app such as LINE. These lack force as legal evidence and later easily lead to a dispute over "whether the change was actually agreed". Every change must be "in black and white" to be safe.

I do not fully understand the contract template the manufacturer has provided, and some clauses are unfavorable to me. Can it be amended?

Of course! A contract is the result of "mutual agreement" between the two parties, not something imposed by one side. If the contract the manufacturer provides contains clauses you do not understand or are not satisfied with, do not sign it reluctantly. Raise them for discussion and amendment. We suggest: (1) read every clause carefully and ask the other party to explain, clause by clause, anything you do not understand; (2) for unfavorable clauses (such as excessive liquidated damages, unreasonable payment terms or a vague definition of the specification), ask clearly for an amendment; (3) if the other party refuses to amend, assess the level of risk in the clause and decide whether to accept it or look for another manufacturer. You can also ask YC Brushes to help review the contract. Our team with over 40 years of experience can quickly identify unreasonable clauses and suggest amendments to protect your rights.

How should the "liquidated damages" clause in a contract be designed to be reasonable? What is the problem if it is too high or too low?

Liquidated damages should be designed to be "reasonable and binding". Too low (for example 1% of the total) has no deterrent effect: a breach costs the other party next to nothing, and the clause exists in name only. Too high (for example 50% of the total) may be reduced by a court to a reasonable amount under Article 252 of Taiwan's Civil Code, so that your rights end up unprotected. Suggestions for a reasonable design: (1) Late delivery: 0.3-0.5% per day, with a cap of 5-10%; (2) Quality non-conformity: the proportion of rejected goods × unit price × 2-3 times, or a requirement to remake free of charge; (3) Specification change (made without consent): 5-10% of the total contract amount; (4) Breach of confidentiality / infringement of intellectual property: 3-5 times the total contract amount (because the loss is hard to estimate, a stronger deterrent is needed). When designing the clause you can refer to industry practice, and state the method of calculation clearly in the contract to avoid disputes.

If a dispute arises during the OEM project, what choices are there for the "dispute resolution method" agreed in the contract? Which is most favorable to me?

There are 3 common dispute resolution methods in contracts: (1) Negotiation and mediation: the two parties, or an impartial third party they invite (such as a trade association or a mediation committee), work through communication toward a settlement. The advantages are that it is fast, low in cost and does not damage the relationship; the disadvantage is that it only works if both parties agree, and if no settlement is reached it has no binding force (a settlement reached before a township or city mediation committee and approved by a court has the same effect as a final civil judgment). (2) Arbitration: arbitration is conducted by an arbitration institution agreed by both parties (in Taiwan, for example, the Chinese Arbitration Association, Taipei). The arbitral award has the same effect as a final court judgment, but as a rule it can only be enforced after a court ruling permits enforcement. The advantages are that it is professional, quick (usually concluded within 6 months) and not public; the disadvantages are that arbitration fees are higher and there is no appeal. (3) Litigation: a civil action is brought in court and decided by a judge. The advantages are that it is impartial and can be appealed; the disadvantages are that it takes a long time, costs a lot, and the public hearing affects business reputation. Suggested strategy: agree in the contract that "negotiation and mediation come first; if mediation fails, the dispute is submitted to arbitration within 30 days", which balances efficiency and protection. In addition, be sure to agree that the "court of jurisdiction / place of arbitration" is where you are located, to reduce the cost of travel.
