The quotation of optical fiber laser cutting machine is the index price that the manufacturer provides to the buyer for reference according to the cost and profit needs. It is different from the final transaction price and the future settlement price. We must make clear the relationship between them. At the same time, the quotation given by the manufacturer is different. Now let’s understand what the differences are.
1、 Official quotation
At the inquiry stage, according to the customer’s needs, the manufacturer will quote for the optical fiber laser cutting machine according to the recent price factors such as the optical fiber laser cutting machine market, raw material market, labor market, and transportation market. On this basis, bargaining can also let customers know the price grade set by the manufacturer.
2、 Transaction price
The transaction price is also called the contract price. The purchaser decides to purchase the optical fiber laser cutting machine, and the other party is solely responsible for the design, production, delivery, installation and other work. The final price signed in the contract is also the price recognized by law. If there is no change, this is the final settlement price.
3、 Settlement price
In the actual settlement stage, the funds delivered by both parties may be far from the transaction price, because there will be market changes in the middle. If the contract does not expressly stipulate, the manufacturer may change the initial pricing, or the buyer may change the use of the equipment in the middle of the process. Increase the difficulty, or increase other design and manufacturing requirements, resulting in increased costs. Due to the increase of the manufacturer’s cost, the price will naturally rise. In another case, due to the manufacturer’s reasons, the manufacturer cannot guarantee the quality and quantity. This leads to unilateral breach of contract, and there will naturally be liquidated damages or deductions beyond the agreed time, resulting in differences between the settlement price and the original agreed price.
