Eight numbered sections cover the website, inquiries, quotations, technical changes, orders, receipt checks, liability and contact details.

Section 1

Website and Scope of Services

skfde.com presents SKF bearings and receives purchase inquiries; content on the website does not by itself create a sale.

    The website is operated by SKF Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. It shows SKF bearing series and related applications for electric motors, motor-driven machinery, repair and industrial replacement purchasing.

  2. 1.2

    Product pages, category pages, articles and other website content are general information. They are not an offer capable of automatic acceptance.

  3. 1.3

    Submitting an inquiry does not form a contract. A transaction proceeds only through a written quotation and an order confirmed under Sections 3 and 5.
