I strongly recomend that relevant parties put everything in a contract and this will be the best way to solve such kind of issue. From your statement we know your business is on a sample product basis, this makes you obtain the rights to refuse to conduct any further payment and claim refund of prepaid money and also to claim damage for such breach of contract of your vendor. What you need to do is just: 1. Draft a detailed contract with your vendor, to include all possibilities which may occur in the future business; 2. Preserve the sample as a legal proof to support your possilble claim, legalize and notarize the sample product when you deem necessary (the official fee PRC notary authority charges is about 500RMB ); When disputes arise, you may raise an argue against the vendor. If you retain us as your lawyer to represent you in the case, the retainer fee will be much lower than that of you expect, say about 20% to 30% of the involved payment. We trust the above is a legal, sufficient and best way to solve your disputes in international business. We also believe you would try in this way again and again after you use us once. Remember there is not shortcut...Wish you get best price and best service in China trading...
