Supplier Relationship Disclosure
1. Why This Page Exists
Your Stone Office sits between U.S. buyers and factories, fabricators and quarries in China, Vietnam and Cambodia. That position only works if you can trust that our recommendations are based on what suits your project, not on which supplier pays us the most. This page sets out plainly how that relationship works.
2. Our Relationship With Factories
Factories, fabricators and quarries we work with are independent businesses. They are not owned by, and are not employees or subsidiaries of, The Meisei Company, unless specifically stated to you in writing for a given project. Some are long-term partners we have worked with over many years; others are engaged on a project-specific basis after a qualification process.
3. How We Are Compensated
We are compensated by our clients — the buyer, importer, distributor, contractor or project owner who engages us — under one of the engagement models described on this website (Project Diagnostic, One-Time Assignment, Project Engagement, or Monthly Asia Stone Office retainer). Fees are fixed, milestone-based, monthly or calculated on project value, and are stated in writing before work begins.
Where a factory or supplier compensates us in any way in connection with your project — for example, a referral arrangement or volume-based rebate — that arrangement will be disclosed to you in writing before you commit to that supplier, so you can evaluate it as part of your decision.
4. Conflicts of Interest
If we have a financial relationship with a specific supplier that could reasonably affect our recommendation to you, we disclose it before recommending that supplier, not after. If you are ever unsure whether such a relationship exists for a supplier we have proposed, ask us directly and we will tell you.
5. Your Freedom of Choice
You are not obligated to use any supplier we recommend, and you are free to bring your own existing supplier relationships into a project we manage for you. Our role in that case shifts to managing and verifying that relationship, as described on our How We Work page.
