Legal
Terms, privacy and trade compliance information for Stratum Meridiem LLC. Last updated October 31, 2026.
B2B Terms of Service
These Terms govern all quotations, orders and sales by Stratum Meridiem LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Stratum Meridiem”, “we”, “us”), to the business customer identified in the inquiry or order (“Buyer”).
1. Business customers only
We sell exclusively to registered businesses purchasing for resale or commercial use, not for personal, family or household purposes. By submitting an inquiry or order, Buyer represents that it is a duly organized business and that the signatory is authorized to bind it.
2. Account verification and credit
We may require company registration, tax identification, trade references and beneficial-ownership information before sharing pricing, extending credit or accepting an order, and may decline or suspend any account at our discretion.
3. Quotations and pricing
Quotations are stated in U.S. dollars, are valid only for the period they state and are not an offer capable of acceptance unless signed by us. Prices depend on supplier availability, volume, exchange rates and freight, and may change before an order is confirmed.
4. Orders and acceptance
An order is binding only when we confirm it in writing. Product specifications, quantities and delivery windows are those stated in the order confirmation. Orders may not be cancelled or modified after confirmation without our written consent.
5. Payment
Payment is due in U.S. dollars by wire transfer or another method we approve, on the terms stated in the order confirmation, without set-off or deduction. Overdue amounts accrue interest at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, and we may suspend shipments while any amount is overdue. Buyer bears all bank charges.
6. Delivery, title and risk of loss
Delivery terms follow the Incoterms® 2020 rule stated in the order confirmation. Delivery dates are estimates only and depend on suppliers, carriers, customs and other third parties; we are not liable for delay. Unless otherwise agreed, title passes to Buyer on full payment and risk of loss passes under the stated Incoterms rule.
7. Inspection, claims and returns
Buyer must inspect goods on receipt and notify us in writing of visible damage, shortages or non-conformity within the period stated in the order confirmation (and in any case within seven days of delivery), with supporting photographs and documents. Goods may be returned only with our prior written authorization.
8. Warranty disclaimer
Goods are sold with the manufacturer’s warranty, if any, which we pass through to Buyer to the extent permitted. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN WRITING, WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
9. Intellectual property and resale
Buyer acquires no right in any trademark, logo or copyright of Stratum Meridiem, its suppliers or brand owners. Buyer will resell goods only in compliance with applicable brand, distribution and consumer-protection requirements, and will not alter, relabel or misrepresent goods.
10. Compliance with laws
Each party will comply with all applicable laws, including export control, sanctions, customs, anti-bribery (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), anti-money-laundering and forced-labor laws. Buyer will not resell, re-export or divert goods in violation of those laws, and will provide accurate end-use, end-user and consignee information. We may suspend or cancel any order we reasonably believe would breach this clause.
11. Taxes and duties
Prices exclude taxes, duties, tariffs, customs fees and similar charges in the destination country, which are Buyer’s responsibility unless the order confirmation states otherwise.
12. Force majeure
Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, strikes, port or carrier disruption, government action, sanctions, tariffs or export and import restrictions.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STRATUM MERIDIEM IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFIT, REVENUE OR BUSINESS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM ANY ORDER IS LIMITED TO THE PRICE PAID FOR THE GOODS GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
14. Indemnification
Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Stratum Meridiem from third-party claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Buyer’s resale or use of the goods, its breach of these Terms or its violation of law.
15. Confidentiality
Each party will keep confidential the other’s non-public pricing, supplier, customer and commercial information and use it only to perform the transaction, except as required by law.
16. Governing law and venue
These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. The state and federal courts located in Salt Lake County, Utah have exclusive jurisdiction, and each party submits to them.
17. General
These Terms, together with the quotation and order confirmation, are the entire agreement and supersede prior discussions. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Buyer may not assign its rights without our written consent. Notices must be in writing and sent to the contact details in this site’s footer or the Buyer’s address on the order. These Terms are drafted in English, which prevails over any translation. We may update these Terms; the version in force at the time of an order applies to it.
Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Stratum Meridiem LLC, 357 S 200 E, Suite 310, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, is the controller of the personal information described here. Contact: info@stratummeridiem.com.
2. Information we collect
Through our inquiry form and communications we collect company name, contact person’s name, business email, company tax or registration number, inquiry type, message content and any details you send us later. We do not collect payment card data on this site. This site does not use advertising or tracking cookies; it stores only your language choice in your browser.
3. How and why we use it
We use it to verify your business and respond to your inquiry; prepare quotations, orders and shipping and customs documents; manage the commercial relationship; screen parties under sanctions and export laws; keep required records; and protect against fraud. Our bases are performance of a contract or steps requested before one, our legitimate business interests, legal obligations and, where required, your consent.
4. Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We share it with providers that help us operate (freight forwarders, carriers, customs brokers, banks, IT and email providers) under confidentiality obligations, and with government authorities or advisers when required by law or to protect legal rights. If we are involved in a merger or sale of business, information may transfer to the successor.
5. International transfers
We operate from the United States and work with partners in Asia and Latin America, so your information may be processed in countries whose data-protection laws differ from yours. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
6. Retention and security
We keep information for as long as needed for the purposes above and to meet legal, tax, customs and export-control record-keeping periods (generally at least five years for export records). We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, but no system is completely secure.
7. Your rights
Depending on your location and applicable law (which may include Ecuador’s personal data protection law, the EU/UK GDPR or U.S. state laws), you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection, and withdraw consent. Write to us at the email above; we may need to verify your identity and will respond within the time the law requires.
8. Business contacts and children
This site is intended for business professionals. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
9. Changes
We will post updates on this page and revise the date above. Material changes will be communicated to active customers.
Import Compliance Statement
1. Our commitment
Stratum Meridiem conducts international trade in accordance with applicable laws of the United States and of the countries where goods are sourced, shipped and delivered. We expect the same from our buyers, suppliers and logistics partners.
2. U.S. export controls and sanctions
We comply with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). We screen buyers, consignees and end users against U.S. government restricted-party lists, classify goods, determine license requirements, and file Electronic Export Information through the Automated Export System where required. We do not supply sanctioned persons, entities or territories, or goods for prohibited end uses such as weapons, military or surveillance applications.
3. Supply-chain integrity
We expect suppliers to meet applicable labor, safety and origin requirements. We do not knowingly source goods made with forced labor, including goods covered by the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, and we may request origin documentation and suspend any supplier or shipment that cannot be verified. We prohibit bribery and improper payments in any form.
4. Classification, valuation and documentation
Goods are described accurately, classified under the Harmonized System, and declared at their true transaction value and country of origin. Each shipment is accompanied by the documents required for export and import, typically a commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading or air waybill, plus insurance, certificates of origin and product certificates where applicable.
5. Importing into Ecuador
The importer of record in Ecuador is responsible for meeting local requirements. As a general guide, importers must hold an active RUC issued by the SRI and be registered with the customs service (SENAE) in the ECUAPASS system, which requires an electronic signature token; the use of a licensed customs agent is advisable. Products subject to mandatory technical regulations (RTE INEN or NTE INEN) may require an INEN Certificate of Recognition (INEN-1); telecommunications and wireless equipment may require ARCOTEL approval; and certain electrical products must carry an energy-efficiency label. Requirements change and depend on the product, so Buyer must confirm them for each item before ordering.
6. Buyer responsibilities and our rights
Buyer is responsible for import licensing, permits, product standards, labeling, duties and taxes in the destination country, for accurate consignee and end-use information, and for not re-exporting goods in breach of U.S. or other applicable law. We may delay, suspend, cancel or refuse any transaction, without liability, if we suspect a violation or a screening hit.
7. Records and reporting
We retain export and trade records for at least five years. To report a suspected compliance concern or ask about a specific product or shipment, contact info@stratummeridiem.com.
