Please note that the second order should be different from the order for the samples. Both cannot be combined in a single order.


3.  The MDF Request Process

For all marketing activities, requests must be submitted through the MDF Request process and must be approved by JHCTECH before partners begin their activity. Partners are responsible for covering all activity costs in advance. Only once an activity is complete can a reimbursement claim be submitted.

Reimbursement of costs is subject to the rules and policies in this guide. Only approved activities are covered under the MDF Request process; partners are responsible for the costs of activities that are not approved.

Please note, an approved request does not guarantee reimbursement. Only requests submitted through the MDFRequest form will be considered. Verbal or email agreements do not constitute approval and will not be reimbursed.

Completed forms can be submitted by email to marketing@jhctech.com.cn
