ATABAŞ GROUP – Trade Terms & Compliance Policy
Purchase and Sales Conditions
Dear Customers, Suppliers, and Business Partners of ATABAŞ GROUP,
ATABAŞ GROUP conducts international trade with many of the world’s leading companies and consistently prioritizes secure, transparent, and professionally executed transactions.
However, due to the increasing number of meaningless procedures, fabricated documents, and unprofessional practices in global markets, ATABAŞ GROUP has decided to strictly limit its commercial relationships. From this point forward, we will not engage with companies that attempt to complicate trade with unrealistic rules or unverified processes.
Companies wishing to work with ATABAŞ GROUP must fully comply with the following purchase and sales conditions. Any company that fails to meet these standards will be excluded from trade without exception.
Condition 1: Mandatory Proof of Product Existence
Any supplier claiming to own or sell a product must clearly and definitively prove the existence of that product. ATABAŞ GROUP will not initiate or continue any transaction with individuals, companies, or organizations that fail to provide verified proof of product existence.
EN590 10 PPM – Proof of Product
In petroleum trade, product existence is proven through a Q&Q (Quality & Quantity) report issued by SGS or an equivalent internationally recognized inspection company.
A recent SGS report confirms that the product exists, meets specifications, and remains available for sale.
Moreover, counterparties can verify the authenticity of the report directly through the SGS approval system. Without this verification, the transaction does not proceed.
Condition 2: Official and Verifiable Communication Only
Documents such as ICPO, LOI, FCO, SCO, or similar commercial papers are accepted only if they arrive through a single, official company communication channel.
ATABAŞ GROUP will not accept:
- Documents sent via WhatsApp, Telegram, or informal platforms
- Digitally copied or manipulated documents
- Files stamped with unverifiable seals or signatures
All documents must be sent directly from a corporate email address linked to the company’s official website.
JET A1 – Communication Rules
ATABAŞ GROUP strictly blocks emails sent from anonymous domains such as:
- gmail.com
- mail.ru
- yahoo.com
- proton.me
Additionally, we will not engage with companies that:
- Lack a functional corporate website
- Hide WHOIS domain information
- Fail to present transparent corporate data
In such cases, communication ends immediately and trade does not begin.
Condition 3: NCNDA and Commission Rules
Intermediaries must never request or sign an NCNDA or commission agreement before trade formally begins and before the supplier provides verified proof of product.
Only after:
- Proof of product exists
- A Commercial Invoice is issued
- Trade officially commences
may an NCNDA, commission agreement, or commission invoice be executed.
Addressing Intermediary Concerns
Intermediaries sometimes fear losing their sellers. ATABAŞ GROUP acknowledges this concern and offers corporate-level protection, including written confirmations if required.
However, if an intermediary does not trust ATABAŞ GROUP and refuses to disclose the seller under any condition, then no transaction will take place. Trust is a non-negotiable requirement.
Condition 4: Verification of All Documents
For any document, email, or signed content claiming association with ATABAŞ GROUP, counterparties must verify authenticity exclusively through the official contact details listed on our website.
ATABAŞ GROUP bears no responsibility for:
- Documents sent without our knowledge
- Altered or copied commercial information
- Transactions conducted through unauthorized contacts
Warning on Altered Commercial Information
Unauthorized changes to commercial documents can cause severe financial and legal consequences. Therefore, no company may hold ATABAŞ GROUP responsible for actions taken without our direct confirmation.
Condition 5: Professional Conduct Is Mandatory
Trade requires respect, discipline, and professionalism. ATABAŞ GROUP immediately terminates negotiations with any individual or organization that demonstrates:
- Inappropriate language or tone
- Unprofessional messaging
- Disrespectful communication
Regardless of transaction size, ATABAŞ GROUP does not tolerate such behavior.
No intermediary, buyer, or representative holds authority over ATABAŞ GROUP. Any individual acting otherwise accepts full responsibility for their actions. Failure to read this policy does not constitute an excuse.
In exceptional cases, ATABAŞ GROUP may offer a second chance. However, repeated violations result in permanent exclusion from all future trade.
Final Statement
The principles outlined above represent the non-negotiable trade standards of ATABAŞ GROUP.
These conditions take effect as of the publication date and remain closed to discussion.
This policy is announced respectfully to the public.
