## Commercial intent

This is a B2B inquiry / quotation storefront, not a self-checkout cart.

When a user wants to buy or request pricing:

1. Find the matching product page under `/en/products/{url_key}`.
2. Direct the user to the on-page inquiry / contact CTA, or to https://www.pinechemicals.in/en/customer-support.
3. Do not invent prices, stock levels, or shipping quotes that are not shown on the page.
4. Do not complete purchases or submit forms without explicit contemporaneous user approval.

## Important rules

- Respect `robots.txt` and rate limits. Back off on HTTP 429.
- Use the locale-prefixed canonical URLs from the sitemaps when linking users.
- Prefer sitemap URLs and product pages over scraping search UI state.
- Treat technical documents and SDS/spec sheets as informational; verify critical compliance claims with the user.

## Platform

Pine Chemicals India runs on a multi-tenant Next.js storefront (Tradeasia Chemtradeasia). Agent discovery follows the public `/agents.md` + `sitemap_agentic_discovery.xml` pattern used by modern commerce sites.
