These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Shipping-Container.com (the "Site") operated by Shipping-Container.com. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms.
1. What we provide
The Site helps you explore shipping container options, compare indicative pricing, request quotes, and connect with third-party suppliers and service providers. We are an information and lead-generation platform—not a container seller, lessor, or transporter unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.
2. Quotes and pricing
Instant quotes and price ranges shown on the Site are estimates based on available supplier data, regional indexes, and your inputs. Final pricing, availability, delivery terms, taxes, and fees are confirmed only by the applicable supplier. We do not guarantee that any quote will be honored at the displayed amount.
3. Accounts
Some features may require an account. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for activity under your account. We may suspend accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law.
4. User submissions
When you submit forms (quotes, contact requests, seller applications, newsletter signups), you represent that your information is accurate and that you have authority to provide it. You grant us permission to use submissions to respond to you, operate the Site, and share relevant leads with suppliers or partners where appropriate.
5. Third-party suppliers
Suppliers listed on the Site are independent parties. We do not warrant their performance, licensing, insurance, or compliance. Any contract for purchase, rental, delivery, or conversion is between you and the supplier.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Site for unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purposes
- Scrape, overload, or interfere with Site systems
- Submit false or misleading information
- Infringe intellectual property or privacy rights of others
7. Intellectual property
Site content, branding, and software are owned by us or our licensors. You may not copy or redistribute Site materials except as allowed by law or with our written consent.
8. Disclaimers
THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON SITE CONTENT OR QUOTES.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your use of the Site, your submissions, or your dealings with third-party suppliers, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
11. Dispute resolution
Before filing a claim, contact us at hello@shipping-container.com to seek informal resolution. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except where prohibited by law. You waive class actions to the extent permitted. Nothing limits non-waivable consumer rights in your jurisdiction.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest version. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
