Who you are contracting with

1. Quotes and orders

Product listings are an invitation to treat, not an offer. A contract is formed only when we confirm your order in writing. Written quotes are valid for 14 days unless stated otherwise. We may decline or cancel an order — including where a product has been listed at a materially incorrect price, or where stock is unavailable — and will refund you in full if we do.

2. Prices and taxes

Prices are in US dollars. Delivery is included in the listed price for containers and cabins priced at $2,000 or more, in line with our Shipping & Delivery Policy. Where a flat delivery fee applies (orders under $2,000), it is charged separately and shown at checkout.

3. Payment

Payment terms are set out on your invoice. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, full payment is required before shipment or collection. For custom and modified units a deposit is generally required to commence work, with the balance payable before delivery. Goods remain our property until payment is received in full.

4. Delivery, title and risk

We supply and deliver within United States only. We do not ship internationally and do not accept orders for delivery outside United States. Delivery timeframes are estimates — see our Shipping & Delivery Policy for handling, transit and total delivery times. Title passes to you on full payment; risk passes to you on delivery or collection. Site readiness and access are your responsibility, and failed-delivery and redelivery fees apply where a site is not ready or accessible.

5. Condition of goods

Used and second-hand containers are sold in the condition described in the listing or quote. Surface rust, dents, patch repairs, previous paintwork and residual markings are normal characteristics of used shipping containers and are not defects. Where a container is described as wind and watertight, it will be so at the time of delivery. Grade definitions are set out on our Warranty page.

6. Consumer guarantees

Products must match their listed description and the condition stated in your order. Nothing in these terms excludes any rights or remedies that cannot be waived under applicable law. Report defective, damaged or incorrectly supplied goods using our Refund & Returns Policy.

7. Returns and cancellation

Returns, refunds and cancellations are governed by our Refund & Returns Policy, which forms part of these terms.

8. Modifications and intended use

Where a unit is modified to your specification, you are responsible for ensuring the specification meets your intended use and any applicable building, planning or local authority requirements. We do not provide engineering, planning or building certification unless expressly agreed in writing.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, and subject to clause 6, our liability for any claim is limited to the replacement or repair of the goods, the resupply of equivalent goods, or payment of the cost of doing so, at our option. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

10. Intellectual property

All content on this website is owned by us or used under licence and may not be reproduced without permission.

11. Website use

You agree not to use this website for any unlawful purpose, to interfere with its operation, or to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of it. We aim to keep product information accurate but do not warrant that listings are free from error.

12. Privacy

We handle your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

13. Force majeure

We are not liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including weather, industrial action, transport disruption, port congestion or supply shortages. Where such an event occurs we will contact you and agree a revised timeframe or refund you.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page when you place your order is the version that applies to that order.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the applicable laws of Michigan and the United States. This provision does not limit any mandatory consumer protections or other rights that apply to your purchase.
