By accessing our Site, placing an order, or otherwise engaging with our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our Site or purchase our products.

3. Products & Pricing

Product Descriptions: We strive to display accurate descriptions, specifications, and images of our shipping containers. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions, colors, or other content are error-free. Container conditions (e.g., cargo-worthy, wind & watertight, as-is) are described in good faith based on industry standards.

Pricing: All prices are listed in United States Dollars (USD) and are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any product at any time. In the event of a pricing error on our Site, we reserve the right to cancel any orders placed at the incorrect price.

Quotes: Quotes provided by our sales team are valid for 14 days from the date of issuance unless otherwise stated. Quotes are not binding until accepted and payment is received.

4. Orders & Payment

Order Acceptance: Your receipt of an order confirmation email does not constitute our acceptance of your order. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order for any reason, including product availability, pricing errors, suspected fraud, or violation of these Terms.

Payment Terms: Full payment is required before your container is dispatched. We accept Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) and Bank Transfers (ACH/Wire). Your order will be processed only after funds have fully cleared in our accounts (see our Payment Policy for details).
