1. General Website Information
The information provided by Shipping Container Transport LTD on this website is for general informational, educational, and commercial inquiry purposes only. While we make every effort to keep all product specifications, container dimensions, pricing, and availability up to date and accurate, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability.
Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own discretion. Customers are encouraged to confirm specific engineering, logistical, and architectural details directly with our team prior to purchasing.
2. Product Representation & Used Container Condition
Photographs, 3D renderings, and diagrams displayed across our website are intended to provide representative illustrations of our standard shipping containers, High Cube containers, office containers, reefer units, and container pool conversions.
- Used & Refurbished Containers: Used shipping containers have previous service history in ocean and rail freight. As a result, used units will naturally exhibit cosmetic imperfections such as surface scratches, minor dents, weathering, exterior rust patina, or varied original shipping line logos and colors. These cosmetic factors do not compromise Wind & Water Tight (WWT) structural integrity.
- Color Variations: Exact paint shades and factory finishes may vary between batches unless custom RAL paint codes are explicitly contracted in a custom modification agreement.
3. Local Zoning, Permits, HOA & Building Codes
Municipal planning laws, municipal zoning bylaws, neighborhood Homeowners Association (HOA) rules, and regional building codes vary significantly across states, counties, and cities regarding the placement, permanent foundation, and habitable conversion of shipping containers.
It is the sole responsibility of the buyer/property owner to verify and obtain all necessary zoning clearances, building permits, environmental approvals, and HOA permissions before purchasing and scheduling container delivery. Shipping Container Transport LTD assumes no liability for fines, delivery refusals, relocation orders, or legal actions resulting from non-compliant site placement.
4. Site Access, Ground Preparation & Delivery Liability
Shipping container delivery vehicles (including 40ft tilt-bed trailers and heavy crane/HIAB trucks) require adequate clearance and solid ground conditions:
- Site Accessibility: The customer must ensure clear access paths free of low-hanging electrical powerlines, tree branches, soft terrain, mud, steep inclines, and narrow gate openings.
- Ground Subsidence: Containers must be placed on firm, level, well-drained ground supported by concrete piers, gravel pads, or hardwood timber dunnage. We are not liable for container shifting, door misalignment, or settling caused by inadequate site foundation preparation.
- Unsuccessful Delivery: If delivery cannot be completed due to inaccessible site conditions, overhead hazards, or soft ground, additional attempted delivery, standby, or return freight charges will apply.
5. Custom Modifications & Container Pools
Shipping containers modified into habitable spaces (e.g., offices, studios, workshops) or recreational features (e.g., Container Pools) require specialized engineering, electrical hookups, and professional plumbing.
Structural Integrity & Cutouts
Modifying or cutting steel container walls without certified structural reinforcement framing can compromise load capacity. Professional engineering review is recommended for extensive third-party modifications.
Container Pools Installation
Container pools must be installed on certified engineered foundations with licensed plumbing and electrical filtration connections in accordance with local safety and pool barrier regulations.
6. Reefer & Temperature Control Equipment
While our Reefer Shipping Containers are thoroughly tested and inspected prior to delivery, maintaining continuous temperature regulation requires proper operating conditions:
- Power Supply Requirements: The buyer must ensure stable, dedicated 3-phase electrical power matching the refrigeration unit specifications.
- Perishable Goods Liability: We are not liable for spoilage or loss of stored perishable products, food inventory, or pharmaceuticals caused by external electrical power outages, improper temperature setting, or failure to perform routine maintenance.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Shipping Container Transport LTD, its directors, employees, affiliates, or transport partners be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages—including loss of revenue, profits, data, inventory spoilage, business interruption, or personal property damage—arising from or in connection with the purchase, delivery, placement, or use of any shipping container or conversion product.
