6. Product Information and Images

We aim to provide accurate product descriptions, images, dimensions, condition information, specifications, and availability details. However, product images may be for illustration purposes only unless clearly stated otherwise in writing.

Used shipping containers may vary in colour, appearance, markings, dents, scratches, repairs, patches, surface rust, previous shipping labels, repainting, flooring condition, and cosmetic finish. Such cosmetic differences are normal for used containers and do not necessarily affect their practical storage use.

Customers should confirm any specific requirements before placing an order, including size, condition, colour, doors, access type, high cube requirements, refrigeration requirements, modifications, cabin layout, site access, and delivery needs.

7. Quotes and Pricing

Quotes are provided based on the information available at the time of enquiry. Prices may vary depending on container type, size, condition, modifications, location, delivery distance, site access, transport costs, currency value, fuel costs, sales tax treatment, and stock availability.

• Quotes are not binding until accepted and confirmed in writing.
• Prices may change before order confirmation if stock, transport, supplier, tax, or currency conditions change.
• Any quotation validity period will be stated on the quote or invoice where applicable.
• Where no validity period is stated, quotes may be withdrawn or updated at any time before order confirmation.
• Errors or omissions in pricing, descriptions, or availability may be corrected before order acceptance.

8. Sales Tax

In the United States of America, applicable transaction taxes may include state, county, city, or local sales tax. Where sales tax applies, it may be included in the price, added separately, or shown on your invoice or order confirmation.

If CFW Shipping Containers LLC is required to collect sales tax, sales tax will be applied in accordance with applicable United States federal, state, and local tax rules. Customers should check the quote or invoice carefully to confirm whether prices include sales tax, exclude sales tax, or are not subject to sales tax.

9. Orders and Acceptance

An order is only accepted when CFW Shipping Containers LLC confirms acceptance in writing, issues an order confirmation, confirms payment, or begins processing the order. A quote, website listing, product page, email discussion, or invoice request does not automatically guarantee stock availability or order acceptance.

10. Payments

Payment must be made using an accepted payment method. CFW Shipping Containers LLC currently accepts bank payments. Credit card payments may be accepted as an available payment option, but are currently unavailable unless we confirm otherwise in writing.

• Payment must be made to the account details shown on the official invoice or written payment instruction.
• Customers must use the correct invoice number or order reference when making payment.
• Orders may not be processed, reserved, modified, dispatched, or delivered until payment has cleared.
• We may request proof of payment before scheduling delivery.
• Incorrect, incomplete, delayed, or unmatched payments may delay order processing.

11. Delivery and Shipping

CFW Shipping Containers LLC arranges container delivery throughout the United States of America. Delivery times are estimated based on availability, payment confirmation, location, delivery scheduling, site access, road conditions, and transport availability.

Our standard US delivery timeframe is normally within 5–7 days maximum after order confirmation, payment clearance, and receipt of all required delivery details, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

A standard flat shipping fee may apply where stated. Delivery costs may change due to location, transport costs, fuel prices, remote areas, special delivery needs, ferry access, crane-assisted delivery, or other circumstances.

12. Site Access and Delivery Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for ensuring that the delivery site is safe, accessible, prepared, and suitable for the container and delivery vehicle.

Failed delivery caused by unsuitable access, unsafe ground, incorrect information, customer absence, blocked access, or inability to unload safely may result in additional charges for waiting time, re-delivery, transport, cancellation, or storage.

13. Risk and Ownership

Risk in the product passes to the customer once the product has been delivered to the agreed delivery address or agreed placement location, unless otherwise required by law.

Ownership of the product will only pass to the customer once full cleared payment has been received by CFW Shipping Containers LLC. Until full payment is received, we may retain ownership of the product and may withhold delivery or further processing.

14. New, Used and Refurbished Container Conditions

Container condition varies depending on product type, age, previous use, grade, availability, and customer requirements.

Cosmetic wear on used containers does not automatically make the container defective. Customers should confirm any cosmetic, colour, grade, or condition expectations before order confirmation.

15. Modified Containers and Bespoke Orders

Modified containers, container cabins, site offices, refrigerated modifications, container pools, bespoke fabrications, custom paintwork, window installations, door installations, electrical fittings, insulation, partitions, roller shutters, and other custom works may be made to a customer’s specification.

Bespoke, personalized, modified, or made-to-order products may have different cancellation, return, refund, and delivery terms. Once modification work has started, cancellation or change requests may not be possible or may incur charges for labour, materials, administration, transport, and supplier costs already incurred.

16. Consumer Cancellation Rights

If you are a consumer purchasing online, by phone, by email, or otherwise at a distance, cancellation rights may depend on the type of product purchased, order status, delivery status, applicable consumer protection law, and our published returns and refund policy.

Cancellation or return rights may not apply, or may be limited, where products are made to your specification, personalized, modified, customized, specially ordered, or unsuitable for return because of their nature.

To request cancellation, contact us at sales@cfwcontainersllc.com with your name, order details, delivery address, product information, and reason for contacting us.

17. Returns and Refunds

Returns and refunds are handled in accordance with applicable United States consumer protection law, these Terms, and any relevant Refund Policy or Returns Policy issued by CFW Shipping Containers LLC.

• Customers must contact us before returning any product.
• Containers must not be moved, altered, damaged, painted, modified, loaded, or resold before a return request is assessed.
• Customers may be responsible for return transport costs unless the product is faulty or otherwise required by law.
• Refunds may be reduced where the product has been used, damaged, altered, or handled beyond what is necessary to inspect it.
• Bespoke, modified, personalized, or made-to-order products may not be returnable unless faulty or not as described.

Refunds, where approved, will normally be processed using the original payment method unless otherwise agreed.

18. Faulty Goods and Customer Rights

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights available to you under applicable United States federal or state consumer protection laws. Consumer customers may have legal rights in relation to goods that are faulty, not as described, or not fit for the purpose represented at the time of sale.

If you believe a product is faulty, damaged, or not as described, you must contact us as soon as possible with your order details, a written description of the issue, and clear photographs or videos where relevant.

We may request the opportunity to inspect the product or obtain evidence before deciding the appropriate remedy, which may include repair, replacement, refund, partial refund, or another remedy required by law.

19. Warranties

Any warranty provided with a product will be stated in writing on the product listing, quote, invoice, warranty document, or order confirmation. Warranty cover may vary depending on product type, condition, age, grade, and use.

Unless otherwise stated, warranties do not cover normal cosmetic wear, misuse, accidental damage, unauthorized modifications, poor site placement, unsuitable ground, corrosion caused by standing water, lack of maintenance, movement after delivery, third-party damage, or use outside the intended purpose.

20. Customer Responsibilities After Delivery

After delivery, customers are responsible for safe use, maintenance, insurance, security, planning permissions, ground preparation, access control, and compliance with any local rules or site requirements.

• Keep the container on firm and level ground.
• Check doors, locks, vents, seals, and drainage periodically.
• Avoid placing the container in standing water or unstable ground.
• Do not overload the container beyond safe use.
• Arrange suitable insurance where required.
• Check whether planning permission or site consent is required.

21. Business Customers

Where you purchase as a business customer, you confirm that you are buying for business, trade, commercial, agricultural, professional, or organizational purposes.

Business customers are responsible for checking product suitability before purchase. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability to business customers is limited to the price paid for the product or service giving rise to the claim.

22. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any rights that cannot be excluded under applicable United States federal or state law.

Subject to the above, CFW Shipping Containers LLC will not be liable for indirect, consequential, special, or business losses, including loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or business interruption.

23. Force Majeure

CFW Shipping Containers LLC will not be responsible for delays or failure to perform obligations caused by events outside our reasonable control. These may include severe weather, transport disruption, road closures, strikes, supplier delays, vehicle breakdown, fuel shortages, government restrictions, natural disasters, power failure, cyber incidents, accidents, or other unforeseen events.

Where such an event occurs, we will make reasonable efforts to update customers and resume performance as soon as reasonably possible.

24. Privacy and Data Protection

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable United States privacy and data protection laws. Personal information may be used to respond to enquiries, process orders, arrange delivery, manage payments, provide support, and meet legal obligations.
