The terms on which Elite Container Supply sells, modifies, delivers and exports shipping containers. Please read them carefully before placing an order.
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website elitecontainerssupply.com and any purchase of goods or services from Elite Container Supply ("ECS", "we", "us" or "our").
By browsing this website, requesting a quote, or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use this website or place an order with us.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you warrant that you have authority to bind that entity.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding contracts to purchase from us.
If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login details and for all activity under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use. We may suspend or close accounts used in breach of these Terms.
We take reasonable care to describe our Containers accurately, including dimensions, condition and specifications.
However, please note:
Containers are supplied under the following general grades. The grade applicable to your Order will be stated in your Quote or product listing.
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| New / One-Trip | Manufactured recently and used for a single cargo voyage. Minimal wear. Best cosmetic condition. |
| Cargo Worthy (CW) | Structurally sound and certified suitable for international shipping. Cosmetic wear expected. |
| Wind & Water Tight (WWT) | Sealed against wind and water; suitable for storage. Not certified for sea cargo. Visible wear, rust and repairs. |
| As-Is | Sold in current condition, faults included, as specifically described. No condition guarantee beyond that description. |
Where a Container is sold as Wind & Water Tight, that certification relates to the sealing of the unit and does not warrant cosmetic appearance or suitability for sea freight.
We make every effort to ensure pricing on our website is accurate. If a pricing or description error is discovered after you place an Order, we will contact you and you may confirm the Order at the corrected price or cancel it for a full refund of amounts paid.
Your Order is an offer to purchase. No contract is formed until we accept your Order by written confirmation, invoice, or by dispatching the Goods — whichever occurs first.
We may decline or cancel an Order at our discretion, including where:
Where we cancel an Order, we will refund any amounts you have paid for that Order.
Title in the Goods remains with ECS until we have received payment in full and cleared funds.
Risk in the Goods passes to you at the earlier of:
You are responsible for insuring the Goods from the moment risk passes to you.
Delivery timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We are not liable for loss arising from delivery delays, including delays caused by transport operators, weather, port congestion or traffic.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the Delivery Point is safe, legal and accessible. This includes:
If our carrier attends and delivery cannot be completed safely or lawfully due to site conditions, access, or your absence, a failed delivery fee and re-delivery charges will apply.
We are not responsible for damage to driveways, kerbs, lawns, paving, underground services or other property caused during delivery where access was directed or approved by you.
Placement of a Container on your property may require council approval. Obtaining any necessary approval is your responsibility.
We export Containers from Australia to destinations including Europe, the United States, Canada and Asia.
Where a Container is sold for sea cargo use, it will be supplied as Cargo Worthy and, where required, with a valid CSC plate. Containers sold as Wind & Water Tight or As-Is are not certified for sea cargo.
Where you order modifications (such as doors, windows, ventilation, insulation, electrical fit-outs, offices, cabins or pools):
You (or your representative) should inspect the Goods on delivery or collection. Any claim for shortage, incorrect item, or visible damage must be notified to us in writing within forty-eight (48) hours of delivery, with photographs where possible.
Signing a delivery docket without noting damage may limit your ability to claim for visible transit damage. Nothing in this clause limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
Because shipping containers are large, heavy industrial goods, returns carry significant cost. Accordingly:
Please also refer to our Return Policy and Refund Policy.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy, guarantee, warranty or other term implied or imposed by the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
When assessing whether goods are of acceptable quality, regard is had to the nature of the goods, the price paid, and any description or grade under which they were sold — including that used containers are sold with expected wear consistent with their stated grade.
Subject to clause 16, and to the extent permitted by law:
Subject to clause 16 and to the extent permitted by law:
You indemnify ECS against any claim, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable legal costs) arising from your breach of these Terms, your negligence, your misuse of the Goods, unsafe conditions at the Delivery Point, or your failure to obtain any required permit or approval.
We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where that failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, extreme weather, fire, flood, pandemic, war, civil unrest, strikes, industrial action, port closures, vessel delays, shipping line schedule changes, container shortages, government action, sanctions, or failures of transport or communications infrastructure.
All content on this website — including text, images, logos, graphics, layout and design — is owned by or licensed to ECS and is protected by Australian and international copyright and trade mark laws.
You may view and print pages for your own personal or internal business use. You must not reproduce, republish, scrape, distribute, or commercially exploit any content without our prior written consent.
You must not:
We may suspend or terminate your access to the website at any time for breach of these Terms.
We handle your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. By placing an Order you consent to your information being disclosed to delivery contractors, freight forwarders, customs brokers and payment processors as necessary to fulfil your Order.
If a dispute arises, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the matter in good faith. Please set out the nature of the dispute and the outcome you seek in writing.
If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days, either party may pursue mediation or such other remedies as are available at law. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief.
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and ECS submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts competent to hear appeals from them.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
We may amend these Terms from time to time. The version published on this page at the time you place your Order governs that Order. We encourage you to review this page before each purchase.
