2. Order Acceptance
All orders submitted through the Nex Containers website, by telephone, email, or any other authorized sales channel constitute an offer by the Buyer to purchase the selected products or services.

3. Product Condition & Grading
All orders submitted through the Nex Containers website, by telephone, email, or any other authorized sales channel constitute an offer by the Buyer to purchase the selected products or services. Submission of an order does not guarantee acceptance, product availability, pricing, or delivery.
Each order is subject to review, inventory verification, payment authorization (where applicable), and acceptance by Nex Containers. An order becomes binding only after Nex Containers has (i) accepted the order, (ii) successfully verified payment or approved alternative payment arrangements, where applicable, and (iii) issued a written Order Confirmation by email or another authorized method of communication.
Nex Containers reserves the right, in accordance with applicable law, to decline, cancel, or limit any order where reasonably necessary, including, but not limited to, product unavailability, inventory discrepancies, pricing or typographical errors, suspected fraud, payment verification issues, regulatory restrictions, delivery limitations, or other circumstances that prevent fulfillment. If an order cannot be accepted after payment has been received, Nex Containers will promptly notify the Buyer and issue any applicable refund in accordance with our Refund Policy.
3. Product Condition & Grading
Nex Containers offers both new and pre-owned shipping containers that are professionally classified using recognized industry grading standards. Each product listing includes the applicable condition grade to help customers make informed purchasing decisions. Unless otherwise stated in writing, cosmetic wear associated with the applicable grade does not affect the intended functionality of the container.
| Grade | Description | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| New / One-Trip | New containers manufactured overseas and used for a single cargo shipment before being offered for sale. These containers are in near-new condition and typically exhibit only minor cosmetic handling marks. A valid CSC Plate is generally included, making them suitable for international cargo transport where certification requirements are met. | International shipping, secure storage, container modifications, offices, homes, retail spaces, and other premium applications. |
| Wind & Water Tight (WWT) | Previously used shipping containers that are structurally sound and designed to provide protection against normal wind and water penetration. WWT containers have functional doors and no visible holes or active leaks at the time of inspection. Cosmetic imperfections such as surface rust, dents, scratches, patches, paint fading, or previous repairs may be present. | Secure storage, construction sites, agricultural use, workshops, equipment storage, and general container modification projects. |
| Cargo Worthy (CW) | Previously used containers that, at the time of inspection, meet applicable structural requirements for international cargo transportation and generally include a valid or certifiable CSC Plate, subject to inspection and certification requirements. Cosmetic wear consistent with prior service should be expected. | International and domestic cargo transport, export, secure storage, and commercial applications requiring a shipping-certified container. |
| As-Is | Containers sold in their existing condition with known defects or deficiencies disclosed to the Buyer before purchase. Depending on the individual unit, these containers may exhibit structural damage, corrosion, holes, floor damage, door issues, missing components, or other cosmetic or functional imperfections. | Budget-conscious storage, salvage, recycling, artistic projects, barriers, or applications where refurbishment is planned. |
3.1 Product Inspection & Condition Disclosure
Nex Containers is committed to providing accurate product information and transparent condition reporting. For pre-owned containers, including WWT, Cargo Worthy (CW), and As-Is units, we make reasonable efforts to provide current photographs, inspection details, or condition reports upon request or where applicable before an order is finalized.
Because many products are previously owned or individually sourced, reasonable variations in appearance, manufacturer, color, markings, repairs, flooring, surface condition, and other cosmetic characteristics may exist between units of the same grade. Such variations are considered normal and do not necessarily affect the container’s intended functionality.
By accepting the Order Confirmation and proceeding with the purchase, the Buyer acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to review the available product information, photographs, specifications, grading description, and any applicable condition disclosures before completing the transaction.
3.2 Product Images
Product images displayed on the Nex Containers website are provided for illustrative and informational purposes. While we make every reasonable effort to accurately represent our inventory, the container delivered may vary in appearance, manufacturer, color, markings, repairs, or other cosmetic characteristics from the images shown, particularly for used inventory. Unless expressly stated in writing, such variations do not constitute a product defect or misrepresentation.
4. Pricing & Payment
Nex Containers is committed to providing transparent pricing and clear payment terms. By placing an order, you agree to the pricing, payment requirements, and conditions set forth in this section, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

For custom or modified containers, any deposit paid may be retained, in whole or in part, to cover materials, labor, administrative expenses, or work completed before cancellation, as permitted by applicable law and the terms of the applicable sales agreement.
Nex Containers reserves the right to pursue recovery of outstanding amounts through lawful collection procedures where necessary. Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies available under applicable law.
5. Custom Modifications
Nex Containers offers custom shipping container modification services designed to meet the unique requirements of residential, commercial, industrial, and specialty projects. Custom-modified containers may include, but are not limited to, container offices, retail units, kiosks, workshops, homes, restaurants, swimming pools, storage solutions, and other specialized applications.
Because each custom project is manufactured according to the Buyer’s approved specifications, the following terms apply to all custom modification orders.
5.1 Custom Order Process
To ensure quality, accuracy, and clear communication, custom projects generally follow the process outlined below:
Step 1 β Consultation & Project Proposal
The Buyer consults with the Nex Containers sales or project team to discuss project requirements, design preferences, intended use, delivery location, and any applicable technical specifications. Based on the information provided, Nex Containers will prepare a written quotation outlining the proposed scope of work, specifications, estimated production timeline, pricing, and any applicable terms.
Step 2 β Customer Approval
The Buyer is responsible for carefully reviewing the proposed quotation, specifications, drawings (where applicable), pricing, and project details before providing written approval. Written approval may be provided by email or another authorized communication method and authorizes Nex Containers to proceed with the project.
Step 3 β Deposit
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a 50% deposit is required before fabrication, procurement of materials, or customization work begins.
Step 4 β Fabrication
Following receipt of the required deposit and project approval, Nex Containers will begin fabrication in accordance with the approved specifications. During production, we may provide progress updates, photographs, or other project information at reasonable stages of completion.
Step 5 β Completion & Final Review
Upon completion of the project, Nex Containers will notify the Buyer that the custom container is ready for final review. Where appropriate, photographs, videos, inspection information, or other documentation may be provided before delivery or customer collection.
Step 6 β Final Payment
The remaining balance, together with any approved change order charges, delivery fees, taxes, or other applicable amounts, must be paid in full before shipment, delivery, or customer collection unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Step 7 β Delivery or Collection
After final payment has been received and verified, Nex Containers will coordinate delivery or arrange customer collection in accordance with the agreed delivery schedule and our Shipping & Delivery Policy.
5.2 Changes to Approved Specifications
After a custom project has been approved and fabrication has commenced, any requested changes are subject to review by Nex Containers.
If the Buyer requests modifications after production has begun:
- Nex Containers will evaluate the technical feasibility of the requested changes.
- A revised quotation or written change order will be provided, outlining any additional costs, material requirements, or schedule adjustments.
- No changes will be implemented until the Buyer provides written approval of the revised quotation or change order.
- Approved changes may extend manufacturing or delivery timelines.
- Any additional charges associated with approved change orders must be paid before shipment or delivery unless otherwise agreed in writing.
5.3 Custom Orders, Returns & Cancellations
Because custom-modified containers are manufactured or customized specifically to the Buyer’s approved requirements, they generally cannot be returned or exchanged once fabrication has commenced, except where required by applicable law or where otherwise expressly agreed by Nex Containers in writing.
Requests to cancel a custom order before fabrication begins will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If cancellation is approved before production starts, Nex Containers may deduct reasonable administrative, design, engineering, or other documented costs incurred before issuing any applicable refund, as permitted by applicable law.
5.4 Deposits for Custom Projects
The deposit required for a custom project secures production scheduling, materials procurement, engineering, and fabrication resources.
Once fabrication or procurement of custom materials has commenced, all or part of the deposit may be retained to cover materials purchased, labor performed, design services, and other reasonable costs incurred in connection with the project, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If fabrication has not begun and the Buyer requests cancellation, Nex Containers will review the request and, where applicable, issue any eligible refund after deducting reasonable administrative or project-related costs incurred before cancellation, as permitted by applicable law.
5.5 Limited Workmanship Warranty
Custom fabrication performed by Nex Containers is covered by our 12-Month Limited Workmanship Warranty, beginning on the date of delivery or customer collection, whichever occurs first.
This warranty applies to defects in workmanship performed by Nex Containers under normal and intended use and is subject to the terms, limitations, exclusions, maintenance requirements, and claim procedures set forth in our Warranty Policy. It does not extend to normal wear and tear, customer-supplied materials, unauthorized modifications, misuse, accidents, environmental conditions, or other exclusions identified in the Warranty Policy.

If a product covered by one of our Limited Warranties is determined to have a qualifying defect, we will work with the Buyer in good faith to provide an appropriate remedy in accordance with the applicable warranty, these Terms & Conditions, and our Warranty Policy.
Our goal is to resolve warranty matters fairly, efficiently, and transparently while maintaining the high standards of customer service and product quality that our customers expect from Nex Containers.
11. Risk of Loss & Insurance
11.1 During Transit
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Nex Containers is responsible for the risk of loss or damage while products are in transit with our authorized carrier until delivery or customer collection, subject to these Terms & Conditions and applicable law.
11.2 Transfer of Risk
Responsibility for the product transfers to the Buyer:
- Delivered Orders: Upon successful delivery and placement of the product at the Buyer’s designated delivery location.
- Customer Pickup: When the product is loaded onto the Buyer’s or the Buyer’s designated carrier’s vehicle at the Nex Containers depot or collection location.
11.3 Buyer’s Insurance
After the transfer of risk, the Buyer is responsible for the care, protection, and, where appropriate, insurance coverage of the product against loss, damage, theft, vandalism, or other risks. Nex Containers recommends obtaining suitable insurance coverage promptly after delivery or collection.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Nex Containers’ total liability for any claim arising from the purchase or use of our products or services shall not exceed the amount paid by the Buyer for the specific product or service giving rise to the claim.
Nex Containers shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, goodwill, or third-party claims arising from the Buyer’s use of the product. Buyers are solely responsible for ensuring that the installation and use of purchased products comply with all applicable building codes, zoning regulations, permit requirements, and other local laws.
Nothing in this section limits any liability that cannot be excluded or restricted under applicable law.
13. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Nex Containers, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and representatives from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, or reasonable legal expenses arising from the Buyer’s use, modification, resale, or misuse of purchased products; failure to comply with applicable laws, building codes, zoning regulations, or permit requirements; breach of these Terms & Conditions; or third-party claims resulting from the Buyer’s actions or use of the products.
Nothing in this section limits any rights or protections available to the Buyer under applicable law.
14. Force Majeure
Neither the Buyer nor Nex Containers (“Seller”) shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms & Conditions if such delay or failure is caused by events beyond its reasonable control (“Force Majeure Event”).
Force Majeure Events may include, but are not limited to:
- Natural disasters, including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, or other severe weather events.
- Pandemics, epidemics, public health emergencies, or similar events.
- War, armed conflict, terrorism, civil unrest, riots, or acts of civil or military authority.
- Government actions, laws, regulations, embargoes, sanctions, import or export restrictions, or other governmental measures.
- Labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, or transportation interruptions affecting carriers, ports, railways, or freight networks.
- Port congestion, shipping delays, canal closures, customs delays, or other logistics disruptions.
- Shortages of raw materials, manufacturing interruptions, supplier failures, or other supply chain disruptions.
- Utility outages, including interruptions to electricity, internet, telecommunications, or other essential infrastructure.
- Any other event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the affected party.
The affected party will provide notice to the other party as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of the Force Majeure Event and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of the delay and resume performance as soon as circumstances permit.
During the period of the Force Majeure Event, any affected performance obligations will be suspended to the extent reasonably necessary.
If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days and materially prevents fulfillment of the affected order, either party may terminate that order by providing written notice to the other party.
If an order is terminated under this section before delivery due solely to a force majeure event, the seller will refund any amounts paid by the buyer for products or services that have not been delivered or performed, less any non-refundable third-party costs or expenses already incurred on the buyer’s behalf, where permitted by applicable law. Any refund will be processed using the original payment method unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
Nothing in this section limits or affects any consumer rights that cannot be excluded or waived under applicable law.

The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver

Consumer Rights
Nothing in this Dispute Resolution section is intended to limit, restrict, or waive any rights, remedies, or legal protections that cannot be waived under applicable federal, state, or local law.

The remaining provisions shall remain valid, enforceable, and in full force and effect.
18. Waiver
