Website Terms of Use

Welcome to the official website of Horizon Retailers Pty Ltd ("Horizon Retailers", "we", "us", or "our"), accessible at horizonretailersptyltd.com.au (the "Website").

By accessing, browsing, interacting with, submitting digital quote inquiries through, or utilizing any resources, calculators, or technical schematics on this Website, you ("User", "you", or "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and irrevocably agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, along with our Privacy Policy, Payment Policy, and General Terms & Conditions.

If you do not agree to these Terms of Use in their entirety, you must immediately cease accessing and browsing this Website and refrain from submitting any digital web inquiries or data inputs.

This Website is owned, operated, and maintained by Horizon Retailers Pty Ltd, a registered proprietary limited corporation incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in the Commonwealth of Australia.

User Eligibility: By using this Website, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age, possess the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements, and, if accessing on behalf of a company, partnership, or trust, have full corporate authority to bind that entity.

The product listings, container specifications, modification catalogs, and freight calculations displayed on this Website are provided solely as an "invitation to treat" under Australian commercial contract law and do not constitute a legally binding offer by Horizon Retailers Pty Ltd.

Price Fluctuations & Errors: Global shipping container supply chains, steel mill indices, and fuel levies fluctuate dynamically. Horizon Retailers reserves the right to correct typographical mistakes, out-of-date pricing schedules, or inaccurate dimensional information on the Website without prior notice.

Horizon Retailers supplies intermodal freight containers built to international ISO standards (ISO 668, ISO 1496). When viewing dimensional schematics, payload data, and photographs on our Website, the following operational realities apply:

• Used Container Patina & Cosmetics: Photographs of Cargo Worthy (CW) and Wind & Water Tight (WWT) shipping containers are representative of the grading standard. Because second-hand shipping containers possess individual service histories across international maritime routes, actual units will feature varying surface dents, surface oxidation, marine paint colors, and container line branding.
• New "Single Trip" Units: Images of New Single Trip containers represent factory build quality; minor handling marks, forklift scuffs, or container spreader twist-lock scratches incurred during oceanic repositioning voyages to Australia are industry standard.
• Workshop Modification Mockups: Architectural 3D renders, site office floor plans, and modification illustrations are artistic concepts. Custom fabrication (including personal access doors, double glass sliders, whirlybirds, and EPS paneling) is built strictly in accordance with signed engineering workshop specifications.
• Manufacturing Tolerances: Tare weights, internal cubic capacities, and millimeters may vary within standard ISO manufacturing tolerance margins (+/- 5mm to 10mm).

All content featured or displayed on this Website—including but not limited to trade names, logos, registered corporate branding, page layouts, container sizing comparison matrices, technical schematics, delivery clearance diagrams, website copywriting, software scripts, and graphics—is the exclusive intellectual property of Horizon Retailers Pty Ltd or its licensors, protected by the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), the Trade Marks Act 1995 (Cth), and international intellectual property treaties.

Limited Personal & Commercial Evaluation License: Horizon Retailers grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access, view, and print individual pages or downloadable technical specification sheets exclusively for your internal procurement assessment, site planning, or container purchasing evaluation.

Users must access and utilize this Website solely for lawful, bona fide commercial or residential container purchasing, hiring, site logistics verification, and customer service communication.
