Terms & Conditions

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you", "the Customer") and Sea Can Guys ("we", "us", "our"), operating the website seacanguy.ca and supplying shipping container sales, rentals, leasing, financing and modification services across Atlantic Canada and beyond.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use this website or order from us.

2. Definitions

• Container / Sea Can — any new, used, one-trip, standard or high-cube shipping container, or any modified container unit supplied by us.
• Order — a confirmed request to purchase, rent, lease or modify a container, evidenced by a signed quote, invoice or written confirmation.
• Delivery Site — the address you nominate for placement of the container.
• Quote — a written price estimate issued by us for specified goods and services.

3. Quotes, Pricing & Availability

All prices displayed on this website are in Canadian dollars (CAD) and are exclusive of applicable taxes, delivery, crane or placement charges unless expressly stated otherwise.

• Quotes are valid for [30] days from the date of issue unless a different period is stated on the quote.
• Prices are subject to change without notice due to market conditions, transport costs, exchange rates or supplier availability. Confirmed orders are honoured at the quoted price.
• Inventory is not reserved until a deposit or full payment is received. Availability is subject to stock at the relevant depot or retail location.
• Photographs and dimensions on this website are representative. Colour, markings, door hardware and cosmetic condition of used units will vary.
• We reserve the right to correct pricing or specification errors and to cancel any order affected by an obvious error, with a full refund of amounts paid.

4. Orders, Deposits & Payment

An order is accepted only when we issue written confirmation and receive the required deposit or payment.

• A deposit of [50]% is required to secure a unit; the balance is due [prior to dispatch / on delivery] unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Accepted payment methods: [e-transfer, certified cheque, credit card, approved financing]. Credit card payments may attract a processing fee where disclosed.
• Title to the container passes to you only upon receipt of payment in full. Risk of loss or damage passes upon delivery to the Delivery Site.
• Overdue balances may accrue interest at [1.5]% per month ([18]% per annum), and we may withhold delivery, modification work or release of the unit until accounts are settled.

5. Delivery & Site Requirements

Delivery dates are estimates only. We will make reasonable efforts to meet scheduled windows but are not liable for delays caused by weather, road restrictions, carrier availability, port congestion or other events beyond our control.

Your responsibilities as the Customer

• Provide a level, firm, well-drained and accessible site capable of supporting a loaded truck and trailer.
• Ensure clear overhead and lateral access — tilt-deck delivery typically requires approximately [100 ft] of straight clearance and [16 ft] of overhead clearance.
• Identify and mark underground services, septic fields, wells, irrigation and utilities. We are not responsible for damage to driveways, lawns, curbs, pavement or unmarked underground infrastructure caused during delivery.
• Have a responsible person on site to direct placement. If no one is present, placement will be made at the driver's discretion and is final.

If a delivery cannot be completed because the site is unsuitable, inaccessible or unattended, a dry-run / re-delivery fee will apply. Additional charges apply for crane placement, extended wait time and relocation after placement.

6. Rentals & Leasing

• Rental and lease terms, minimum rental periods, billing cycles and return conditions are set out in your rental agreement, which forms part of these Terms.
• Rented containers remain our property at all times. You may not sell, sublet, encumber, relocate or modify a rented unit without our prior written consent.
• You are responsible for the container while in your possession, including loss, theft, vandalism, fire, corrosion beyond normal wear, and damage caused by forklifts, machinery, paint, welding or signage.
• You must maintain adequate insurance covering the full replacement value of the container for the duration of the rental term.
• Units must be returned empty, broom-clean and free of contamination. Cleaning, repair, disposal or de-branding charges will be invoiced where required.
• Rental charges continue to accrue until the unit is collected and inspected. Cancellation of a scheduled pickup may incur a fee.

7. Modifications & Custom Builds

Custom work — including doors, windows, insulation, electrical, HVAC, partitions, container homes, offices, pop-up retail and workforce housing — is quoted individually and governed by an approved scope of work.

• Fabrication begins only after you approve the drawings, specification and quote in writing. Approved drawings supersede verbal discussions.
• Changes requested after approval may affect price and lead time and require a written change order.
• Deposits on custom work are non-refundable once materials are ordered or fabrication has commenced.
• Electrical, plumbing, HVAC and structural work is performed to the standards specified in the quote. Final connection, inspection and occupancy approval at your site is your responsibility unless we have expressly agreed to provide it.
• Lead times for modified units are estimates and may be affected by material supply and shop scheduling.

8. Financing

Where financing is offered, it is provided by third-party lending partners and is subject to their credit approval, rates, fees and separate agreements. Sea Can Guys is not the lender, does not guarantee approval, and is not responsible for the terms, decisions or conduct of any lender. You should review any financing agreement carefully before signing.

9. Condition, Inspection & Warranty

Container grades are described as accurately as possible, but used shipping containers are industrial equipment and will show cosmetic wear.

Unless stated in writing, containers are supplied "as is, where is" with respect to cosmetic condition. Any warranty we provide is limited to the terms stated on your invoice or modification agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are excluded. Statutory consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded are unaffected.

Claims for shortage, damage in transit or non-conformity must be reported in writing within [48] hours of delivery, with photographs.

10. Cancellations, Changes & Refunds

• Orders cancelled before dispatch and before any modification work has begun may be refunded less an administration fee and any costs already incurred.
• Deposits on custom, modified or special-order units are non-refundable once fabrication or material procurement has started.
• Deliveries rescheduled with less than [48] hours notice may incur a rescheduling fee.
• Because containers are heavy industrial goods, we do not offer change-of-mind returns after delivery. Relocation or buy-back, if offered, is at our discretion and at your cost.

11. Permits, Zoning & Compliance

It is your sole responsibility to confirm that placing, storing, modifying or occupying a container at your location complies with municipal zoning by-laws, building codes, fire regulations, permit requirements, condominium or landlord rules, and any provincial legislation. We do not provide regulatory, engineering or legal advice, and we are not liable for orders, fines or removal costs arising from non-compliance.

12. Acceptable Use of This Website

You agree not to:

• Use the site for any unlawful, fraudulent or misleading purpose.
• Copy, scrape, mirror or republish site content, product data or images without written permission.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers, or connected systems, or introduce malicious code.
• Submit false contact details, spam, or content that infringes the rights of others.

13. Intellectual Property

All content on seacanguy.ca — including the Sea Can Guys name and logo, text, photographs, project imagery, drawings, layouts and code — is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by Canadian and international intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for your own non-commercial reference. All other use requires our prior written consent.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sea Can Guys, its owners, employees, contractors and carriers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or economic loss — including loss of profit, revenue, business, data, goods stored in a container, or project delay — arising from the supply, delivery, modification, use or failure of any container or from your use of this website.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to any order shall not exceed the amount you actually paid to us for that order.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sea Can Guys and its personnel against any claims, damages, penalties, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of a container, your failure to obtain required permits, or injury or property damage occurring at your site after delivery.

16. Third-Party Links

This website may link to third-party sites, lenders or service providers. Those sites are not under our control and we accept no responsibility for their content, products, availability or privacy practices.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of [Nova Scotia] and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of [Nova Scotia] for any dispute, subject to any non-waivable consumer protection rights available in your own province.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. The revised version takes effect when posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Orders are governed by the version of the Terms in effect at the time the order was confirmed.
