• Variation in appearance is normal for industrial equipment.

Condition classification and functional suitability are defined on the Conditions page and product descriptions.

5. Pricing, Quotes, and Availability

Pricing: Product prices listed on the website represent the container or cabin price and may change due to inventory, regional logistics, supplier, or market factors.

Shipping & Additional Charges: Unless explicitly stated, prices exclude delivery, which is confirmed prior to dispatch.

Availability: Products are only secured after written order confirmation and receipt of payment (see Section 6).

6. Orders, Payment, and Confirmation

Order Confirmation: An order is confirmed when you receive written confirmation (invoice or email) and payment is verified.

Payment: Full payment is required before dispatch unless a written deposit arrangement has been approved. Accepted methods and procedures are detailed in the Payment Policy.
