Terms of business

The website

This site is run by Sell Portable Cabins. Using it means you accept what is set out on this page. If any of it does not suit you, the answer is simply not to use the site. We may amend these terms from time to time, and the version published here is the one that applies.

What the pages tell you, and what they do not

The descriptions, sizes and specifications given across this site are written as a general guide to the kind of buildings we handle. Dimensions differ between manufacturers, and no two used buildings have worn the same way, so nothing written here should be treated as a promise about a particular unit. None of it forms part of any contract between us.

Photographs are there to show types of building, layouts and typical condition. They are not a stock list, they are not an offer, and they do not depict a specific unit that is available at the moment you are looking at them.

Quotations and prices

Any figure given before a unit has been properly inspected is an indication drawn from your own description and photographs, not a binding commitment. A firm figure comes only once the building has been looked at properly, whether that is on site or through photographs clear enough to judge the condition from.

Each quotation states how long it stands. Where nothing is stated, treat it as open for fourteen days from the date it was issued, after which it needs confirming.

How VAT applies is confirmed when the quotation is issued, and the document says plainly whether the figure shown includes it. Ask before accepting if any part of the arithmetic is unclear.

Buying a unit from us

Unless the quotation says otherwise, the unit and the transport are quoted as two separate figures, and the transport figure covers delivery and setting down at the address given. Dates are agreed in advance and, because the vehicles are ours, we tell you promptly if anything has to move.

Preparing the site is your responsibility. That means ground firm and level enough to carry the unit without settling, access adequate for the vehicle and the lift that was agreed, and any consent or permission needed to site the building already in place, including anything your local planning authority requires. If the ground or the access proves different on the day and the unit cannot be set down, we may charge for the wasted journey.

Selling a building to us

An agreement to buy rests on the description and photographs you have supplied. If the unit we find on arrival is materially different from the one described, we may revise the offer or withdraw it, and we will discuss that with you at the time rather than adjusting anything afterwards.

By selling to us you confirm that the unit is yours to sell or that you are authorised to sell it, and that no finance agreement, lease or other charge remains over it.

Before collection you are responsible for emptying the unit, removing anything you intend to keep, and having the electrical, water, drainage, gas and heating connections disconnected and made safe by someone competent to do it. Our crews do not disconnect live services and cannot lift a building that is still connected.

Payment is made by bank transfer on collection, unless a different arrangement has been agreed in writing beforehand.

Removal and disposal

Where we are removing or disposing of a unit rather than buying it, the work is carried out as described in the quotation, and materials are separated and handled through the appropriate routes.

A quotation covers the work described in it. Any work that requires a licence or a competence we do not hold falls outside its scope, is arranged by you directly, and is carried out before ours begins.

Access and site safety

Getting our crew and vehicle safely to the unit is down to you, as is telling us in advance about overhead cables, buried services, restricted headroom, weight limits, soft ground and anything else that affects a lift. Site inductions, permits and gate arrangements need to be flagged before the day. Where a crew judges a lift unsafe, they will stop, and we will agree with you how to proceed.

Our liability

Nothing here limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, we accept no responsibility for lost profit, lost contracts, lost anticipated savings or any other indirect or consequential loss, and whatever we do turn out to owe on a given job is capped at the sum paid for it.

Governing law

English law governs these terms and anything arising from a transaction between us. Any dispute is for the courts of England and Wales to settle, and both sides submit to their exclusive jurisdiction.
