Shed 5 terms of use

This page describes the terms of use of the services provided by Shed 5 UK at www.shed5.co.uk

By using this site you accept and agree to be bound by these terms of use.

These terms of use apply to all users of the site, whether they have registered or not, and whether they have paid subscriptions or not.

1. the purpose of the terms of use

The purpose of these terms of use is to make it clear what your rights and obligations are in relation to your use of this site, and what my rights and obligations are towards you as a user of this site.

2. acceptable use of this site

This site is provided for couriers and hauliers to use as a freight/work exchange and for networking with other members, and will include information and tools to support such businesses.

You may use any information obtained from this site, or functions provided by this site, for legitimate purposes in connection with your own courier or haulage business.

3. unacceptable use of this site

You must not use this site for purposes not covered above, such as making contact with members for the purpose of selling non-courier services or products.

You must not use this site for the purpose of harassing members, or attempting to 'name and shame'.

You must not allow non-members to use your login details and password to gain access to this site.

4. full disclosure

You must not try to hide your true identity, or any association with dissolved companies, or any relationship with other businesses including previous Shed 5 members.

You must not change your account information to make it more difficult for other members to contact you.

If you or a member of your family have previously been a director of a dissolved company, or any business which owes money to couriers, you must contact Shed 5 admin before you try to register an account at Shed 5.

5. refunds policy

If you are not satisfied with any aspect of this site you may request a refund of the unused amount of your most recent subscription payment, which will be made without question within 10 working days, and your account will be removed.

The amount of refund will be calculated based on the number of days remaining of your current membership:*

  • if there are 300 days or more of your membership remaining, you will receive the full amount of your last subscription payment
  • if there are less than 300 days of your membership remaining, you will receive the daily rate equivalent of your most recent subscription payment. For example: if you paid £8.00 for 12 months membership and you cancel your account when there are still 100 days to run you will receive a refund of £2.19

If you have any SMS credits on your account at the time your account is removed I will buy them back from you at the current value.

* Calculation of the remaining days is based on your paid-for membership and does not include any additional ‘bonus’ time that has been added to your account.

6. account termination

If you do not comply with these terms of use I will usually attempt to resolve the situation amicably with you, but I may terminate your account without notice.

If I terminate your account for any reason I will refund the value of the unused period of your membership, calculated as in 5. above.

If you have any SMS credits on your account at the time your account is terminated I will buy them back from you at the current value.

7. limitation of liability

I provide the services on this site in good faith, but any transactions or business arrangements you enter into with other users of this site are between the parties involved and I cannot accept any responsibility for any loss or any consequences arising, financial or otherwise.

8. changes to these terms of use

Any changes to these terms of use will be announced on the Shed 5 community forum.
