Disclaimer
This page sets out the basis on which the information published on this website is provided. It is short, and it is worth reading, because it describes the commercial reality of how physical cargo transactions are agreed.
Terms
Disclaimer
Nothing on this website is an offer
The information published here, including product descriptions, specifications, delivery terms, shipment quantities and transaction procedures, is indicative and is provided for general information only. It does not constitute an offer, an invitation to treat, a solicitation, a commitment to supply, or a representation that any particular cargo is available.
No contract comes into existence through this website, through the enquiry form, or through any correspondence that follows, unless and until a written contract has been executed by both parties.
Specifications are typical values
The specification figures shown for each product are typical values for the published standard that grade is sold against. They are not a warranty, a guarantee, or a representation as to the quality of any particular cargo.
The specification that binds a transaction is the one written into the executed contract. The quality of a specific cargo is evidenced by the certificate of quality issued for it by the independent inspection company appointed under that contract, following analysis at the load port.
All transactions are subject to contract and compliance
Every transaction is subject to the execution of a written contract, and to the satisfactory completion of know-your-customer, anti-money-laundering, sanctions and export control checks on all parties, cargoes and destinations involved.
We reserve the right to decline any enquiry or transaction, at any stage and without giving reasons, where those checks cannot be satisfactorily completed or where proceeding would in our view be inconsistent with applicable law.
Prices and availability
Prices are not published on this website. Where a price is quoted in correspondence it is valid only for the period stated in that quotation and is subject to the cargo remaining available and unsold.
Product availability, permitted destinations and loading windows change continuously, and nothing on this site should be read as confirming that any grade is available at any given time.
No advice
Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial, tax, insurance or technical advice. The explanations of Incoterms rules, payment instruments and transaction procedures are provided for general understanding and are necessarily simplified.
You should obtain your own professional advice before entering into any transaction, and you should satisfy yourself independently as to the suitability of any product for your intended use.
Third-party content and links
Where this website refers to published standards, test methods, inspection companies, terminals or ports, those references are descriptive. They do not imply any affiliation with, endorsement by, or accreditation from the bodies or organisations named.
Fraud warning
Petroleum trading attracts a significant volume of advance-fee fraud, frequently conducted in the name of legitimate companies. We do not request any fee, deposit, registration payment or document-release payment before a contract is executed.
If you receive a communication purporting to come from this company that asks for a payment before contract, that offers cargoes on terms which appear inconsistent with this website, or that arrives from an email domain other than our own, please treat it as fraudulent and contact us before acting on it.
