Tools terms of use
These terms cover your use of the Lashed & Secured (L&S) online tools, including the L&S 3D Load Planner and the 3D Pallet Builder (the "tools"). By logging in or using the tools you agree to them. Our general website terms and privacy notice also apply.
1. Your licence to use the tools
We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the tools for your own work or your employer's internal business. Your login is for you alone: don't share it, and keep access to your email and sign-in account safe. You are responsible for everything done with your login.
2. What you must not do
- Copy, reproduce, sell, sub-license or publish the tools, their code, their methods or their outputs, other than plans you make for your own shipments.
- Scrape the tools, or query them automatically (scripts, bots or bulk requests), or try to get round any usage limit.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile or analyse the tools to work out how they calculate results, or build a competing product from them.
- Remove or hide any copyright notice or the name shown on PDFs and reports.
- Try to get into parts of the site you have not been given access to, or interfere with how it runs.
The tools, including their methods and outputs, are proprietary to Lashed & Secured and protected by copyright and other rights. Nothing in these terms transfers any of those rights to you.
3. Outputs are for guidance only
Load plans, pallet plans, weights, volumes and other results are estimates for guidance. They depend on the figures you enter or upload, which you must check. You are responsible for checking every load, the stowage, securing and lashing, the weights and the equipment with your carrier, port, surveyor or other competent person before you rely on them. Lashed & Secured does not quote, book or arrange freight.
4. No warranty and our liability
The tools are provided "as is". We do not promise that they will be without errors, complete, suitable for any particular purpose or always available. Before anything is loaded, lifted, secured or shipped, you must have the plan checked by a competent person, such as the carrier, a cargo surveyor or a lifting engineer. Our liability to you, including the 12-month fees cap, is set out in our terms. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
5. Suspension and ending access
We may limit, suspend or end your access at any time, without notice, if we think you have broken these terms or misused the tools (for example sharing a login, scraping or automated querying), or to protect the tools and other users. Trial access ends on the date we tell you.
6. Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If you keep using the tools after a change, the new terms apply.
7. Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
