This page is a plain-English summary intended to inform users of the terms on which the Site is offered. It is not a substitute for legal advice; consult qualified counsel for any question about your specific rights or obligations.
Tools2Ship (the “Site”) provides calculators, tools, reference materials, and database lookup services designed solely for informational, educational, and reference purposes. None of the contents, output values, calculated estimates, or reference guidelines provided on this Site constitute professional legal, logistics, safety, compliance, or financial advice.
Logistics, transport, and hazardous materials dispatch rules are complex, subject to change, and governed by strict regulations. You must verify all calculations, hazardous materials properties, packaging instructions, segregation rules, and shipping paper requirements against official government and industry websites before taking action, including but not limited to:
While we strive to keep the database, placards, guides, and calculator formulas accurate and up to date, all data is provided “as is” and “as available”. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, tools, or related graphics contained on the Site. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.
In no event shall Tools2Ship, its creators, developers, or contributors be liable for any loss, damage, penalty, fine, delay, or expense (including, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses) arising out of or in connection with:
Rule summaries shown on this Site (including hazmat segregation code descriptions, Note A, Note P, §177.848(c), §177.848(e)(6), and related items) are our own plain-English paraphrases of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, not verbatim reproductions. U.S. federal statutes and regulations are public-domain under 17 U.S.C. §105, but for any regulatory, operational, or compliance decision you should consult the authoritative text on eCFR Title 49. DOT hazard placards and labels are rendered from the geometry and color palette prescribed by 49 CFR §172 Subpart F; no third-party imagery is used.
The Site’s original written content, calculator implementations, code, layout, and site design are the property of the Site’s operators and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. You may view calculator output for your own operational use and share result URLs; you may not scrape, mirror, redistribute, or resell the Site or its underlying data collections without prior written permission.
Portions of the Site paraphrase or reference third-party regulatory text, industry standards, and carrier tariffs (for example, IATA TACT, NMFTA NMFC, DOT/PHMSA 49 CFR, and U.S. EIA weekly price data). U.S. federal statutes and regulations are in the public domain under 17 U.S.C. §105. Trademarked names (NMFC®, IATA®, TACT®, DOT placard designs, EIA, FedEx, UPS, and similar) are the property of their respective owners; their appearance here is nominative and does not imply endorsement, affiliation, or licensing.
We take copyright seriously and act in good faith. If you believe any content on the Site infringes your copyright or a work you own, please send a written notice containing (a) identification of the copyrighted work, (b) the URL or precise location of the allegedly infringing material, (c) your contact information, (d) a statement made in good faith that the use is not authorized, and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized agent. Notices may be sent through the feedback link in the Site footer or to the address listed on the Site. We will review promptly and remove or disable access to material we determine to be infringing, without prejudice to any counter-notice procedure available under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. §512.
The Site’s outputs are estimates. They are not a substitute for an official carrier rate, tariff filing, bill-of-lading determination, hazmat shipping paper, customs declaration, or regulatory decision. Do not use Site output as the sole basis for billing a customer, quoting a rate, executing a shipment, filing a declaration, or making any decision with legal, financial, or safety consequences. Always confirm against the authoritative source before acting.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tools2Ship, its operators, developers, contributors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Site, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) any decision or action you take based on Site content, or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual-property, privacy, or contractual right, in connection with your use of the Site.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be surfaced on the Site where practical; your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Site’s operators reside, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
By using this Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree, you must immediately cease using the Site.
