These terms are a draft prepared for RG Legacy Shipping. They have not been reviewed by a legal professional and do not represent confirmed company terms. They must be reviewed and approved before they are published, and must not be used to govern customer transactions until they are. Any shipment-specific terms of service, or standard trading conditions the business already uses, should be supplied and referenced separately.

2. Website Information
The information on this website is provided for general guidance about freight forwarding, logistics and related services. It is not legal, customs, tax or other professional advice, and it does not take account of the circumstances of any particular shipment.
We aim to keep the website accurate and up to date, but regulations, procedures and charges change, and we do not warrant that all information is complete or current. Historical examples — including the vehicle import invoice example — are provided for illustration only and are not quotations or current rates.
3. Enquiries and Quotations

- A quotation becomes binding only when [describe the acceptance and confirmation process].
4. Shipment-Specific Requirements
Every shipment is subject to the requirements of the cargo, the route, the carriers and other providers involved, and the countries concerned. Some goods are restricted or prohibited, and others require permits, special handling or additional documents. We may decline an enquiry, or a part of it, where the requirements cannot be met.
5. Shipping Documents and Customer Responsibilities
