LEGAL OVERVIEW
Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: 15 May 2026
1. Purpose of this Website
The materials and information presented on this website are provided for general educational and informational purposes only and explicitly do not constitute a binding offer, a formal quotation, or legal, financial, or professional advice of any nature. This digital platform is designed to introduce the scope of our international logistics expertise and provide a portal for initial business inquiries within the global supply chain sector. All logistics services rendered by Nord Cargo Accore—including but not limited to international transport, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, warehousing, and insurance placement—are governed strictly and exclusively by a separate, executed written service agreement, a specific booking confirmation, and/or applicable industry-standard conditions such as standard trading terms, bills of lading, air waybills, and CMR consignment notes. Please be aware that all data regarding shipping routes, transit times, vessel or vehicle capacities, and pricing is purely indicative and subject to change without prior notice due to market volatility or operational constraints. We strongly recommend that users contact Nord Cargo Accore directly to obtain a verified, tailored quote, confirm equipment availability, and review the comprehensive contractual terms before making any business decisions or relying on the information contained herein. Please note that no professional engagement or agency relationship is established solely through the use of this website.
2. Service Contracts and Industry Conditions
Once Nord Cargo Accore reaches a formal consensus to provide logistics services, a detailed, comprehensive Terms & Conditions contract will be presented to the customer for review and signature. This final agreement serves as the legitimate and exhaustive framework for our professional relationship, superseding any prior digital correspondence or website summaries. At a minimum, this contract will encompass: thorough provisions on liability and limitations of liability including specific monetary caps and exclusions; insurance requirements and available optional additional cover; detailed protocols for cargo handling, stowage, and packaging responsibilities; and explicit customer warranties and obligations. Furthermore, the document will address security and sanctions compliance; procedures for delays, operational disruptions, and force majeure events; clear payment terms, including set-off rights and late payment interest rates; and strict notification deadlines for claims along with formal complaints procedures. It will also define rules for indemnities, subcontracting rights, the exercise of lien and right of retention, and termination conditions. For instance, specific rules regarding hazardous materials or temperature-sensitive cargo will be explicitly detailed in these binding documents. It is important to emphasize that this website offers only a high-level summary; in case of any inconsistency or conflict, the terms of the signed contract, any applicable transport document, and mandatory statutory laws will take precedence over all online content.
3. Data Protection and GDPR Compliance
Nord Cargo Accore, headquartered in France, serves as the data controller for personal data collected through this website and during our logistics operations. We process your information lawfully, fairly, and transparently for several key purposes: addressing your inquiries, preparing detailed quotes, managing bookings, and executing contracts of carriage and related supply chain services. This extends to the use of shipment tracking data and automated notifications to keep you informed of your cargo's progress. Additionally, we use data to comply with strict regulatory obligations—including customs, export control, security, and international sanctions—while also managing our business relationships and optimizing our digital services. The personal data we collect typically includes identification and contact details, professional job titles, specific shipment or reference numbers, and records of our communications. To ensure efficient global delivery, your data may be shared with vetted partners such as transport carriers, agents, customs brokers, and IT service providers. Some of these partners may be located outside the EU/EEA, such as our regional hubs in North America or Asia; in such cases, we implement robust safeguards, including standard contractual clauses, to protect your privacy. Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or erase your data, as well as the right to restrict or object to certain processing activities, including marketing. You are also entitled to data portability and may lodge a formal complaint with the CNIL in France or your local data protection authority. For further clarification or to receive our full privacy policy, please contact us directly.
4. Information Accuracy and Third-Party Links
While Nord Cargo Accore aims to keep website information accurate and up to date, it makes no representations or warranties as to completeness, accuracy, or reliability. Freight market conditions, port congestion details, and regulatory changes occur rapidly, meaning static website content may not reflect the immediate reality of the industry. The company is not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on website content, including financial decisions made based on indicative transit times. Any third-party websites or resources linked from the site—such as airline schedules, vessel trackers, or customs portals—are provided for convenience only, are outside Nord Cargo Accore’s control, and are used at the user’s own risk. Nord Cargo Accore is not responsible for the content, security, or practices of such third-party sites, and inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.
5. Intellectual Property and Use of Website Content
This website and its content, including text, proprietary logos, transport infographics, and images, are owned by Nord Cargo Accore or used under licence or other lawful permission, and are protected by international copyright and intellectual property laws. Users may view and print content for internal business use only, such as reviewing our service footprint or identifying contact details for logistics coordinators. No content may be copied, reproduced, modified, distributed, or used for any commercial purpose (such as competitor price scraping or brand impersonation) without Nord Cargo Accore’s prior written consent, except where permitted by mandatory law. Any unauthorized use of the Nord Cargo Accore trademark is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.
6. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These website terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of France, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This choice of law ensures consistency across our European operations while providing a clear legal framework for all digital users. Subject to any mandatory provisions of law that provide for another jurisdiction, the courts of France (and, where relevant, the courts of the city where Nord Cargo Accore has its registered office) will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with the use of this website or these website terms. Nothing in these website terms limits any rights that customers or users may have under mandatory consumer protection, data protection, or transport law. If any provision of these terms is found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a competent court or authority, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect and, where permitted, the invalid provision will be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the parties’ original intention. Finally, Nord Cargo Accore’s decision not to enforce any right or provision at any time shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision in the future, maintaining the integrity of our global operational standards.
