1. About these Terms
1.1 These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the website operated by DLD Transport UG (“DLD Transport”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a limited liability entrepreneurial company (Unternehmergesellschaft haftungsbeschränkt) registered in Germany, with its seat at Westkotter Str. 102, 42277 Wuppertal, Germany.
1.2 By accessing or using our website you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
1.3 These Terms apply to the use of the website only. The transport services we provide are governed by a separate written transport contract concluded with the client on a case-by-case basis, together with our applicable general conditions of carriage and any mandatory provisions of national and international transport law (including, where applicable, the CMR Convention and the German Commercial Code – HGB).
2. Scope and nature of the website
2.1 The website provides information about DLD Transport and the road freight services we offer, including national transport within Germany, cross-border EU transport (in particular DACH and Benelux), and distribution / last-mile services.
2.2 The website is intended primarily for businesses, freight forwarders, and other professional clients. It is not addressed to consumers in the sense of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB), unless expressly stated.
2.3 We may change, update, suspend or withdraw the website (in whole or in part) at any time, without prior notice, where this is reasonable and does not materially prejudice ongoing transport contracts.
3. Price calculator — non-binding, indicative only
3.1 Our website includes a price calculator that allows visitors to obtain an indicative price estimate based on the vehicle category and the one-way distance entered.
3.2 The figures returned by the calculator are:
- non-binding, indicative and provided for information purposes only;
- not an offer in the legal sense of § 145 of the German Civil Code (BGB), nor an invitation to treat capable of acceptance;
- based on simplified assumptions and average market conditions, and may differ significantly from a final binding quote.
3.3 A binding price is only provided in a written quote issued by DLD Transport in response to a specific request, taking into account the actual route, cargo, dates, fuel and toll surcharges, and any special handling requirements. A transport contract is concluded only when DLD Transport confirms the booking in writing (including by email).
3.4 DLD Transport accepts no liability for any decision taken in reliance on the indicative figures generated by the calculator.
4. Contact form and quote requests
4.1 You may contact us via the contact form, by email, telephone or WhatsApp. By submitting a message or quote request, you confirm that the information provided is true, complete and not misleading.
4.2 Submitting a request does not create any obligation on DLD Transport to accept the request or to provide the requested service. We reserve the right to decline any request at our discretion, in particular where the cargo is unlawful, hazardous, or otherwise outside our operational scope.
4.3 The processing of personal data submitted through the contact form is described in our Privacy Policy.
5. Compliance and prohibited shipments
5.1 The website and our communication channels must not be used to request, propose or facilitate any shipment or activity that is unlawful, sanctioned, restricted, fraudulent or otherwise non-compliant with applicable export control, customs, trade, transport, dangerous goods, anti-corruption or sanctions laws.
5.2 You warrant that any shipment information you provide is lawful and accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that you are authorised to make the request on behalf of the relevant business, where applicable.
5.3 DLD Transport may refuse any inquiry, communication or proposed transaction that we reasonably believe may expose us to legal, regulatory, operational or reputational risk, including where the goods are prohibited, restricted, hazardous, inadequately described or outside our service scope.
