The Consumer Guarantees Act applies guarantees for goods and services supplied to consumers, including reasonable care and skill for services.
1.4 If you are acquiring our services for business purposes, you agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

3. Nature of our role
3.1 2DS provides a marketplace, introduction, coordination, administration, and commercial facilitation service for access to third-party storage capacity. Unless expressly agreed in writing, 2DS does not own, operate, lease, control, insure, or take physical possession of the warehouse premises or the Goods.
3.2 Warehouse Partners are independent businesses. They are not employees, agents, joint venture partners, or subsidiaries of The $2 Shelf.
3.3 We may arrange or introduce you to a Warehouse Partner, but the physical receipt, storage, handling, loading, unloading, security, access control, and dispatch of Goods may be performed by the Warehouse Partner.
3.4 Unless expressly agreed in writing, 2DS does not act as a common carrier, warehouse operator, bailee, freight forwarder, customs broker, insurer, inventory controller, product inspector, quality controller, importer, exporter, consignor, consignee, or owner of the Goods.
3.5 Risk in the Goods remains with you except to the extent that liability is expressly accepted by 2DS under these Terms or cannot be excluded by law. 2DS’s involvement in arranging, coordinating, communicating, invoicing, or administering storage or handling does not by itself transfer custody, control, title, risk, responsibility, or insurance obligations to 2DS.
3.6 2DS’s fees are calculated on the basis that 2DS is providing a coordination and facilitation service, not assuming full operational, custody, inventory, compliance, product, site, carrier, or full value risk for the Goods.

7.6 We may immediately suspend services, isolate Goods, notify authorities, or require removal of Goods if DG or hazardous substances are misdeclared, undeclared, leaking, damaged, unsafe, or non-compliant.
7.7 You indemnify us, the Warehouse Partner, and any affected third party for all losses arising from undeclared, misdeclared, incorrectly packaged, incorrectly labelled, or non-compliant DG or hazardous substances.
