You are agreeing to Payment on the terms of Transaction that appear below, which we call the “Terms of Transaction”. We are Globalog Group (trading as Globalog Group, Globalog Container Line Division of Globalog Group, Globalog Moving Services Division of Globalog Group, Globalog Supply Services Division of Globalog Group, Globalog GmbH Division of Globalog Group) and we are the service provider of transportation and handling services and through this transaction are providing you with the ability to pay for logistical services in US Dollar currency (and to which these Terms of Transaction apply). We are a company registered in the United States of America and domestically registered under the Commonwealth of Delaware.
1.2 What we do: In addition to what we say we do in our Terms of Use, we are a company that provides transportation solutions and through this payment gateway we give customers the ability to pay through an online transactional method in USD and allowing you to pay fees associated with transportation services ordered by you or your agent and required additional services unknown to you at time of transaction and not previously paid by you or have been assessed against the movement of goods and are unforeseen charges incurred by you during the logistical process and transportation of goods internationally or domestically.
1.3 Who we aren’t: Globalog Group is not a Merchant Store Front provider of physical goods. We provide transportation services only. In the event we provide physical goods (pallets, crates, unit load devices) or sell these goods, this sale and your subsequent payment will be for physical goods associated with the transportation services you have purchased, we will let you know so that you understand what aspects of these Terms of Transaction apply to your Payment.
1.4 Your acceptance of these Terms of Transaction: Please read these Terms of Transaction carefully. By making any Payment you are agreeing to these Terms of Transaction and you acknowledge that your Payment is made subject to these Terms of Transaction.
1.5 Changes to this Agreement: These Terms of Transaction were most recently updated on 1 May 2015. We reserve the right to amend these Terms of Transaction at any time. All amendments to these Terms of Transaction will be posted on-line. You will be bound only to the Terms of Transaction which you agree to when you make a Payment and not any later Terms of Transaction unless you expressly consent to such new Terms of Transaction.
1.6 Your legal rights: As a consumer, nothing in these Terms of Transaction affects your non-excludable statutory, or legal, rights.
1.7 Definitions: In these Terms of Transaction, we use various defined terms. You will know they are defined because they begin with a capital letter. These are all defined within these Terms of Transaction or at the end in Clause 9.
- SOME BASICS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MAKING A PAYMENT

Place of Use: If you choose to make a Payment from locations outside the USA and including EU Countries, Norway, Switzerland, and all others, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for the consequences and for compliance with all applicable laws.
Scope of Use: Any Payment is for your commercial or non-commercial, use only.
Prevention on use: We reserve the right to prevent you from making any Payment for any reason whatsoever. Any such decision is within our sole discretion. If payment is required we reserve the right to advise another method of payment that may include bank transfer or international bank wire.
- PAYMENT OF FEES THIS IS THE HEART OF THESE TERMS OF TRANSACTION – PLEASE READ IT VERY CAREFULLY!!
3.1 An outline of how purchasing works legally: When you Pay an Invoice from Service Provider, there are several contracts relevant to your Payment. First, there are the Globalog Group Site and Service Terms of Use of the Globalog Group website. This contract governs your use of the Globalog Group services (which are set out in the Globalog Group Site and Service Terms of Use, but include taking and processing payments made via the website, sending you administrative and marketing emails, etc.). Second, there is the Terms of Transaction (this agreement!) which is your contract with Globalog Group to Pay for Products or Services invoiced by logistics service provider. Third, there is the contract between you and the logistics service provider who supplies the Services. This contract is formed between you and the logistics service provider when you or another service provider acting as your agent/freight forwarder/removals/moving/logistical service provider were contracted directly by you. Globalog Group is not a party to this contract you are acting through a designated agent and it has nothing to do with Globalog Group. Finally, there is the contract between Globalog Group and the logistical service provider where the logistical service provider commits to Globalog Group to supply you with a transactional payment portal through this website allowing you to pay directly rather than through your agent and creating ease of use and convenience. Please check out our FAQ which sets this out as well or contact our customer service if you have any questions or comments (see CONTACT US 855-718-0636).
3.2 When a transaction is complete: When you go through the procedure for making payment, after you have confirmed your acceptance of the Globalog Group Site and Service Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and these Terms of Transaction and after we have taken payment (by debit card or credit card or whatever), the transaction to Payment is only complete (and a contract for Payment is made) when we email you confirming the transaction. This email confirmation we send to you is our acceptance of the transaction; and it is at this point that a contract between you and us for the supply of the Service – which are these Terms of Transaction. We keep a copy of the contract between us and we recommend that you print out these Terms of Transaction for your own records.
3.3 Right to cancel: We will make your ability to make payment available to you in your Globalog Group account or by email or both. When we do so, you are legally entitled to cancel the transaction at any time within 7 working days from the day after the day that you first receive the Invoice for Logistical Services (whether by email or your account, whichever is earliest) – provided of course that you have not already made payment to the logistical provider by other means and therefore there is no need to have any transaction through the site. For the purposes of these Terms of Transaction, a working day is any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.
