Terms & Conditions

The terms that govern your use of this website.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of this website (the "Site"), operated by Trade Link Logistics & Services ("Trade Link", "we", "us", or "our"), a customs clearance and freight forwarding company based in Mombasa and Nairobi, Kenya. By browsing the Site, submitting a quote request, or otherwise using any part of it, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with them, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

2. About Trade Link Logistics & Services

Trade Link is a licensed logistics and customs clearance company operating from our head office in Mombasa and our Nairobi ICD office, providing sea and air freight forwarding, customs clearance, inland transport, warehousing, and related logistics services to importers and exporters across Kenya and the wider East African region.

3. Using This Website

You may use this Site to learn about our services, request a quote, or get in touch with our team. We reserve the right to change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice, and we will not be liable if the Site is unavailable at any point or for any period.

You are responsible for keeping your own devices and connection secure when browsing the Site — for example, by using up-to-date antivirus software. We do not guarantee that the Site is free of errors, viruses, or harmful components, and we are not liable for any damage to your device, network, or data arising from your use of, or access to, the Site.

4. Prohibited Uses

When using this Site, you agree not to:

  • Use the Site in any way that breaches any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation (including the laws of Kenya).
  • Upload or transmit any virus, trojan, malware, or other harmful code.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, the server on which the Site is hosted, or any server, computer, or database connected to our network.
  • Scrape, crawl, frame, copy, or republish content, design elements, or data from the Site for commercial purposes without our prior express written permission.

5. Quote Requests, Rates & Regulatory Disclaimers

Any quote, rate, transit-time estimate, duty estimate, or tariff guidance provided through our online contact form, WhatsApp, phone, or email is provided for preliminary guidance only and is not a binding offer. Final pricing, schedules, and terms for any shipment are confirmed separately in writing once we have verified the specific cargo details, documentation, dimensions, and route involved.

Customs regulations, import/export duties, port charges, and statutory fees established by government bodies — including the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), and other regulatory authorities — are subject to frequent updates without prior notice. Trade Link accepts no liability for costs, delays, or fines resulting from changes made by statutory authorities or reliance on general estimates provided prior to official cargo entry.

6. Separation of Website Terms from Freight & Transport Services

These Terms apply solely to your use of this website. They do not form part of, nor do they override, the separate commercial terms and standard trading conditions that govern actual freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing, or transport services performed by Trade Link — including any bill of lading, air waybill, consignment note, or service contract issued for a specific shipment. Freight forwarding and clearance operations are governed by our Standard Trading Conditions agreed upon separately.

7. Electronic Communications, Security & Cyber Fraud Warning

While we take reasonable steps to secure communications sent through our Site and email channels, electronic transmission of data cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Important notice regarding banking details: Trade Link will never send unverified changes to our bank account details solely via informal email or messaging platforms. Always confirm bank account details by directly speaking with our accounts department at our official telephone numbers before executing any monetary transfers. We disclaim all liability for financial losses resulting from fraudulent business email compromise or third-party phishing schemes.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, all text, graphics, logos, images, software, and other content on this Site are the property of Trade Link or used with authorization from rights holders. You may view and print pages from the Site for your personal, non-commercial reference only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written consent.

9. Links to Third-Party Websites

This Site may contain links to third-party websites, such as shipping lines, port authorities, tracking portals, or government regulatory bodies. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, accuracy, or availability of any linked site. Accessing third-party sites is done entirely at your own risk.

10. No Warranty

We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this Site accurate and up to date, but we make no warranty or representation, express or implied, as to its accuracy, completeness, reliability, or currency. Nothing on this Site constitutes professional, legal, or customs advice.

11. Limitation of Liability & Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by Kenyan law, Trade Link, its directors, officers, employees, and agents disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your access to, use of, or inability to use this Site, or any reliance on information published here.

Indemnification: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Trade Link, its officers, employees, and partners from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and legal fees resulting from your violation of these Terms, misuse of the Site, or submission of false, inaccurate, or unlawful cargo information through our enquiry channels.

12. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

Governing law: These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Kenya.

Amicable settlement: In the event of any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site, the parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve the matter through amicable consultation.

Jurisdiction: If a dispute cannot be resolved amicably within 30 days, it shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Kenya.

13. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to revise these Terms at any time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Effective Date." Your continued use of the Site following any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Terms.
