Terms of Service
These terms set out what you and we each agree to. We've written them in plain language on purpose — an agreement you can't understand isn't worth much to either of us.
Who this agreement is between
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and 罗智予（个人） ("we", "us") covering the Cargo Load Simulator (the "Service"). The web version runs at imkikoman.com/app.
You accept these Terms when you tick "I have read and agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy" and sign in, or when you start using the Service without signing in. If you don't accept them, please don't use the Service.
The most important part of this document is section 05 — a load plan is a calculation, and the actual load has to be verified by you. If you read only one section, read that one.
What we provide
The Service is a 3D container load simulator: you enter cargo dimensions, weights and quantities, and it produces a loading plan together with bearing-load propagation, centre-of-gravity offset and axle-weight figures, which you can export as a loading report.
- The Service is a software tool. It is not a transport service, not a customs service, and not professional advice of any kind.
- It currently runs in the browser only. Nothing to install.
- Without signing in you can run the full calculation and see every result (bearing loads, CG, axle weights), but export requires an account.
- We may add, change or remove features at any time.
Free runs and accounts
- You can use the Service without an account: 7 free calculations. That is a lifetime allowance, not 7 per day.
- Once you sign in there is no run limit, and export unlocks.
- Sign-in is by one-time code only: enter a phone number or an email address, then the code you receive. There is no password — so there is nothing to leak in a credential-stuffing attack, but do keep control of your phone and mailbox.
- A phone number or email address can belong to only one account. You may bind both a phone number and an email address to the same account.
- We may change the size of the free allowance. Runs already used are not refunded.
One thing about the free allowance we'd rather say up front: it is counted per device, and clearing your browser data will not reset it. We look at three signals at once (a cookie, a device fingerprint, and browser local storage) and take the strictest one. This isn't to make life hard for you — without it a free allowance means nothing. We're telling you here because it actually affects you, and you shouldn't have to discover it by running into it.
Anything done through your account is treated as done by you. If you think someone else is using your account, contact us as soon as you can.
You can delete your account from inside the app at any time. Deletion is irreversible; exactly what happens is described in the Privacy Policy.
What you must not do
While using the Service, please do not:
- call the Service in bulk with scripts, crawlers or any automation, or work around our rate limits;
- circumvent, reset or forge the free allowance by any means — including mass account registration, forged device identifiers, or rotating proxy IPs;
- reverse engineer, decompile or crack the client or the API, or repackage our computation as a product of your own;
- resell or rent out allowance on the Service, or embed the Service in a service you charge third parties for without our written consent;
- upload unlawful content, or use the Service to carry out unlawful activity;
- interfere with the operation of the Service in any way, including load testing, injection attacks and denial-of-service attacks.
If we have reasonable grounds to believe you are doing any of the above, we may restrict or terminate your access without prior notice.
A load plan is a reference — you must verify the actual load
Please read this section in full. It decides who carries the loss if a plan is wrong.
The load plans, bearing figures, centre-of-gravity positions and axle weights the Service produces are reference results, computed from the data you entered, using a simplified model. They are not loading instructions and they are not a safety certification.
- Wrong input, wrong output — always. A dropped digit, gross weight entered as net, pallets and packaging left out: the plan will be wrong, and the software has no way of knowing you made the mistake.
- The model is simplified. It does not account for lashing and securing, dunnage bags and packing material, variation and wear between individual containers, dynamic loads and shocks in transit, hard braking or sea state, temperature and humidity, the way carton stacking strength decays over time and with moisture, or what the loading crew actually does on the day.
- It does not replace regulation or carrier requirements. These include, without limitation, the IMO/ILO/UNECE Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTU Code), carrier and airline loading rules, road axle-load and gross-weight limits, dangerous goods rules, and the rules of the origin and destination jurisdictions. The official texts and your carrier's actual requirements always govern.
So: every plan must be verified on site, before loading, by someone with the relevant qualifications and experience, against the actual cargo, the actual container and the applicable rules. The loading decision is yours, not the software's.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for cargo damage, loading incidents, transport delays, fines, re-shipment, demurrage, lost profit, or any indirect, incidental or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service.
Where applicable law does not allow the above exclusion to take full effect, our total liability for the matter is capped at the amount you actually paid for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the liability. The Service is currently free of charge, so that cap is zero.
Nothing in this section excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law — for example personal injury caused by our wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
The data you enter stays yours
The cargo dimensions, weights and quantities you enter belong to you. We process them only to run the calculation you asked for.
The server does not keep your cargo list. Once a calculation finishes, all that remains in our database is a count — "this client ran one calculation at this time, with this many items" — used for the free allowance and for troubleshooting. Plans and templates you save in the app stay in your own browser and are not uploaded.
Exported loading reports are yours to use freely, including commercially.
Our intellectual property
The software, algorithms, interface design, documentation and marks of the Service belong to us. These Terms grant you permission to use the Service as agreed; they transfer no intellectual property.
Please don't remove or obscure our marks in the interface or in exported files.
Changes, interruption and termination
- The Service is currently free and provided "as is" — we don't guarantee continuous availability, freedom from errors, or fitness for your particular situation. We'll do our best; we're not making promises.
- Service may be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades, migration or force majeure. We'll announce it in advance where we can.
- We may change or withdraw parts of the Service. If we shut it down entirely, we will post notice on this site at least 30 days beforehand.
- You may stop using the Service at any time, and delete your account from inside the app at any time.
Paid features may appear later. If we start charging, we will state the price and the rules before charging begins; if you don't accept them, don't buy.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. When we do, the version number and effective date at the top of this page change with them.
For material changes — new charges, a change in the scope of liability, a change in how personal information is handled — we will ask for your consent again the next time you sign in. If you don't agree, you can stop using the Service and delete your account.
Our system records which version you agreed to, so an old consent is never treated as consent to new terms.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (for the purposes of this clause, excluding the laws of the Hong Kong SAR, the Macao SAR and Taiwan).
If something goes wrong, contact us first — most things are settled by one email. If we can't settle it, either party may bring the dispute before the competent People's Court at our place of domicile.
The Chinese version of these Terms governs. This English version is provided for convenience; where the two differ in meaning, the Chinese version prevails.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest remain in force.
