SHIPSI SERVICES AGREEMENT – STANDARD TERMS

Latest Version Posted: September 23, 2021

PLEASE READ THIS SHIPSI SERVICES AGREEMENT – STANDARD TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES AND DO NOT SIGN UP FOR A SHIPSI ACCOUNT.

This website and the Shipsi Instant Delivery App, including all content made available through the website and the Shipsi Instant Delivery App, (collectively, the “Site”) is owned and operated by Auctane LLC and its affiliates, including its parent company Stamps.com Inc. (collectively, “Provider”) and the services and products, including the Shipsi Instant Delivery App (as defined below), the Shipsi Instant Delivery Portal, or any other Shipsi Delivery services, (collectively, “Services”) provided to you are subject to the following notices, terms, and conditions. Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Provider, your agreement with Provider will always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set out in this document and our Privacy Policy. This Shipsi Services Agreement – Standard Terms, any supplemental terms agreed to in a writing signed by you and Provider and the Privacy Policy form a legally binding agreement between you and Provider in relation to your use of Provider’s Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. Provider is firmly committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information and the personal information of your customers. By using the service, you acknowledge and agree that Provider’s collection, usage and disclosure of this personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Collectively, this legal agreement is referred to below as the “Terms.” Provider may, from time to time, modify, amend, or supplement these Terms, and post those changes on the Standard Terms page. Modifications, amendments or supplements to these Terms shall automatically be effective seven (7) days after Provider has posted the modifications. If you do not agree to be bound by (or cannot comply with) these Terms, including the Terms as modified, you agree that your sole remedy is to cease using the Services by canceling your account. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your agreement to be bound by the Terms, including the amended Terms. For purposes of these “Terms,” the “Shipsi Instant Delivery App” means the application that runs on your Shopify store and enables your customers to select delivery.

Both you and the Provider agree, with the limited exceptions noted below and as further provided below, to resolve all disputes between you and the Provider through BINDING ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND THE PROVIDER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

SHIPSI SERVICES

The Services connect consumers with a person or company engaged in the business of selling or trading goods and with independent couriers and carriers to facilitate on-demand delivery or pickup services. Provider is not a retail store, restaurant, merchant, food delivery platform, merchandise delivery platform, carrier, courier or food preparation entity. Provider is not liable or responsible for your compliance with applicable federal, state, or local laws, rules, regulations or standards pertaining to your business. In addition, Provider does not guarantee the quality of what you sell and does not independently verify, and is not liable for, representations made by you regarding your products on the Shipsi Instant Delivery App or the other Services. Provider serves as an intermediary between you and the carriers selected by the individuals who place orders for items on your website (the “End Users”) or you (as applicable). Provider does not transport or deliver shipments and Provider is not a party to any contract you form with any carrier to pick up, transport, or deliver your shipments. At checkout, you agree to display “SHIPSI Same-Day Delivery (x-y hours)” and underneath the top line “Get it today within y hours” (where “y” is calculated by the information that you, your Representatives or your Users enters when submitting a location in the Shipsi Instant Delivery App, the Shipsi Instant Delivery Portal or through the API) on your Shopify checkout page or website when displaying the shipping options to be selected by the End User.  “Representative” means the Users designated by you as authorized to create User accounts, administer your use of the Services and otherwise represent you for the purpose of these Terms.  “User” means any of your employees, representatives, consultants, contractors or agents and other persons expressly permitted by you to access the Services on your behalf and that have been supplied specific administrative credentials by you (or by Provider at your request).

SERVICE PRICING

Provider offers multiple types of service plans – including, without limitation, monthly service plans. Your monthly service fee, if any, will be calculated based on the service plan presented to you and agreed to by you during service registration. In addition, you are responsible for all variable and transactional costs of using the service (including but not limited to: fees for private carriers, package insurance, items purchased in the online store, if any, fees for additional users, or other special services selected) in addition to your applicable service fee, if any. Your recurring service fee, if any, will be calculated and billed based on the date you register and the terms of your offer. If you have registered for a monthly billing plan (like most Provider users), the monthly billing cycle ends each month after you register. For example, if you register on March 8, and you are provided a free trial offer, the first billing cycle will begin April 8, and the second billing cycle will begin on May 8. Provider bills in advance (i.e., at the beginning of the applicable billing cycle), if you cancel in the middle of a billing cycle you will not be refunded for your service fees and your account will remain available for usage for the full month of cancellation. If you register for a free offer, but wish to avoid incurring the monthly service fee, make sure to cancel your account before the free period ends. To cancel, contact [email protected].

ACCOUNT DURATION

While Provider reserves the right to cancel your account for lack of use, lack of payment, or breach of these Terms, as a general matter, all Provider user accounts are maintained perpetually unless and until cancelled by the user. Following any account cancelation, Provider may maintain certain account settings and information for a period of time in the event of account re-activation. The period of time Provider maintains account information shall be in the sole discretion of Provider.

ACCOUNT CANCELLATION/TERMINATION

You may terminate or close your account at any time. However, depending on the service plan you selected, certain restrictions or fees may apply, as detailed below. To cancel, you may do so by contacting [email protected]. 

Monthly Service Plan: You are free to end your monthly service plan at any time.

  • If you terminate your monthly service plan during the free trial period you will not be charged any service fee.
  • If you terminate your monthly service plan after the free trial period, your account will remain open and accessible until the end of that month’s billing cycle, no refund will be given, and the account will be closed and no longer accessible.

Upon termination, (i) Provider shall cease all work (if any) being performed, (ii) your access to the Software (as defined below) and Services will cease and you shall permanently delete or return any Software and Documentation to Provider, and (iii) Provider shall issue you a final invoice for any unpaid fees. Termination shall not eliminate your obligation to pay for time or deliverables incurred or performed prior to termination. In the event that these Terms includes a fixed fee service or deliverable and is terminated before such services or deliverables are completed but after they have been commenced by Provider, such fixed fee service or deliverable shall be converted to a time-and-materials service or deliverable for such incomplete deliverables, and Provider shall invoice you for the time incurred in connection with such incomplete deliverables.  Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. 

FREE TRIAL OFFER TERMS

If you select to sign up for Provider’s “free trial”, then you will not be charged a service fee for the period of the free trial offer; i.e., even if you fail to cancel following the trial period, you will not incur a service fee for the trial time period. At the conclusion of the free trial, if you do not cancel the Services, Provider will charge you for the Services.

DELIVERY TERMS AND FEES

Delivery Fees and Taxes:  You will pay the price quoted and returned to you (the “Shipsi Delivery Price”) for each Confirmed Order. A “Confirmed Order” means an Order for which you have approved the Shipsi Delivery Price submitted by Provider and have authorized the delivery; and “Order” means a delivery request submitted by you through the Shipsi Instant Delivery App, Shipsi Instant Delivery Portal or API, requesting delivery. 

The delivery fees charged to you may also include cancellation fees, fees for undeliverable items or fees for returned items calculated as set forth in the section titles “RETURNED ITEMS, UNDELIVERED ITEMS OR CANCELLATIONS” below, which may be updated from time to time with no notice to you and in Provider’s sole discretion. Delivery fees are due and payable as set forth below, and the Shipsi Delivery Price, other delivery fees and other charges do not include federal, local, foreign, sales, transaction, use or value added taxes now or hereafter levied, all of which shall be your responsibility. If Provider is required to pay taxes on your behalf, Provider shall invoice you for such taxes, and you shall reimburse Provider for such amounts in accordance with these Terms. Unless otherwise specified by Provider, Provider will invoice you monthly for the Shipsi Delivery Price and any other delivery fees and charges, with payment being no later than thirty (30) days after issuance of the invoice by Provider. Late payment charges may be assessed on overdue amounts at the lesser of five percent (5%) per month, or the highest rate allowed by law. 

Non-Cancellable and Non-Refundable:  Unless otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms all Shipsi Delivery Prices incurred and payments made under these Terms are non-refundable.

Returned Items, UNDELIVERED ITEMS, AND DELIVERY CANCELLATIONS: 

Returned or Undelivered Items: In the event that a Confirmed Order cannot be completed as a result of the recipient being unavailable at the drop-off location after you, the carrier, and/or Provider have made commercially reasonable attempts to contact the recipient (which in no case will require more than 5 minutes of waiting time by a carrier at the drop-off location), or a recipient rejects the delivery due to the wrong items being delivered, you will pay Provider the Shipsi Delivery Price as well as an additional delivery fee for the return trip to the original pick-up location and reception of the item or items. 

Cancellations: In the event that a Confirmed Order cannot be completed as a result of you, the End User or the recipient cancelling the order before pickup by the carrier or as a result of your operations (including, but not limited to the inaccessibility of the item to be delivered within 5 minutes of a carrier’s arrival at the pickup location for such Confirmed Order), you are not responsible for the Shipsi Delivery Price but will pay Provider a cancellation fee for such Confirmed Order, as set forth in the Cancellation Scenario Table (below), which may be updated from time to time with no notice to you and in Provider’s sole discretion. In the event that a Confirmed Order is not completed as a result of you, the End User or the recipient cancelling the order after pickup by the carrier, you will be responsible for the Shipsi Delivery Price and will pay Provider a cancellation fee (if any) for such Confirmed Order, as set forth in the Cancellation Scenario Table (below), which may be updated from time to time with no notice to you and in Provider’s sole discretion.

Other Uncompleted or Late Orders: If a carrier spends no more than 10 minutes within 200 meters of the pickup location and arrives within 200 meters of the drop-off location no more than 45 minutes after the drop-off window quoted to you for the Confirmed Order, you shall be responsible for Shipsi Delivery Price. If the foregoing conditions are not met, Provider will refund you the Shipsi Delivery Price.

Restricted Items: For alcohol or cannabis items, carriers have the right, at his, her or its discretion, to refuse delivery and return the item(s) if the name on the recipient’s ID does not match the name provided for the order, if the recipient is not at least twenty-one (21) years old (“Legal Age”), if the recipient cannot provide a bona-fide government-issued photo identification that shows they are of Legal Age, or if the recipient is visibly intoxicated.

You will not use the Services to deliver people, firearms, ammunition, weapons (i.e. knives, switchblades etc.), live animals or any other item or substance for which delivery violates any federal, state, or local law, rule, or regulation. You may not use the Services to deliver any age restricted or controlled substance without Provider’s prior written permission. Provider reserves the right to revoke your access to the Services if Provider determines, in its sole discretion, that any product you are delivering is not consistent with these Terms, any carrier terms, any applicable law or otherwise jeopardizes the Services.

Refunds: If you receive invoice refunds, you’ll see all refunds on your monthly invoices listed as credit. You’ll typically receive invoices by the 10th of the month.

Mileage Limits: Mileage limits are set at the market-level to optimize the experience for your End Users. For more information on mileage limits by market, please contact your Account Manager or submit a Support request. To expedite response time, please provide the pickup addresses for which you’re requesting a mileage limit in your initial request.

METHOD OF PAYMENT

Provider currently accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Certain users will be approved to set up an automated debit from your bank savings or checking account. Acceptable payment methods are subject to change at any time. You must include correct information (e.g., the address and phone number the payment credit card issuer has on file for you) when enrolling. Incorrect information may cause delays in establishing service. To update any payment information, you must visit the member account page. All information received from you, including credit card and/or bank account information, will be treated in accordance with Provider’s Privacy Policy. Please note that Provider may receive updated information regarding your payment card account, debit card account or bank account from your financial institution and by accepting these Terms you hereby consent to such updating. For example, Provider may receive updated card expiration date or account number information. During account registration, Provider may verify that your payment card is valid for the service fees associated with your service plan. Provider reserves the right to (a) charge the method of payment on file once your outstanding balance owed in delivery fees due passes $100; and (b) impose additional fees on delinquent payments.  

DEBIT NOTICE WAIVER: If you elect to pay Provider via a debit card, you hereby waive your rights under 12 C.F.R. 205.10(d) to receive ten days’ advance notice of the amount and date of all varying electronic fund transfers, so long as the transfer falls inside the range of $0.01 and the sum of any amounts you authorize for insurance, hidden postage labels, reset fees or other non-recurring charges.

BILLING FOR FEES: Except as otherwise set forth in these terms, Provider’s service fee and any other applicable fees due, including fees for postage or shipping (if applicable), will be automatically charged to account holder’s credit card, debited from the account holder’s debit card or collected via direct account withdrawal from the account holder’s bank account at the end of each billing cycle (as directed by the user), in the case of service and other fees alone. [Account holders who use ShipStation Carrier Services, will be automatically charged their monthly service fee as well as a preset amount at the beginning of each billing cycle. ShipStation Carrier Services users will also be charged such preset amount each time the balance available in the ShipStation Carrier Services is not sufficient to print a label requested by such a user. The minimum preset amount is $10 and the maximum is $500. Higher auto pre-funding amounts may be set within the Provider Site. Please click here for an article that explains the process.]

The billing entity for part or all of the services provided by Provider may be that of a subsidiary, affiliate or partner organization of Provider and you hereby consent to any such billing, including changes to the billing entity from time to time.

CLAIMS

Provider will reimburse you for the actual cost to replace items lost or damaged during a delivery if arising directly from a carrier’s negligence or willful misconduct, up to a maximum of $100.00 per delivery. Such maximum applies no matter how many items are included in the delivery.

You may purchase insurance through a third-party (see “Miscellaneous – Terms regarding 3rd Party Shipping Insurance” below). The additional insurance must be purchased at the time the delivery is arranged or prearranged with Provider at the account level. No insurance can or will be added once the delivery is assigned to a carrier.

In any claim for reimbursement from Provider, you must prove the value of the item(s) in the delivery subject to the claim, regardless of the value declared or the amount of insurance purchased. Provider will not pay on a claim without proof of the declared value. You must also provide documentation that verifies the replacement cost of the item subject to the claim.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT NO MATTER WHAT TOTAL VALUE YOU DECLARE FOR YOUR DELIVERY OR ANY INDIVIDUAL ITEM(S) CONTAINED IN SUCH DELIVERY, PROVIDER’S MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT TO YOU FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO ANY OR ALL ITEMS IN THE DELIVERY IS $100.00.

Filing A Claim: You must file a claim within 72 hours of the item being delivered. To file a claim, you must provide itemized documentation with proof of purchase for the items that are part of the claim including a completed claim form filled out. Fill out all fields on the claim form and email the completed claim form with proof of purchase and itemized documentation to [email protected].

API TERMS

DISPUTE RESOLUTION; AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATION; AND CLASS WAIVER

You and Provider agree that, except as provided below regarding small claims court proceedings, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Provider services, Site, your account(s), offers, user interfaces, our Privacy Policy or our privacy practices generally, these Provider Terms, and this “Agreement to Arbitrate,” shall be determined by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PROVISION, AND THAT YOU AND PROVIDER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your Provider account(s).

PRE-FILING MEDIATION. In the event of a dispute, prior to initiating arbitration, the party asserting the claim must first send to the other, by certified mail with return receipt requested (or any successor service), a written Notice of claim (“Notice”). If you are the claimant, the Notice to Provider must be addressed to: Auctane LLC / Dispute Resolution, 4301 Bull Creek Rd., Ste. 300, Austin, Texas 78731, with a copy to Legal Department – Dispute Resolution, Auctane LLC, 1990 E Grand Ave., El Segundo, CA 90245. If Provider is the claimant, the Notice must be addressed to the address used for your account. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. Following receipt of the Notice, each party agrees to negotiate with the other in good faith about the claim. If the claim is not resolved to the satisfaction of the claimant within sixty (60) days after Notice is provided, the claimant may pursue the claim in arbitration or file a claim in small claims court.

ADDITIONAL ARBITRATION PROVISIONS:

Settlement Offers: During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Provider or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

Initiating A Claim: The form required to initiate an arbitration can be printed or downloaded from www.adr.org. Alternatively, you can contact the arbitration administrator by calling 800-778-7879.

Fees for Initiating Arbitration: If you are required to pay a filing fee to initiate arbitration, after Provider receives notice of the initiation of arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee at the address we have for you on file (or the address provided in the Notice), unless your claim is for greater than US $10,000.

Applicable Rules; Administrator: The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by the requirements of this section of the Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

Location of Hearing: Unless Provider and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Award Enhancement: If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Provider’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Provider did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Provider will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

Class Waiver: YOU AND PROVIDER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Provider agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one party, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable as applied to any claim asserted by you, then the entirety of the arbitration provision set forth in this section shall be null and void.

Injunctive Relief Limitation: The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

Small Claims Procedure Alternative: Notwithstanding the foregoing binding arbitration procedure, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court (provided the claim otherwise qualifies for such program) as an alternative to proceeding with arbitration.

NO UNLAWFUL OR PROHIBITED USE

As a condition of your use of this Site, you warrant to Provider that you will not use the Site for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms, or the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in which you are located or to which your envelope or parcel was sent. It is your duty and obligation to know and comply with all applicable federal and state laws relating to the pickup and delivery locations of any delivery and all items contained in a delivery, including without limitation those laws governing the transportation of items over State lines, prohibiting the transportation or shipment of certain items both within a State and between States, restricting the amounts of certain items that can be shipped, and age restrictions. You have the responsibility to package items appropriately based on level of risk, fragility, and other factors specific to the individual item.

THIRD PARTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS: You are responsible for following the terms and conditions of all carriers and partners accessed through the Site. Please visit each individual website to obtain and review their terms and conditions. Use of carrier services via the Services (including through the Shipsi Instant Delivery App or the Shipsi Instant Delivery Portal) is at your own risk.

Provider’s display on or through the Services of delivery service options offered by third parties does not in any way imply, suggest, or constitute any sponsorship or approval of any such carrier or any affiliation between any such carrier and Provider. Display of specific options does not suggest a recommendation by Provider of the carrier or its delivery options. Your interaction with any carrier or other third party found on or through our Services, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, is solely at your own risk.

VIOLATIONS OF LAW: Provider services may not be used in violation of any law or in any way that interferes unreasonably with others’ use of the services.

You agree to the rate provided and displayed at the time of the transaction, as that amount may fluctuate. No refunds shall be applicable to transactions that could have been obtained at a less expensive rate, unless the transaction qualifies for a refund as provided for elsewhere in these Terms.
