The Website is designed to provide assistance to Buyers (“Buyer(s)”, “you”) in creating and managing shipments (“Shipment”). This Website and the offer of our Shipping Collect Services (defined below) are offered on the sole condition of your acceptance without modification of any and all the terms, conditions, and notices set forth below (Collectively, the “Terms of Service ( Shipping Collect Service)”). By accepting our Terms of Service (Shipping Collect Service), or by using any Shipping Collect Services provided by us, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms of Service (Shipping Collect Service) and represent that you have read and understood the same.
The Terms of Service (Shipping Collect Service) are accessible at any time on the following page of our Website: https://www.easyship.com/legal/collect-service. You must read, agree with and accept all the terms and conditions contained in the Terms of Service (Shipping Collect Service), and our privacy policy contained in www.easyship.com/legal/privacy (“Privacy Policy”) prior to becoming an Easyship Buyer. If you do not accept any provision in our Terms of Service (Shipping Collect Service) and/or Privacy Policy, you are not authorized to use this Website or our Shipping Collect Services and shall immediately cease using this Website.
The Terms of Service (Shipping Collect Service) represent a legally binding agreement between you (and your client, employer or another entity if you are acting on their behalf) and Easyship and its direct affiliates or subsidiaries, including the various different entities that Easyship uses to operate locally in different countries.
Merchant will communicate to Easyship the Couriers Merchant wants to offer to Buyers. The cost of transportation (“Shipping Fee”) depends on many factors including, but not limited to, Merchant's address, Buyer's address, weight, dimensions, category of the product, value of the items, and Courier chosen and includes all costs related to the Shipment, quoted by Easyship, including, but not limited to, transportation cost, fuel surcharge, remote area surcharge, residential surcharges, pick-up fees, and any other amount related to the activity of shipping through Easyship. Easyship will display the available Couriers options and corresponding Shipping Fees to Buyers, who will select the preferred one. Merchant will communicate to Easyship whether the Shipping Fees may be paid by the Merchant or the Buyer and Easyship will collect the shipping cost from the relevant party before dispatching the order.
You may purchase insurance coverage for your Shipments (“Insurance Fees”) through Easyship. All rules, terms and policies related to shipping insurance offered through the Website shall be governed by the Insurance Terms and Conditions (https://www.easyship.com/legal/insurance-terms-and-conditions).
Easyship may quote, and bill if accepted by the Buyer, additional fees, including, but not limited to, peak surcharges, seasonal charges (“Additional Fees”).
Together, the Shipping Fees, Insurance Fees, Taxes and Duties, and the Additional Fees are referred to as the “ Shipping Collect Fees”. You will pay any Shipping Collect Fees related to the provision of the Shipping Collect Services you have requested Easyship to provide by way of using a valid payment method (“Authorized Payment Method”).
In the event that you disagree with any Shipping Fees charged to you, you shall submit such complaint to Easyship within thirty (30) days of the fee being charged (“Dispute Period”). Easyship will not review customer requests for Shipping Fees adjustments that are received after the Dispute Period.
In the event Merchant does not intend to ship the order anymore, all refund requests of Shipping Collect Fees must be directed to the Merchant. Easyship will refund the Shipping Collect Fees paid by Buyer only after it has received approval from the Merchant. Upon the approval of the Merchant to refund any fees paid by the Buyer, Easyship will refund Shipping Collect Fees to the Buyer, using the payment method used for the original transaction, within ten (10) days from the date Merchant has approved the refund to the Buyer. In the event that the Shipment has already been shipped or dispatched and sent over to the Courier, such Shipment may not be cancelled nor refunded. If a Buyer has any question(s) regarding order cancellation and/or refund, the Buyer should communicate exclusively with Merchant. Easyship is not authorised or liable to refund Shipping Collect Fees to the Buyers if the Merchant declines or fails to give approval, and Easyship disclaims liability for any such refund in those circumstances.
For the avoidance of doubt, all sums payable by you to Easyship under these Terms of Service (Shipping Collect Service) shall be paid free and clear of any deductions or withholdings whatsoever. Other than taxes charged by Easyship to you and remitted to the appropriate tax authorities on your behalf, any deductions or withholdings that are required by law shall be borne by you and paid separately to the relevant taxation authority. Easyship shall be entitled to charge the full amount of Fees stipulated under these Terms of Service (Shipping Collect Service) to your Authorized Payment Method ignoring any such deduction or withholding that may be required.
