Description of Shipping Collect Services

The entity from which you purchased goods (the "Merchant") is subject to shipping costs, taxes, custom duties and other fees levied by the destination country. The Merchant has given Easyship authorization to contact and interact with the receiver of the goods, You, to offer additional shipping services ("Shipping Collect Services") and collect the fees for these Shipping Collect Services. Shipping Collect Services include transportation courier, insurance, and the option to pre-pay import taxes and duties.

More specifically Easyship gives you the option to customise the shipment of your order by:

1. selecting a shipping transporter, courier, or mail service ("Courier");
2. purchasing a shipping insurance ("Insurance"); and
3. pre-paying import taxes and duties for your order.

Shipping Fee

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.

Insurance

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.

Import taxes and duties

For international orders, local customs may charge import taxes and duties, in the form of local customs charges, import taxes, import duties, last-mile delivery fee, or in general any extra charge(s) regarding the Shipment ("Taxes and Duties"). Easyship will provide an estimate of the Taxes and Duties prior to each Shipment ("Taxes and Duties Estimate") for the Buyer's reference.

If agreed by Merchant, Easyship may give Buyers the option to pay Taxes and Duties at delivery, also called Delivery Duty Unpaid ("DDU") shipments, or to prepay Taxes and Duties, also called Delivery Duty Paid shipments ("DDP").

For DDU Shipments, if the Buyer chooses not to pay in advance for any Taxes and Duties arising in the destination country, the Buyer acknowledges that any Taxes and Duties will be the Buyer's sole responsibility. The Taxes and Duties Estimate for DDU shipments shall be for reference only and the Shipment may be subjected to further additional charges which could vary depending on the local policies of the destination country. Easyship will not be liable for any discrepancies between the Shipping Fees collected by Easyship and Taxes and Duties Estimates provided by Easyship and any local fee, or additional delivery fee charged by third parties to the Buyer.

For DDP Shipments, the Buyer chooses to prepay Taxes and Duties (DDP) to Easyship before the order is shipped. The Buyers shall not be liable for any discrepancy between the Taxes and Duties Estimates charged by Easyship and any local fee, or additional delivery fee provided that all information in respect of the Shipment submitted to Easyship by the Buyer is complete and accurate. Easyship reserves the right to charge a Buyer using DDP Shipments additional fees in respect of excessive Taxes and Duties resulting from the incomplete and/or inaccurate information provided by the Buyer used to compute the Taxes and Duties Estimate.

Easyship shall not be liable for any loss, delay, or damage of items shipped, while in the hands of a local custom. In addition, Easyship shall not be held responsible in the event that the local custom confiscates, holds, or denies release of the Shipment to the Buyer.

Additional Fees

Easyship may quote, and bill if accepted by the Buyer, additional fees, including, but not limited to, peak surcharges, seasonal charges ("Additional Fees").

Payment of Fees

Shipping Collect 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").

Discrepancies

In the event there is a discrepancy between the Shipping Fees charged by Easyship at the moment the Buyer purchases a shipping label and the costs for the Shipment charged by Couriers or customers to Easyship due to incorrect information that you provided, including, but not limited to, incorrect weight, dimensions, value of the item(s), addresses, declaration of residential address, or any other information critical to estimate Shipping Fees, you will be responsible for such discrepancy amount ("Shipping Fees Discrepancies" or "Adjustments"). Easyship specifically disclaims any liability for any Shipping Fees errors due to inaccurate or incomplete information. Easyship is not responsible for any changes or alteration of Shipping Collect Fees. Easyship agrees to make reasonable efforts to bill such discrepancy amounts to you in a timely manner but Easyship makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing. Any such Adjustments will be charged by Easyship to your Authorized Payment Method.

Shipping Collect Fees are billed at the moment Shipping Collect Services are purchased from Easyship, therefore the Shipping Collect Services shall be considered as "pre-paid".

Currency fluctuations and exchange rates

Easyship reserves the right to adjust its pricing in response to currency fluctuations, including, but not limited to, currency conversion rate changes, conversion fee changes, and/or discount rate changes.

Easyship will indicate which currency a transaction is being billed for, but Easyship is not responsible for any fees or currency exchange rates charged to you

Disputes

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.

Taxes

You acknowledge and agree that all fees, charges and any other rates or amounts charged by Easyship to you hereunder are exclusive of any applicable value added, sales/use or goods and Shipping Collect Services' taxes ("Transaction Taxes") which may be levied in connection with the supply by Easyship of the Shipping Collect Services to you. Where applicable, you shall be responsible to pay all Transaction Taxes arising in respect of the Shipping Fees or other amounts charged by Easyship to you.

Buyers who incorrectly declare the commodity type and/or value of their shipment(s) may be charged a penalty of US$100 or the difference between the declared value and the transactional value, whichever is higher.

Refund

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.

Others

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.
