6. Payment of Fees

6.1. Fees
You can use Easyship to generate shipping labels using your own shipping courier accounts (“Your Courier Account“ or “User Courier Account“) or using Easyship own shipping courier accounts (“Easyship Courier Account“).

In case you generate a shipping label with a Easyship Courier Account you will be charged the shipping cost, which shall include all costs related to the Shipment, quoted by Easyship, including, but not limited to, transportation cost, fuel surcharge, import tax, import duty, remote area surcharge, residential surcharges, courier tax handling fees, pick-up fees, and any other amount related to the activity of shipping through Easyship (“Shipping Fees“). You acknowledge and agree that the Shipping Fees does not include any additional fees arising out of separate agreements with third-party service providers.

You may purchase an insurance coverage for your Shipments (“Insurance Fees“) through Easyship. All rules, terms and policies related to shipping insurance offered through the Site shall be governed by the Insurance Terms and Conditions (https://www.easyship.com/legal/insurance-terms-and-conditions).

Easyship offers various services, some available only by paying a monthly subscription fee (“Subscription Fees“). In the event you subscribe for a paid monthly plan you agree to pay the corresponding Subscription Fees.

You will pay any fees related to your purchase from Easyship of any Products or Services, including, but not limited to, Taxes and Duties, Shipping Fees Discrepancies (“Additional Fees“).

Together, the Shipping Fees, Insurance Fees, Subscription Fees, and the Additional Fees are referred to as the “Fees“.

6.2. Discrepancies
Quotations for Shipping Fees by Easyship are based on the information provided by you, including, but not limited to, sender’s address, receiver’s address, weight, dimensions, and value of the items. In the event a shipping label is generated using a Easyship Courier Account and there is a discrepancy between the Shipping Fees charged by Easyship at the moment the User purchases a shipping label and the costs for the Shipment charged by Couriers 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 the Shipping Fees. Easyship agrees to make reasonable efforts to bill such discrepancy amount to your account in a timely manner but Easyship makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing.

6.3. Account Balance
You must keep at least one valid payment method (“Authorized Payment Method“) on file with us to pay for all incurred and recurring Fees and to transfer funds to your Easyship Account (“Account Balance“). As Fees are incurred, any such amount will be deducted from your Account Balance and charged to your Authorized Payment Method.

Subscription Fees are paid in advance and will be billed monthly (each such date, a “Billing Date“). You will be charged on each Billing Date for all outstanding Subscription Fees that have not previously been paid. Fees will appear on an invoice, which will be sent to the User via the email provided. As well, an invoice will appear on the billing section of your Easyship Account.

Shipping Fees, Insurance Fees and Additional Fees are billed at the moment a shipping label is generated, therefore the Services shall be considered as “pre-paid“. Shipping Fees are subject to change as set out in Section 6.3 herein. In order to access our Services.

Users must maintain a minimum Account Balance in the amount of US$ 0 in the Easyship Account at all times. In the event that the Account Balance becomes negative, meaning lower than 0, you authorize Easyship to instantly charge the due Fees to any Authorized Payment Method, and Easyship will continue to charge the Authorized Payment Method for applicable Fees until all outstanding Fees have been paid in full.

If we are not able to charge one of your Authorized Payment Methods we may try to charge any of the other Authorized Payment Methods saved on Easyship. In case we are not able to collect the outstanding Fees we may suspend and revoke access to your Account and the Services. Your Account will be reactivated upon your payment of any outstanding Fees, plus the Fees applicable to your next billing cycle. You may not be able to access your Account during any period of suspension at which point you will be required to contact our support team at https://support.easyship.com. If the outstanding Fees remain unpaid for ten (10) days following the date of suspension, you agree to deposit funds into your Easyship Account using another payment method and update the Authorized Payment Method.

6.4. 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 fee or currency exchange rates charged to you by any third party payment provider.

6.5. Shipping Fee Disputes
In the event that you disagree with any Shipping Fees charged to your account, 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.

6.6. 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 Services’ taxes (“Transaction Taxes“) which may be levied in connection with the supply by Easyship of the 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.

Users 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, which ever is higher.

6.7. Balance Refund
Users may request for a refund from Easyship of any available and unused Account Balance, that will be refunded on the Authorized Payment Method used to deposit the funds on the Easyship Account, subject to payment of payment fees, or transaction fees, or any other related fees. Easyship will refund the available and unused Account Balance within ten (10) days from the time the request by the User is received by Easyship.

6.8. Shipping Fee Refund
Users may cancel any paid and unused shipping label and request for a refund accordingly prior to a Shipment being processed. Easyship will refund the Shipping Fee to the User, either to the User Account Balance or to the User Authorized Payment Method, within ten (10) days from the date the User has requested for such cancellation. In the event that the Shipment has already been shipped and sent over to the courier, such Shipment may not be cancelled and the User shall be billed for the full Shipment Fee and any other related fees thereof. In case a Shipment previously refunded to the User by Easyship, is shipped by User, Easyship will bill and charge User for the related Shipment Fees.

6.9. Others
You are responsible for all applicable Taxes that arise from or as a result of your subscription to or purchase of Easyship Services. To the extent that Easyship charges these Taxes, they are calculated using the tax rates that apply based on the billing address you provide to us. If you are not charged Taxes by Easyship, you are responsible for determining if Taxes are payable, and if so, self-remitting Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in your jurisdiction.

For the avoidance of doubt, all sums payable by you to Easyship under these Terms of 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 to your Authorized Payment Method ignoring any such deduction or withholding that may be required.

10.2. No Continuous Access
Easyship does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to the Services. Operation of the Services may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. Easyship will make reasonable efforts to process requests for receiving or shipping merchandise in a timely manner but Easyship makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because our Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays caused by third parties. Easyship is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental damage, loss of profit, goodwill, use, or data resulting from our inability to provide the Service. We reserve the sole right to discontinue the Website and our Services, including any of the Website’s features, at any time with or without notice to you.

11. Limitation of Liability

11.1. Third-Party Liability

By accepting the Terms of Service, you acknowledge and agree that we do not assume any liability whatsoever for acts, errors, or omissions (including, without limitation, any negligence or willful misconduct) of any third-party service providers with whom you or any of your affiliates may contract, regardless of the purpose.

11.2. Waiver of Consequential Damages and Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Easyship be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or damages for loss or damage of Shipments, loss of profits, revenue, data or use, incurred by you or any third party, whether in an action in contract or tort, arising from your access to, or use of, the Website, any content, or any third party websites and content. Other than as set forth below, in no event shall Easyship’s liability under this agreement exceed the monies paid or payable by you to Easyship for the applicable services excluding carrier fees or other third party fees (“damages cap“). In the event of an unauthorized transaction by an Easyship employee or agent, Easyship is only liable for the damages cap. Easyship must be notified within five (5) days after any unauthorized transaction or you acknowledge to waive all damages from Easyship.

11.3. Declaration and Accurate Information
You are responsible to provide complete and accurate information in respect of the Shipment, including, but not limited to, the item category and item value of the Shipment. You shall be responsible for any error, damage, expense or consequence resulting from wrong or incomplete information provided to us. You shall further indemnify Easyship for and hold Easyship harmless from any loss or expense resulting as a consequence of the wrong information provided by you. Easyship shall not be responsible for losses or damages in the event that any item contained in the Shipment is wrongfully declared. Moreover, Easyship is in no way responsible for any damages, losses due to custom practice. Easyship shall not be liable for the accuracy and truthfulness of the information provided by you.

11.4. Import Taxes and Duties
When you generate a Shipment using a Easyship Courier Account shipping label, you have the option of choosing between a DDU Shipment or a DDP Shipment. In DDU Shipments, you choose not to pay in advance for any taxes and duties in respect of the Shipment arising in the destination country, of which the receiver will be billed accordingly. By using DDU Shipment, Users acknowledge that any local customs charges, import taxes, import duties, last-mile delivery fee, or in general any extra charge(s) regarding the Shipment (“Taxes and Duties“), will be of the receiver’s sole responsibility. Easyship shall not be liable for any discrepancies between the Shipping Fees by Easyship and any local fee, or additional delivery fee charged to the receiver.

In the event that you generate a Shipment using a Easyship Courier Account, and wish to avoid the receiver for being charged any additional fee, you may use DDP Shipment, in which you agree to pre-pay the Taxes and Duties in respect of the receiving country at the time you purchase the shipping labels.

Easyship will provide to you an estimate of the Taxes and Duties prior to each Shipment for your reference (“Estimate“). For DDU Shipments, such Estimate shall be for reference only and the Shipment may be subject to other additional charges depending on the local custom practices of the destination country. For DDP Shipments generated using a Easyship Courier Account, Easyship guarantees that such Estimate shall be binding and any Taxes and Duties payable by the User shall not exceed the Estimate provided by Easyship. The Users shall not be liable for any discrepancy between the Shipping Fees by Easyship and any local fee, or additional delivery fee provided that all information in respect of the Shipment submitted to Easyship by the User is complete and accurate. Easyship reserves the right to charge a User using DDP Shipments additional fees in respect of excessive Taxes and Duties resulting from the incomplete and/or inaccurate information provided by the User used to compute the Estimate.
