Ship my Deal Fees. The Company agrees to pay Ship my Deal for the Services, in the amounts agreed on, to be amended from time to time as agreed upon by the Parties.

Invoicing: Ship my Deal shall send invoices to the Company on the first of every month for services provided the prior month, following the conclusion of the period of which those specific services were provided. Storage fees are charged forward for the whole month including a relative charge for the month in which the goods arrive. All invoices must be paid within 7 days of being issued. If all, or a majority, of the Company’s Product being stored at Ship my Deal’s warehousing facilities is scheduled to be shipped out, Ship my Deal reserves the right to issue an invoice in advance which must be paid before Product can leave for shipping.

Prepaid account: Ship my Deal reserves the right to classify an account as Prepaid. A prepaid account will need to pay in advance for services before the services are done.

Deposit: Ship my Deal reserves the right to ask for a deposit in the amount of services/postage that may accrue in the future. Any deposit will be applied against the future invoices once the services are given. In case of a postage deposit, the deposit will remain until the Company has no more inventory at Ship my Deal warehouse.

Product Invoicing: Any and all fees due for the cost of the Product shall be paid directly by the intended recipient to the Company. Under no circumstances shall Ship my Deal accept, receive, or otherwise be held responsible for payments from the intended recipient made in exchange for the Product.

Title: The Company hereby agrees that at no time during the period that Products are held by Ship my Deal as Inventory in the Warehouse will Ship my Deal hold title, or any other rights of ownership in the Inventory. Title in Inventory will continue to be held by the Company until such time as the Products are delivered to the intended recipient.

Risk of Loss in Inventory will continue to be held by Company until such time as the Products are delivered to the intended recipient.

Insurance: The Company hereby agrees that it is the Company’s responsibility, at all times, to maintain an insurance policy that covers the cost of the Products held in Inventory. The Company has the option of adding the Warehouse as a designated storage location to the Company’s general inventory policy.

No Insurance: The Company can choose not to insure its inventory. In this event, Ship my Deal will, under no circumstances, be liable for any loss or damage to the inventory stored at Ship my Deal facilities. These events include, but are not limited to, theft, misuse, fire, natural disaster, or any other event, not directly caused by Ship my Deal.

Company's Account: In order to create an account with Ship my Deal, the Company will provide Ship my Deal with identifying information, the company information and information about the Products.

Services Available: Through the Account. By using Ship my Deal Services, the Company acknowledges and agrees that Ship my Deal is a broker of third-party shipping services; accepting shipments from, and making shipments to third parties. Ship my Deal is also a broker of other third-party services, such as U.S. addresses and U.S. phone numbers. Ship my Deal is an independent contractor for all purposes, and only acts as the agent of the Company with respect to Ship my Deal’s custody of the Products in its Inventory.

Account Balances: Any invoices Ship my Deal sends to the Company shall be based on any balance accrued in the Company’s Account. Services ordered through the Account and any special or additional fees assessed against the Account will be invoiced as permitted in this Agreement. The Company agrees and acknowledges that should the Company change Account billing plans during or at the end of any month, the previous pricing plan may no longer be available. All other fees for the Services will be billed on the 1st day of the month following the conclusion of the month for which such Services were provided, or an Account Balance has accrued.

Currency Fluctuations: Ship my Deal reserves the right to adjust its pricing for the Services in response to currency fluctuations; including but not limited to, currency conversion rate changes, conversion fee changes, and or discount rate changes. All dollar amounts stated in this Agreement will be in US dollars unless otherwise specified.

Ship my Deal will not review customer requests for Usage Fee adjustments that are received after the Dispute Period.

Account Balance Disputes: If Ship my Deal becomes aware of, or is notified of, a dispute relating to the Account Balance, then Ship my Deal will promptly review the dispute. Within 5 days after the resolution of the dispute, Ship my Deal will forward a bill for outstanding amounts due, or will credit the Account Balance accordingly, if appropriate.

Outstanding balance: In the event that the seller requests to ship out a majority of the goods received in the warehouse, Ship my Deal reserves the right to issue an invoice for the service and ask for the remaining balance to be paid prior to shipping out, regardless of the seller’s payment terms.

Abandoned Account and Liquidation: : If the Company’s Usage Fees or 3rd Party Fees remain unpaid for a period greater than 45 days, then Ship my Deal reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reclassify the Company’s Account as an “Abandoned Account”. Upon an Account becoming an Abandoned Account, Ship my Deal shall immediately inform the Company of such reclassification and the Company shall pay any unpaid fees within 15 days of receiving such notice. Such notice will be sent via email only, to the email address on file. If the Company fails to make the payment within 15 days, Inventory will become immediately unavailable to the Company, and liquidation proceedings would begin. The Company agrees the Inventory would be free and clear of liability, and that the Company assumes any liability therefore. The Company has no rights to any liquidation proceeds arising from an Abandoned Account and would remain liable for any pending Usage Fees and 3rd Party Fees above and beyond the liquidation proceeds.

Termination of the Account: Upon termination of this Agreement, the Account will be inaccessible to the Company, and all activity will be suspended. Ship my Deal reserves the right to place an Account on hold for a number of reasons upon providing a prior written notice to the Company via email; only to the email address on file, including but not limited to the following; (a) Account Balance remaining unpaid after 45 days of receipt of invoice, (b) Suspicious activity on or through the Account, (c) If anyone using the Account uses abusive language or otherwise threatens Ship my Deal or its staff, (d) To allow time to resolve or investigate a third party complaint of a violation of this Agreement, (e) To allow time for investigation or resolution of an unauthorized transaction, customer complaint, dispute or accusation; and (f) To allow time for Ship my Deal to comply with any extraordinary support requests.

Termination with 30 days’ Notice: Each party reserves the right to terminate this Agreement for any reason upon 30 days’ Notice (“Termination Notice Period”). The Company shall have full use of the Account during the Termination Notice Period. Any Product inventory that remains in Ship my Deal’s inventory at the expiration of the Termination Notice Period will be shipped to the Company at the address on file and, if address is not on file, the billing address on the Company’s credit card, at the Company’s expense. Any unshipped Products that remain at Ship my Deal warehouse within and after the 30 days’ notice will incur storage fees based on customer’s storage tariff. If no address is available or no balance is available to pay for shipment back to the Company, Ship my Deal will liquidate the Product inventory in accordance with an Abandoned Account.

Currency Fluctuations: Ship my Deal reserves the right to terminate an Account for any reason upon 30 days’ Notice (“Termination Notice Period”). Company may have full or limited use of the Account during the Termination Notice Period, subject to Ship my Deal’s discretion. Any Product inventory that remains in Ship my Deal’s inventory at the expiration of the Termination Notice Period will be shipped to Company at the address on file and, if address is not on file, the billing address on Company’s credit card, at Company’s expense. If no address is available or no balance is available to pay for shipment back to the Company, Ship my Deal will liquidate the Product inventory in accordance with an Abandoned Account.
