You must keep a valid credit card on file with us to pay for all incurred and unpaid fees. ShipHero will charge applicable fees to the credit card account that you authorize (“Authorized Card”), and ShipHero will continue to charge the Authorized Card (or any replacement card) for applicable fees until the SaaS Services are terminated, and any and all outstanding fees in respect of fees have been paid in full. Unless otherwise indicated, all fees in respect of  and other charges are in U.S. dollars, and all payments shall be in U.S. currency.

If we are not able to process payment of your fees using the Authorized Card, we will make a second attempt to process payment using the Authorized Card 3 days later.

Your Account will be reactivated upon your payment of any outstanding fees. You will not be able to access your Account during any period of suspension.

Such amounts are in addition to the Fees for such products and services and will be billed to your Authorized Card. If you are exempt from payment of such Taxes, you must provide us with evidence of your exemption, which in some jurisdictions includes an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirements attesting to tax-exempt status. Tax exemption will only apply from and after the date we receive evidence satisfactory to ShipHero of your exemption.

You agree that in connection with you providing your Services to your Customers that you will have at all times proper insurance coverage to protect your Customers’ goods from damage, loss, theft, and shipping delays. While the specific amounts and types of coverage are up to you, you agree that such policies will be without material restrictions and will be with adequate amounts of coverage given the nature and volume of your Services. You further agree that such policies will include warehouse legal liability insurance, as well as normal business liability insurance coverages that most companies carry (e.g., commercial general liability (CGL), workers compensation, motor vehicle coverage, umbrella insurance and errors & omissions insurance).

In addition, you agree to always (a) inform your Customers that they are responsible for insuring its goods against other types of losses (e.g., fire, windstorm, etc.) or losses that may occur despite you taking reasonable care; and (b) recommend that your Customers obtain their own insurance.

When the functionality of the Marketplace allows for it, if you are located in the United States, Canada, the European Union, or another jurisdiction where it is permitted, you may purchase shipping labels from within the Marketplace (“ShipHero Shipping”) for the shipping of your Customers’ goods. If you utilize this service, you may be subject to additional terms and conditions.

10. Cancellation and Termination

You or ShipHero may cancel your Account at anytime. You may do so by sending an email to support@shiphero.com and then following the specific instructions indicated to you in ShipHero’s response. ShipHero may do so by sending an email to you at the email address on file for your administrative account and/or by suspending your access to your account. ShipHero will endeavor under the circumstances to give you notice of the cancellation at least thirty (30) days before the date of the cancelation.

Upon the cancellation of your Account by either party for any reason:

ShipHero will cease providing you with the SaaS Services and you will no longer be able to access your Account;

unless otherwise provided in these Terms of Service, you will not be entitled to any refunds of any fees, pro rata or otherwise;

any outstanding balance owed to ShipHero in respect of the Revenue Share for Procured Services that were incurred prior to the cancellation will immediately become due and payable in full without any set off or adjustment.

These Terms of Services survive the cancellation of your Account for three (3) years from the date of the cancellation.

ShipHero may audit your books and records during the term when your Account is active and for a period of three (3) years thereafter to determine if your payment of the Revenue Share was correct and to otherwise determine if your use of the SaaS Services was in accordance with these Terms of Services (including the AUP, the Privacy Policy and the DPA, if applicable). ShipHero and its representatives are entitled at periodic intervals and during reasonable business hours to interview your Account administrators and financial executives, and to examine and make copies of your books and records insofar as they relate to the transactions contemplated by these Terms of Service (but excluding any information related to your cost of doing business). You shall cooperate with any audit of such records that ShipHero may undertake and shall promptly pay any shortfall in Revenue Share that may be discovered by such audit. Each party shall bear its own costs with respect to any such audit, unless a discrepancy of more than five percent (5%) of the Revenue Share in your favor is uncovered, in which case you shall reimburse ShipHero for all of its third-party costs associated with the audit.

Without limiting any other remedies, ShipHero may immediately suspend or cancel your Account if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have (a) engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with the Marketplace, or (b) breached these Terms of Service (including the AUP, the Privacy Policy or the DPA, if applicable) in a material way.

11. Modifications to the Service and Prices

ShipHero may modify the Revenue Share Prices upon 30 days’ advance notice. Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to the Marketplace, the administration menu of the SaaS Services, or by emailing your administrator account.

ShipHero reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to modify or discontinue, the SaaS Services and the Marketplace (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

ShipHero shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the SaaS Service.

12. Third Party Services

In addition to these Terms of Service, you also agree to be bound by the additional service-specific terms applicable to services you purchase from, or that are provided by, ShipHero’s partners or other third parties.

ShipHero may from time to time recommend, provide you with access to, or enable third party software, applications (“Apps”), products, services or website links (collectively, “Third Party Services”) for your consideration or use. Such Third Party Services are made available only as a convenience, and your purchase, access or use of any such Third Party Services is solely between you and the applicable third party services provider (“Third Party Provider”). Any use by you of Third Party Services offered through the SaaS Services or the Marketplace is entirely at your own risk and discretion, and it is your responsibility to read the terms and conditions and/or privacy policies applicable to such Third Party Services before using them. In some instances, ShipHero may receive a revenue share from Third Party Providers.

We do not provide any warranties with respect to Third Party Services. You acknowledge that ShipHero has no control over Third Party Services and is not responsible or liable to anyone for such Third Party Services. The availability of Third Party Services via the SaaS Services or the Marketplace, or the integration or enabling of such Third Party Services with the SaaS Services does not constitute or imply an endorsement, authorization, sponsorship, or affiliation by or with ShipHero.

ShipHero does not guarantee the availability of Third Party Services and you acknowledge that ShipHero may disable access to any Third Party Services at any time in its sole discretion and without notice to you. ShipHero is not responsible or liable to anyone for discontinuation or suspension of access to, or disablement of, any Third Party Service. ShipHero strongly recommends that you seek specialist advice before using or relying on Third Party Services, to ensure they will meet your needs. In particular, tax calculators should be used for reference only and not as a substitute for independent tax advice when assessing the correct tax rates you should charge to your customers.

If you install or enable a Third Party Service for use with the SaaS Services, you grant us permission to allow the applicable Third Party Provider to access your data and to take any other actions as required for the interoperation of the Third Party Service with the SaaS Services, and any exchange of data or other interaction between you and the Third Party Provider is solely between you and such Third Party Provider. ShipHero is not responsible for any disclosure, modification or deletion of your data or other Materials, or for any corresponding losses or damages you may suffer, as a result of access by a Third Party Service or a Third Party Provider to your data or other Materials.

For instance, if Google Maps was a Third Party Service that was used within the SaaS Services, then your use of the such Third Party Service would be subject to your acceptance of the Google Maps and Earth Enterprise Universal Acceptable Use Policy, as it may be amended by Google from time to time.

Under no circumstances shall ShipHero be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, extraordinary, exemplary or other damages whatsoever, that result from any Third Party Services or your contractual relationship with any Third Party Provider. These limitations shall apply even if ShipHero has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing limitations shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and (as applicable) our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, ShipHero partners, officers, directors, agents, employees, and suppliers harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of your use of a Third Party Service or your relationship with a Third Party Provider.

13. Privacy and Data Protection

ShipHero 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 ShipHero’s collection, usage and disclosure of this personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Note: With regards to ShipHero’s Privacy Policy, explicitly referencing the retention period, we reserve the right to keep payment information on hand for up to 90 days post-termination in the event of a chargeback or merchandise returns for shipping and transfer fees; this ensures we are aligned with our Posted Privacy Policy to help resolve any possible disputes.

Additionally, if: (a) you are established in the European Economic Area (EEA); (b) you provide goods or services to customers in the EEA; or (c) you are otherwise subject to the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, ShipHero’s collection and use of personal information of any European residents is also subject to our Data Processing Addendum.

14. Non-solicitation

For the avoidance of confusion, we will not and we will cause our affiliates not to use your Qualified Customer/Merchant Data or the Confidential Information you disclose to us, including your Qualified Customer/Merchant pricing information, to solicit your Qualified Customers/Merchants. A Qualified Merchant is defined as a Customer/Merchant with a ShipHero connected store that has shipped at least 10,000 orders via the ShipHero Platform on Client’s ShipHero account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit or otherwise limit us or our affiliates from engaging in general advertising and/or marketing activities in the normal course of business and without use of or reliance on any of your Customer/Merchant Data or Confidential Information.

The solicitation rules do not apply in the following instances:

Qualified Merchant desires fulfillment in a location that 3PL Customer cannot service.

3PL customer approves LVK (previously ShipHero Fulfillment) to work in conjunction with 3PL Customer to meet Qualified Merchant’s needs. Or 3PL customer gives approval to LVK to work directly with the Qualified Merchant.

15. Reselling of Labels

As a ShipHero Customer, You expressly understand and agree that ShipHero reserves the right to limit your usage and/or charge You additional fees if you leverage freight/carrier Resellers. Customer Reselling Fees include, but are not limited to carrier rates and/or services provided by carriers, aggregators, transportation providers, and/or any other Reseller of carrier/freight/transportation rates (“Resellers”). You expressly understand and agree that you will be charged a ShipHero Customer Reseller Fee (“Customer Reseller Fee”) when you create a label (“ship”) using any Resellers’ carrier account(s), rate cards and/or services. You agree and will remit payment to ShipHero for any Customer Reselling Fees that are processed through the ShipHero platform and/or APIs/webhooks. The minimum Customer Reselling Fee that You agree to and will incur is $0.35 per label – Customer Reseller Fees can be greater depending on the carrier. For clarity, if You, a ShipHero Customer, use any Reseller rates, You then agree to remit payment to ShipHero a minimum of $0.35 per label. ShipHero will produce a monthly invoice and charge Your payment method on file. Customer Reseller Fees do not apply to ShipHero Approved Resellers

16. End-user agreement controls
As part of ShipHero’s commitment to security, privacy, and data protection, we have provided Complimentary User Entity Controls (CEUC) that are part of our Security Framework.

CUECs are the User Entity Controls that ShipHero provides for you to have in place with your customers so that you and they can adequately and securely use the services.

As part of our CUEC security control, ShipHero enables multifactor authentication (MFA) by default on all accounts and highly recommends mandatory (MFA) for all users who access the services, employees, contractors, vendors, or 3PL services to your customers, 

Any failure to implement prescribed CUECs properly results in gaps that counteract ShipHero’s internal controls and may cause compliance nonconformities that increase cyber risk exposure to our systems. 

Should a security incident or breach occur that we determine was caused by non-conformance with implementing any of the User Entity Controls. ShipHero has the right to charge the customer for engineering services to investigate and resolve the issue. 

The user entity controls subsequently presented should not be regarded as a comprehensive list of all controls that user entities should employ. User entities of ShipHero’s system should maintain controls for:

1. Notifying ShipHero’s management immediately regarding any employee termination that would require a revocation of logical access to their account.
2. Designating individuals for authorizing access to the account.
3. Periodically reviewing their customer access lists to the account and informing ShipHero of any access change requests.
4. Implementing systems to protect against security and availability threats from sources outside the boundaries of the system.
5. Applying logical access security controls, data encryption controls, and related procedures to their network-connected equipment.
6. Protecting their equipment against infection by computer viruses, malicious codes, and unauthorized software.
7. Complying with their contractual obligations.
8. Ensuring the supervision, management, and control of the use of ShipHero’s services by their personnel.
9. Ensuring that procedures are in place for developing, maintaining, and testing their own business continuity plans. 
10. Utilizing encrypted email to send data to ShipHero via the user entity’s encrypted email system or within ShipHero’s encrypted email system.
11. Ensuring appropriate encryption protocols protect data files transmitted to ShipHero.
12. Notifying ShipHero to change passwords for its accounts in the event the accounts have been compromised.
13. Changing passwords to its accounts on a periodic basis.
14. Implementing MFA on their user accounts.
