The terms of your Order shall not modify this Agreement. If you are an individual, you certify that you are 18 years of age or older. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of your customer, business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to this Agreement, in which case the terms “you” or “your” shall also refer to such entity and its affiliates. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, you must not accept this Agreement and may not use the Services.
    2. We may change or revise this Agreement at our discretion. If any change or revision to this Agreement is not acceptable to you, your only remedy is to stop using the Services and send a cancellation email to support@hub-ez.com. Otherwise, you will be bound by the changed or revised terms.

    2. You shall pay the following Service Fees (unless modified by a Service Level or Volume Agreement):

(“UPS”), FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”), United States Postal Service (“USPS”) and DHL Express (“DHL”) (each, individually, a “Carrier,” and collectively, the “Carriers”), to find the lowest shipping rate for the most reliable shipping option for the desired speed.
    4. Quotations for the Services and Service Fees are for informational purposes only, are subject to change without notice, and shall not under any circumstances be binding upon Hub-ez. Quotations accepted through our online interface are estimates based on the best information available at the time made. The final rates and Service Fees may vary based upon the Goods actually tendered, the work actually performed, or a number of factors such as carrier shipping prices, the actual characteristics of your product, the delivery address, and service requested during the normal course of delivery. Hub-ez reserves the right to bill the Service Fees based on actual charges at any time after the Services are rendered.

Where applicable, you shall pay all Transaction Taxes arising in respect of the Service Fees or other amounts charged to Hub-ez by you.
    8. All dollar amounts stated in this Agreement and the website will be in US dollars unless otherwise specified.

  3. Your Data Rights.
    1. You retain all right, title and interest in and to Your Data, other than the limited rights expressly granted in this Section 6.

    2. Vendor shall provide Hub-ez, in a digital format through the Hub-ez dashboard, with bills of lading for the inventory of all inbound shipments of Goods prior to the shipment arriving to Hub-ez’s facility. All inbound shipments shall be properly labeled and clearly identify the units and quantities of carton, case, or master case. Vendor represents and warrants that the information set forth on any shipment or delivery document, including, without limitation, information as to count, weight, description and condition of the Goods, is accurate and complete and may be relied upon by Hub-ez.

    9. Hub-ez’s obligations for Excel and Bulk Uploads and Promotional/Volume Spikes are set forth in our Excel and Bulk Upload Policy. Hub-ez bears no other liability or obligations for Excel and Bulk Uploads or Promotional/Volume Spikes. This Volume Agreement shall apply to any excel upload orders or large spikes in volume above regular volume. Customers with inconsistent volume with frequent and infrequent spikes without prior notice to Hub-ez create difficulty in predicting the labor required. Infrequent high volume makes it difficult for Hub-ez to predict and plan labor and other resources. Accordingly, the following terms apply:
      1. Excel and Bulk upload:
        1. Based on the number of Orders in an Excel upload, the following requirement apply:
          1. Order Count <100: No action required.
          2. Order count 100 – 999: Inform Hub-ez using the below Google Form at least 72 hours before Order placement.
          3. Order count 1,000 – 4,999: Provide notice to Hub-ez using the Google Form set forth below at least 72 hours before Order placement and allow order volume to be distributed over 2 days.
          4. Order volume >=5000: Customer shall contact Hub-ez AM and Operations and work out a special schedule to complete Orders acceptable to Hub-ez.
        2. Promotional / Volume Spikes
          1. If Order volume is expected to be greater than 2 times the previous 30 day average and the Order count is greater than 100 Orders on a particular day, then 72 hour notice is required to maintain Services. Customer shall provide notice pursuant to the Large WRO early warning Google form set forth below.
          2. The following exception applies to this Volume Agreement:
            1. If You do not provide 72 hour notice of an excel upload over 100 Orders, Hub-ez will fulfill those Orders according to the below schedule:
              1. Tier 1: 0-100 orders – fulfilled within 1 day
              2. Tier 2: 100-249 orders – fulfilled within 2 days
              3. Tier 3: 250-499 orders – fulfilled within 3 days
              4. Tier 4: 500-749 orders – fulfilled within 4 days
              5. Tier 5: 750-4,999 orders – fulfilled within 5 days
              6. Tier 6: 5,000 and above – Shipment will depend on Hub-ez’s AM and Operations and is subject to Hub-ez’s discretion.
            2. Hub-ez will increase labor on hand to fulfill large Order drops same day. In the event these large Order drops do not occur, Hub-ez will charge a fee to help recoup the costs of unnecessary additional labor. Clients may cancel a stated large order drop at no fee if they provide 48 hour written notice.
            3. In any event, the following additional charges for Services shall apply:
              1. If at least 50% of stated order volume is placed, no charge.
              2. If under 50% of stated Order volume is placed, a charge of $1.25 per Order for all Orders from the stated volume to the realized volume will be assessed to recoup labor costs. (For example, if You stated You would place 200 Orders and only placed 50 Orders, You would be assessed a fee of $187.50 (150 Orders at $1.25 per Order).
            4. For Orders subject to this Volume Agreement, Customer will provide notice as follows:
              1. Promotional/Bulk Upload details google form: https://goo.gl/forms/v79sqgLkaTI76Tch1
              2. All forms must be true and accurate.
            5. Shippable Addresses.
              1. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and deliverability of Order shipping addresses. Hub-ez may, at its sole discretion, verify Order shipping addresses, but this is not a replacement for merchant address diligence and verification by You. You agree and acknowledge that Hub-ez has no obligation to verify any shipping addresses provided by You.
              2. If Hub-ez provides an Order shipping estimate on the basis of an address later discovered to be inaccurate or incomplete, you are solely responsible for any applicable address correction fees Hub-ez incurs from the Carrier, any difference in shipping cost or for any other costs or fees due to the incomplete or inaccurate address. Examples of discrepancies for which you may be responsible include, but are not limited to, incomplete addresses, incorrect addresses, commercial/residential address status, and rural address status. Hub-ez also reserves the right to put the order on hold if addresses are not validated by the Hub-ez system.
            6. Service Level Agreement

Hub-ez’s SLA’s for non-excel upload and volume spikes can be found at the following link: https://support.hub-ez.com/s/article/Hub-ez-s-turnaround-times-policies-and-SLAs. Additionally, during peak season (defined as the dates between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve), Hub-ez SLAs will increase by 1 business day for each category due to increased volume.

  1. Delays or Non-Delivery.

Unless specifically excepted in a Volume Agreement or Service Level Agreement, Hub-ez shall not be liable or responsible for any delays in domestic or international shipments of Goods or Orders, and is, without limitation, not responsible or liable for non-delivery or late delivery of Goods caused by third-parties, including carriers.

  1. Fraudulent Orders.

IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FRAUD. IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY ALL FEES RELATED TO ORDERS WHETHER THE ORDER IS FRAUDULENT OR THE PRODUCT IS DELIVERED OR NOT.

  1. International Returns.

International shipments that are not delivered are often returned by the Carrier and assessed return shipping, brokerage, and returns processing carrier fees. These fees assessed by the Carriers are billed through to merchants, often without notice. Hub-ez strives to work with you to circumvent International returns or abandoned inventory at your request; however, this is done on a reasonable efforts basis and Hub-ez reserves the right to charge you fees to the value of the original shipping cost, including all costs and expenses of returns. If a tariff is not available, Hub-ez will either put orders on hold until tariff information is available or override the order with no liability to Hub-ez.

  1. International CDT.

Customs, Duties and Taxes (“CDT”) on any international shipment charged by the Carrier are your sole responsibility and will be charged back to you regardless of whether they were or were not in the initial shipping estimate, or whether the order was or was not delivered.

  1.  

All non-Carrier related returns (international and domestic) must follow the return policy at https://hub-ezsupport.force.com/Support/s/article/Returns-Hub-ez, which may be updated from time to time. Custom returns may be rejected and/or subject to additional fees. Vendor shall be solely responsible for any fees assessed by any Carrier as a result of any shipments of Goods that are returned to Hub-ez by the Carrier for any reason whatsoever.

  1. Required Removals.

Hub-ez may, at its sole discretion, require you to remove unsuitable or unsellable Goods from its distribution centers. Hub-ez will notify You if it has any inventory that requires removal. Pick fees may also be assessed for labor incurred to remove inventory. If you do not remove the inventory within 30 days of receiving a required removal notice, Hub-ez may dispose of the inventory listed in the required removal notice. You shall not be entitled to any damages or reimbursement for the value of Goods disposed of by Hub-ez if you do promptly remove the Goods upon Hub-ez’s written request.

  1. Abandoned Account.

If your Service Fees (or any other amounts owed Hub-ez) remain unpaid for a period greater than 30 days, then Hub-ez reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement, suspend its performance, and/or reclassify your Account as an “Abandoned Account.” Additionally, any Account that remains unpaid for greater than 60 days will automatically be deemed an Abandoned Account. To the fullest extent permitted by law, upon an Account becoming an Abandoned Account, all rights to ownership of the Account Balance and Goods would then immediately be forfeited by you. Goods will become immediately and irrevocably unavailable to you, and liquidation proceedings would begin. You agree such Goods would be free and clear of liability, and that you would assume any liability therefore. You would have no rights to the liquidation proceeds. You would also remain liable for any pending Service Fees above and beyond the liquidation proceeds.

  1. Force Majeure.

Hub-ez shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance hereunder which may be due, in whole or in part, to fire, explosion, earthquake, storm, flood, drought or other adverse weather condition, accident, casualty, breakdown of machinery or facilities, strike, lockout, combination of workmen or other labor difficulties (from whatever cause arising, and whether or not the demands of the employees are reasonable or within Hub-ez’s power to grant), war, civil disturbance, acts of terrorism, insurrection, riot, act of God or the public enemy, law, act, order, proclamation, decree, regulation, ordinance, instruction or request of Government or other public authorities, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, delay or failure of carriers, shippers or contractors, labor shortage or inability to obtain transportation, equipment, operating materials, plant equipment or materials required for our performance, curtailment or suspension of operations to remedy or avoid an actual or alleged violation or violations of Federal, State or local law, as may be in effect from time to time during the Agreement period, or any contingency or delay or failure or cause of any nature beyond the reasonable control of Hub-ez, whether or not of the kind hereinabove specified and whether or not any such contingency is presently occurring or occurs in the future.

  1. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
    1. The Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Hub-ez or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond our reasonable control.

    2. THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE HUB-EZ PLATFORM AND CONTENT, AND ALL SERVER AND NETWORK COMPONENTS, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND HUB-EZ EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HUB-EZ DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR VIRUS-FREE, NOR DOES HUB-EZ MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES, AND NO INFORMATION, ADVICE OR SERVICES OBTAINED BY YOU FROM US SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
    3. Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to you. IN THESE STATES, COMPANY’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
    4. Hub-ez does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that any of its facilities will maintain any specific temperature ranges or humidity levels.
  2. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
    1. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE) SHALL HUB-EZ BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, OR LOST DATA. FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, HUB-EZ IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, COSTS, LOSSES OR LIABILITIES IN EXCESS OF THE GOODS DAMAGE CAP OR THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY CAP SET FORTH BELOW, WHICHEVER IS THE LESSER AMOUNT. HUB-EZ WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR, ANY PRODUCT DAMAGE, LOSS, OR DETERIORATION CAUSED BY FLUCTUATIONS IN TEMPERATURE OR HUMIDITY LEVELS.
    2. Insurance, Damage and Loss of Goods:
      1. INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE AT YOUR SOLE COST AND EXPENSE. NOTWITHSTANDING YOUR PURCHASE OF INSURANCE COVERAGE, IN THE EVENT OF LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF GOODS (“GOODS LOSS”) FOR WHICH HUB-EZ IS OR MAYBE LEGALLY LIABLE, YOU AGREE THAT HUB-EZ’S LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GOODS DAMAGE CAP SET FORTH BELOW. FOR INSURANCE TO APPLY TO YOUR CLAIM, YOU MUST PURCHASE THE INSURANCE PRIOR TO THE GOODS LOSS. HUB-EZ DOES NOT REPRESENT, WARRANT OR GUARANTY THAT INSURANCE WILL COVER ALL OR A PORTION OF YOUR GOODS LOSS. HUB-EZ SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE IF INSURANCE COVERAGE IS NOT AFFORDED FOR THE GOODS LOSS OR IF COVERAGE IS DENIED.
      2. HUB-EZ’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR GOODS LOSS (INCLUDING LOSS FROM ANY GOODS COUNT INACCURACIES) WILL BE CAPPED AT 5% OF THE TOTAL PRODUCT VALUE OR ONE MONTH OF THE AVERAGE BILLABLE STORAGE, WHICHEVER IS LOWER (“GOODS DAMAGES CAP”). FOR GREATER COVERAGE, YOU MUST ADD INSURANCE IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS ON THE GOODS THAT YOU WISH COVERED BY INSURANCE, IN WHICH CASE AN INCREASED CHARGE WILL BE MADE BASED UPON SUCH INCREASED COVERAGE. NO SUCH COVERAGE SHALL BE VALID UNLESS PAID FOR BEFORE LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE GOODS HAS OCCURRED.
    3. Exclusive Remedy. THE GOODS DAMAGE CAP SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 22 SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST HUB-EZ FOR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION WHATSOEVER RELATING TO LOSS, DAMAGE AND/OR DESTRUCTION OF GOODS, AND SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS, INCLUDING GOODS SHORTAGE OR ANY OTHER CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES (INCLUDING CONVERSION OR THEFT CLAIMS).
    4. IN ANY EVENT, HUB-EZ’S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU, NOTWITHSTANDING THE NATURE OR GROUNDS FOR ALL CLAIMS, INCLUDING THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY HUB-EZ, SHALL NOT EXCEED $2,000 FOR ANY CLAIMS NOT COVERED BY THE GOODS DAMAGE CAP. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PARTIES RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
