The terms of the Volume Agreement shall take precedence over any conflicting terms in this Agreement.
SFN Providers’ Responsibilities.
1. You understand and agree that ShipBob provides a technology platform connecting you with SFN Providers who are responsible for warehousing, picking and packing, and fulfilling your Goods. The Services offered by ShipBob pursuant to this Agreement do not include any of these services when your Goods are serviced by an SFN Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ShipBob may also provide warehouse, pick or pack, or fulfillment services for you, in which case this Agreement will govern ShipBob as a technology platform provider and as a performing SFN Provider.
2. ShipBob will help facilitate the filing of claims with SFN Providers for Goods that are lost or damaged by an SFN Provider, but ShipBob is not responsible for any shrinkage, loss, or damage caused by an SFN Provider. All such claims shall be subject to ShipBob’s Operations Errors Policy.
3. When such warehouse, pick or pack, and fulfillment services are performed by an SFN Provider, ShipBob will use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the SFN Provider’s assent to the following terms: (a) SFN Provider must utilize ShipBob’s proprietary Warehouse Management System and follow ShipBob’s fulfillment policies; (b) that the SFN Provider has the necessary approvals, authorities, licenses, and insurance to provide the fulfillment services; (c) that the SFN Provider will comply with all federal, state, provincial, and local laws, regulations, and ordinances including, but not limited to, safety-related laws and regulations; (d) that the SFN Provider accepts the duty of care consistent with all applicable industry best management practices, industry guidelines, and the care a reasonably careful person would exercise under like circumstances and (d) that the SFN Provider will maintain insurance as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ShipBob does not guarantee the suitability, legality, or ability of any SFN Provider. You agree that ShipBob is not responsible or liable for the SFN Providers’ performance of the warehousing, pick and pack, or fulfillment services and that ShipBob does not guarantee any SFN Provider’s compliance with applicable laws or regulations.
Carriers’ Responsibilities.
1. You understand and agree that ShipBob provides a technology platform connecting you with Carriers who are responsible for the actual shipping of your Goods. ShipBob shall use its proprietary technology to find the best available shipping option with a Carrier based upon the dimensions, desired speed, and final destination of the Order. ShipBob is not a carrier and does not itself ship or arrange to ship your Goods, nor do the Services include any shipping services.
2. ShipBob will help facilitate the filing of claims with Carriers for Goods that are lost or damaged by a Carrier, but ShipBob is not responsible for any loss or damage caused by a Carrier. All such claims shall be subject to ShipBob’s Lost in Transit and Damage Claims Policy.

  2. A $40.00 monthly pallet fee, $10 monthly shelf fee, or a $5.00 monthly bin fee, whichever is applicable per SKU, that shall be due for any whole or partial month, beginning on the date that inventory is delivered to ShipBob.

ShipBob reserves the right to bill the Service Fees based on actual charges at any time after the Services are rendered. ShipBob specifically disclaims liability for any Carrier shipping rate errors due to inaccurate or incomplete information provided to it, such as dimensions and weights.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UPON AN ACCOUNT BECOMING AN ABANDONED ACCOUNT, ALL RIGHTS TO OWNERSHIP OF THE ACCOUNT BALANCE AND GOODS WILL IMMEDIATELY BE FORFEITED BY YOU TO SHIPBOB. GOODS WILL BECOME IMMEDIATELY AND IRREVOCABLY UNAVAILABLE TO YOU, AND LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS WILL BEGIN. You agree such Goods would be free and clear of liability, and that you would assume any liability therefore. You will remain liable for any pending Service Fees above and beyond the liquidation proceeds.
Payment Method and Liens.
1. Payment processing for Services is provided by Stripe and is subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Service Agreement”) set forth at https://stripe.com/ssa.

You agree and acknowledge that either ShipBob or the SFN Provider, depending on which party is performing the warehouse, pick and pick, or fulfillment services shall maintain an actual or constructive general and continuing warehouseman’s lien and security interest under the UCC for all Goods in ShipBob’s or SFN Provider’s possession or control, regardless of whether a specific receipt is issued, to cover all charges, expenses, costs, and Service Fees set forth in this Agreement. In the event ShipBob or an SFN Provider is required to exercise its lien or security interest, you shall be responsible for all necessary and reasonable costs incurred to enforce the lien or security interest including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees. You will execute any and all agreements and documents so that ShipBob or an SFN Provider may obtain, perfect, and maintain its lien rights and security interest in the Goods. You will also execute any and all documentation to permit ShipBob to perfect the liens.
Inbound Shipments – Your Obligations.
1. You represent and warrant to ShipBob that (i) you are the legal owner of the Goods and/or have lawful possession or control of the Goods and that you have the sole legal right to store and thereafter direct the release and/or delivery of the Goods, (ii) there are no potential health, safety, or environmental hazards associated with the shipment, warehousing, or fulfillment of the Goods tendered to ShipBob under this Agreement, (iii) the Goods do not contain any material violating any federal, state, or local law (collectively, “Laws”); (iv) the Goods are not and do not contain any hazardous or dangerous materials under applicable Laws and are in compliance with ShipBob’s Dangerous Goods / HAZMAT Policy; and (v) the Goods do not violate ShipBob’s Acceptable Products Policy.

ShipBob may, in its sole discretion, reject Goods that ShipBob determines do not meet the above compliance obligations. If the Goods do not meet the foregoing requirements, you may incur additional fees from ShipBob, and if ShipBob rejects the Goods, this may result in a delay or non-shipment, and you agree that ShipBob shall not be liable for any loss or damage as a result of such delay or non-shipment.
2. You shall provide ShipBob, in a digital format through the ShipBob dashboard, with bills of lading for the inventory of all inbound shipments of Goods prior to the shipment arriving to an SFN Provider’s facility. All inbound shipments shall be properly labeled and clearly identify the units and quantities of carton, case, or master case. You represent and warrant 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 ShipBob. If any inbound inventory received does not follow ShipBob’s Warehouse Receiving Order (“WRO”) instructions located at https://support.shipbob.com/en/collections/2271945-inventory-products#wro-warehouse-receiving-orders, it will be classified as an Unidentified Receiving Order (“URO”) and subject to delays and additional fees in accordance with the On-Hold Receiving (URO) Policy. If the items in such a shipment cannot be identified by ShipBob, they may be discarded and ShipBob assumes no responsibility for any associated losses. If the quantity of any SKU (or any SKU in a box or pallet) received at an SFN Provider’s facility is either ten percent (10%) greater, or more than twenty-five (25) units more, than the expected quantity you submitted in the WRO, you will be required to submit a new accurate WRO. The warehouse receiving order shall be attached to the side of the box and the product name shall be clearly and conspicuously written on the outside of box.
3. You need to make an appointment in advance for any inbound freight shipment (non-parcel). Instructions are located here: https://support.shipbob.com/en/articles/3948678-schedule-an-appointment.
Onboarding.
1. 1. All inbound shipments must be received and inventoried before the Goods shall be prepared to be shipped by the Carriers.
  2. Upon receipt, ShipBob or SFN Provider may, at its sole discretion, verify the quantity of the Goods and inspect for any damage. You acknowledge and agree that ShipBob or SFN Provider has no obligation to verify the quantity, content, condition, or quality of the Goods delivered to SFN Provider’s facility for storage and/or delivery. ShipBob or SFN Provider may, at its sole discretion, reject storing and/or delivering any Goods that ShipBob or SFN Provider deems, in its sole discretion, to be improperly labeled or packaged as a URO, or any Goods that contain any hazardous or illegal material.
  3. If there are any outstanding or pending Orders that need to be fulfilled first, you shall notify ShipBob of the number of Orders to be sent initially and the expected timeline of processing such Orders.
  4. Unless otherwise specified in a Warehousing and Fulfillment Pricing Agreement or Volume Agreement, upon actual receipt of the Goods, you can expect a minimum of three (3) business days for Goods to be inventoried at ShipBob or an SFN Provider’s facility. After three (3) business days, your Orders will begin to be processed and labeled, beginning with outstanding and pending Orders. These timelines are subject to change during Peak Season (as defined below) or other holiday days.
  5. ShipBob will facilitate fulfillment of the number of Orders which was communicated during onboarding every day. Additional time may be required for special kitting, picking or any alterations in regular process.
  6. ShipBob or SFN Providers, as applicable, shall thereafter process, package, and facilitate the shipment of all Orders by Carriers within one (1) business day of actual receipt of the Order from you provided that proper inventory amounts exist and there are no issues with the Order. This provision shall not apply to Orders that are altered, Orders with low inventory items (less than ten (10) items in stock), held Orders and bulk Orders.
  7. You shall provide ShipBob with an expectation of the date for ShipBob or the SFN Provider to begin facilitating Carriers to ship your Goods, which shall conform to the terms of this Agreement.
1. You shall be solely responsible for the accuracy of any information provided to ShipBob and/or inputted onto ShipBob’s Site or Platform . You agree that ShipBob shall not be liable for any delay, loss, damage or costs as a result of any inaccurate information provided by you to ShipBob or any information inputted incorrectly by you onto ShipBob’s Site or Platform.
2. Volume Agreement for Excel and Bulk Uploads and Promotional/Volume Spikes. Other than the obligations set forth below, ShipBob bears no other liability or obligations for Excel and Bulk Uploads or Promotional / Volume Spikes. The Volume Agreement, as provided in this Section, shall apply to any Excel Upload orders or large spikes in volume above regular volume. For Orders subject to this Volume Agreement, Merchant will provide notice via the Promotional/Bulk Upload Details Google Form (“Google Form”). All Google Forms must be true and accurate. Merchants with inconsistent volume with frequent and infrequent spikes without prior notice to ShipBob create difficulty in predicting the labor required. Infrequent high volume makes it difficult for ShipBob 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:
  2. Promotional / Volume Spikes: If Order volume is expected to be greater than two (2) times the previous thirty (30) day average and the Order count is greater than 100 Orders on a particular day, then seventy-two (72) hour notice is required via the Google Form to maintain Services.
  3. Exception to Volume Agreement: If you do not provide seventy-two (72) hour notice of an Excel upload over 100 Orders, ShipBob will facilitate the fulfillment of those Orders according to the below schedule:
  4. ShipBob will facilitate the increase of labor on hand to fulfill large Order drops on the same day. In the event these large Order drops do not occur, ShipBob will charge a fee to help recoup the costs of unnecessary additional labor. Merchant may cancel a stated large order drop at no fee if they provide forty-eight (48) hour written notice.
  5. The following additional charges for Services shall apply to Excel and Bulk Uploads and Promotional/Volume Spikes:
    1. If at least 50% of stated order volume is placed, no charge and (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, with 150 Orders at $1.25 per Order).
Shippable Addresses.
1. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and deliverability of Order shipping addresses. ShipBob 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 ShipBob has no obligation to verify any shipping addresses provided by you.
2. If ShipBob provides an Order shipping estimate based on an address later discovered to be inaccurate or incomplete, you are solely responsible for any applicable address correction fees ShipBob incurs from the Carrier, any difference in Carrier 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. ShipBob also reserves the right to put the order on hold if addresses are not validated by the ShipBob system.
Service Level Agreement
ShipBob’s and SFN Providers’ SLAs for non-Excel upload and normal volume can be found at the following link: https://support.shipbob.com/s/article/ShipBob-s-turnaround-times-policies-and-SLAs. Additionally, ShipBob and SFN Provider SLAs are subject to increase during “Peak Season” (defined as the dates between and including Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve, but subject to change dependent upon Carriers) by email notification. In addition, ShipBob may pass through to you any additional surcharges charged by Carriers.
Delays or Non-Delivery by Third-Parties, including Carriers and SFN Providers.
Unless specifically excepted in a Volume Agreement or Warehousing and Fulfillment Pricing Agreement, ShipBob 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 and SFN Providers.
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.
Returns.
1. All non-Carrier related returns (international and domestic) must follow the Return Policy, which may be updated from time to time. Custom returns may be rejected and/or subject to additional fees.
2. You shall be solely responsible for any fees assessed by any Carrier or SFN Provider as a result of any shipments of Goods that are returned to ShipBob or an SFN Provider by the Carrier for any reason whatsoever.
3. ShipBob Is Not Liable for 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. ShipBob strives to work with you to circumvent international returns or abandoned inventory at your request; however, this is done only on a reasonable efforts basis and ShipBob reserves the right to charge you fees to the value of the original Carrier shipping cost, including all costs and expenses of returns. If a tariff is not available, ShipBob will either put orders on hold until tariff information is available or override the order with no liability to ShipBob.
Required Removals.
ShipBob or SFN Provider, as applicable, may, at its sole discretion, require you to remove unsuitable or unsellable Goods from its facility or an SFN Provider’s facility. ShipBob will notify you if it or an SFN Provider 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 THIRTY (30) DAYS OF RECEIVING A REQUIRED REMOVAL NOTICE, SHIPBOB OR THE SFN PROVIDER 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 SHIPBOB OR THE SFN PROVIDER IF YOU DO PROMPTLY REMOVE THE GOODS UPON SHIPBOB’S WRITTEN REQUEST.
Confidentiality.
You acknowledge that you may receive materials and information from ShipBob, SFN Providers, or Carriers that are considered by such entity to be proprietary and confidential, including information relating to the platform, Goods, volume, customers, pricing, procedures, processes, technical specifications, designs, computer code, software applications and related documentation, and technology. You agree that all such materials and information acquired or obtained by you hereunder shall be held in confidence, protected with the same degree of care that you employ for the protection of your own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature (not less than reasonable care), and you shall not reveal or disclose any such information without ShipBob’s prior written consent other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement. You shall not have any obligation, however, to preserve the confidentiality of any such materials and information to the limited extent that it: (a) is in the public domain or generally available to the public; (b) was in the possession of or disclosed to you prior to the date hereof, free of any obligation to keep the same confidential; (c) is lawfully acquired by you from a third party under no obligation of confidentiality to the other Party; or (d) is required to be disclosed by you under law or court order, provided, however, that you shall give prompt written notice thereof to ShipBob (where permitted by law). You agree and acknowledge that a monetary remedy for a breach of this Section may be inadequate and that such breach may cause ShipBob irrevocable harm. In the event of a breach, ShipBob will be entitled, without the posting of a bond and in addition to any monetary damage it may subsequently prove, to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions. This Section supersedes and supplants any and all prior agreements between the Parties regarding confidential information and/or confidentiality, including, but not limited to, any nondisclosure agreements executed between the Parties. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Force Majeure.
ShipBob 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 ShipBob’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 or of SFN Providers, 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 ShipBob, whether or not of the kind hereinabove specified and whether or not any such contingency is presently occurring or occurs in the future. ShipBob shall give notice of any force majeure event as soon as reasonably practicable by giving notice to your administrative email account.
Termination.
You have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, provided you do not have a balance due and owing (other than any amounts subject to a good faith dispute) by sending a termination request to [email protected] Subject to earlier termination as provided below, ShipBob may terminate, at its discretion and without cause, this Agreement (or our facilitation of the shipments of Goods or our Services hereunder) at any time by providing thirty (30) days prior notice to the administrative email address associated with your Account. In addition to any other remedies we may have, ShipBob may also terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ notice (or ten (10) days’ notice in the case of nonpayment) if you breach any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. The termination of this Agreement shall also constitute a termination of any Warehousing and Fulfillment Pricing Agreement or Volume Agreement. ShipBob reserves the right to immediately modify, suspend, or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) if you are in breach of this Agreement. All of Your Content (if any) may be permanently deleted by ShipBob upon any termination of your account in ShipBob’s sole discretion. However, all rights to payment and all other Sections which by their terms are intended to survive shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
1. The Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by ShipBob or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond our reasonable control. ShipBob shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by email of any Services disruption. ShipBob shall not be liable for any such unavailability or disruption of Services.
2. THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE SHIPBOB 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 SHIPBOB 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 SHIPBOB DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR VIRUS-FREE, NOR DOES SHIPBOB 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 SHIPBOB SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
3. ShipBob does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that any of its facilities or any of the facilities of SFN Providers will maintain any specific temperature ranges or humidity levels. ShipBob shall not be liable or responsible for fluctuations of temperature or humidity levels at any of its facilities or any of the facilities of SFN Providers.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
1. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN SFN PROVIDERS AND CARRIERS ARE IN POSSESSION OF YOUR GOODS, SFN PROVIDERS AND CARRIERS, AND NOT SHIPBOB, ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED HARMS SUSTAINED BY YOU OR YOUR GOODS AS DETERMINED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
2. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE) SHALL SHIPBOB 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, SHIPBOB 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.
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, SHIPBOB’s LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
4. Insurance, Damage and Loss of Goods:
  1. YOU AGREE THAT THE GOODS STORED OR WAREHOUSED BY SHIPBOB OR SFN PROVIDERS ARE NOT INSURED AGAINST LOSS OR DAMAGE BY SHIPBOB OR THE SFN PROVIDER. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR THE GOODS, AND 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 SHIPBOB IS OR MAYBE LEGALLY LIABLE, YOU AGREE THAT SHIPBOB’S OR SFN PROVIDER’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. SHIPBOB DOES NOT REPRESENT, WARRANT, OR GUARANTY THAT INSURANCE WILL COVER ALL OR A PORTION OF YOUR GOODS LOSS. SHIPBOB SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE IF INSURANCE COVERAGE IS NOT AFFORDED FOR THE GOODS LOSS OR IF COVERAGE IS DENIED. THE DECISION TO PURCHASE INSURANCE AND ITS EXPENSE IS YOURS ALONE. ALL SUCH INSURANCE IS PROVIDED BY THOSE THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE CARRIERS OR BROKERS YOU MAY SELECT. SHIPBOB DOES NOT AND WILL NOT SELL INSURANCE AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED AN INSURANCE PROVIDER.
  2. IN THE EVENT THAT SHIPBOB OR THE SFN PROVIDER IS FOUND LEGALLY LIABLE FOR HARMS SUSTAINED BY YOUR GOODS, YOU AGREE THAT SHIPBOB’S OR THE SFN PROVIDER’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR GOODS LOSS (INCLUDING LOSS FROM ANY GOODS COUNT INACCURACIES) WILL BE LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL PRODUCT VALUE OF THE GOODS, WHICH SHALL BE MEASURED BY THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE INVOICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER, SUBJECT TO A CAP OF 5% OF THE TOTAL PRODUCT VALUE OR ONE MONTH OF THE AVERAGE BILLABLE STORAGE, WHICHEVER IS LOWER (“GOODS DAMAGES CAP”).
  3. FOR GREATER COVERAGE, YOU MUST ADD INSURANCE IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS ON THE GOODS THAT YOU WISH TO BE 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.
  4. FOR GOODS THAT LOST OR DAMAGED BY A CARRIER, PLEASE SEE SHIPBOB’S LOST IN TRANSIT AND DAMAGE CLAIMS POLICY.
5. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. THE GOODS DAMAGE CAP SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SHIPBOB OR THE SFN PROVIDER 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).
6. IN ANY EVENT, SHIPBOB’S OR SFN PROVIDER’S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU, NOTWITHSTANDING THE NATURE OR GROUNDS FOR ALL CLAIMS, INCLUDING THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY SHIPBOB, OR SFN PROVIDER 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.
Indemnification.
You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ShipBob and SFN Providers from and against any claims, actions or demands, liabilities (including court costs and attorney’s fees), tax obligations, fines, and penalties, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses, arising or resulting from: (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) any of Your Content; (c) your negligence, fault, omissions, or willful misconduct; (d) your fraud or misrepresentation in connection with the Services or with your access, contribution to, or use of the Services; (e) any product liability claim arising from use of your Goods; or (f) your misuse of the Services (“Claims”). ShipBob shall provide notice to you of any Claim. ShipBob and SFN Providers reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any third-party Claims which are subject to indemnification under this Section. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting ShipBob’s or SFN Provider’s defense of such Claim. This indemnity shall include, without limitations, all Claims in tort, contract, by statute or otherwise, including Claims for personal injury (including death) and actual or tangible property damage.
U.S. Government Matters – Your Compliance with Trade Laws.
You may not remove or export from the United States or allow the export or re-export of Goods subject to this Agreement or anything related thereto, or any direct product thereof in violation of any restrictions, laws, or regulations of the United States Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other United States or foreign agency or authority. You represent and warrant that you and your financial institution are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties or owned or controlled by such a party, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the US Government (e.g., the US Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals list and Foreign Sanctions Evaders list and the US Department of Commerce’s Entity List), the European Union or its member states, or other applicable government authority. As defined in FAR section 2.101, the software and documentation installed by ShipBob on your Equipment (if applicable) are “commercial items” and according to DFAR section 252.227 7014(a)(1) and (5) are deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation.” Consistent with DFAR section 227.7202 and FAR section 12.212, any use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of such commercial software or commercial software documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and will be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement is binding upon, and will inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.
Miscellaneous.
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect, and enforceable. Both parties agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications, representations, and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all waivers and modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement (or a Volume Agreement or Warehousing and Fulfillment Pricing Agreement), the terms of this Agreement shall take precedence over any contrary or conflicting terms in any other agreement. The failure of ShipBob to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not be a waiver of that right. You acknowledge that this Agreement is a contract between you and ShipBob, even though it is electronic and is not physically signed by you and ShipBob, and it governs your use of the Services. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind ShipBob in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement or otherwise, the substantially prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees. All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or email; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
