APPENDIX A – Additional Terms Related to The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services

This Appendix A to the The Collect Group Limited Terms of Service (“Terms”) is applicable for all The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services users. If there is a conflict between the Terms and Appendix A, the terms of Appendix A shall control. All defined terms not herein defined are defined in Terms.

The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services will allow you to maintain an account balance with The Collect Group Limited, such that The Collect Group Limited on your behalf can make payment for various carriers and services, using rates provided to The Collect Group Limited by the carriers or partners of The Collect Group Limited. You hereby authorise The Collect Group Limited to maintain a carrier account for you that will only be valid on The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services platform and will not be portable or transferable outside The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services, unless allowed by The Collect Group Limited and the individual carrier, at their sole discretion. Prior to accessing each carrier through The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services, you must accept any terms and conditions required by such carrier for their services. You are not required to accept accounts from each carrier offered by The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services, as you will be able to opt out of any carriers that you do not intend to use, or for which you have a pre-existing relationship. You may use your own account number, not created through a relationship with The Collect Group Limited, within The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services upon payment of the applicable subscription fee. Notwithstanding anything in this Appendix A to the contrary, all applicable carrier rules and terms shall be applicable for the services provided and The Collect Group Limited accepts no liability or responsibility for the failure of delivery or failure of the services of any carrier.

1. YOUR COLLECT GROUP LIMITED ACCOUNT

You must pay for any variable transactional fees including, among other things, app subscription fees, shipping, duties and fees, and package insurance purchased in addition to any applicable service fee. To use The Collect Group Limited for any mailing and shipping services, you must pre-fund your The Collect Group Limited account in an amount equal to or greater than the mailing or shipping service to be purchased or be approved for credit terms which will become payable weekly via Direct Debit. All purchases, debits and adjustments will be reflected in your The Collect Group Limited account balance and in the case of credit terms – via your weekly invoice(s). Please note that your The Collect Group Limited account is managed by The Collect Group Limited and although our records will account for the amounts that you have posted, the funds are maintained in a pooled account. In the event of any losses, failure or other insolvency of the bank used, The Collect Group Limited may be afforded insurance on the account, (individual account holders are not entitled to such insurance) and The Collect Group Limited may then allocate any insurance proceeds for all account holders; however, you may not be entitled to receive a refund of all amounts posted with The Collect Group Limited. In the event of any failure or insolvency of The Collect Group Limited, because the amounts held in your The Collect Group Limited account are not insured, they may not be fully refunded.

The Collect Group Limited account will be used to fund purchases by users of The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services including postage and shipping charges from carriers. 

You acknowledge and agree that The Collect Group Limited controls all mailing and shipping transaction pricing through The Collect Group Limited user account. The Collect Group Limited business partners, including mailing and shipping carriers, consolidators, resellers, wholesalers, among others, provide certain rates that may be made available through The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services by The Collect Group Limited in its sole and absolute discretion.

We do not always provide the lowest rates that may be available for your transaction, as rates are dependent on the service you choose and a variety of factors driven by your actions in using our software and by decisions from The Collect Group Limited and other business partners of The Collect Group Limited. You agree to the rate provided and displayed at the time of the transaction, as that amount may fluctuate. No refunds shall be applicable to transactions that could have been obtained at a less expensive rate, unless the transaction qualifies for a refund as provided for elsewhere in our terms.

In addition, you agree to not offer, sell or allow the use of the rates provided to you through The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services, or shipping labels created using the rates provided to you through The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services , to any other entity or party without our express written consent.

2. ACCOUNT FUNDING

To use your account for mailing and shipping transactions and other extra services, you must pre-fund your The Collect Group Limited user account in an amount equal to or greater than the funds needed for your recurring service fee and the mailing or shipping transaction to be purchased. All purchases and debits will be reflected in your The Collect Group Limited user account once the transaction clears. Clearance times vary by financial institution. You are allowed to print or create labels up to the amount of pre-funding in your account, as long as all service fees have been paid. As a The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services user, you may also be charged a preset ‘top up’ amount each time the balance available in The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services is not sufficient to pay for the transaction you request. The minimum preset amount is £10 and the maximum is £500. Higher auto pre-funding amounts may be set within the The Collect Group Limited Site. If credit terms are agreed – you must maintain a clear account balance in line with the invoice terms to continue use of our service.

If any service fee payment cannot be completed successfully, your account will be suspended until payment is made. You will be notified that your service has been temporarily suspended until all past balances have been paid. You may reload your account as often as you like so long as you do not exceed the maximum balance on your account. Auto-funding your account may also be permitted. The minimum purchase (to fund your account) and the maximum purchase, if any, varies by service program.

If your account balance becomes negative, you authorise The Collect Group Limited to automatically charge your payment method or seek reimbursement so that the account balance is no longer a negative number (to cover previously selected mailing and shipping transactions or other requested purchases with The Collect Group Limited). This charge may apply whether you are a current, active, The Collect Group Limited customer, or whether you have already cancelled your account.

3. COST ADJUSTMENT TRANSACTIONS

If you conduct a transaction with The Collect Group Limited Carrier Services that is paid only when the label is used or if it is determined by The Collect Group Limited or a carrier partner of The Collect Group Limited that a mailing or shipping transaction did not contain sufficient funds (for example, not enough postage to cover a shipment due to an underreporting of weigh, length or volume), The Collect Group Limited may automatically deduct the amount for the unpaid or short-paid transaction from your account balance. The Collect Group Limited also has the right, in its sole discretion, to make adjustments for surcharges, duties and fees determined by the carriers or the country shipped to. You will be able to review these adjustments in your account history and reports. If one or more of these payments cannot be collected from your account due to a lack of available funds, in our complete discretion, we may either, (i) charge the method of payment on file for the shortfall or (ii) your account may be suspended until you fund your account to cover all outstanding payments.

4. CREDIT FOR UNUSED SHIPPING LABELS

You may delete unused labels from the software prior to the date of weekly invoice if your account allows credit terms – and for ‘Boost’ account services only. For credit term and pre-paid accounts, where labels are created via any API source – any labels created are binding and final. No refunds will be given.

TIME LIMIT: You must delete any labels for Boost account services prior to 11:59PM GMT Sunday to avoid billing for labels that are unused. Any failure to complete the deletion of any label prior to this time will result in a charge being applied to your weekly invoice.

SCAN DATA ON DELETED LABELS: All transactions are closely monitored by The Collect Group Limited. Any labels which are initially deleted and then later scanned through the parcel network will be charged at the rate as at the time of initial network scan. All charges will be accompanied by a logged ‘tracking ID’ for completeness of claim and will be either deducted from your account balance (in the case of pre-pay) or added to your next weekly invoice (where credit terms have been extended).

5. PAY-ON-USE SHIPPING LABELS:

The Collect Group Limited do not offer ‘pay-on-use’ shipping labels. All labels are billed upon printing (not on network or carrier scan)

Termination: Even after your account is terminated (by you or The Collect Group Limited), you must still pay for any Pay-On-Use labels that are scanned before the labels’ expiration dates.

6. CARRIER AND PARTNER TERMS

You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of each carrier and partner accessed through the The Collect Group Limited platform, and must accept such terms and conditions prior to using such carrier’s or partner’s services. Please note that each carrier and partner may change their terms and conditions within their sole discretion, and we strongly suggest that you visit each carrier’s and partner’s website regularly, to familiarise yourself with each company’s individual terms and conditions, as well as any potential changes, prior to using each service.

Where you opt for a no signature or Non-POD (proof of delivery) service, the carrier may deliver by leaving a consignment in a safe place. Delivery is deemed to have taken place when the consignment has been left in the safe place. The Collect Group Limited shall have no liability for loss or damage occurring before, during or after delivery of any goods.

7. SURCHARGES FROM CARRIERS

The Collect Group Limited reserves the right to pass on surcharges in connection to provision of services or where it is deemed appropriate to recover costs associated with operational, national, international or industry-wide situations. 

Surcharges may be levied by the carrier(s) where there are discrepancies between the data provided at the time of label creation and the scan information received during transit through the carrier(s) network. All surcharges are payable in line with this agreement and further use of the services is subject to payment of the same.

SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES

In addition to the The Collect Group Limited Terms of Service (as may be amended, the “Terms”) applicable to the Site, Software and Services generally, the following terms and conditions (these “Supplemental Terms”) apply to your access to and use of the additional features and Services described in these Supplemental Terms (the “Additional Services”). By placing an order for an Additional Service; clicking to accept these Supplemental Terms; or using, enabling, or accessing an Additional Service, you agree to and consent to these Supplemental Terms, which shall become a part of the Terms. If there is a conflict between the Terms and these Supplemental Terms, these Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to your use of the applicable Additional Service. All defined terms not herein defined are defined in Terms.

If you do not agree to be bound by (or cannot comply with) these Supplemental Terms, you agree that your sole remedy is to cease using the applicable Additional Service. Your continued use of an Additional Service constitutes your agreement to be bound by these Supplemental Terms with respect to such Additional Service, including any modifications, amendments, or supplements hereto.

1. GENERAL TERMS FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES

1.1 Licence. Subject to these Supplemental Terms and the Terms, The Collect Group Limited grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to access and use the applicable Additional Service through your The Collect Group Limited account.

1.2 Eligible The Collect Group Limited Accounts. Access and use of the Additional Service requires that you have an active and valid The Collect Group Limited account. The Collect Group Limited may require you to upgrade the service plan for your The Collect Group Limited account to be eligible to access or use an Additional Service. “Free trial” or other promotional accounts are not eligible to access or use an Additional Service; if your The Collect Group Limited account is still in a “free trial” or promotional period, your The Collect Group Limited account will be converted automatically to the service plan set forth in your offer for the applicable Additional Service. By enabling, accessing, or using an Additional Service, you authorise The Collect Group Limited to upgrade or convert your The Collect Group Limited account to the service plan set forth in your offer for such Additional Service and you agree to the terms and conditions of such service plan, including the applicable recurring service fee, which will be billed in accordance with the Terms.

1.3 Termination. The Collect Group Limited reserves the right to terminate your access to an Additional Service at any time. You may terminate an Additional Service in the manner described in the terms for such Additional Service below. Termination of your underlying The Collect Group Limited account will automatically terminate your ability to access or use Additional Services. However, termination of an Additional Service by itself will not terminate your underlying The Collect Group Limited account or any other Services provided to you by The Collect Group Limited, and in such case, you will continue to be billed, and will pay for, the Services (other than the terminated Additional Service). Provisions of these Supplemental Terms which by their nature should survive termination or expiration to be given full effect, will survive such termination or expiration of these Supplemental Terms. Following any termination or expiration of an Additional Service, The Collect Group Limited may maintain certain account settings and information for a period of time in the event of re-activation. The period of time The Collect Group Limited maintains such information shall be in the sole discretion of The Collect Group Limited.
