The API may be hosted using a server installed at the user’s place of business (“on-premise”).  Alternately, the API can be accessed directly on the web (“cloud”).

Your Relationship with Carriers (e.g., USPS, UPS, DHL, FedEx)

 

IB is a unified gateway to access a variety of package Carriers for domestic and international shipments. The Carriers are responsible for the pickup, transport, and delivery of the package — NOT IB. Accordingly, you agree that IB will have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of any Carrier or other third party or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting in any manner from your interactions with any Carrier.

 

You agree to adhere by the terms or conditions of purchase imposed by any Carrier with whom you elect to deal. The circumvention of a Carrier’s rules is prohibited. The use of prohibited practices may result in the termination of your account on the Services, the Carrier taking actions including the cancellation of a service order, denied delivery, additional charges to your credit card, additional charges collected at the delivery or collection, or future invoicing.

 

If there is a dispute between a IB account holder and Carriers or any other third party, you agree that IB is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release IB, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services.

 

If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 

Billing and Payments

 

Depending on the carrier(s) used, payment may or may not be required for IB’s services.  In some cases, (e.g. USPS), the user will open a CAPS (Corporate Account Payment System) account directly with the USPS.  The user will be responsible for funding this account in ways approved by the USPS, and these funds will be used for all postage expenditures.

 

Depending upon your package volume, the Carrier and your contract with the Carrier, your service fees to IB may or may not be waived.

If a IB service fee is required, payment types include PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover/Novus, Diner’s Club International, and Carte Blanche.  Your credit card and/or PayPal credentials are not known or stored by IB, rather secure collection and storage of said credentials is managed by BrainTree, Inc., a division of PayPal.

 

Change in Billing, Prices, Promotions and Policies

 

IB may change billing procedures, prices, promotions and/or policies at any time without advance notice. All such changes will be posted on the IB website, and emailed to existing active account holders and customers. Continued use of the IB website and/or service constitutes their affirmation that they have read and understood such notices and agree to the terms contained therein.
