I. TERMS OF SERVICE

WS1 will provide Member with a suite number at the WS1 facility located in the United States at which Member can have mail and/or merchandise delivered prior to export.
1. WS1' services consist of acting as an agent of Member for consolidation and export purposes by receiving Member's merchandise, which will be sorted, packed, and consolidated. At Member's direction, WS1 arranges for export to the Member's specified local address by a service provider, which acts as the freight forwarder and/or carrier for the shipment. WS1 does not act as an indirect air carrier of property, but rather acts as an agent of the shipper (i.e., Members). All packages received by WS1 will be opened by representatives of the company. Members are responsible for all import obligations in the country to which all mail (for a Premium+Mail Member only) and packages will be sent. Members also authorize WS1 as its agent to authorize freight forwarder and/or carriers to conduct customs clearance and entry and to certify freight forwarder and/or carriers as the consignee solely for the purpose of designating a customs broker to perform customs clearance and entry.
2. Members accept that freight forwarders and/or carriers reserve the right to open and/or inspect every shipment tendered to forwarders and/or carriers on behalf of a Member.
For Premium+Mail Members, WS1 will also receive Member's mail (i.e., letters, catalogs, and newspapers), however, WS1 cannot hold or store mail that will not fit into a 4 inch-tall mailbox. WS1 will notify Member via e-mail once his/her mailbox is full, and Member will have five (5) days to either (a) request shipment of the mail or (b) request that WS1 discard the mail. If no reply is received from the Member, it is deemed that Member is directing WS1 to send the mail to Member's address on record through a freight forwarder or carrier. Any charges generated directly from this activity, including taxes, customs duties, and service charges (including any charges that may be established in the future) will be the sole responsibility of Member in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
Member authorizes WS1 to charge his/her payment method for all services and/or account activity with WS1. Such charges may include but are not limited to membership dues, shipping and handling charges, customs duties, return/reroute fees, storage charges, late charges, and any optional services. Failure to provide payment for services rendered at the time of service may result in late charges, stop shipment charges, suspension of service, cancellation of membership, and involuntary return or the discarding of any remaining merchandise.
If a Member's payment method is by credit card, and if such Member has an outstanding invoice or invoices, Member authorizes WS1 to charge his/her credit card for the aggregate amount of such outstanding invoice or invoices in one or more credit card transactions. By way of example, if a Member has an outstanding invoice(s) of $3,000 in the aggregate, the Company may either charge Member's credit card (i) one time for $3,000, (ii) three times for $1,000 each, or (iii) any other combination that in the aggregate equals $3,000.
Shipping costs are based on the weight and dimensions of Member's shipments. Shipping costs will be charged according to the actual weight or dimensional weight, whichever is greater.
Member may receive an account credit in Member's WS1 account issued by the WS1 Customer Service Team. Account credits may only be redeemed towards eligible services purchased under Member's WS1 account. Member will have a period of twelve (12) months from the date the account credit is received in Member's WS1 account to use the account credit. In the event Member does not use the account credit in the twelve (12) month period, the account credit will be automatically forfeited by Member upon expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Account credit is not redeemable for cash and cannot be transferred to any other Member account or third party. WS1 reserves the right to apply Member's account credit towards Member's delinquent account charges.
WS1 will allow active Premium and Premium+Mail Members to store their merchandise for up to thirty (30) days at no charge. WS1 will allow active Basic Members to store their merchandise for up to five (5) days at no charge. After thirty (30) days for Premium and Premium+Mail Members, or after five (5) days for Basic Members, Member agrees to pay storage charges per box per day, consistent with WS1' current schedule of fees. All Members, regardless of membership type, agree to ship their merchandise within sixty (60) days of merchandise arriving to their WS1 suite.
1. Where merchandise remains in a Member's suite for more than sixty (60) days (e.g., 61 days or greater), Member authorizes and directs WS1, at WS1' discretion, to ship such merchandise to Member's current shipping address. Where a Member owes money on their WS1 account or Member's payment method will not process appropriately, Member's merchandise will remain on hold, accruing storage, and Member authorizes and directs WS1, at WS1' discretion, to retry payment processing one (1) calendar week later, on day 67. If that attempt is not successful, Member's merchandise will remain on hold, accruing storage, and Member authorizes and directs WS1 to retry payment processing one (1) calendar week later, on day 74. If the third attempt to process payment is not successful, Member acknowledges and agrees that the merchandise is no longer considered shippable nor storable and will be forfeited by Member to WS1 in order to be sold, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of in a legal and environmentally compliant manner. WS1 reserves the right to amend this policy in practice as appropriate and necessary to WS1' business operations.
Prohibited or restricted merchandise is not storable and, at the discretion of WS1, will be rejected, forfeited (and sold), destroyed, or provided to government officials.
Claims for lost or damaged merchandise must be filed within the published time limits of the particular carrier. Claims are considered filed when a fully completed claim form, photograph(s), and supporting documentation, including receipts, are received by WS1. Claims are reviewed individually and the review process will take a minimum of eight (8) weeks. Specific commodities, including televisions, computers, electronics, jewelry, figurines, furniture and lighting have limits of liability in case of loss or damage regardless of the declared value or enhanced liability protection. Any liability for damage or loss caused after delivery to WS1 is limited to the lesser of (i) the declared value, (ii) proof of purchase price, or (iii) the specific commodity liability limit. WS1 does not and will not assume liability for damage or loss to any merchandise caused before delivery to WS1 or by prepackage by manufacturer. Failure to file a completed claim within the carrier time limit will invalidate the claim.
In addition to WS1' standard limitation of liability above, Members may purchase enhanced liability protection against risk of physical shipment loss or damage. A fee of US $3.50 will be applied for every US $100 of value. The enhanced liability is subject to the terms and conditions of the particular carrier's airway bill(s). All claims are reviewed individually, and any claim payment will be based on the declared value.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, THE MAXIMUM ENHANCED LIABILITY VALUE ON ANY SHIPMENT ACCEPTED BY WS1 IS TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS (US$10,000.00) AND IN NO EVENT WILL THE LIABILITY OF WS1 EXCEED THAT AMOUNT.
WS1 will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind or any loss of profit, reputation, income, interest, opportunity, contract or bargain.
Either party may cancel these Terms and Conditions with written notice (via email, fax, letter, or, to the extent provided by WS1, online). Upon cancellation, Members may be entitled to receive a prorated refund on the unused portion of their annual membership charge. Annual membership refunds are based on the monthly membership usage rate for a Premium+Mail Membership and a Premium Membership listed in WS1' current schedule of fees. Refunds will be processed within ten (10) business days of cancellation.
Each Member, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any amounts owed to WS1 by such Member, whether under these Terms and Conditions or otherwise (the "Secured Obligations"), hereby mortgages, pledges and hypothecates to WS1 and grants to WS1 a lien on and security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under any and all packages shipped under Member's account to WS1 .
If a Member's account charges become delinquent for more than thirty (30) days, WS1 may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in these Terms and Conditions and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, WS1 may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon a Member or any other person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by law), during the continuance of any account delinquency (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (a) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any such parcels and (b) sell, assign, convey, transfer, grant option or options to purchase and deliver any such packages, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of WS1 or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, in each case, subject to applicable non-waivable laws. WS1 shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of such packages so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of a Member, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.
Title to any items that cannot be exported after arrival at the WS1 facility will be forfeited by Member. WS1 will have the option of returning all such forfeited packages/mail to the sender(s) and/or of discarding the items, including by (a) selling any items not returned to the seller, (b) destroying such items, or (c) providing such items to a government official.
Member agrees and acknowledges that he/she shall purchase any and all merchandise from sellers in a manner that (a) transfers title to Member prior to the time that the merchandise is received at the WS1 warehouse and (b) in accordance with risk of loss terms that provide either that the buyer or Member bears the full costs and risks of moving the goods from the buyer's location to the WS1 warehouse.
Monthly membership charges and setup charges are non-refundable.
If a Member's account charges become delinquent for more than thirty (30) days, WS1 may, at its sole discretion, cancel Member's membership, process all packages and mail by returning the same to the sender, or discarding all packages and mail. Member forfeits all claims to items abandoned in his/her mailbox once the membership is cancelled.
Monthly and annual memberships are automatically renewed unless Member advises WS1 in writing that he/she wishes not to renew his/her membership.
There is no membership fee for a Basic Account. Charges of a Basic Account are incurred only for initial set up, processing, shipping, and other shipping-related services.
Each package received by WS1 with an incomplete, incorrect, or old address that can be associated with a Member will be assessed a charge consistent with WS1' current schedule of fees. Members should ensure that all merchants and sellers mark all packages with the complete and accurate address, including Member's unique suite number that has been assigned for consolidation purposes. All packages received with incomplete, incorrect, or old addresses that cannot be associated with a Member will be returned to the sender or discarded.
All invoices past due for more than thirty (30) days will be assessed a flat fee plus a percentage per month late charge consistent with WS1' current schedule of fees. Personal Shopper orders past due for more than fifteen (15) days will be assessed a flat fee plus a percentage per month late charge, consistent with WS1' current schedule of fees, for each fifteen (15) day period that an order remains past due.
Member's WS1 suite number is to be used only for package consolidation purposes.Member will not represent that its WS1 suite number is its address for any purpose other than as the address to which packages may be delivered prior to export, including, but not limited to, representing that its WS1 suite number is the address of Member's place of business or residence.Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the cancellation of Member's WS1 account.
Member is solely responsible for complying with any terms and conditions of sale that may be imposed by the seller of the merchandise. Member acknowledges that WS1 is not responsible for any action taken by the seller with respect to Member's order as a result of the seller's terms and conditions of sale.
Member also is responsible for informing the seller that any merchandise purchased and sent to WS1' facility ultimately will be exported out of the United States. Additional information is provided in Subsection III.D ("Compliance with the Foreign Trade Regulations") below. It ultimately is the responsibility of Member to ensure that the seller provides the export classification of the merchandise and determines if any export licenses are required for the merchandise. Member must ensure that merchandise requiring an export license, or that is otherwise controlled for export, is not shipped to WS1 by the seller.
