1. SERVICE PRICING

BlippShip, LLC. offers multiple types of service plans — including, without limitation, monthly service plans. Your monthly service fee, if any, will be calculated based on the service plan presented to you and agreed to by you during service registration, or any subsequent plan changes made by you during your ongoing usage of the service. In addition, you are responsible for all variable and transactional costs of using the service (including but not limited to: postage, fees for carrier services, package insurance, items purchased in the online store, direct and indirect costs of third-party service providers and carriers, transaction fees charged directly by BlippShip, LLC. for shipping or other services, or other special services selected, such as on-demand consulting and technical support) in addition to your applicable service fee, if any. The total shipping fees quoted may include third party carrier fees and fees charged directly by BlippShip, LLC., which will not be separately delineated from the overall charge. Rates for services charged will be based on the rates that are available for your account and may be updated by BlippShip, LLC. at its sole discretion. BlippShip, LLC. may, at its discretion, offer substitute services for any selected services, with substantially the same or improved service levels.

Your recurring service fee, if any, will be calculated and billed based on the date you register and the terms of your offer. Each monthly billing cycle ends each month after you register; for example, if you register on March 8, and you are provided a free trial offer, the first billing cycle will begin April 8, and the second billing cycle will begin on May 8. BlippShip, LLC. bills in advance (i.e., at the beginning of the applicable billing cycle), if you cancel in the middle of a billing cycle you will not be refunded for your service fees and your account will remain available for usage for the full month of cancellation.

If you register for a free offer but wish to avoid incurring the monthly service fee, make sure to cancel your account before the free period ends. To cancel, call BlippShip, LLC. customer support at 708-963-8534 Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Central Time or do so online.

Downgrading your plan: You can downgrade (if applicable) your BlippShip, LLC. plan at any time. Monthly services are billed in advance, the change in plan type will go into effect on the last day of your current billing period. BlippShip, LLC. does not auto-downgrade accounts based on shifts in volume.

2. ACCOUNT SERVICES AND DURATION

BlippShip, LLC. reserves the right to cancel your account for lack of use, lack of payment, or breach of these Terms.

Following any account cancelation, BlippShip, LLC. may maintain certain account settings and information for a period of time in the event of account re-activation. The period of time BlippShip, LLC. maintains account information shall be in the sole discretion of BlippShip, LLC..

Accounts are automatically renewed for the same time period you originally signed up for unless otherwise cancelled.

3. ACCOUNT CANCELLATION/TERMINATION

You may terminate or close your account at any time by the methods set forth in the “Service Pricing” section above. However, depending on the service plan you selected, certain restrictions or fees may apply, as detailed below. You will be asked to verify your account information and confirm your intent to cancel your account.

Monthly Service Plan: You are free to end your monthly service plan at any time.

4. FREE TRIAL OFFER TERMS

If you select to sign up for BlippShip, LLC.’s “free trial”, then you will not be charged a service fee for the period of the free trial offer; but you will be responsible for postage, fees for private carriers, package insurance, or other special services selected. If you remain a customer beyond the free trial period, your account will automatically be converted to a monthly service account that does charge the applicable service fees.

5. METHOD OF PAYMENT

BlippShip, LLC. currently accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Certain users will be approved to set up an automated debit from your bank savings or checking account. Acceptable payment methods are subject to change at any time.

The billing entity for part or all of the services provided by BlippShip, LLC. may be that of a subsidiary, affiliate, or partner organization of BlippShip, LLC. and you hereby consent to any such billing, including changes to the billing entity from time to time.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATION; AND CLASS WAIVER

You and BlippShip, LLC. agree that, except as provided below regarding small claims court proceedings, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to BlippShip, LLC. services, Site, your account(s), offers, user interfaces, our Privacy Policy or our privacy practices generally, these BlippShip, LLC. Terms, and this “Agreement to Arbitrate,” shall be determined by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PROVISION, AND THAT YOU AND BLIPPSHIP, LLC. ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your BlippShip, LLC. account(s).

Pre-Filing Mediation: In the event of a dispute, prior to initiating an arbitration, the party asserting the claim must first send to the other, by certified mail with return receipt requested (or any successor service), a written Notice of claim (“Notice”). If you are the claimant, the Notice to BlippShip, LLC. must be addressed to BlippShip, LLC. / Dispute Resolution, 15938 S. Arbor Dr. Plainfield, IL 60586, with a cc to Legal Department – Dispute Resolution, BlippShip, LLC. If BlippShip, LLC. is the claimant, the Notice must be addressed to the address used for your account. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. Following receipt of the Notice, each party agrees to negotiate with the other in good faith about the claim. If the claim is not resolved to the satisfaction of the claimant within sixty (60) days after Notice is provided, the claimant may pursue the claim in arbitration or file a claim in small claims court.

16. ADDITIONAL ARBITRATION PROVISIONS

Settlement Offers: During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by BlippShip, LLC. or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

Initiating A Claim: The form required to initiate an arbitration can be printed or downloaded from www.adr.org. Alternatively, you can contact the arbitration administrator by calling 800-778-7879.

Fees for Initiating Arbitration: If you are required to pay a filing fee to initiate arbitration after BlippShip, LLC. receives notice of the initiation of arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee at the address we have for you on file (or the address provided in the Notice), unless your claim is for greater than US $10,000.

Applicable Rules; Administrator: The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by the requirements of this section of the Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

Location of Hearing: Unless BlippShip, LLC. and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of Will County, IL. If your claim is for USD $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds USD $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Award Enhancement: If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of BlippShip, LLC.’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if BlippShip, LLC. did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then BlippShip, LLC. will pay you the amount of the award or USD $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

Class Waiver: YOU AND BLIPPSHIP, LLC. AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and BlippShip, LLC. agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one party, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable as applied to any claim asserted by you, then the entirety of the arbitration provision set forth in this section shall be null and void.

Injunctive Relief Limitation: The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

Small Claims Procedure Alternative: Notwithstanding the foregoing binding arbitration procedure, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court (provided the claim otherwise qualifies for such program) as an alternative to proceeding with arbitration.
