6.2. Discrepancies
Quotations for Shipping Fees by Easyship are based on the information provided by you, including, but not limited to, sender’s address, receiver’s address, weight, dimensions, and value of the items. In the event a shipping label is generated using a Easyship Courier Account and there is a discrepancy between the Shipping Fees charged by Easyship at the moment the User purchases a shipping label and the costs for the Shipment charged by Couriers to Easyship due to incorrect information that you provided, including, but not limited to, incorrect weight, dimensions, value of the item(s), addresses, declaration of residential address, or any other information critical to estimate Shipping Fees, you will be responsible for such discrepancy amount (“Shipping Fees Discrepancies“ or “Adjustments“).

6.3. Account Balance
You must keep at least one valid payment method (“Authorized Payment Method“) on file with us to pay for all incurred and recurring Fees and to transfer funds to your Easyship Account (“Account Balance“). As Fees are incurred, any such amount will be deducted from your Account Balance and charged to your Authorized Payment Method.
Subscription Fees are paid in advance and will be billed monthly (each such date, a “Billing Date“). You will be charged on each Billing Date for all outstanding Subscription Fees that have not previously been paid. Fees will appear on an invoice, which will be sent to the User via the email provided. As well, an invoice will appear on the billing section of your Easyship Account.
Shipping Fees, Insurance Fees and Additional Fees are billed at the moment a shipping label is generated, therefore the Services shall be considered as “pre-paid“. Shipping Fees are subject to change as set out in Section 6.3 herein. In order to access our Services.
Users must maintain a minimum Account Balance in the amount of CA$ 0 in the Easyship Account at all times. In the event that the Account Balance becomes negative, meaning lower than 0, you authorize Easyship to instantly charge the due Fees to any Authorized Payment Method, and Easyship will continue to charge the Authorized Payment Method for applicable Fees until all outstanding Fees have been paid in full.
If we are not able to charge one of your Authorized Payment Methods we may try to charge any of the other Authorized Payment Methods saved on Easyship. In case we are not able to collect the outstanding Fees we may suspend and revoke access to your Account and the Services. Your Account will be reactivated upon your payment of any outstanding Fees, plus the Fees applicable to your next billing cycle. You may not be able to access your Account during any period of suspension at which point you will be required to contact our support team at https://support.easyship.com. If the outstanding Fees remain unpaid for ten (10) days following the date of suspension, you agree to deposit funds into your Easyship Account using another payment method and update the Authorized Payment Method.
6.4. Currency fluctuations and exchange rates
Easyship reserves the right to adjust its pricing in response to currency fluctuations, including, but not limited to, currency conversion rate changes, conversion fee changes, and/or discount rate changes.

In addition to any other remedies we may have, Easyship may also terminate these Terms of Service upon thirty (30) days’ notice (or ten (10) days in the case of non-payment), if you breach any of the Terms of Service or conditions of these Terms of Service. Also, Easyship reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof). Except as provided above, upon any termination of your account, Easyship may store all of Your Content on the Services (if any), or it may be permanently deleted by Easyship, in its sole discretion. Easyship will reimburse the balance within ninety (90) Days.
Please note, while disagreements sometimes arise, Easyship wants to address any complaint with the Services in a proactive manner. Please log a support case for resolution, you can send an email to [email protected]. If you feel an escalation is merited, please email [email protected] regarding your unresolved case and your concern. For purposes of clarity, this does not waive the notice requirement set forth below.
