10.1 Overview

ReturnZap Shipping is an optional feature of the Service that allows Clients to generate and purchase shipping labels directly within the ReturnZap platform. By enabling ReturnZap Shipping in your account or through any related dashboard or setting, you agree to be bound by this Section 10 in addition to the rest of these Terms.

ReturnZap acts solely as a facilitator and reseller of shipping labels provided through third-party carrier networks. ReturnZap is not a carrier, freight forwarder, or insurer, and does not handle, transport, or store any parcels.

10.2 Wallet Funding and Currencies

To use ReturnZap Shipping, you must maintain a pre-funded wallet within the Service (“Wallet”). All label purchases, carrier fees, and adjustments are deducted from this Wallet at the time of transaction.

Wallet balances may be funded in USD, GBP, or EUR. When funding or refunding in a different currency, applicable conversion and foreign-exchange processing fees may apply. Exchange rates are determined by ReturnZap’s payment processor or banking partner at the time of the transaction.

You may request a refund of any unused Wallet balance at any time. Refunds will be processed in the currency originally funded, subject to reasonable verification and processing time.

Insufficient Balance & Offsets. If the Wallet balance is insufficient to cover any fee or post-shipment adjustment, you authorize ReturnZap to (a) charge any payment method on file, (b) invoice you for the shortfall, and/or (c) set off amounts you owe against any credits or refunds otherwise payable to you.

10.3 Label Purchases and Fees

Shipping label prices shown within ReturnZap Shipping represent the total amount payable, inclusive of any service fees or mark-ups applied by ReturnZap. All fees are due and payable at the time the label is purchased.

Labels are provided for the Client’s internal business use only and may not be resold or transferred outside of the ReturnZap Service.

10.4 Insurance

Optional shipping insurance is available for eligible shipments at the time of label purchase. Coverage, exclusions, documentation, limits, and claim deadlines are governed solely by the insurance provider’s policy terms.

ReturnZap’s role is administrative; approval and payment of any claim are determined by the insurer.Claims for loss or damage must be submitted through ReturnZap within the time limits and with the documentation required by the insurance provider.

Clients who do not purchase insurance accept full responsibility for any loss, damage, or delay once the package has been tendered to the carrier.

10.5 Customs and Compliance

For international shipments, you are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all customs data, including item descriptions, values, and harmonized codes. ReturnZap may transmit this information electronically where supported but does not verify or certify its accuracy.

Export Controls & Sanctions. You represent and warrant that you, your shipments, recipients, and end uses comply with all applicable export control, sanctions, and trade laws (including U.S. OFAC restrictions). ReturnZap may refuse, suspend, or cancel shipments or services where a shipment, recipient, destination, or end use appears restricted or prohibited.

ReturnZap will not be liable for customs delays, assessments, or confiscations resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information or regulatory reviews.

10.6 Prohibited Shipments

You may not use ReturnZap Shipping to ship items prohibited by law or by the relevant carrier, including but not limited to hazardous materials, counterfeit goods, or restricted commodities.

Responsibility for Charges. You are responsible for all charges associated with purchased labels, including postage, carrier surcharges, adjustments, penalties, taxes, audit or discrepancy fees, and any other carrier-assessed amounts.

Post-Shipment Audits & USPS APV. Carriers may conduct post-shipment audits (e.g., weight, dimensions, address, zone) and assess under- or over-payment adjustments and processing fees (including programs such as USPS Automated Package Verification). Such amounts may be automatically debited from your Wallet without prior notice.

You may dispute a charge or adjustment by contacting ReturnZap Support within 30 days of the transaction date. Refunds for unused Wallet balances are available upon request in accordance with Section 10.2.

10.8 Liability and Limitations

ReturnZap is not responsible for any shipment once it has been accepted by the carrier. Delivery times, performance, and outcomes are governed solely by the carrier’s own terms and conditions.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ReturnZap’s total liability arising out of or related to ReturnZap Shipping shall not exceed the total amount paid for the specific shipping label that gave rise to the claim.ReturnZap shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including loss of goods, profits, or data.
