These Terms and Conditions, and any documents referred to in them, set out the terms on which you may use our website, ShipSimple (www.shipsimple.ca) (our website). By using our website, you agree to be bound by, and to comply with, these Terms and Conditions.
These Terms and Conditions are effective from January 1, 2025.
PLEASE READ THE PRIVACY POLICY AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE USING THIS SITE. BY CONTINUING TO ACCESS OR USE THIS SITE OR ANY SERVICE ON THIS SITE, YOU SIGNIFY YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
The following terms and conditions apply to all users and customers (“you”) of ShipSimple (“ShipSimple”, “us” or “we”), on the www.shipsimple.ca website or mobile website.
This page sets out the terms and conditions on which ShipSimple offers services on its website for purchase online. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before making a purchase on the website. The availability of a service at a particular time does not warrant that it will be available at any other time. We reserve the right to discontinue any service at any time.
ShipSimple (we, our and us) operates the website www.shipsimple.ca. ShipSimple is based in Canada. Our registered address is 2425 Matheson Blvd. East, 8th Floor, Mississauga, ON L4W 5K4.
Our email address is support@shipsimple.ca.
Prices for our services are available on our website. We reserve the right to change the prices of the services at any time without prior notice, at our discretion.
You agree to pay the quoted price and any additional fees deemed applicable by the courier upon final delivery. All payments are made through Stripe, and charges are made by credit card at the time of label purchase or creation during the order process. Default of payment will result in the user account being immediately put on “hold” status, with no user access to the account, including shipment status, until payment is made by credit card. The user will be given a link to make their payment, and the account will then be returned to “active” status.
You agree to pay all fees associated with the Service, which may be updated from time to time. Overdue accounts will accrue interest at a rate of 0.5% per week, calculated and compounded weekly on the delinquent amount (25% per year), pro-rated to the date payment is made. Administrative charges may be levied for administration or account processing activities in connection with your account, including, without limitation, as a result of collection efforts due to non-payment, or returned or rejected payments.
If the shipping cost of your package increases due to under-reported package size or weight, ShipSimple shall bill your credit card for the increased cost, and you hereby authorize ShipSimple to do so.
If ShipSimple receives a chargeback dispute from your payment provider, each chargeback dispute will incur a fee of $30 or 25% of the chargeback amount, whichever is greater. This fee will be added to your current invoice and shall be due and payable immediately. ShipSimple will also have the right to terminate your account without further notice.
In the event of an unsuccessful charge on your credit card, an NSF fee of $25 will be added to your invoice.
Weekly invoice: ShipSimple reserves the right to revise your pricing at any time. ShipSimple will send you an invoice detailing your orders and any additional applicable charges at the end of each week in which you place an order. You agree to provide current, complete and accurate payment and billing information for your account, and to update it promptly to keep your account current, complete and accurate (for example, you must notify us of a change in billing address, credit card number or credit card expiration date). Failure to keep your payment details current and accurate may result in ShipSimple being unable to collect applicable fees, and may result in the suspension or termination of your access to the Services.
ShipSimple shall not be responsible for any local customs charges, import taxes or duties, or any similar charges incurred through the carriage and/or delivery of any shipment. You must satisfy yourself as to whether any of these charges will become due, and in what amounts, before completing an order with us.
You may request a refund of unused labels, postage or insurance certificates through ShipSimple, subject to a 3% processing fee, or a 6% processing fee if the refund is due to non-compliance with these terms and conditions. Refunds are also subject to the policies of the applicable courier. If a courier refuses to issue a refund, ShipSimple will not be responsible for refunding any postage amounts paid to that courier. ShipSimple may, at its discretion, refund any fees paid in addition to the courier’s postage fees. If a refund is issued, it will be provided no earlier than 14 days after the order date. Any postage, label or fee refund claims must be filed within 15 days after the postage or order was created. See the claims terms below.
There are no additional fees for users added to your account.
