PITNEY BOWES SAME DAY DELIVERY PRODUCT TERMS

(Last Modified May 18, 2020)

These terms and conditions are an addendum to your PitneyShip™ shipping software Product Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions below and any other provision of this Agreement, the terms and conditions below will govern and control.

1. The Service

The Pitney Bowes Same Day Delivery (“Same Day Service”) will connect you with someone to pick-up and deliver a package (“Delivery Service”). The individuals and/or businesses who will perform the Delivery Service are called “Drivers.” The Same Day Service provides transportation brokerage services. We are not a transportation carrier.

2. Use of the Same Day Service

In order to use the Same Day Service, you agree to:

(a) only access and use the Same Day Service for lawful purposes and not for any fraudulent purpose or in a way that would violate the rights of, interfere with, or be a nuisance to any third party or any Driver;

(b) not ship any Prohibited Items (defined below);

(d) not knowingly engage a Driver outside of the Same Day Service who previously performed a Delivery Service for you;

(e) properly pack all items for Delivery Service sufficient to withstand transport, reduce risk of theft, and ensure the safety and integrity of the item and in compliance with all applicable laws; and

4. Drivers

The Drivers do not work for us or our suppliers. The Same Day Service enables connections between you and Drivers; however, we and our suppliers have no control over, and are not responsible for, the performance, actions or inactions of any Driver, except as stated in these terms and conditions. PRIOR TO TENDERING YOUR PACKAGE TO THE DRIVER, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ORDER NUMBER PROVIDED AT THE TIME YOU RESERVE THE DELIVERY SERVICE AGAINST THE ORDER NUMBER THE DRIVER PROVIDES.
