Service Fees.
“Service Fees” are the fees for any Service and any third-party fees (including, but not limited to carrier fees, shipping fees, rates of duty, international brokerage charges, freight charges, insurance premiums, or other charges given during Vendor’s use of the Service).
Vendor shall pay any and all service fees.
Based upon the dimensions and final destination of the final packaged shipment, Line Fulfillment shall use its software to browse through the following carriers: United Parcel Service, Inc. (“UPS”), United States Postal Service (“USPS”) and DHL Express (“DHL”) (each, individually, a “Carrier,” and collectively, the “Carriers”), to find the lowest shipping rate for the most reliable shipping option for the desired speed.
Quotations for the Service and Service Fees are for informational purposes only, are subject to change without notice, and shall not under any circumstances be binding upon Line Fulfillment. Quotations accepted through the Service’s online interface are estimates based on the information available at the time made. The final rates and Service Fees may vary based upon the shipment actually tendered, the work actually performed, or a number of factors such as carrier shipping prices, the actual characteristics of your product, the delivery address, and service requested during the normal course of delivery. Line Fulfillment reserves the right to bill the Service Fees based on actual charges at any time after the Service is rendered. Line Fulfillment specifically disclaims liability for any shipping rate errors due to inaccurate or incomplete information, such as dimensions and weights.
Line Fulfillment reserves the right to adjust its pricing in response to currency fluctuations, including but not limited to, currency conversation rate changes, conversion fee changes, and/or discount rate changes.
For the avoidance of doubt, Line Fulfillment may distribute Goods between fulfillment centers in its fulfillment network (and partner warehouses) for efficiency in fulfilling and shipping Orders; while such distribution will not affect availability to fulfill and ship Orders, it may affect the amount of sales tax on any such Goods. Line Fulfillment shall provide Vendor with notice of any such distribution so the correct sales tax can be applied.
Vendor acknowledges that it is responsible for, and agrees to reimburse Line Fulfillment for, all reversals, charge-backs, claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by Line Fulfillment (including costs and related expenses) that are caused by or arising out of payments that Vendor authorizes or accepts.
Vendor acknowledges and agrees that all fees, charges, and any other rates or amounts charged by Line Fulfillment to you hereunder are exclusive of applicable value added, sales/use or inventory and service taxes (“Transaction Taxes”) which may be levied in connection with the supply by Line Fulfillment of the Service to you. Where applicable, you shall pay all Transaction Taxes arising in respect of the Service Fees or other amounts charged to Line Fulfillment by you.
All dollar amounts stated in this TOS and the website will be in US dollars unless otherwise specified.
Payment.
Payment processing Service for Users on the Service are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Service Agreement”). By agreeing to this TOS of Use or continuing to operate as a User on the Service, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Service Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of the Line Fulfillment enabling payment processing Service through Stripe, you agree to provide Line Fulfillment accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Line Fulfillment to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing Service provided by Stripe.
As a general rule, Stripe will collect payment from a Vendor for Service Fees due on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending on the account set-up; if necessary, payment may instead be collected at a later point. Please note that Line Fulfillment cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Vendor by his or her bank related to Stripe’s collection or disbursement of such payment, and Line Fulfillment disclaims all liability in this regard.
When you use the Service, all charges for the Service and any additional fees payable to Line Fulfillment will be charged to the credit card associated with your Stripe account. You agree to pay Line Fulfillment the amount that is specified in accordance with this TOS. If you dispute any charges you must let Line Fulfillment know within thirty (30) days after the date that ShipBob invoices you.
Vendor agrees and acknowledges that Line Fulfillment shall maintain a warehouseman’s lien under the UCC for all Goods in Line Fulfillment’s possession, regardless of whether a specific receipt is issued by Line Fulfillment, to cover all charges set forth in this Agreement. In the event Line Fulfillment is required to exercise its lien, Vendor shall be responsible for all necessary and reasonable costs incurred by Line Fulfillment including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees.
Insurance.
Vendor acknowledges that the Goods stored or warehoused by Line Fulfillment are not insured against loss or damage by Line Fulfillment, and Vendor shall be solely responsible for obtaining insurance coverage for the Goods. Vendor acknowledges that Line Fulfillment has highly recommended that Vendor purchase business property insurance from a reputable insurance provider notwithstanding the value of the Goods, and Vendor represents and warrants that it has secured such insurance.
Vendor agrees that Line Fulfillment’s liability for any damage caused to the Goods shall be limited to the actual product value of the Goods, which shall be measured by the original purchase invoice from the manufacturer/supplier. Line Fulfillment shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the Goods unless the loss or damage was directly caused by Line Fulfillment’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
In the event of a lost or damaged order, Line Fulfillment will file a claim with USPS or UPS, if Vendor is shipping on Line Fulfillment’s account, for Goods valued at less than or equal to $100.00. Line Fulfillment MAY NOT file claims for Mail Innovation, DHL Global Mail, SurePost, SmartPost, USPS Media Mail, or USPS First Class Shipments, unless additional shipping insurance is purchased. A credit will be applied on the next invoice for the amount the Carrier paid to Line Fulfillment. If the Carrier denies the claim, Vendor agrees that under no circumstances will Line Fulfillment be liable for more than $100.00 per shipment.
Inbound Shipments.
Vendor represents and warrants to Line Fulfillment that (a) it is the legal owner and/or has lawful possession of the Goods and has the sole legal right to store and thereafter direct the release and/or delivery of the Goods, (b) there are no potential health, safety or environmental hazards associated with the warehousing or fulfillment of the Goods tendered to Line Fulfillment under this Agreement, and (c) the Goods do not contain any material that violates any federal, state and local law (collectively, “Laws”). If the Goods do not meet these standards, Vendor may incur additional fees from Line Fulfillment, or Line Fulfillment may reject the Goods. This may result in a delay and Vendor agrees that Line Fulfillment shall not be liable for any loss or damage as a result of such delay.
Vendor shall provide ShipBob, in a digital format through the Line Fulfillment dashboard, with bills of lading for the inventory of all inbound shipments of Goods prior to the shipment arriving to Line Fulfillment’s facility. All inbound shipments shall be properly labeled and clearly identify the units and quantities of carton, case, or master case. Vendor represents and warrants that the information set forth on any shipment or delivery document, including, without limitation, information as to count, weight, description and condition of the Goods, is accurate and complete and may be relied upon by Line Fulfillment. If any inbound inventory received doesn’t follow Line Fulfillment’s WRO instructions, it will be subject to delays, and the Vendor will be charged an initial $25 fee as well as additional daily charges reflecting $25/day for every day that it remains unsolved. If the items in such shipment cannot be identified by Line Fulfillment, they may be discarded and Line Fulfillment assumes no responsibility for any associated losses. The warehouse receiving order shall be attached to the side of the box and the product name shall be clearly and conspicuously written on the outside of box.
Onboarding.
All inbound shipments must be received and inventoried before the Goods shall be shipped.
Upon receipt, Line Fulfillment may, at its sole discretion, verify the quantity of the Goods and inspect for any visible structural damage. Vendor acknowledges and agrees that Line Fulfillment has no obligation to verify the quantity, content, condition or quality of the Goods delivered to Line Fulfillment for storage and/or delivery. Line Fulfillment may, at its sole discretion, reject to store and/or deliver any Goods that it deems, in its sole discretion, to be improperly labeled or packaged or any Goods that contain any hazardous or illegal material.
If there are any outstanding or pending Orders that need to be fulfilled first, Vendor shall notify Line Fulfillment of the number of Orders to be sent initially and the expected timeline of processing such Orders.
Upon actual receipt of the Goods, Vendor can expect a minimum of five business days for products to be inventoried at Line Fulfillment’s warehouse. After five business days, Vendor’s Orders will begin to be processed and labeled, beginning with outstanding and pending Orders. Line Fulfillment will plan to fulfill the number of orders which was communicated during onboarding every day. Additional time may be required for special kitting, picking or any alterations in regular process.
Line Fulfillment shall thereafter process, package, and ship all Orders within one business day of actual receipt of the Order from Vendor provided that proper inventory amounts exist and there are no issues with the Order reported to Vendor. This provision shall not apply to Orders that are altered, Orders with low inventory items (less than 10 items in stock), held Orders and bulk Orders.
Vendor shall provide Line Fulfillment with an expectation of the date to begin shipping products, which shall conform to the terms of this Agreement.
Vendor shall be solely responsible for the accuracy of any information provided to Line Fulfillment and/or inputted onto Line Fulfillment’s website. Vendor agrees that Line Fulfillment shall not be liable for any delay, loss, damage or costs as a result of any inaccurate information provided by Vendor to Line Fulfillment or any information inputted incorrectly by Vendor onto Line Fulfillment’s website.
Shippable Addresses.
Vendor is solely responsible for the accuracy and deliverability of Order shipping addresses. Line Fulfillment may, at its sole discretion, verify Order shipping addresses, but this is not a replacement for merchant address diligence and verification. Vendor agrees and acknowledges that Line Fulfillment has no obligation to verify any shipping addresses by Vendor.
If Line Fulfillment provides an Order shipping estimate on the basis of an address later discovered to be inaccurate or incomplete, Vendor is solely responsible for any applicable address correction fees, any difference in shipping cost or for any other costs or fees due to the incomplete or inaccurate address. Examples of discrepancies for which Vendor may be responsible include, but are not limited to, incomplete addresses, commercial/residential address status, and rural address status.
International Shipping.
Vendor agrees that Line Fulfillment shall not be liable for any delay, loss or damage as a result of any Goods shipped internationally. Line Fulfillment shall not provide any refunds for or guarantee any international shipments. Line Fulfillment recommends that Vendor track and insure all international shipments. IT IS VENDOR’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM INTERNATIONAL FRAUD. IT IS VENDOR’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY ALL FEES RELATED TO ORDERS WHETHER THE ORDER IS FRAUDULENT OR THE PRODUCT IS DELIVERED OR NOT.
International Returns.
Shipments that are not delivered are often returned by the Carrier and assessed return shipping, brokerage, and returns processing carrier fees. These fees assessed by the Carriers are billed through to merchants, often without notice. Line Fulfillment strives to work with Vendors to circumvent International returns or abandoned inventory at the Vendor’s request; however, this is done on a best efforts basis and Line Fulfillment reserves the right to access fees to the value of the original shipping cost.
International CDT.
Customs, Duties and Taxes (“CDT”) on any international shipment charged by the Carrier are the responsibility of the Vendor and will be charged back to the Vendor regardless of whether they were or were not in the initial shipping estimate, or whether the order was or was not delivered.
Returns.
All returned shipments will be assessed a return shipment fee equivalent to the shipping fee to the original destination. Returned shipments will be returned to a Line Fulfillment distribution center, unless otherwise specified. If the returned shipment is requested to be shipped to a new location, the shipment will be treated as a new shipment and will incur standard shipping charges. Vendor shall be solely responsible for any fees assessed by any Carrier as a result of any shipments of Goods that are returned to Line Fulfillment by the Carrier for any reason whatsoever
Required Removals.
Line Fulfillment may, at its sole discretion, require that Vendor remove unsuitable or unsellable Goods from its distribution centers. Line Fulfillment will notify Vendor if it has any inventory that requires removal. If Vendor does not remove the inventory within 30 days of receiving a required removal notice, Line Fulfillment may dispose of the inventory listed in the required removal notice. Vendor is responsible for any related fees. Unsellable inventory is not in sellable condition.
Abandoned Account.
If Vendor’s Service Fees remain unpaid for a period greater than 30 days, then Line Fulfillment reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reclassify Vendor’s Account as an “Abandoned Account.” Additionally, any Account that remains unpaid for greater than 60 days will automatically be deemed an Abandoned Account. Upon an Account becoming an Abandoned Account, all rights to ownership of the Account Balance and Inventory would then immediately be forfeited by Vendor. Inventory will become immediately and irrevocably unavailable to Vendor, and liquidation proceedings would begin. Vendor agrees the inventory would be free and clear of liability, and that Vendor would assume any liability therefore. Vendor would have no rights to the liquidation proceeds. Vendor would also remain liable for any pending Service Fees above and beyond the liquidation proceeds.
Vendor Data.
Vendor retains all right, title and interest in and to the Vendor Data, other than the limited rights expressly granted in this Section 13. For purposes of this Agreement, “Vendor Data” means any and all information collected and/or stored by or on behalf of Line Fulfillment in connection with Vendor’s use of the Services, excluding data and information relating to the operation and/or performance of the Line Fulfillment Platform.
Nothing shall be construed to restrict, impair, encumber, alter, deprive or adversely affect the Vendor Data, or any of Vendor’s rights or interests therein. Vendor hereby grants Line Fulfillment the non-exclusive right and license to (a) copy, use, modify, distribute, display and disclose Vendor Data solely to the extent necessary to provide the Service to Vendor pursuant to the TOS, (b) copy, modify and use Vendor Data in connection with internal operations and functions, including, but not limited to, operational analytics and reporting, internal financial reporting and analysis, audit functions and archival purposes and (c) copy, use, modify, distribute, display and disclose Vendor Data on an aggregate and anonymized basis for marketing purposes.
Force Majeure.
Line Fulfillment shall not be liable for any delays or inability to perform the Line Fulfillment Service caused by forces beyond Line Fulfillment’s control including, without limitation, acts of God or act of third party service providers including but not limited to carriers and postage systems. When Inventory is ordered out, in the case of acts of God, war, terrorism, public enemies, seizure under legal process, strikes, lockouts, riots and civil commotions, or any reason beyond Line Fulfillment’s control, or because of loss or destruction of Inventory for which Line Fulfillment is not liable, or because of any other excuse provided by law, Line Fulfillment shall not be liable for failure to carry out such instructions and Inventory remaining in storage will continue to be subject to regular storage charges. If Line Fulfillment has exercised reasonable care and is unable, due to causes beyond its control, to affect delivery before expiration of the current storage period, the Inventory will be subject to storage charges for each succeeding storage period.
Representations and Warranties.
You represent and warrant to Line Fulfillment that (i) you have full power and authority to enter into this TOS; (ii) you own all Your Content or have obtained all permissions, releases, rights or licenses required to engage in your posting and other activities (and allow Line Fulfillment to perform its obligations) in connection with the Service without obtaining any further releases or consents; (iii) Your Content and other activities in connection with the Service, and Line Fulfillment’s exercise of all rights and license granted by you herein, do not and will not violate, infringe, or misappropriate any third party’s copyright, trademark, right of privacy or publicity, or other personal or proprietary right, nor does Your Content contain any matter that is defamatory, obscene, unlawful, threatening, abusive, tortious, offensive or harassing; and (iv) you are eighteen (18) years of age or older.
Termination.
You have the right to terminate your account at any time, provided you do not have a balance on your account (other than any amounts subject to a good faith dispute) by sending a cancellation request to support@linefulfillment.com. Subject to earlier termination as provided below, Line Fulfillment may terminate your Account and this TOS at any time by providing thirty (30) days prior notice to the administrative email address associated with your Account. In addition to any other remedies we may have, Line Fulfillment may also terminate this TOS upon thirty (30) days’ notice (or ten (10) days in the case of nonpayment), if you breach any of the terms or conditions of this TOS. Line Fulfillment reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof). All of Your Content on the Service (if any) may be permanently deleted by Line Fulfillment upon any termination of your account in its sole discretion. However, all accrued rights to payment and the terms of Section 4-12 shall survive termination of this TOS.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
The Service may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Line Fulfillment or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond our reasonable control, but Line Fulfillment shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by email of any scheduled service disruption. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THE LINE FULFILLMENT PLATFORM AND CONTENT, AND ALL SERVER AND NETWORK COMPONENTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, AND COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR VIRUS-FREE, NOR DOES IT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICE, AND NO INFORMATION, ADVICE OR SERVICE OBTAINED BY YOU FROM COMPANY OR THROUGH THE SERVICE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS TOS.
Line Fulfillment is not the importer of record for Inventory stored at Line Fulfillment. Line Fulfillment shall not be held liable for complying with your instructions through the Line Fulfillment Service. You understand that Line Fulfillment does not inspect your Inventory nor does Line Fulfillment take responsibility for the business decisions that you make and implement through the Line Fulfillment Service. For example, Line Fulfillment cannot control or ensure that a buyer or seller with whom you do business will remit payment for Inventory in accordance with your agreement with them. For purposes of clarity, Line Fulfillment is not the Merchant of Record for any of your Inventory. Line Fulfillment is not responsible for items damaged during the pick and pack process or for breakage of items during transit that have been picked and packed by Line Fulfillment.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES OR BUSINESS, LOST DATA, OR (B) FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, COSTS, LOSSES OR LIABILITIES IN EXCESS OF THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO YOUR CLAIM OR, IF NO FEES APPLY, ONE HUNDRED ($100) U.S. DOLLARS. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS TOS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED ON THESE LIMITATIONS IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THIS TOS.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply to you. IN THESE STATES, COMPANY’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. [Form, § 8.2]
Damage or Loss of Inventory. INVENTORY INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE. IN THE EVENT OF LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF INVENTORY (“INVENTORY LOSS”) FOR WHICH LINE FULFILLMENT IS LEGALLY LIABLE, YOU DECLARE THAT LINE FULFILLMENT’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED $.50 PER POUND FOR SAID LOST, DAMAGED, AND/OR DESTROYED INVENTORY. PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME AFTER INVENTORY IS RECEIVED, YOU MUST ADD INVENTORY INSURANCE ON PART OR ALL OF THE INVENTORY IN WHICH CASE AN INCREASED CHARGE WILL BE MADE BASED UPON SUCH INCREASED COVERAGE; FURTHER PROVIDED THAT NO SUCH COVERAGE SHALL BE VALID UNLESS PAID FOR BEFORE LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO ANY PORTION OF THE INVENTORY HAS OCCURRED. IN NO EVENT SHALL LINE FULFILLMENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST SALES REVENUE FROM INVENTORY LOSS. LINE FULFILLMENT’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR INVENTORY LOSS WILL BE CAPPED AT 5% OF THE TOTAL PRODUCT VALUE OR ONE MONTH OF THE AVERAGE BILLABLE STORAGE, WHICHEVER IS LOWER (“INVENTORY DAMAGES CAP”). FOR GREATER COVERAGE, YOU MUST ADD INVENTORY INSURANCE IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS ON THE INVENTORY THAT YOU WISH COVERED BY INSURANCE, IN WHICH CASE AN INCREASED CHARGE WILL BE MADE BASED UPON SUCH INCREASED COVERAGE; FURTHER PROVIDED THAT NO SUCH COVERAGE SHALL BE VALID UNLESS PAID FOR BEFORE LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO ANY PORTION OF THE INVENTORY HAS OCCURRED.
Inventory Count Inaccuracies. IN THE EVENT OF INVENTORY LOSS DUE TO INVENTORY COUNT INACCURACIES, INACCURATE INVENTORY COUNTS DURING RECEIVING OR INVENTORY COUNT INACCURACIES AT ANY TIME THAT LINE FULFILLMENT IS IN POSSESSION OF INVENTORY FOR WHICH THE CLAUSES ABOVE ARE DETERMINED TO BE INAPPLICABLE AND LINE FULFILLMENT IS HELD LEGALLY LIABLE, YOU AGREE THAT IT WILL BE CONSIDERED AN “INVENTORY LOSS” AND LINE FULFILLMENT’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED AS STATED IN 18.3. ABOVE. IN NO EVENT SHALL LINE FULFILLMENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST SALES REVENUE FROM THE INVENTORY LOSS DUE TO INVENTORY COUNT INACCURACIES.
Exclusive Remedy. LINE FULFILLMENT’S LIABILITY REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST LINE FULFILLMENT FOR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION WHATSOEVER RELATING TO LOSS, DAMAGE AND/OR DESTRUCTION OF INVENTORY AND SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS INCLUDING INVENTORY SHORTAGE AND MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE CLAIMS UNLESS YOU PROVE BY AFFIRMATIVE EVIDENCE THAT LINE FULFILLMENT CONVERTED THE INVENTORY TO ITS OWN USE. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO RELY UPON ANY PRESUMPTION OF CONVERSION IMPOSED BY LAW.
Indemnification.
You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Line Fulfillment from and against any claims, actions or demands, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising or resulting from your breach of this TOS, any of Your Content, or your other access, contribution to, use or misuse of the Service. Line Fulfillment shall provide notice to you of any such claim, suit or demand. Line Fulfillment reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this section. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting Line Fulfillment’s defense of such matter.

You may not remove or export from the United States or allow the export or re-export of the Service or anything related thereto, or any direct product thereof in violation of any restrictions, laws or regulations of the United States Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other United States or foreign agency or authority. As defined in FAR section 2.101, the software and documentation installed by Line Fulfillment on your Equipment (if applicable) are “commercial items” and according to DFAR section 252.227 7014(a)(1) and (5) are deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation.” Consistent with DFAR section 227.7202 and FAR section 12.212, any use modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of such commercial software or commercial software documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by the terms of this TOS and will be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of this TOS.

Miscellaneous.
If any provision of this TOS is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this TOS will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Both parties agree that this TOS, together with any attachments, addendums or service orders, is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this TOS, and that all waivers and modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein.
