You authorise us to engage the Transport Companies to transport your goods on the Transport Company’s terms.  If there is a conflict between these terms and the Transport Company’s terms (including the terms on any air waybill, bill of lading or other transit documentation set forth by the Transport Company), the Transport Company’s terms will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency. You indemnify us from and against any liability (including legal costs on an indemnity basis) we have to a Transport Company arising due to your negligence or a breach of the Transport Company’s terms caused by you or your goods.
1.1.3. Neither STLW nor any Transport Company it engages to undertake distribution of the product is a common carrier.

1.9 Service Level Guarantees.
1.9.1. Eligible Accounts.  Only full accounts in good standing (i.e. for which there are no fees overdue) are eligible for service level guarantees.  Free Trial accounts are not eligible.  Service level guarantees do not apply to items forbidden under our Acceptable Use Policy.  We offer service level guarantees for our Services only.  These guarantees can be suspended, modified or revoked at our sole discretion by giving prior notice to you.
1.9.2. Exclusions and Limitations.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service Level Guarantees do not apply to,
(1) Shipments that are made while your account is not in good standing or while it is on hold;
(2) Shipments that include any items not currently in stock;
(3) delays, damage,  loss or errors made by Transport Companies (which are governed by their own terms and conditions) ;
(4) Orders with over 10 items;
(5) International shipments, or shipments crossing a national border;
(6) Shipments requiring premium or oversized packaging;
(7) Shipments with a special project attached or where you have requested change to, edited or in any way modified the order after submission to the warehouse;
(8) Transport Company label printing being unavailable due to events outside of STLW control;
(9) Reshipments of an order under section 1.9.3 below;
(10) Inventory improperly labelled by merchant or improperly described by the merchant in the STLW system;
(11) Orders in excess of the warehouse specific daily trended average for a customer, absent a customer’s notification to STLW, and STLW’s receipt of, at least 1 week in advance that there will be a volume spike;
(12)  merchants on legacy pricing plans;
(13)  merchants that have been excluded from Service Level Guarantees specifically by STLW and at STLW’s sole discretion;
(14) shipments which are delayed due to causes beyond STLW’s control; including but not limited to, the following: 
Acts of God, failure or unavailability of any third-party system outside of STLW’s direct control that results in our inability to rate and communicate orders to the warehouses, riots, strikes or other labour disputes, civil commotions, natural disasters, terrorism, weather phenomena and/or disruptions in air or ground transportation networks; 
(15) For time-based service levels only, shipments made during excluded dates.  Excluded dates include (i) warehouse holidays as listed on www.e-warehousing.com.au; (ii)  “Peak Season” dates including the first week of December, Mondays during December, December 12th-25th and New Year’s Eve.  During Peak Season dates STLW will endeavour to maintain our shipping service level; however, we cannot offer the service level guarantees due to spikes in merchant shipping volume. 

All credits will be applied to the merchant’s STLW account.  Receiving a service level credit in the past does not waive our right to deny a service level credit in the future.  Only one credit is permitted per order, in the event of a multi-package order, a refund or credit will be given only for the portion of the order applicable.  STLW will not be liable for any refund or credit if the package is available for Transport Company pickup; but, the Transport Company does not pick-up.
1.9.3. 100% Accuracy Guarantee.  This guarantee applies only to eligible accounts where no exclusions or limitations, described in 1.9.2, are present.  The shipping accuracy guarantee means we will ship the right products to the address you specify, and if we don’t ship the right products we will ship any available replacement merchandise via the same shipping method as the original shipment with shipping costs paid by STLW, and credit your account for an equal number of item picks as the order made in error.   Additionally, at our discretion and when the Transport Company makes this service available we will request our Transport Company to retrieve your merchandise at our expense, or compensate you for lost or missing merchandise as detailed in our Limitation of Liability.  The shipping accuracy guarantee does not mean we will ship every order with exactly the Transport Company you select as Transport Companies sometimes change service level or their systems are not available and STLW may fail-over to a similar Transport Company in order to ship the product as quickly as possible.  The shipping accuracy guarantee does not mean that the final shipping price will exactly match the rate initially displayed as these terms detail that all shipping rates displayed are estimates until final Transport Company bills are received.  The shipping accuracy guarantee does not mean that the product will arrive to the end recipient in a timely manner or undamaged; STLW bundles $20.00 of loss/damage protection with most orders and we strongly recommend that merchants insure all shipments against loss or damage.  We do not guarantee the safe transport of your goods or ensure that a recipient will accept the shipment.  We are not liable for lost product, loss of business or for consequential or incidental damages for shipments.
1.9.4 Same Day Shipping Guarantee. This service level guarantee applies only to eligible accounts in good standing when no exclusions or limitations, as described in 1.9.2, are present.  If we fail to meet this Service Level Guarantee, we will credit your account with the cost of the Services that fail to meet it.  Orders sent to the warehouse by 13:00 local warehouse time on a business day will be available for Transport Company pick up the same day.  Orders sent to the warehouse between 13:01 and 14:00 local warehouse time will be considered for same day shipping on a “best efforts” basis with no credits or service level penalties by STLW if the order is not available for Transport Company pickup on the day it was submitted to the warehouse.  Customers must specifically set account order and shipping preferences to participate in Same Day Shipping Guarantee. Please review your account shipping preferences to select multiple submit times per day.  If an order is sent to the warehouse by 13:00 local warehouse time on a business day and we do not ship in the time period defined herein we will review and credit your account the item handling/picks within 7 days of your use of our Report a Problem interface to notify STLW of the missed time-line.  The Same Day Shipping Guarantee is specifically excluded on weekends, holidays and Peak Season dates described in 1.9.2 above.  Note:  All orders are submitted to the warehouses as described at www.stlwarehousing.com.au, and per your account preferences.  In some cases, Transport Company tracking numbers do not go live until sometime after the shipment has been handed to the Transport Company, as such tracking number availability or ship time as reported by the Transport Company are not determinations of shipment.
1.9.5 24-Hour Shipping Guarantee.  This service level guarantee applies only to eligible accounts in good standing when no exclusions or limitations as described in clause 1.9.2 are present.  For orders submitted to the warehouse past the cut-off on a working day for Same Day Shipping Guarantee, all orders will be shipped within a 24 hour time period as defined below.  If we do not ship in the time period defined herein we will credit your account the item handling/picks back within 7 days after you use our Report a Problem interface and notify STLW of the missed time-line.  The 24 hour time period is defined as the time the order is submitted to the Warehouse to the time that the order is ready for pickup excluding weekends, holidays and Peak Season dates described in 1.9.2 above 
Note:  All orders are submitted to the warehouses as described at www.e-warehousing.com.au, and per your account preferences.  In some cases, Transport Company tracking numbers do not go live until sometime after the shipment has been handed to the Transport Company, as such tracking number availability or ship time as reported by the Transport Company are not determinations of shipment.
1.9.6. STLW specifically reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw these service level guarantees.
1.9.7 Service Level Guarantee Claims.  Subject to law, this clause 1.9 states all your remedies for failure to meet a Service Level Guarantee.  To make a claim under one or more of the Service Level Guarantees, your account must be in good standing and no exclusions as described in 1.9.2 must be present.  For Shipping Accuracy Guarantees you must use the “Report a Problem” interface in your STLW account on a per order basis.  In the event you have paid for Guaranteed Expedited Handling on any order, our failure to ship within this expedited time window will result in a credit back to your account within 3 business days for the extra charge for Guaranteed Expedited Handling. 
2. Eligibility.
2.1. Eligibility. To be eligible for our Services, you must be at least 18 years old and a resident of Australia or one of the countries with which the STLW fulfilment service can complete a transaction. Answers to questions about the STLW fulfilment service can be found at www.e-warehousing.com.au. This Agreement applies to all users, regardless of the country in which they reside. No matter where you are located, these terms will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the law of New South Wales, Australia.  International users access the Website on this basis.  You and STWL submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and courts able to hear appeals from them to determine any dispute arising out of or in relation to these terms
2.2. Identity Authentication. You authorise STL Warehousing, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your identity. This may include asking you for further information, requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address or financial instruments, ordering a credit report and verifying your Information against third party databases or through other sources.
3. Sending Merchandise to STLW.
3.1. Receiving Requirements – Noncompliance Fees. STLW has strict receiving requirements. If these requirements are not met, you may incur additional fees. Qualified inventory is inventory that is received properly, meaning:
3.1.1. Each shipping label has a properly formatted shipping address, including Advanced Shipping Notification Number (ASN#).
3.1.2. There is one Purchase Order # per shipment.
3.1.3. All Purchase Order numbers are less than 6 weeks (42 business days) old.
3.1.4. For each Purchase Order #, the actual quantities match the reported quantities.
3.1.5. The dimensions and weight are correct.
3.1.6. If you sent 7 or more pallets to STLW on one Purchase Order #, you properly scheduled a delivery window.
3.1.7. New inventory has clear SKU labels corresponding with SKUs in your account, and is packaged for handling.
3.1.8. Inventory is received cleanly organised, boxed and/or stacked. SKUs are packaged together, unmixed.
3.1.9. STLW is not liable for any duties, customs or fees related to the inventory.  You indemnify STWL from and against having to bear any such amounts.
3.1.10. Inventory that does not meet these criteria will be classified as unqualified inventory. Unqualified inventory is subject to a fee of $35 per ASN number, plus $0.25 per associated item. If dimensions or weight are later discovered to be in error, the penalty will apply retroactively, as will a surcharge comparable to the under billed shipping fees. Also additional fees may apply for labour needed to clean up, label or otherwise reconcile your inventory. Finally, you agree that STLW may simply refuse or return any shipment it deems significantly unqualified, at your cost, and shall not be liable or responsible for any cost, expense, loss, injury, mis-consignment, or damage of any nature to, or related to, such refused goods. Whether STLW accepts or refuses goods you agree to indemnify and hold harmless STLW from any and all claims for transportation, storage, handling and other charges relating to such goods, including undercharges, rail demurrage, truck/intermodal detention and other charges of any nature.
3.1.11. There is a base cost to receive inventory into the warehouses (”Receiving Cost”), before any additional fees associated with an Unqualified receiving. While not specifically called out, this Receiving Cost is included with our standard plan and per item ship fees. STLW at its sole discretion may at any time require an advance “Receiving Cost” deposit to fund your account. This deposit will be applied to your account as you use our services, in order to cover the base cost to receive the associated inventory. For example, if your “Receiving Cost” deposit is $200.00 for 200 items, and you ship half the items, your required deposit will reduce by half, or $100.00.
3.1.12. Chain of custody is provided on www.stlwarehousing.com.au.
3.1.13. STLW shall not be responsible for segregating inventory by production code date. If this is required, we recommend you create a unique SKU for each production.
3.1.14. Receiving Accuracy Disclaimer:  Upon receiving, STLW does not audit for accuracy all product weights and measurements nor all inventory counts stated in the merchant Purchase Order. STLW will often “spot check” receiving for accuracy.  If you would like STLW to audit inbound receiving item counts, inventory levels or product attributes (weight and dimensions) for products in storage or as packaged for shipment you must initiate a Special Project. To the maximum extent permitted by law, STLW specifically excludes responsibility for the accuracy of product attributes (weight and dimensions) being entered into the STLW system by customers. The merchant is specifically responsible for product attribute accuracy.
3.1.14.1 Should an inventory discrepancy be found with products at the time of receiving or for products in storage merchants should first submit an insurance claim to their inbound shipping insurance agent and their off-site inventory insurance agent (Note, STLW provides inventory insurance as an extra cost that can be added to your plan). STLW received inventory counts are not audited or certified accurate. See also sections 11.4 and 11.12
3.1.14.2. In the case of lots, where a unit represents multiple individual units bundled together, STLW does not audit for accuracy that any specific number of individual units are correctly represented, without a special arrangement subject to a charge.
3.1.14.3 You will provide STLW with information concerning the stored inventory which is accurate, complete and sufficient to allow STLW to comply with all laws and regulations concerning the storage, handling and transporting of the stored inventory. You will indemnify and hold STLW harmless from all loss, cost, penalty and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which STLW pays or incurs as a result of you failing to fully discharge this obligation.
3.1.14.4 If a cross-shipment has resulted in an inventory discrepancy see section 11.
3.2. Monthly fees. Your monthly fee will begin, or will be adjusted accordingly, immediately upon completion of the Receiving wizard in your Account. The Receiving wizard is what provides the shipping address and Purchase Order # needed to send us inventory. Storage charges become applicable upon the date that inventory is delivered to STLW, regardless of unloading date or date of issue of warehouse receipt. A full month’s storage charge will apply on all goods received between the first and last day, inclusive, of a billing month, and a full month’s storage charge will apply to all goods in storage on the first day of the next and succeeding billing months. All storage charges are due and payable on the first day of storage for the initial month and thereafter on the first day of the billing month.
3.3. Inventory Must Be Free and Clear
3.3.1. Shipments must be free and clear of all duties and fees BEFORE arriving at STLW. You must be the ultimate consignee, and take responsibility for your inventory clearing any customs, government or Transport Company inspections. If inventory arrives at STLW, and customs, duties or fees are applicable to the shipment, these fees will be billed to your account, along with a AUD $500 administrative charge, and your merchandise held until all applicable fees are paid. If notice of fees is determined at a later date, all charges and holds will be immediate and retroactive. STLW cannot be the Importer of Record for your inventory.
3.4. Packing and Marking Requirements. You must comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including those governing packing, marking and labelling for all shipments.
3.4.1. Shipments must be prepared or packed to ensure safe carriage with ordinary care in handling.
3.4.2. Each piece must be legibly and durably labelled with the shipping address and Purchase Order #.
3.4.3. Pieces with floor-bearing weight greater than 25 kilo’s per carton must be provided with a skid or base that will reduce the floor-bearing weight to 25 kilo’s or less per square foot. The skid or base will be included in the gross weight of the piece and must be furnished by you or additional charges may apply.
3.5. Defective Product or Packaging; Obsolescence; Disposal.
3.5.1. Prior to sending a large quantity of merchandise to STLW, we strongly recommend you (i) check product and packaging for shippability, (ii) send a small sample to STLW, and ship it back to yourself, to confirm shippability and (iii) purchase adequate insurance to protect your goods.
3.5.2. We reserve the right to refuse, dispose of and/or return at your cost any product we deem unfit, dangerous, requiring special attention, or otherwise interfering with our normal operations. You are also liable for any additional labour and materials needed to handle defective product or packaging.
3.5.3. If you provide pre-packaged product, we may determine your packaging to be insufficient for shipping, and an outside box required. At our discretion, we may offer an outside box and packaging solution for an additional fee, or we may return the product to you at your cost.
3.5.4.    Disposing of your inventory is comparable to shipping, only without the shipping fee. In other words, the inventory will still be handled as a normal outbound order, with respect to the cost of handling. A sufficient monthly plan is needed to cover the cost of disposing, or shipping, all items, and storage fees will be required until all items are disposed of or shipped out.
3.6. Limited Access to Inventory
3.6.1. Once product is received by STLW, it is unavailable for inspection, exchange or pickup. You must submit a standard order for shipping if you wish to move the product to another location. Sending a third party to pick up product, or coming to pick-up product yourself, is not an option. Submitting a large order for shipping may require you to upgrade your plan accordingly. All plans have a limited set of shipping options available.
3.6.2.    STLW will store the goods at, and may without notice move the goods within and between STLW warehouses.
3.6.3. STLW does not provide warehouse tour in person at the discretion of our customers. STLW provides a free trial of our services so that you can test the inbound receiving, storage and shipping of any of our warehouses. STLW provides photos and video tours of our standard warehouse layout at www.e-warehousing.com.au
3.7. Projects
3.7.1. Project price quotes are estimates based on information that you have provided and may not include all supplies, hours of work or unexpected project costs. Upon approval of a project estimate and completion of work you will be billed for all hours and supplies to complete your project. To the maximum extent permitted by law, STLW specifically excludes liability for any project activities conducted at your request that results in modification, damages, changes or errors to your product or product packaging.  Receiving and shipping delays may result as project work is being completed. The limit of our liability for project related tasks is a refund of the hourly charge for the project work. We highly recommend that you request and pay for a project sample before requesting bulk modifications to your inventory. Pricing is subject to change at any time.
3.7.2. STLW reserves the right to assign a project fee for services or use that it deems at its reasonable discretion to be excessive or abusive.
3.7.3. STLW reserves the right to request a project to any receiving to ensure compliance with STLW standard receiving requirements (see paragraph 3 above).  In the event that merchant is requested to pay for such a project, your exclusive remedy for non-acceptance are cancellation of receiving or account closure of your STLW account, pursuant to Section 7, Closing Your Account.
3.8. Using Multiple Accounts To the maximum extent permitted by law, STLW specifically excludes liability for any issues related to a business using multiple STLW accounts. It is your responsibility to ensure STLW is notified of incoming product from the appropriate account, and to send orders to the appropriate account. If product is incorrectly sent to the wrong account, your sole remedy is to submit an order for product in the first account, and notify STLW of incoming product in the second account, and pay all corresponding fees in both accounts.
3.9. Arranging Your Own Freight STLW can provide assistance with inbound freight, by putting you in touch with certified partner carriers and forwarders. If you choose to forego our assistance, and use your own carriers and forwarders, please be advised that STLW is not responsible for any associated fees, including demurrage fees.
4. Having STLW Ship on Your Behalf.
4.1. Application of Rates and Charges
4.1.1. Basis. Rates and service quotations for transport are estimates and will be based upon the information provided by you, but final rates and service may vary based upon the shipment actually tendered. Charges will be assessed at the rates effective the day the shipment is accepted by us. Due to potential delays beyond the control of STLW in the discovery of errors STLW reserves the right to retroactively assess or adjust fees, and to make certain aspects of an account uneditable at STLW’s discretion in order to avoid further errors.
4.1.2. Chargeable Weight. The costs to transport goods are dependent upon Transport Company space and weight limitations. Thus, bulky shipments requiring considerable space are often charged a dimensional weight. Each shipment tendered to us is charged according to the actual weight or the dimensional weight, whichever is greater. Dimensional weight is computed by using a dimention factor of 250 for domestic shipments and 167 for international shipments. Actual Weight is the weight determined by measuring the shipment on a certified floor platform scale. Dimensional Weight is calculated using the formula (length in centimetres) x (width in centimetres) x (height in centimetres), divided by the dim factor. Dimensional Weight is always rounded up to the next whole pound or kilogram, and calculated on the sum of the dimensions for all pieces contained in the shipment.
4.1.2.1. Example: 10” x 12” x 15” box, 5 kilo’s. Actual Weight = 5 kilo’s. Dimensional Weight = (10 x 12 x 15)/250 = 9.28 = 7.2 kgs. Dimensional Factor = 250. The actual weight exceeds the dimensional weight. Thus, the actual weight (7.2 kgs.) will be used as the chargeable weight for the shipment.
4.1.3. Additional Fees. Fees related to Customs and security, failed pickup or delivery, returns, labour and waiting time, and re-consignment, may be assessed additional charges and may incur additional transit day(s). STLW further reserves the right to bill additional fees, along with STLW administrative fees, for address corrections and other Transport Company adjustments that are billed to STLW.
4.1.3.1. When using a third party Transport Company  in conjunction with STLW services, you shall be responsible for any associated fees billed to STLW. STLW shall not be responsible for determining if fees are correct, delivering messages between the Transport Company and yourself, or otherwise acting as an intermediary. If an invoice arrives at STLW, for fees applicable to your shipment, these fees will be billed to your account, along with a AUD $500 administrative charge, and your inventory held until all applicable fees are paid. If notice of fees is determined at a later date, all charges and holds will be immediate and retroactive. STLW shall not refund any fees or charges, and specifically to the maximum extent permitted by law excludes any liability for third party Transport Company fees. Further note that scheduling of third party Transport Companies is considered a project, and carries with it standard project service levels.
4.1.4. Beyond Charges. A shipment that originates from, or is destined to, a rural location or a location distant from a commercial centre may be assessed additional charges and may incur additional transit day(s).
4.1.5. Fuel Surcharges. Most Transport Companies apply fuel surcharges; you are responsible for any applicable fuel surcharges.
4.1.6. Product Description. When you input new products into STLW you must give weight and product dimensions. Please ensure these weights and dimensions are accurate, STLW relies on these for shipping cost estimates. If your weight or dimensions are smaller than actual, STLW shipping estimates will be low and when the actual shipping price is incurred by the Transport Company your account will be back-billed the difference. If your shipping weights and dimensions are too large STLW will overpay the postage and the Transport Company will not notify STLW or you of the overpayment; STLW will not be responsible for refunds for overpayment of Transport Company fees due to erroneous product weight or dimensions. If you do not know your exact product weight and dimensions please submit a project request form through your STLW interface and we will provide an estimated hourly cost to audit your inventory for weight and dimensions. Please note also that our shipping costs are estimates until approved/billed by Transport Companies. STLW reserves the right to edit dimensions and weight at its discretion.
4.1.7. Shippable Addresses. You are responsible for the accuracy and deliverability of order shipping addresses. STLW may, at its discretion, occasionally attempt to verify some order shipping addresses, but this is not a replacement for your address diligence and verification. If STLW provides an order shipping estimate on the basis of an address later discovered to be inaccurate or incomplete, the merchant may be responsible for any applicable address correction fees, or for any difference in shipping cost due to differences between the merchant-provided address and the actual address. Examples of discrepancies for which the merchant may be responsible include, but are not limited to, incomplete addresses, commercial/residential address status, and rural address status.
4.1.8. International Shipping. STLW offers International shipping from most warehouses on a best efforts basis. STLW reserves the right to charge additional item or per shipment handling fees for any international shipment, all fees will be displayed on www.e-warehousing.com.au and in the shipping estimate.  STLW must offer International shipping as “best efforts” because we cannot guarantee delivery due to the unknowns involved with trans-border shipping.  Customs and Customs agents can delay, refuse to process, assess brokerage, lose or impose unanticipated customs, tax or duties to international shipments at their discretion.  Even perfectly documented shipments can be returned to the warehouse with no reasons indicated.  Whenever possible you should avoid the unknowns and extra costs of international shipping by moving inventory and shipping locally.  STLW will not refund or guarantee an international shipment that was lost or returned.  We recommend that all international shipments be tracked and insured.   Please see our terms of service and our help files on customs and duties. REMEMBER IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM INTERNATIONAL FRAUD. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY ALL FEES RELATED TO FRAUDULENT ORDERS, WHETHER THE PRODUCT IS DELIVERED OR NOT.
4.1.8.1. International Returns. International shipments that are not delivered are often returned by the Transport Company and assessed return shipping, brokerage and returns processing Transport Company fees. Any of these fees assessed by the Transport Companies are billed through to merchants. STLW strives to work with merchants to circumvent these fees or abandon product at the merchant’s request; however, this is done on a best efforts basis and may result in a special project fee due to the time involved.
4.1.8.2. International CDT. Customs, Duties and Taxes on any international shipment charged by the Transport Company are the responsibility of the merchant and will be charged back to the merchant regardless of whether they were or were not in the initial shipping estimate, or whether the order was or was not delivered.
4.1.9. Quotations are estimates only. Quotations as to fees, rates of duty, international brokerage charges, freight charges, insurance premiums or other charges given by us to you are for informational purposes only and are subject to change without notice and shall not under any circumstances be binding upon us unless we in writing specifically undertake the handling or carriage of the shipment at a specific rate. Quotations accepted through STLW’s online interface are estimates based on the information you have supplied. Your final shipping charge may differ based on Transport Company shipping prices, the actual characteristics of your product, the delivery address, and services requested during the normal course of delivery. STLW specifically excludes liability for any shipping rate errors due to information you have supplied, such as dimensions and weights you have entered into our system.  STLW excludes liability for any shipping rate errors due to failures in communication with shipping Transport Companies that are outside of STLW’s control.
4.2. Computation of Days. Unless otherwise provided, in computing time in days, business days will be used. Chain of custody and service levels are provided on www.e-warehousing.com.au.
4.3. Conditions of Transportation. Except as otherwise provided for herein, we assume no obligation to commence or complete transportation of a shipment within any specific period. STLW will determine the routing of any shipment not routed by you, including the mode of transportation used, and may use air transportation, ground transportation, ocean transportation or any combination thereof in providing shipping services. STLW reserves the right to divert any shipment (including use of other Transport Companies) in order to facilitate its delivery. The carriage charges for a shipment will be based on the corresponding rates scale, calculated using the origin to destination, plus the addition of all applicable additional charges. STLW shall not be liable for delays in obtaining and loading cars, trailers or other containers for outbound shipment. STLW shall have a reasonable time to make delivery after inventory is ordered out and shall have a minimum of 10 business days after receipt of a delivery order in which to locate any misplaced inventory.
4.3.1. When goods are ordered out, in the case of acts of God, war, public enemies, seizure under legal process, strikes, lockouts, riots and civil commotions, or any reason beyond STLW’s control, or because of loss or destruction of goods for which STLW is not liable, or because of any other excuse provided by law, STLW shall not be liable for failure to carry out such instructions and goods remaining in storage will continue to be subject to regular storage charges.
4.3.2. If STLW 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.
4.3.3. All instructions and requests for delivery of inventory or transfer of title are received subject to satisfaction of all charges, liens and security interests of STLW with respect to the inventory whether for accrued charges, unpaid fees, or advances or otherwise.
4.3.4. STLW may require, as a condition precedent to delivery, a statement from you holding STLW harmless from claims of others asserting a superior right to you to possession of the inventory. You authorise STLW to perfect by registration its security interest in your goods where available by law.  Nothing herein shall preclude STLW from exercising any other remedy available to it under the law to resolve conflicting claims to possession of the inventory.
4.4. Transport Companies. We reserve the right to use alternate Transport Companies or services that provide comparable service levels, as determined by STLW. In these cases, pricing will remain as initially quoted. STLW reserves the right to modify service levels and Transport Company options at any time.

Merchandise returned directly to STLW without a proper Purchase Order # or RMA #, including undeliverable shipments, will either be refused or discarded. It is your responsibility to submit deliverable orders, and to ensure returns are handled properly. To see details on how to handle returns, please visit the Help Centre on www.e-warehousing.com.au. Further, you agree that the condition of a return is subjective, and that STLW is in no way liable for inspection, or for storing, handling, disposing of, or reshipping returns that appear damaged.
4.6 My Carrier. STLW does not provide for third party transport companies to ship orders as a standard service. For merchants who must ship a large freight order on a third-party shipping account STLW provides the My Carrier service as a special project and subject to an additional fee at STLW’s sole discretion and subject to the execution by merchant of specific My Carrier Terms of Service.

STLW, developers and third-parties may offer connections to the STLW API and software interfaces via third-party applications and Web services called “Sell Tools” as a convenience for our merchants. It is your responsibility to test the interface between STLW and 3rd party tools. We recommend you test early and often. STLW is not responsible for translation issues, held orders, or any other issues related to communication with 3rd party tools. In addition to strongly recommending frequent testing, STLW also provides the ability for transmitted orders to be held before being sent to the warehouse. It is your responsibility to investigate all these features, set them up properly, do any testing, and inquire with STLW about any questions or concerns BEFORE going live with your online store. Please be responsible and test. After you go live, we will still be there to assist you, but requests for credits or special exceptions, such as stopping orders already transmitted to the warehouse, will be politely refused.

5.1. Monthly Fees. Fees are listed on the STLW website, at www.e-warehousing.com.au. Note that items are billed to the month they are actually shipped. For example, if you submit an order on Saturday, October 31, the order may not ship until Monday, November 2, and a monthly plan will be needed for the month of November.  STLW monthly fee pricing is subject to change.  Should you change plans during or at the end of any month, your previous pricing plan may no longer be available.  By providing your credit card details and agreeing to these terms you authorise STWL to charge your credit card with any amounts due to us under these terms.
GST is included in the quoted price.  Where the prevailing rate of GST changes, the new rate will be applied to the prices and the GST inclusive price for the service will be adjusted to account for the new rate of GST.  We will issue a tax invoice to the payer for any supplies made by us to which GST applies.
5.2. Shipping Fees. STLW pays your shipping fees as they occur, as well as any fees for additional services you request. Each of these fees is debited from your STLW account balance on or about the day of activity. Fees are listed on the STLW warehouse site when you login.
5.3. Additional Item Fees. There will be additional fees when the “total items shipped during a month” exceeds the “plan allowance.” The additional item fees are listed on the STLW website, at www.e-warehousing.com.au. These additional item fees are non-refundable, and apply regardless of any plan upgrades.
5.4.    Currency Fluctuations. While STLW strives to cushion merchants from currency fluctuations, STLW reserves the right at its discretion to adjust warehouse pricing immediately in response to currency fluctuations.
5.5 Billing Review Period. Should you disagree with any STLW service fee billed you agree to submit the disputed fee to STLW within 90 days of the fee being charged. STLW will not review fees billed after 90 days. Please note that some Transport Company shipping fees cannot be challenged after 45 or 60 days, or otherwise, depending upon the Transport Company terms and conditions. Transport Company shipping charges are not STLW service fees for purposes of the billing review period, and complaints must be directed to the relevant transport company.
6. Account Balances.
6.1. Balances. You must maintain a minimum balance as described at www.e-warehousing.com.au. The minimum balance is recalculated daily, based on your inventory the previous day.
6.2. Waiver of credit card dispute process. The use of a credit card often includes the ability to dispute payments made with that card pursuant to certain dispute resolution rules and procedures provided in the agreement you have with your credit card company. Additionally, STLW’s ability to receive payment of its fees and costs via credit card is pursuant to a form of merchant services agreement which contains its own rules and procedures for dispute resolution, including rules and procedures parallel to those associated with your credit card. To the maximum extent permitted by law, by using the STLW service, you are agreeing to forego any and all rights you may have to utilise the dispute resolution rules and procedures provided with your credit card and those related to STLW’s merchant services agreement and to rely exclusively on the dispute resolution procedures provided in these terms.
6.3. Waiver of PayPal dispute process. The use of PayPal includes the ability to dispute payments made with PayPal pursuant to certain dispute resolution rules and procedures provided in the agreement you have with PayPal. Additionally, STLW’s ability to receive payment of its fees and costs via PayPal is pursuant to a form of merchant services agreement which contains its own rules and procedures for dispute resolution, including rules and procedures parallel to those associated with your PayPal account. By using the STLW service, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you are agreeing to forego any and all rights you may have to utilise the dispute resolution rules and procedures provided by PayPal and those related to STLW’s merchant services agreement and to rely exclusively on the dispute resolution procedures provided in these terms.
7. Closing Your Account.
7.1. How to Close Your Account. Deplete all your inventory and your monthly fee will automatically turn off. Your account will remain available to you at no charge, unless you request additional Services.
7.2. Limitations on Closing Your Account. Your monthly fee will continue as long as STLW is carrying inventory for you. If inventory remains in your Account, and you wish to stop your monthly fee, you must ship the inventory to yourself, or elsewhere, in the same manner as shipping inventory to your customers. You must submit a standard order, and use one of our standard shipping services only. You must have a sufficient plan for shipping the number of items. If you do not wish to modify your plan, and your current plan is insufficient for shipping your entire inventory in the current month, you will need to spread the shipment over several months, and stay within the limits of your current plan.
7.2.1. You may not close your Account to evade an investigation. If you attempt to close your Account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold your funds and inventory for up to 180 Days to protect STLW or a third party against the risk of Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You will remain liable for all obligations related to your Account even after the Account is closed.
7.3. Insufficient Funds. It is your responsibility to make sure there are sufficient funds in your account to cover any pending monthly or shipping fees. If you have a credit card on file, we will attempt to charge your card as needed. If at any time additional funds are required, and no valid credit card is available, your account will be placed on hold, and a fee will be assessed. The fee will be the greater of $5 or $0.10 per item stored by STLW. STLW will attempt to rebill your account 24 hours later. If funds remain unavailable, and a valid credit card remains unavailable, your account will again be assessed this same fee. This process will repeat, until you have sufficient funds in your account.
7.4. Abandoned Account and Liquidation. If your fees remain unpaid for a period greater than 30 days, STLW reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to r reclassify your account as an Abandoned Account as a result of your breach of these terms. All rights to ownership of funds and inventory would then immediately be forfeited by you to STWL to sell to recover your debt. Inventory would become immediately and irrevocably unavailable, and liquidated proceedings would begin. You agree the inventory would be free and clear of liability, and that you would assume any liability therefore. You will remain liable for any pending monthly or shipping fees above and beyond the liquidation proceeds, plus the charges described in 7.3 above.

If we have made an error, we will correct it promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 Days to investigate your complaint or question (and 90 Days for transactions made at a point of sale terminal or outside of Australia). If we decide that we need more time, we will provisionally re-credit your Account for the amount you think is in error within 10 Business Days after we receive your notice; so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation.

10.3.1. At the end of our investigation, we will advise you of the results within 3 Business Days. If we determine that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation and we may debit any provisional credit that we previously credited to you in relation to the alleged error.
10.4. Liability for Unauthorised Transactions. If you report and we verify that there has been an Improper Account Access related to your Account, we will reimburse you in full for any unauthorised Services ordered from your Account that occur after we become aware of the unauthorised access.

10.5. Errors. If we discover a processing error, we will rectify the error. If the error resulted in your Account Balance displaying less money than you were entitled to, STLW will credit your Account for the difference. If the error results in your Account Balance displaying more money than you were entitled to, STLW may debit the extra funds from your STLW Account. If the error resulted in our not completing a shipment with the proper quantity, we will reship the additional items at no charge, unless:
10.5.1. through no fault of ours, you did not have enough available funds to complete the transaction;
10.5.2. our system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you submitted the order;
10.5.3. Inventory not being available due to inventory count inaccuracies; or
10.5.4. circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood or loss of Internet connection) prevented the transaction, despite our reasonable precautions.

In the event of inventory loss due to inventory count inaccuracies, inaccurate inventory counts during receiving or inventory count inaccuracies at any time that STLW is in possession of inventory, or if there is any discrepancy between what is expected, and what is actually received, you agree that filing a claim with your inbound shipping insurance provider is your only recourse, and that STLW to the maximum extent permitted by law, has no liability therefore. A discrepancy may be in quantity, condition of merchandise, or otherwise. STLW does not offer inbound shipping services. Third parties that handle inbound shipping are independent of STLW. STLW is in no way liable for inbound shipping.
11.4. Resolving Inventory Problems. Inventory problems must be resolved through off-site inventory insurance. If you dispute the inventory as described in your account, you agree that filing a claim with your off-site inventory provider is your only recourse, and that to the maximum extent permitted by law, STLW has no liability therefore. STLW is only a broker of inventory services. Third parties that handle inventory services are independent of STLW. To the maximum extent permitted by law, STLW is in no way liable for inventory services. To the maximum extent permitted by law, STLW specifically excludes liability for any project activities conducted at your request that results in modification, damages, changes or errors to your product or product packaging.  Receiving and shipping delays may result as project work is being completed. The limit of our liability for project related tasks is the hourly charge for the project work. We highly recommend that you request and pay for a project sample before requesting bulk modifications to your inventory.
11.4.1 As a value added service STLW provides warehouse inventory insurance that can be added to any STLW plan when inventory is being received. This warehouse inventory insurance is provided through a third-party insurer and STLW is not liable for the activities of this third-party insurer, the approval nor the denial of any claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the limit of our liability for this value added inventory insurance is the amount paid to STLW by a merchant for 1 month for warehouse inventory insurance.
11.5. Resolving Shipping Problems. Shipping problems for loss or damage must be resolved through outbound shipping insurance. Once a tracking number is listed in your Account, you agree that your only recourse for loss or damage is to file a claim with STLW’s designated outbound insurance provider, and that STLW has no liability therefore. In the event a shipment is mislabelled, or misshipped and consignee receives incorrect merchandise, STLW will at its discretion issue a call tag at no charge or credit your account for the estimated cost of a return shipping label, provided that STLW is notified within 30 days of shipment. It is your responsibility to ensure the product is returned. If the consignee fails to return the product, STLW’s maximum liability shall be for the product as specified in Section 11.12 below, and STLW shall have no liability for damages due to the consignee’s acceptance or use of the product. Orders are no longer editable or cancellable when they are submitted to a warehouse. It is your responsibility to manage orders, and hold, edit or cancel orders prior to submission to a warehouse. If STLW, at its sole discretion, attempts to edit or cancel an order on your behalf after submission to a warehouse, this effort is done on a best effort basis, may incur an additional fee, and may result in the order being reported cancelled but still shipping out. STLW reserves the right to edit dimensions and weight at its discretion, in order to ensure accurate shipping fees are billed to your account. STLW is only a broker of outbound shipping services. Third parties that handle outbound shipping are independent of STLW. STLW is in no way liable for outbound shipping.
11.6. Resolving Product and Packaging Problems. Product- and packaging-related problems must be resolved through the manufacturer. If there is a problem with your product or packaging, you agree that filing a claim with the product’s manufacturer is your only recourse, and that STLW has no liability therefore. STLW recommends new merchants send samples to themselves before shipping to their customers, to confirm there are no product or packaging problems. Lick ‘n Stick service is available to provide merchant with complete control over the product and packaging. Again STLW is in no way liable for product and packaging problems under any circumstances.
11.7. Resolving Problems beyond Receiving, Inventory, Product, Packaging and Shipping. If a dispute arises between you and STLW, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Disputes between you and STLW regarding our Services may be reported to STLW online by signing into your account, and visiting the Help Centre, or by calling STLW during normal business hours.
11.8. Mandatory Mediation and Arbitration of Disputes.

If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days from the date of the submission of the dispute to mediation (or such later date as the parties may mutually agree in writing), either party may commence legal proceedings. The mediation may continue, if the parties so agree, after the commencement of legal proceedings.

STLW further claims a lien on the goods for all such charges, advances and expenses in respect to any other property stored by you in any other warehouse affiliated with STLW or its subsidiaries wherever located and whenever deposited and without regard to whether or not said other property is still in storage.
11.11. No Waiver. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
11.12. Limitations of Liability.
