You (hereinafter “Customer”) agree to and acknowledge the following with respect to any services ordered by you or on your behalf from TripHero LLC (hereinafter “TripHero”):

RECITALS
TripHero provides luggage and sports equipment shipping services and Customer desires to utilize these services. TripHero is willing to offer its services to Customer in accordance with the terms of this agreement and the operating rules or policies published by TripHero.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, TripHero will arrange and manage luggage and sports equipment shipping services. TripHero reserves the right to at its sole discretion refuse, cancel, terminate, or hold any shipment when, in TripHero’s judgment, the shipment or requested shipment may not comply with the terms of this agreement, is undeliverable, is unfit for shipment, could be easily damaged, and/or may contain possible dangerous, regulated, or illegal items. TripHero will make all commercially reasonable efforts to manage all necessary customer service functions and logistics arrangements, including coordination and oversight of contracted shipping and transportation companies, providing that the Customer provides timely and accurate information when available, concerning the shipment. Customer agrees that TripHero may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the services at any time without notice to Customer, in which case TripHero shall not be liable to Customer or any third party. Customer further agrees that services are subject to all terms and conditions imposed by shipping and transportation companies contracted by TripHero to transport shipment(s), including but not limited to, any transportation agreements, applicable tariffs, other rules or procedures or terms and conditions described on such companies’ websites,

RATES
Rates generated on the TripHero website or by a TripHero customer service representative are based upon the information provided by the Customer at the time of inquiry. Final rates will be based upon actual weights and dimensions of each suitcase, box, or case (hereinafter each an “Item” and collectively “Items”) that is shipped and will be verified during the shipment process. Dimensions are calculated from the widest point of each side. If the actual weight or dimensions of any shipped Item exceeds the maximum allowed for the quoted Item category, rates may adjust to reflect the next largest available Item category. If a larger category does not exist, additional charges will be prorated for the weight or dimension exceeding the maximum allowed in the largest category. Customer is responsible for all fees charged by a pickup or delivery location, such as a hotel or resort, or authorized drop off location for handling the shipment. All services are not available in all areas. Rates are subject to change without notice.

PACKAGING
All customers are required to adequately package the contents of their shipments with the necessary protective material to prevent damage or loss. Bicycles must be packaged in hard-sided (rigid plastic, heavy corrugated cardboard or similar). TripHero will in no way be liable for insufficiently packed or secured items, including, but not limited to, items that are protruding, exposed, or inadequately secured in side or peripheral pockets or compartments of any luggage. All Items must have a shipping label provided by TripHero securely attached to the outside of each Item and all Items must have a copy of the shipping label placed inside. Failure to perform these actions may result in a delay of service or a complete loss of your Item and will void any warranties expressly provided to you herein. Customer may contact TripHero for further information on acceptable packaging guidelines.

LOCKING YOUR ITEMS
Domestic Shipments. Items traveling within a single country must be locked. Failure to lock Items will void Customer’s right to file a claim for lost or missing contents of Items.
International Shipments. Items traveling between two countries must be unlocked as Items may have to be opened as a normal part of the Customs screening process. If Customer locks or otherwise seals an Item and Customs cannot open Item through other means, then the lock or seal may have to be broken. TripHero is not liable for damage caused to locked sealed Items that must be opened for security or Customs screening purposes. Locking any Item traveling internationally can cause extended delays and will void any warranties expressly provided to you herein.

CANCELLATIONS AND CHANGES
TripHero is aware that travel schedules can change and will make every reasonable effort to minimize fees resulting from cancellations and scheduling changes.

Cancellations. TripHero will refund all charges for cancellations made within forty-eight (48) hours of booking. Customers wishing to cancel a booking after such time, may receive a full credit toward their next booking only; provided, however, that bookings cancelled within three (3) business days of the scheduled Item pick-up date will not be credited or refunded and will be forfeited in their entirety.

Changes. Changes to pickup dates are allowed, without fees, if made at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to the original scheduled pickup time. Changes made between seventy-two (72) hours and twenty-four (24) hours prior to the original scheduled pickup date may be assessed a $25.00 administrative fee in addition to any difference in rate. Changes made within twenty-four (24) hours of pickup date may be assessed an administrative fee of greater than $25 in addition to any difference in rate.

INDEMNITY
Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold TripHero and its owners, officers, directors, shareholders, workers, clients, and agents harmless from all claims, demands, causes of actions, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to your acts or omissions in connection with your use of this website or any of the TripHero’s Services, including but not limited to, your shipment of any Disallowed Goods as defined below.

SIGNATURE RELEASE
Items may be delivered without a signature if, in the sole discretion of the delivery driver, the Item(s) will be safe and protected from the weather. It is the responsibility of the Customer to request that Item(s) require a signature for delivery at the time of booking. Once any Item is delivered, TripHero is not responsible for any Item delivered without signature. If an Item is delivered to a business, a signature may be required for delivery. TripHero will not be liable for delayed Items due to a business being closed, or the absence or refusal of a person to sign for the Item.

ADDRESS INFORMATION
TripHero is not responsible for delay or loss of any Item resulting from incorrect, incomplete, or invalid address information provided by the Customer. The Customer will be responsible for any charges associated with correcting or changing address information and/or charges associated with returning undeliverable items to the origin address.

VALUE PROTECTION

Nor shall TripHero be liable for damage to shipping containers, e.g., suitcases, luggage, bags, or boxes, incurred in transit. Customer must notify TripHero of a lost or missing Item in a timely manner, which shall not exceed seven (7) business days from the scheduled delivery date. The actual claims process time will vary on a case-by-case basis. TripHero’s maximum liability for a lost or missing shipment is limited to the actual cash value of any Item, which shall not exceed $500.00, unless the Customer declares a higher value and purchased commensurate insurance coverage in advance of the Item being shipped and documents any actual loss or damage in a timely manner. TripHero is no in way liable or responsible for any losses or damages to Items left unattended while waiting for pickup or property left unattended after delivery.

Only one claim can be filed in connection with each Item. Acceptance of payment of a claim shall extinguish any further right to recover in connection with that Item. This value protection does not constitute, nor do we provide, cargo liability insurance, or any other type of insurance. It does not cover, and TripHero is in no way liable, for any subsequent losses resulting from damaged or lost Items or any of the costs incurred with replacement of those goods.

TripHero is not responsible for delays due to factors beyond TripHero’s control including but not limited to, direct or indirect, acts of God, the unavailability or refusal of a person to accept delivery of the shipment; acts of public authorities acting with actual or apparent authority; acts or omissions of customs or similar authorities; insufficient information provided by a customer; hazardous materials packages improperly offered for transport; improperly packaged liquids or gels that leak and damage surrounding items; the application of security regulations imposed by the government, or otherwise applicable to the shipment; riots, strikes or other labor disputes; civil unrest; disruptions in air or ground transportation networks; natural disasters; incomplete or incorrect address information; delay or seizure by Customs or similar authority; severe weather; and/or failure of delivery equipment. Shipment delays due to these occurrences void all responsibility and liability of TripHero.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, TripHero will provide to the Customer, free of charge, reasonably comparable clothing and/or sporting equipment until the day the delayed shipment arrives.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS

Customer is responsible for supplying TripHero with the complete contents contained in an Item. All documents and images provided to TripHero must be clear and legible. Any duties, taxes or other fees incurred during the Customs process will be passed on to the Customer. Fees may be charged to Customer’s credit card given during booking or may be billed directly from third party Customs brokerage or shipping company. If a shipment is delayed by Customs or similar authority, TripHero will make every possible effort to resolve the issue and have the Item released, yet Customs delays are out of the realm of TripHero’s immediate authority. TripHero will not be liable for any losses resulting from delays that occur due to Customs inspections for international shipments. Shipments delayed due to Customs or similar authorities during international shipments will not be covered under the Delayed Shipments Warranty. You acknowledge that any goods shipped by TripHero are subject to confiscation by United States and foreign Customs officials and other similar agencies.
