Quotes for 3rd party fees are for informational purposes only and are subject to change without Notice and shall not under any circumstances be binding upon FBMFulfillment. 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 the Products, the delivery location, among other variations occurring in the ordinary course of business. In the event FBMFulfillment incurs additional charges from carriers, these charges will be passed along to the Company.
6.3 Pricing Changes & Currency Fluctuations. FBMFulfillment reserves the right to adjust its pricing for its Services, with 30 days’ notice via publication on the FBMFulfillment website and/or directly to the Company due to market forces and/or in response to currency fluctuations, including but not limited to, currency conversion rate changes, conversion fee changes, and/or discount rate changes.

Upon an Account becoming an Abandoned Account, Company immediately forfeits its rights of ownership of such Company’s Inventory up to the cumulative amount necessary for payment of all Usage Fees and 3rd Party Fees as well as any reasonable expenses incurred by FBMFulfillment for the preservation and storage of the Inventory or its sale. Inventory will become immediately unavailable to Company, and liquidation proceedings would begin. Company agrees that all Inventory liquidated shall be sold at the absolute discretion of FBMFulfillment and would be free and clear of liability, and that Company assumes any liability therefore. Company has no rights to any liquidation proceeds arising from an Abandoned Account unless the amounts recovered through liquidation exceed the cumulative amount necessary for payment as stated above. Should the amounts recovered through liquidation be insufficient to cover the cumulative amounts above, the Company would remain liable for any pending Usage Fees and 3rd Party Fees above and beyond the liquidation proceeds.

Upon the expiration of the 30 day cure period, a 30 day wind down of the Company Account shall commence (“Termination Notice Period”). Company may have full or limited use of the Account during the Termination Notice Period for the sole purpose of winding down its use of the account in a commercially reasonable manner. Any Product inventory that remains in FBMFulfillment’s inventory at the expiration of the Termination Notice Period will be shipped to Company at the address on file and, if address is not on file, the billing address on Company’s credit card, at Company’s expense. If no address is available or no balance is available to pay for shipment back to the Company, FBMFulfillment will liquidate the Product inventory in accordance with an Abandoned Account.
6.8 Additional Actions. If Company is in breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, FBMFulfillment may close, put on hold, or limit access to the Account or the Services.

EXHIBIT A
Service Level Agreement
Order Accuracy
FBMFulfillment shall maintain 100% accuracy in fulfilling the orders correctly with the items listed on FBMFulfillment dashboard. If replacement shipments are required due to an error on the part of FBMFulfillment, FBMFulfillment will pay the lesser of the return postage or replacement value of incorrect items shipped, waive all fees on the replacement order, and re-ship the order.
Fragile Wrapping & Breakage
FBMFulfillment shall maintain a <1% breakage rate due to improper packaging (e.g. products shifting and/or lack of wrapping). Claims for goods damaged during the shipping process will be submitted directly to the carrier and not count towards the allotted breakage rate noted above. It is the Company’s responsibility to mark the SKUs as fragile in the FBMFulfillment app for breakage to be tracked and accounted for.
Breakage will be evaluated on a monthly basis and the number of orders that exceed the designated allowance will be credited the average replacement cost (i.e. declared value) of the products damaged in excess of 1% and waive all fees on the replacement order as outlined in the “Order Accuracy” section.
Inventory Accuracy
Due to good faith receiving (i.e. not counting each individual unit) and relying on supplier information noted on the inbound shipments, FBMFulfillment cannot ensure accuracy of inventory counts. Although inner cartons are not opened to account for every unit, cases and pallets are counted as an additional level of verification. FBMFulfillment will limit its liability up to $10/unit for full cartons that are missing after they were received and accounted for in our system. A valid purchase order and proof of payment must be provided before any credit is issued.
FBM Verified Inventory
For an additional charge, Company can enroll in our “FBM Verified Inventory” program. FBMFulfillment will then increase the liability up to $250/unit if there is any inventory shrink after the inventory is counted in full upon receiving.
Receiving
FBMFulfillment shall receive and put-away inventory within three business days provided its published receiving guidelines have been followed. Receipts larger than thirty (30) cartons, four (4) pallets, and containers must be noticed via provided spreadsheets five (5) business days prior to the inventory arriving to ensure receiving commitments can be met.
If the inventory does not meet these guidelines, FBMFulfillment at its sole discretion can reject the inventory or the Company’s shipments may be delayed and Company agrees FBMFulfillment shall not be held liable for any loss or damage as a result of such delay.
