3.2 Service Level Agreement. FBMFulfillment’s current Service Level Agreement is attached as Exhibit A.

4. Compensation and Reimbursement for Services

4.1 15-30 Day Invoicing. FBMFulfillment will normally invoice Company within the first fifteen (15) days of the month for the previous month’s charges. Because FBMFulfillment does not require payment in advance and/or 15-day invoicing, like most competitors, payment terms are due on receipt. In the event that monthly financial exposure exceeds 50% of the liquidated value of the inventory, FBMFulfillment may, at its option, change the invoice cycle to bi-monthly or weekly. Invoice for Services shall serve as a receipt for the Company.

4.2 Product Invoicing. Any and all fees due for the cost of the Product and/or shipping shall be paid directly by the End-User to the Company. Under no circumstances shall FBMFulfillment accept, receive, or otherwise be held responsible for payments from an End-User made in exchange for the Product.

4.3 Late Payment Fee. If FBMFulfillment fails to receive payment from Company by the due date of the invoice, a late payment fee of 5% with a minimum of $30 may be applied to the invoice, unless the invoice is currently being disputed in writing in advance of the invoice due date. Withholding timely payment in excess of the disputed amount is not allowed and is subject to penalty.

4.4 Options and Ways to Pay. FBMFulfillment provides the Company with the convenience to pay invoices online through the Company’s account using the following payment methods: Bank Transfer and ACH transfer, subject to a 1.0% convenience fee; credit card, subject to a 3% convenience fee; PayPal, subject to a 4% convenience fee; or wire transfer, subject to a $25 fee within the United States. FBMFulfillment uses a third-party payment processing company and does not store payment information on its own servers. All Company payment information is stored with the third-party provider. If Company’s invoice remains unpaid for more than forty-five (45) days from the issue date, Company agrees that FBMFulfillment shall have the right to auto-charge any payment method that has been used in the past.

5. Title, Risk of Loss and Insurance

5.1 Title. Company hereby agrees that at no time during the period that Products are held by FBMFulfillment as Inventory in the Warehouse will FBMFulfillment hold title or any other rights of ownership in the Inventory. Title in Inventory will continue to be held by Company until such time as the Products are delivered to the End-User.

5.2 Risk of Loss. Company hereby agrees that at no time during the period that Products are held by FBMFulfillment as Inventory in the Warehouse will FBMFulfillment carry the risk of loss in the Inventory. Risk of loss in Inventory will continue to be held by Company until such time as the Products are delivered to the End-User. FBMFulfillment shall exercise commercially reasonable standards of care for all of Company’s Products in its possession but specifically disclaims liability of loss except for instances of gross negligence by FBMFulfillment.

5.3 Insurance. COMPANY HEREBY AGREES THAT IT IS COMPANY’S RESPONSIBILITY, AT ALL TIMES, TO MAINTAIN AN INSURANCE POLICY THAT COVERS THE COST OF THE PRODUCTS HELD IN INVENTORY. Legally, FBMFulfillment cannot insure something it does not own. Company has the option of adding the Warehouse as a designated storage location to Company’s general inventory policy. If requested by Company, FBMFulfillment shall allow premises inspection in order to assist Company in obtaining coverage. Polidan Inc’s insurance agent is https://ricciinsurancegroup.com, and Company may email noelle@ricciinsurancegroup.com. FBMFulfillment provides this referral as a courtesy only and makes no representation or warranty regarding the services provided by any third-party insurance provider.

5.4 No Insurance. Company may choose not to insure its inventory. In this event, FBMFulfillment will, under no circumstances, be liable for any loss or damage to inventory stored at FBMFulfillment facilities, including but not limited to theft, misuse, fire, natural disaster, or any other event.

6. Company’s Account

6.1 Services Available Through the Account. Subject to Company’s compliance with this Agreement, FBMFulfillment shall perform the Services described in this Agreement as selected and authorized by Company in the Account and described on Exhibit A attached hereto. Company may order Services through the Account (“FBMFulfillment Services Orders”). All FBMFulfillment Services Orders are deemed incorporated into, and governed by, this Agreement. By using the Services, Company acknowledges and agrees that FBMFulfillment operates as a third-party warehouse and broker of shipping services, accepting shipments from, and making shipments to, third parties. FBMFulfillment is an independent contractor for all purposes and only acts as the agent of Company with respect to FBMFulfillment’s custody of the Products in its Inventory.

6.2 FBMFulfillment Services Estimates. Quotes for third-party fees are for informational purposes only and are subject to change without notice and shall not under any circumstances be binding upon FBMFulfillment. Final rates and service fees may vary based upon the shipment actually tendered, the work actually performed, or factors such as carrier shipping prices, the actual characteristics of the Products, the delivery location, and 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 and Currency Fluctuations. FBMFulfillment reserves the right to adjust its pricing for Services, with thirty (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. After the first 120 days, FBMFulfillment reserves the right to charge a minimum monthly fee. FBMFulfillment often waives such minimum fees for the initial startup period, up to 365 days, to allow the Company to get established. All dollar amounts stated in this Agreement will be in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified.

6.4 Usage Fee Disputes. Should Company disagree with any Usage Fees, other than carrier or third-party fees, invoiced or charged against the Account, Company must submit written notice to FBMFulfillment within thirty (30) days of the invoice date (“Dispute Period”). FBMFulfillment will not review customer requests for Usage Fee adjustments that are received after the Dispute Period.

6.5 Abandoned Account and Liquidation. If Company’s Usage Fees or third-party fees remain unpaid for a period greater than thirty (30) days, FBMFulfillment reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reclassify Company’s Account as an “Abandoned Account.” Any Account that remains unpaid for greater than sixty (60) days will automatically be deemed an Abandoned Account. Before reclassifying or liquidating any Account, FBMFulfillment shall provide Company with at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to the email address on file, giving Company an opportunity to cure the outstanding balance or arrange for retrieval of its Inventory. 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 third-party fees, as well as any reasonable expenses incurred by FBMFulfillment for preservation and storage of the Inventory or its sale. Inventory will become immediately unavailable to Company, and liquidation proceedings will begin. Company agrees that all Inventory liquidated shall be sold at the absolute discretion of FBMFulfillment, free and clear of liability, and that Company assumes any liability therefor. 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, Company will remain liable for any pending Usage Fees and third-party fees above and beyond the liquidation proceeds.

EXHIBIT A Service Level Agreement (SLA)

 

Ontime Shipment

FBMFulfillment Shall ship 99.5% or better of Direct to Consumer orders received by 2:00pm local time M-F the same day.  Carrier Holidays, Acts of god, Client holds, credit holds, quality issues or carrier pickup issues are beyond the control of FBMFulfillment and are exceptions to this policy.

Order Accuracy

FBMFulfillment shall maintain 100% accuracy in fulfilling orders correctly with the items as listed on the order in the WMS system via barcode scanning verification. Product labeling errors, omissions and externally caused record corruption are exempt.  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 and Breakage

FBMFulfillment shall maintain a breakage rate of less than 1% due to improper packaging, including products shifting and/or lack of wrapping. [This has never been an issue]

Claims for goods damaged during the shipping process will be submitted directly to the carrier and will not count toward the allotted breakage rate. It is the Company’s responsibility to mark 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, or 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 and Shrinkage Allowance

FBMFulfillment uses barcode reading technology extensively to ensure inventory accuracy. This is why Company’s Goods, including both individual units and master cartons, must be properly labeled with barcodes by the supplier. Improper labeling or mislabeling voids FBMFulfillment’s accuracy commitment. FBMFulfillment is not responsible for Goods damaged at receipt.

Shrinkage (Uncommon):

Shrinkage of Goods while under FBMFulfillment’s care is rare, and FBMFulfillment maintains stringent operational protocols to minimize inventory loss.

Unit Liability Cap: Unless a superseding addendum is agreed to in writing by the Parties, FBMFulfillment’s liability for any individual unit of Inventory shall be limited to $10.00 per unit.

Standard Allowance: FBMFulfillment will maintain an Inventory Accuracy Rate of 99.5% for all Goods held 180 days or less.

Aged Goods Scale: For Goods held longer than 180 days, the Shrinkage Allowance increases according to the following schedule:

  • 0 to 180 Days: 0.5% Shrinkage Allowance (99.5% Accuracy Target).
  • 181 to 360 Days: 1.0% Shrinkage Allowance (99.0% Accuracy Target).
  • 361+ Days (Obsolete): +1.0% for each additional 180 days.

FBMFulfillment is only liable for missing or damaged Goods that exceed the applicable tier’s allowance.

Valuation of Loss: Reimbursement for losses exceeding the allowance will be calculated at Factory Cost minus 10% per year of age. Client must provide validated invoice evidence. Liability is limited to items received as Single SKU Master cartons. SKU quantity variances offset for claim purposes.

Receiving and Put Away

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 require a dock appointment and must be noticed via provided spreadsheets two (2) 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, may 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.
