SERVICE AGREEMENT

Agreement & Acceptance
This Service Agreement (“Agreement”) governs all services provided by ShipToDR.com (“ShipToDR” or “Company”) to the Customer (“Shipper”). By booking, payment, tendering goods, communication, or pickup authorization, the Customer agrees to these terms. This is a legally binding contract.

Definitions
“Shipment” means all goods tendered for transport; “Consolidation” means combining shipments into one container; “Declared Value” is for customs only and not insurance; “Delivery Zone” means serviced areas in the Dominican Republic; “Damage” means loss or breakage reported within claim timelines.

Services Provided
ShipToDR.com provides pickup, warehousing, consolidation, ocean freight, customs coordination, and delivery. ShipToDR.com is a freight consolidator and not a common carrier, insurer, or customs broker, and may use third-party providers.

Delivery & Pickup Timing (No Guarantee)
All timelines are estimates only. Delays may result from weather, vessels, ports, customs, third parties, customer issues, or consolidation. Delays are not a breach and do not entitle refunds or compensation.

Pricing, Measurement & Payment
Charges are based on dimensions, volume, weight, contents, destination, and service level, in CAD. Shipments may be remeasured and charges adjusted. Additional fees may apply for oversized items, repacking, storage, customs costs, difficult delivery, or redelivery. Payment may be required before shipment or delivery.

Packaging Responsibility
The Customer is responsible for proper packing. ShipToDR.com is not liable for concealed damage, internal breakage, leakage, or missing contents in sealed packages.

Prohibited & Restricted Items
Customers must not ship prohibited items, including food, hazardous materials, illegal goods, cash, or valuables. ShipToDR.com may inspect, remove, dispose of, or report such items at the Customer’s expense.

Right to Refuse Service
ShipToDR.com may refuse service for reasonable, non-discriminatory reasons including safety, compliance, unpaid balances, or restrictions.

Inspection & Handling
ShipToDR.com may inspect, photograph, repackage, relabel, or consolidate shipments for operational, safety, customs, or compliance purposes.

Declared Value & Insurance
ShipToDR.com is not an insurer. Declared value is for customs only and does not increase liability. Customers should obtain third-party insurance for high-value shipments.

Customs Responsibility
The Customer is responsible for accurate declarations, legal compliance, and all duties, taxes, fines, and penalties. ShipToDR.com is not liable for customs-related issues.

Shipment Count & Contents
Shipments are tracked by handling units only. Contents inside sealed packages are not verified, and ShipToDR.com is not responsible for discrepancies.

Split Shipments
Shipments may be divided due to consolidation or operational requirements and may arrive separately.

Delivery Conditions
Delivery is curbside or to the front door depending on accessibility. The Customer must ensure safe access and be present. One (1) delivery attempt is included; additional attempts are subject to fees. Failure to be present may result in storage or rescheduling fees. ShipToDR.com is not responsible for damage inside the home. Signature, photo, or confirmation constitutes proof of delivery.

Customer Communication
The Customer must remain reachable. Failure to communicate may result in delays or additional charges.

Storage
Up to 30 days of storage is included. After that, storage fees of approximately $2–$3 per cubic foot per month may apply. Shipments unclaimed, unpaid, or undeliverable after 90 days may be deemed abandoned and disposed of or sold to recover costs.

Claims Procedure
Claims must be submitted to info@shiptodr.com with supporting documentation. Visible damage must be reported within 48 hours, concealed damage or missing contents within 5 days, and all claims within 9 months. Claims require photos, proof of value, delivery confirmation, and packaging. Failure to provide documentation or retain packaging may result in denial.

Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Ontario law, ShipToDR.com is not liable for indirect or consequential damages. Liability is limited to the lesser of $500 CAD per shipment, declared value, amount paid, or proven value of the damaged portion.

Indemnification
The Customer agrees to indemnify and hold ShipToDR.com harmless from any claims, damages, penalties, or costs arising from inaccurate declarations, prohibited items, customs issues, ownership disputes, or breach of this Agreement.

Abandoned Goods
Unpaid, refused, or unclaimed shipments may be deemed abandoned and stored, disposed of, or sold to recover costs.

Lien on Goods
ShipToDR.com has a lien on shipments for unpaid charges and may retain goods until payment is made.

Chargebacks & Collection
Unauthorized chargebacks may result in fees, collection actions, and legal costs.

Force Majeure
ShipToDR.com is not liable for delays or failures due to events beyond its control.

Privacy & Compliance
Customer information is handled in accordance with applicable laws, including PIPEDA, and may be shared to complete services.

Governing Law
