2. Additional Administrative Fees
Certain post-shipment or account-related situations may incur additional administrative charges:

return-to-sender costs, or other post-shipping charges or billing discrepancies will incur a
$15.00 administration fee per occurrence.

scenarios will be reduced to $5.00 per occurrence.
• Compliance & Legal Auditing: Account investigations, disputes, chargebacks, and
compliance reviews may result in administrative or recovery charges, including penalties,
loss recovery, or other reasonable costs plus any associated third-party fees or legal fees
assessed by ShipVia Couriers.
• Non-Refundability: All administrative fees are non-refundable once charged.
3. Coupons and Promotions
Coupon usage, logic, and behavior differ between general users and Volume Perks / Affiliate code
users.
a. Public Coupons
• Public or general-use coupons apply before taxes and Optional Add-ons to the base
ShipVia rates only.
• They cannot be combined with other offers, volume perks discounts, or promotions unless
explicitly stated otherwise.
• All coupon values or discounts may vary based on the localized platform domain (.ca or
.com) and are listed in CAD or USD accordingly.
b. Partner, Affiliate code users or Volume Perks user Coupons
• Volume Perks / Affiliate code Program: All eligible ShipVia Couriers users may participate
in the Volume Perks or Affiliate code Program. Coupons for these users will be strictly
limited, as they already have access to specialized base perks compared to general users.
When a coupon is explicitly allowed, the same structural rules as public coupons apply.
• Program Governance: The terms, benefits, and discount structures for such programs are
governed by the Volume Perks or Affiliate code User Agreement or other written
partnership documentation operating in conjunction with the ShipVia Couriers Master
Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
• Audit & Restrictions: All perks are subject to verification, usage limits, and program-
specific conditions. Unauthorized use, resale, or transfer of coupon or affiliate codes is
strictly prohibited and may result in immediate code cancellation, benefit reversal, or
account suspension.
c. Third-Party Promotions and Perks
From time to time, ShipVia Couriers users (both Volume perks /Affiliate code users and General
users) may participate in non-discount coupon promotions.
• Incentive Delivery: These promotional coupons will not reduce the base ShipVia shipping
rates directly; instead, a third-party incentive or Gift Card will be provided.
• Verification Delay: Gift Cards or incentives are usually issued 48 hours after shipment
generation and only upon successful verification of physical tracking or carrier scans.
• Validity: Gift cards or third-party incentives are valid only according to their specific
promotional conditions, expiration dates, or advertisements. Promotional rewards or
offers are time-limited and subject to strict verification before deployment.
4. Refunds Affecting Promotional Benefits
If a shipment benefited from a coupon, cashback, or promotional perk and is later cancelled or
voided:
• The associated promotional benefit, reward, or incentive will be rendered void.
• ShipVia Couriers reserves the right to revoke, cancel, or charge back the credited value of
the promotion to the customer’s original payment method or platform balance.
5. Discretion and Adjustments
ShipVia Couriers retains full operational discretion to:
• Modify, suspend, or discontinue any coupon, promotion, volume or tier perk, or
administrative fee structural rate at any time, with or without notice.
• Apply, waive, or reduce fees on a case-by-case basis based on business needs, strategic
partnerships, relationship history, or customer goodwill considerations.
• Correct errors or adjust ledger charges where reasonably necessary to maintain
operational fairness or alignment with internal policies.
6. Compliance and Interpretation
All policies herein are governed by the ShipVia Couriers Platform Master Terms and Conditions
and Privacy Policy, as applicable. ShipVia Couriers reserves the right to amend, update, or
interpret this policy at its sole discretion to ensure fair, secure, and consistent application across
all customer accounts.
