Upon submitting an Order via the Site, ShopandBox will assign a Boxer to the Order based on Boxer availability, capacity and geographical location. ShopandBox may assign a Boxer based on Shopper request only if all of the above stated criteria are satisfied. ShopandBox reserves the right to re-assign an Order to a different Boxer. A Boxer also has the right to reject an Order assigned to them. ShopandBox will endeavour to re- assign your Order to the next available Boxer. Whilst ShopandBox endeavour to find a Boxer to help fulfil your Order, you agree and accept that there may be instances where this may not be possible.
For special or limited edition items that require extraordinary effort to procure, you agree to the Shopper Boxer Negotiated Fee conditions set out within these Terms should you wish to proceed with the Order. ShopandBox reserves the right to reject requests for special or limited edition items at our sole discretion. Shoppers acknowledge that by placing an Order through the Site, you agree to pay ShopandBox the ‘Total Cost of Items (including Tax & Domestic Shipping)’ confirmed by your Boxer in Invoice 1 including any relevant payment gateway transaction / handling fee. This payment must be paid within the Boxer stipulated timeframe before your assigned Boxer purchases the goods and products on your behalf. Boxers agree to purchase the items within the stipulated time-frame once 100% of funds have been received for Invoice 1 from ShopandBox, and are responsible for accurately inputting details at point of order from a merchant. By paying for Invoice 1, you agree that you have checked and agreed to the accuracy and correctness of the product details and the associated item cost set out in the Order. Boxers agree to accurately quantify and log the weight of items as well as the shipment box dimensions on the Site to calculate the appropriate Shipping cost amount. Boxer will notify the Shopper when they have received the products and goods and advise you of the possible shipping options and actual shipping/handling costs. Boxers are not tax / customs / duties specialists and may only advise Shoppers according to the best of their knowledge and ability. Shoppers are advised to seek confirmation from the destination country’s customs department of any duties or taxes before purchasing. Shoppers acknowledge that to receive the items ordered, they agree to pay the relevant ShopandBox Service Fee and Shipping costs in Invoice 2 and fees associated with any payment gateways within the stipulated timeframe. Your assigned Boxer will ship your items to you or a location authorised/directed by yourself as outlined in the following section. In the event that Invoice 2 has not been paid for more than 60 days by Shopper after multiple notifications, Boxers will donate items away in the order. This is due to the storage space constraints for Boxers. Boxers agree to ensure that products and goods ordered on behalf of the Shopper are correctly sent to the address stipulated by the Shopper on the Order page, including name, phone number and exact address. As a Shopper, you agree that the shipping address assigned to your Order is accurate and correct. In the event that a Shopper has provided an incorrect address that is not accepted by the logistics provider, any additional return and re-forwarding shipping costs are to be borne by the Shopper. Shoppers agree that delays will result as a consequent of this. Shoppers can amend the shipping address up until Invoice 2 is paid. Shipping addresses cannot be amended after Invoice 2 has been paid. In the event a Boxer purchases the incorrect item on behalf of the Shopper either by (i) failure to purchase the item as per the item characteristics on the order page and/or (ii) not providing a picture of the item that clearly displays or confirms the item characteristic to the Shopper, the Shopper reserves the right to request for the item to be returned / exchanged for the correct item as per the characteristics on the order page. The return shipping cost (including any relevant merchant restocking fees) is therefore, borne by the Boxer. Item receipts, both electronic and paper (where available and provided to the Boxer by the merchant) will be made available to the Shopper upon request only for up to 30 days from the time of product purchase. For repeat consolidate orders of low value (below USD100), Boxers may at their own discretion request a Shopper Boxer negotiated fee for multiple consolidate order requests to cover their time and effort. Purchase Transaction between Shopper, Boxer & ShopandBox ShopandBox provides an online platform that facilitates the interaction and transaction between the Shopper(s) and Boxer(s). A Boxer is based in a specific geographical location / country and enables a Shopper from a different geographical location / country to purchase goods via the Boxer in the Boxer’s geographical location / country. All domestic deliverables made to the Boxer address must be verified on their ShopandBox Boxer Account, before being delivered to a delivery address stipulated by the Shopper. The Shopper is solely responsible for selecting and ordering the product via their assigned Boxer. ShopandBox does not hold any inventory and as such: 1. ShopandBox makes no representations, warranties or guarantees regarding the quality or suitability of the products you order; 2. ShopandBox holds limited liability for the failure of a Boxer to ship to your ShopandBox address or to fulfil your order, 3. ShopandBox will mediate disputes between Shoppers and Boxers as per the disputes resolution process laid out in these Term; 4. ShopandBox does not hold any liability for any defects in any products you purchase, or any injury or damage that any product may cause, or for any other failure of the product to meet your expectations; 5. ShopandBox may provide recommendations to Shoppers, however, it is the sole responsibility of the Shopper to make the appropriate decision that is best for their needs; ShopandBox does not handle communications with merchants regarding product exchanges due to defects, incorrectly purchased items (either by Boxer or directed by Shopper) or change of mind purchases. In the event of change of mind purchases, the Service Fee still applies (if the item has been ordered by your assigned Boxer and can be refunded by the merchant minus any merchant restocking fees and/or domestic shipping fees) and is borne by the Shopper; any refunds back to the Shopper may incur payment gateway transaction fees if it is more than 55 days from when the invoice payment was made. 6. If after delivery to you, you determine that any product is defective or does not otherwise meet with your expectations, you agree that you will hold ShopandBox and the Boxer harmless from any liability and will seek any remedies solely from the seller. Receiving Products Neither ShopandBox nor the Boxer are liable for products lost or damaged in transit from the merchant or sender to the assigned Boxer address. The Boxer reserves the right to refuse delivery if, upon inspection of the outside of the package, it is obvious that the product is damaged or incomplete. In such a case, the Boxer will return the product to the sender and notify the Shopper to expect potential delays. ShopandBox and Boxer cannot be held accountable for any manufacturing issues for items sent by the store/retailer of the shopper's choosing. For damaged items - Shoppers must send photographic evidence of damaged items and packaging within 24 hours of receiving their items. For any shipping option chosen where there is no full international and domestic tracking, ShopandBox and Boxer are not responsible or liable for missing packages. In the event that a package is delayed beyond the timeframe stipulated by the logistics company, it is the responsibility of the Boxer and the Shopper to contact the respective logistics company. The Boxer has the right to open and inspect any products (unless explicitly advised otherwise by the Shopper), for security purposes or to verify compliance with the product description and other information, unless the item itself is sealed. However ShopandBox and the Boxer have no duty or responsibility to inspect packages for non-obvious damage or breakage, and we do not accept responsibility for the accuracy of product descriptions and other information provided by the Shopper.
By paying for Invoice 2, the Shopper confirm that they have seen and approved of the items purchased from pictures / photographs of the items sent to the Shopper by their assigned Boxer. In the event the Shopper elects not to have the package(s) open for inspection, the Shopper agrees to take the product as-is and ShopandBox and the assigned Boxer will not be liable for any potential damages to the products held within the package. In the event the Shopper wishes to minimise international shipping fee options, the assigned Boxer will endeavour to re-package and consolidate products into an optimum shipping package. This may result in a change between the estimated shipping rate and the actual shipping rate, whereby any savings in the actual shipping rate is passed onto the Shopper. ShopandBox and your assigned Boxer are not liable to absorb any increases from the estimated shipping rate to the actual shipping rate. In the event that Invoice 2 has not been paid for more than 60 days by Shopper after multiple notifications, Boxers will donate items away in the order. This is due to storage space constraints for Boxers. By paying for Invoice 2, the Shopper agrees to the actual international shipping rate provided for the Order. Boxers endeavour to minimise international shipping fee options for the Shopper by re-packing and consolidating products into an optimum shipping package (unless otherwise stipulated by the Shopper).
For any shipping chosen where an insured shipping option was not selected and paid for, ShopandBox and Boxer is not responsible for any damage to items within the order during transit from the Boxer to the Shopper’s stipulated address. ShopandBox may investigate each order claim by Shoppers on a case by case basis. Shoppers are required to provide full details of the state of their order and products and provide visual evidence to support their claims. You agree and understand that your assigned Boxer may be located in a different geographical location with a different time zone to yourself. You also agree and understand that Boxers have their own personal schedule outside ShopandBox and that communication and agreement is required between Boxer and Shopper to manage expectations and commit to a specific shopping requirement. In the event that the Boxer does not follow through with the agreed commitment and expectation despite explicit communication from the Shopper – the Boxer may be liable to compensate for or absorb the service fee and/or the shipping fee for the Order impacted. Boxers and Shoppers agree to adhere to the dispute resolution guideline set out in these Terms. Fees, Payment & Financial Terms Financial Terms for Shoppers A product cost may increase or decrease after a Boxer confirms the product with the merchant / supplier. If the price of any item goes up by less than or equal to USD$5 or 5% (whichever is lesser), ShopandBox will not absorb the difference and the Boxer will proceed to purchase the item. The price difference will be collected in Invoice 2. In the event the price of any item goes up by more than US$5 or 5%, the assigned Boxer will request for Shopper permission to purchase the product. During sale periods or time sensitive discount events where items are limited in availability, Shoppers agree to communicate upfront of their price tolerances / range. In the event that a Shopper retracts from an Order (after Invoice 1 is paid or after Invoice 2 is paid but the package has not yet been shipped to the Shopper), if the product or goods can be returned to the merchant or sender for a refund – the refund will be passed onto the Shopper (minus the Service Fee plus any merchant restocking fees or return domestic shipping fees). In the event that a Shopper retracts from an Order (after Invoice 2 is paid, and the package is en- route to the Shopper or has already been delivered to the Shopper), if the product or goods can be returned to the merchant or sender for a refund – the refund will be passed onto the Shopper (minus the Service Fee plus any merchant restocking fees or return domestic and international shipping fees). Boxers reserve the right to apply an additional Shopper Boxer Negotiated Fee for their time and effort. Any refunds back to the Shopper may incur payment gateway transaction fees if it is more than 55 days from when the invoice payment was made. Shoppers are responsible for the costs and fees associated with sending/withdrawing funds and any foreign currency exchange and transaction fees applicable to the chosen payment gateway. Financial Terms for Boxers Boxers are solely responsible for honouring any purchase of products, goods or items paid for by the Shopper after the payment of Invoice 1. Boxers are also solely responsible for honouring the shipment of products, goods or items paid for by the Shopper after the payment of Invoice 2 (including any relevant payment gateway fees). In the event that a Boxer is unable to fulfil the Order, the Boxer agrees to refund ShopandBox the full amount including all fees (depending on the Status of the order). Boxers are compensated for their time and effort on the first week of the following month based on the percentage of the value of orders completed in the previous month. ShopandBox reserves the right to amend the Boxer compensation scheme at its sole discretion. As a requirement, Boxers must have an account or have direct access to the selected payment gateway of ShopandBox’s choice. Boxer compensation are deposited via this selected payment gateway. Boxers are responsible for the costs and fees associated with sending/withdrawing funds from any foreign currency exchange and transaction fees applicable to the chosen payment gateway. Boxers understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining: (i) the applicable Tax reporting requirements; (ii) reporting any personal tax requirements to their tax authorities in their country of residence and (ii) the Taxes that should be included, and for including Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in fulfilling Orders on behalf of Shoppers. Boxers are solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any Taxes included or received by you. ShopandBox cannot and does not offer Tax related advice. ShopandBox Service Fee In consideration for the use of the ShopandBox online platform and Boxer network, ShopandBox charges a Service Fee. For Online Orders, the ShopandBox Service Fee is calculated based on total cost of items in an Order (not including Tax and Domestic Shipping). If a Shopper adds new items to the Order (before Invoice 1 is paid) or if the Order is consolidated/merged with another (only for orders in the same Order Status), the ShopandBox Service Fee is re-calculated based on the new (merged) ‘Total Cost of Items (not including Tax and Domestic Shipping)’. For In Store Orders, the ShopandBox Service Fee is calculated based on the value of Invoice 1 plus the Shopper Boxer Negotiated Fee. ShopandBox reserves the right to amend the calculation of the ShopandBox Service Fee structure (both Online and In Store) and the minimum service fee per order. Any Orders submitted prior to any ShopandBox fee structure changes will be honoured at the Invoice 1 payment. Payment Gateway Fees Any payment gateway fees to remit are applied solely to facilitate the transfer of funds between Shoppers and Boxers around the world. These fees are non-negotiable and are pre-determined by the payment gateway provider and may be subject to change without prior notice. In-Store (Shopper Boxer Negotiated Fees) or Special Orders In-store or special orders attract a Shopper Boxer Negotiated Fee as it requires extra effort by the Boxer. The assigned Boxers are free to charge a negotiable fee (within reason) with the Shopper to cover their time, effort and transportation and/or costs associated when purchasing special or limited edition item orders. The Shopper Boxer Negotiated Fee is included as part of Invoice 2 and must be paid before the Boxer ships the products and goods to the Shopper. In the event the assigned Boxer is unable to source or purchase in-store or special order items (and time and effort has been expended to do so), the Shopper Boxer Negotiated Fee still apply. Shoppers will be refunded the total cost of items (Invoice 1) minus the Shopper Boxer Negotiated Fee. In the spirit of peer to peer shopping, ShopandBox will not charge the Service Fee. Any refunds back to the Shopper may incur payment gateway transaction fees if it is more than 55 days from when the invoice payment was made. Subscription Products For Orders on a subscription package, on the first Order, the Shopper is invoiced for the whole subscription cost (including any domestic shipping and taxes) as part of Invoice 1. Invoice 2 is comprised of the Service Fee (calculated based on the cost of the whole subscription) and International Shipping costs to the Shopper (calculated for the first issue only). Boxers are to notify Shoppers each time a new subscription issue is received by the Boxer. Shoppers must generate a new Order on the Site for each issue. Shoppers are invoiced the ‘Minimum Service Fee’ plus the cost of international shipping the individual issue to the Shopper. This step is to be repeated for every issue until the end of the subscription period. Please refer to the FAQ for an illustrative view of this process. Boxers are to immediately notify ShopandBox if they are unable to service the rest of the subscription period. ShopandBox will re-assigned your subscription order to the next logical and available Boxer. Insurance Fees Insurance is recommended and it is the responsibility of the Shopper to check with their assigned Boxer that the insurance is applied if required. Voucher Codes ShopandBox may, at our sole discretion, create voucher codes that may be redeemed for service fee discounts or international shipping fee discounts, subject to any additional terms that ShopandBox establishes on a per voucher code basis. You agree that voucher codes: (i) must be used for the intended account and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public (whether posted to a public forum or otherwise), unless explicitly permitted by ShopandBox; (iii) may be disabled by ShopandBox at any time for any reason without liability to ShopandBox; (iv) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that ShopandBox establishes for such voucher code; (v) are not valid for cash; and (vi) may expire prior to your use.

Payment Processing & Errors ShopandBox will take necessary steps to rectify any payment processing errors that we are aware of on the ShopandBox platform end. Any payment processing errors that are outside ShopandBox platform controls (for example, blocked Shopper/Boxer credit cards, Shopper financial institution payment issues or payment gateway technical problems etc.) are outside ShopandBox responsibility and jurisdiction. You acknowledge and agree that for payments processed via third-party payment gateways, you are bound by the terms and conditions set out by such entities unless explicitly expressed herein. Duties & Taxes Duties and taxes may be imposed on the package depending on the destination country. Any applicable duties and taxes are the responsibility of the Shopper. Shoppers may use third party public sites like Duty Calculator to determine any potential duties/taxes imposed. ShopandBox Calculator ShopandBox calculates the cost of the International Shipping/Handling for Orders based on a number of factors which may include, but not limited to: changes in logistics company shipping rates; fluctuations in fuel surcharge rates imposed by the logistics company; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; differences between estimated and actual package weights; the use of volumetric weight calculations for bulky, lightweight packages; the chargeable weight (volumetric or gross, whichever is greatest) that determines the shipping cost; fees for oversized boxes exceeding logistics company standard dimensions; and/or additional local delivery charges if the delivery address is in a remote geographic area. These factors may change without notice. Disputes & Resolution Shoppers and Boxers agree that at the first point of a dispute or resolution that both parties make attempts to resolve the issue through clear and calm communication. Shoppers and Boxers agree that any disputes, claims or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or the use of the Site or Services (known as “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, negotiation and mediation between relevant parties managed by ShopandBox. Shoppers are to communicate with their assigned Boxers as the first point of contact for disputes or issues. ShopandBox will provide relevant advice or remediation options to both parties on a case by case basis. Disputes arising outside the use of the Site and Services are beyond ShopandBox control and are not bounded by these Terms.
