Each of us and you may be referred to as a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”.

These Service Terms will apply from the date that you finish Shopify Markets Pro Activation and shall remain in effect until terminated in accordance with these Service Terms.

Additionally, you agree to be bound by all other terms and conditions contained or otherwise expressly referenced in these Service Terms. You also agree that you are subject to and will comply with any terms and conditions that govern the use of any services offered by Shopify through which the Commerce Platform and the Services are made available.

In addition, you must carefully review the Terms of Sale governing the sale to the Shopper (as defined below).

We reserve the right to update and change these Service Terms from time to time by posting the updates and amendments here. You are advised to regularly check for such updates or any changes that may impact you. If you do not accept such amendments, you must cease using the Services.

1.              SERVICES; ONBOARDING

1.1            The offering and services performed pursuant to these Service Terms as fully set out herein (the “Services” or sometimes also referred to in singular as the “Service”), will be enabled by the MOR application, available for installation via Shopify Settings > Markets > Apply to Markets Pro (“MOR Application”). As part of the Services, we will provide required know-how, merchant support services, and web-based admin console (“Console”).

1.2            The Global-e Contracting Party, acting as the merchant of record, will sell products that are made available for cross-border sale over the internet on your Shopify web store hosted by Shopify (“Products” and "Store" respectively), directly to individual customers (“Shopper(s)”) who have initiated a transaction in respect of such Products on the Store and who desire to have the purchased Products delivered to Shopper’s designated address, which address is outside the US (“Destination(s)”). You will set the Destinations operated by the Service through the Commerce Platform. The Shopper will be the “importer of record” of the Products he or she purchases and we will cause the required documents to properly reflect that.

1.3            Onboarding; KYC. We will have the right, at any time while these Service Terms are in effect, to conduct a standard AML/KYC validation and you will be required to reasonably cooperate with such process, and provide such documents as we require in order to satisfy our compliance and legal obligations. We may terminate these Service Terms and the Services without any fault on our end if we are unable to satisfy our AML/KYC controls, acting reasonably, or if you fail to cooperate with our reasonable KYC requests from time to time.

2.              SETUP; CONFIGURATIONS

2.1            MOR Application; API. You must enable the MOR Application before the Services can be accessed, activated and used. Neither we nor Shopify will be obligated to render or perform any Service if the MOR Application was not properly installed and enabled, and further will not be required to make any changes or developments to the MOR Application or the features supported through the Service, the portals or consoles. You commit to have and make available the necessary resources required to achieve the above objectives in a timely manner. You will be solely responsible (at your own cost and labor) for the performance and the availability of the Store, as well as applying all Store settings required to enable the MOR Application and the underlying Services, and for implementing the appropriate configurations and settings of the Store and any systems and telecommunications facilities which are necessary to enable you to operate the Store, receive the Services. In certain cases we may provide you with our API to our approved 3rd party logistics providers (“3PL API”), allowing you to perform certain functions described in these Service Terms automatically through the API.

2.2            Business Rules and Shipping Policies. Before using the Services, you are responsible to configure, review and sign-off the ‘Business Rules’ (which are the per-Destination settings, rules and other proposition selections made through the Commerce Platform to determine the manner by which products will be priced and sold to a Destination, as such rules and configuration will be available from time to time from Global-e and Shopify). In addition, you must complete and update the Shipping Policies (which are the selection of shipping services and applicable shipping Rate Card which are available for your merchant offering through the Commerce Platform, including setting the rates and fees to be charged to Shopper on checkout). Neither Global-e nor Shopify will be responsible or liable if you failed to follow the requirements of this Section or any misconfiguration of the Business Rules or the Shipping Policies.

2.3            Product Pricing. You will be required and responsible for setting and configuring the Products sale price (in USD or in the currency of the Shopper) through the Commerce Platform in accordance with the Commerce Platform terms, and if applicable any pricing rules to be applied by the Commerce Platform to such base price. The price of Products displayed on the Store and paid by the Shopper will be rendered based on the rules set on the Commerce Platform (including the applicable FX rate and Currency Conversion Fee) (the “Product Sale Price”).

2.4            Shopper Shipping Charges. Using the Commerce Platform, you will be required to set the Shipping Policies including the shipping fees which will be charged to the Shopper on checkout. As between you and Global-e, you will be solely responsible and liable for any and all shipping charges, costs, fees or surcharges associated with the delivery (and customs clearance, if applicable) of the Customer Order, and any difference between such amounts and the amount configured to be charged to the Shopper (pursuant to the Shipping Policies) will be a Permitted Deduction and billed to you as part of the Reconciliation process. We will pay the Contracted Carrier for shipping (and customs clearance if applicable).

Each reconciliation report will provide the relevant details of the eligible consignments shipped including any differences in shipping charges related to the actual chargeable measurements (e.g. shipping weight) based on the then-applicable rate card. In the event of a difference (shortfall or excess) between (A) the weights originally used by the system to determine the shipping cost of the consignments as stated in the order, and (B) the chargeable weights of the consignments (and the amount that should have been charged based on such chargeable weights based on the then-applicable rate card), such difference amount (between (A) and (B)) will be reconciled as follows: any monies owing to us (in the event that the actual weights were greater than the weights used) shall be deemed a Permitted Deduction and we may deduct such amounts, or invoice you for such difference amount. Any monies owing to you will be set-off by way of a credit note in the next Reconciliation cycle as per Section ‎4. For purposes hereof, ‘weights’ shall mean the applicable volumetric (dimensional) or dead-weight, as applicable, and ‘actual chargeable weights’ shall be based on the most accurate weight reported by the carrier at the time of the report – based on carrier’s reported weights or invoiced weight (and in the absence of both, the weight used by the system shall remain).

Contracted Carrier’ means a carrier used to deliver the orders to the Shopper and which contract is facilitated by Global-e.

3.              ORDER CREATION AND MANAGEMENT; ORDER FULFILLMENT

3.1            Order Creation. We will process the cart created on the Store (“Cart”) to validate the billing address and process payment through the Shopper’s selected payment method, perform fraud detection and prevention, and determine the applicable Taxes (as needed). We will then have the right to cancel any order transaction that was payment-declined, or that we determined to be fraudulent. Subject to successful processing, an order will be created on the Store (“Customer Order”). Global-e will be relying on the data received from the Commerce Platform with respect to the accuracy of the Cart content and the Customer Order/Product data contained therein.

3.2            Taxes and Duties. Based on the Product and Customer Order information received in the Cart, we will estimate the taxes (such as import, sales taxes, value added tax or similar tax), customs duties or other charges or fees that may be imposed on the order (“Taxes), and apply such taxes. If Taxes are paid on checkout by the Shopper or included in the Product Sale Price as a subsidy, and a Contracted Carrier is used to deliver such Customer Order, we will pay such Taxes to the relevant authorities or brokers, and will guarantee the Taxes amount to you and the Shopper (“Taxes Guarantee”).

3.3            Order Fulfilment. You will be responsible for fulfilling the order, including picking and packing the Customer Order and generating all the required shipping and customs documents (through Console or automatically via the 3PL API, as applicable). You then may not amend the Customer Order, however you may cancel it in full and authorize a refund (or partially fulfil such part that can be fulfilled), however we will not be liable for any partly fulfilled Customer Orders, or for Customer Orders the status of which was not properly updated in Console.

Customer Orders fulfilled in multiple parcels may incur additional shipping charges. Customer Orders will be prepared for delivery to the Shopper by way of applying international shipment documents (shipping label, export documents and commercial/VAT invoice, as available to you through Console or the 3PL API, as applicable, but you may not use any other documents unless approved by Global-e). You will process the Customer Orders at your (or your approved third-party provider’s) facility, and the international shipping documents will be produced by your personnel using Console, including updating the status of the processed Customer Order, and make it available for dispatch and pickup for delivery straight to the Shopper.

3.4            Shipping and Delivery. Contracted Carriers will be used for shipping and delivery of fulfilled Customer Orders, unless you decline using such carriers by contacting [email protected] For such Contracted Carriers, we will manage the shipping and delivery (including lost/damaged disputes) and customs clearance (in supported Destinations), and will offer the guarantee pursuant to Section ‎3.2. Shipping and delivery costs, including all charges and fees of Contracted Carriers are stated in the rate card approved for such service on the Commerce Platform (“Rate Card”). The Rate Card or any surcharges or accessorial fees may be updated from time to time, provided we will exert reasonable efforts to notify you in writing in advance of such change taking effect. If you wish to use your own contracted carriers (at any point during the term of these Service Terms), please contact us at [email protected] If a third party carrier is used, certain features of the Services may not be fully available (e.g. Duties and Taxes guarantee or claims for items lost-in-transit). 

3.5            Title. As principal, you grant Global-e, the legal right to act as the seller and merchant of record, and as the exporter of record. Once merchant completes processing the Customer Order, flash title to the Products will transfer to Global-e allowing it to conclude the transaction with the Shopper, acting in our name but for your account. You will be deemed to have sold the Product to Global-e prior to the export or subsequent sale to the Shopper, and simultaneously we will be deemed to have forthwith sold the Product to the Shopper.

3.6            Lost in Transit. Subject to Section ‎3.4, any loss or damage to Products during transit to the Shopper using a Contracted Carrier will be our responsibility and liability, up to the loss coverage amount provided by such Contracted Carrier. We will manage the loss claim with such carrier. The difference between the Contracted Carrier loss coverage amounts and the amount required to be refunded and paid to the Shopper in respect of such loss will be a Permitted Deduction and reimbursed to Global-e as part of the reconciliation process outlined herein. Global-e will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage caused to Products while at your warehouse. Global-e will not be liable for any loss by an untracked shipment service (if you elected to use such level of service). Untracked shall mean a shipment method that does not provide full (i.e. until delivery) shipment tracking information, e.g. post.

3.7            Cancellations. Shopper cancellations will be only in accordance with the eligibility under the applicable Terms of Sale. We may cancel any Customer Order in cases of technical issues unrelated to us, or any Customer Order determined to be fraudulent or where payment was declined by the Shopper’s bank.

3.8            Refunds. You will confirm, through the Commerce Platform, the eligibility of all or part of a Customer Order for refund and will authorize the amount eligible for refund, which will automatically trigger a conforming refund by Global-e through the same payment method and in the same currency used for such Customer Order. The refund amount including all costs and charges (for shipping, taxes, duties or other fees due to be refunded to Shopper or incurred in connection with such refund or return of items, as and if applicable) will be regarded as a Permitted Deduction, unless such refund or any costs or charges are the direct result of our gross negligence or willful misconduct. For greater clarity, you will not receive a refund of any applicable fees outlined in Schedule 1 paid or owing to us in connection with an order being refunded (in full or in part).

3.9            Chargebacks. Covered Chargebacks will be our responsibility and liability unless you have overridden our decision to reject an order. All other chargebacks and associated costs, fees and charges imposed by the card issuer, payment provider or other authorized entity will be your cost, and we may bill and charge you such amounts for which we are entitled. We are under no obligation to dispute or take any action with respect to non- Covered Chargebacks. “Covered Chargebacks” means chargebacks other than those chargebacks (i) related to fraud otherwise known as “friendly fraud” where the perpetrator uses his or her own account and personally benefits or is complicit in the fraud (e.g. chargeback filed for transaction not authorized, when order is delivered to verifiable address of card holder); or (ii) directly resulting from your activity or inactivity (e.g., order not fulfilled or partly fulfilled without amending the order; refund not processed; or item received different than as described on Store). You agree that the relevant card scheme/payment method decision regarding the validity and value of such Covered Chargebacks will be final and binding and we will not be liable for decisions made by the card scheme/payment method.

4.              BILLING AND RECONCILIATION PROCESS; PAYOUTS

4.1            Report; Invoicing. Your account statement and associated statement reports, presented in USD (“Reconciliation Files”), will be posted on Console four times a month, on the 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd of each calendar month (“Reconciliation Day”). The Reconciliation Files will include all Customer Orders transactions for which ‘Dispatched’ status were triggered since previous Reconciliation Day (a “Reconciliation Eligible Transaction”). The Reconciliation Files will also specify the applicable Product Sale Price and shipping information (including shipping and tax subsidies), refunds made to Shoppers during the reconciliation period and manual adjustments (such as service gestures). The Reconciliation Files will serve as the agreed basis for billing and reconciliation of funds between the Parties. You undertake to promptly review the Reconciliation Files and notify us in case you have any concerns.

4.2            The account statement will reflect, in USD, the Merchant Payout Amount for all the Reconciliation Eligible Transactions on the Reconciliation Day, less Permitted Deductions (including deduction of Taxes subsidized by you), which we will pay you based on the terms hereof. Shipping fees and charges will be based upon the applicable Rate Card, and billed to you (as part of the reconciliation process) in addition to any Permitted Deductions. The basis for calculating any applicable fee as Permitted Deduction amount will be the Total Order Value paid by the Shopper on checkout, such Total Order Value equal to the total Product Sale Price for all items purchased by the Shopper, plus shipping charges plus Taxes paid by the Shopper on checkout.

Merchant Payout Amount” means the total Product Sale Price paid by the Shopper for all Product items purchased and any manual adjustments remitted to you by Global-e on behalf of Shopify.

Permitted Deductions” mean any costs or fees we incur as a result of rendering the Service with respect to an applicable Customer Order, including if such costs or fees result from your instructions or approvals (e.g. subsidies), including but not limited to those related to (i) any applicable fees referenced in Schedule 1 - Pricing Schedule attached hereto; (ii) all costs and expense for the fulfillment of a Customer Order including Taxes and the charges relating to export, customs clearance, transport and delivery, as applicable, in each case required to be paid as a result of shipping the Customer Order and any shortfalls between such amount and the amounts we were instructed to charge the Shopper, if any, and any difference amounts pursuant to the true-up mechanism outlined in Section ‎2.4, if any; (iii) non-Covered Chargebacks; (iv) other fees, amounts or credits relating to returns, refunds, re-shipments or processing un-deliverables to a Shopper, if applicable, and actual costs incurred as a result of your election to override any value that modifies shipping prices, foreign exchange variances arising due shipment of Products (and capture) after the rate lock 30-day period expires, deposits; and (v) any other costs, fees and expenses included in these Service Terms or set by the Commerce Platform in connection with the Services.

4.3            The net amount resulting from deducting the Permitted Deductions from the Merchant Payout Amount, plus applicable tax, if any, will be paid within three (3) business days following the date on which the Reconciliation Files were posted.

4.4            You acknowledge that Global-e is expressly appointed as either yours or Shopify’s agent, to represent either you or Shopify and act on your or Shopify’s behalf, with respect to the payment of any money due to either you or Shopify. We hereby confirm (and confirm that Shopify has acknowledged and agreed) that payment of money from you to Global-e for delivery to Shopify satisfies and discharges your payor obligations to Shopify with respect to money due hereunder (but not with respect to any money otherwise owed for which you will remain liable to Shopify).
