OUR SERVICES

We provide the AVIO website ("Website") to assist you, our customers, in comparing, selecting, and purchasing third party courier services and postage, compiling and reviewing your shipping history, and resolving any questions via our customer support services. We will call these our "Services". We provide the Services for the legal shipping of products and documents nationally and internationally or otherwise transacting business with courier services, and for no other purposes.

When we refer to "we," "us," "our" and "AVIO," we refer to AVIO LLC, an Utah entity, and its subsidiaries and corporate affiliates. The term "you" refers to the customer visiting the Website and/or purchasing third-party courier services through us on this Website, or using our APIs, or through our partners and customer service agents.

PAYMENTS AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES

You agree to pay AVIO all charges applicable for the Services at the time such Services are ordered by you on the Website or APIs. You are responsible for ensuring that AVIO has up-to-date information (including contact information) and you are responsible for entry of information regarding the Services you order. Should any amounts due for Services remain unpaid, or in the event that any check, ACH payment, credit card charge or online payment service is denied, returned, or refused, you agree to pay, in addition to the principal amount and any applicable interest thereon, all of the bank and payment provider charges assessed against you and AVIO and AVIO reasonable costs of collecting or attempting to collect, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses.

In addition, if any check, ACH payment, credit card charge or online payment service is denied, returned, or refused, AVIO may charge the underlying payment and any incidental charges (as described above) against any other form of payment you have ever added to your AVIO account.

You are responsible for any additional charges due to (a) misstatements regarding weight, size, classification, number, or manner of Service, (b) deliveries on weekends or holidays, (c) local customs charges, (d) import taxes or duties, or (e) any similar charge(s) incurred.

Any claim for unused or misprinted postage or fee refund must be submitted directly to AVIO on the Website or via API within thirty (30) days of date of purchase. Postage handled and/or returned to sender will not be considered valid unused and/or misprinted postage. If determined valid, at AVIO sole discretion, AVIO will credit an active customer‘s account an amount equal to what was paid for the Services. In addition, you agree to assign to AVIO any and all rights to file any such claims with or against any carrier with respect to Services ordered or paid for on the Website or API.

ACCOUNT BALANCES

You may maintain a pre-funded account balance with AVIO and view that balance, your transaction, shipping label and postage activity, refunds, adjustments and other transactions within your account, online at any time. AVIO does not share that account activity with the couriers or third parties, though the couriers may keep track of the shipping information that you provide for postage/courier labels.If you fund and maintain a positive balance in your account with AVIO, AVIO will keep track of that balance but will not segregate those funds into separate bank accounts and will not pay interest on those accounts. If you request a refund of any positive account balances, AVIO will work to promptly and expeditiously honor such refund requests, subject to the payment/refund procedures of your bank/payment provider.

AVAILABILITY OF SERVICE

We will try to keep the AVIO site and APIs available at all times. However, there may be times when we have to maintain, update or improve the Website or temporarily suspend the availability of the API or Services for other reasons. We do not guarantee the availability of the Website, APIs, or Services at any time, and will not be liable for any suspension or discontinuance of the Services.CHANGES TO OUR TERMS AND PRIVACY POLICY

As our service offerings change, as laws change, as the world changes, AVIO may, from time to time, amend or modify these Terms and/or our Privacy Policy at https://www.aviologistics.com/privacy-policy. We will post the amended or modified Terms and/or Privacy Policy on the Website, which will automatically be effective five (5) business days after being posted.

LEGAL USE OF WEBSITE

By accessing or using this Website or the Services, you agree that you will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. import, export and re-export control laws and regulations, controlled substance laws and hazardous materials laws, regulations and private courier rules. AVIO reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.

You can read more information about that in our Privacy Policy at https://aviologistics.com/privacy-policy.

AVIO IS AN INTERMEDIARY

AVIO serves only as an intermediary between you and couriers like the United States Postal Service ("USPS") and United Parcel Service ("UPS"). We only provide you with a platform to order their postage, shipping products and services. We do not provide the courier services ourselves. We do not transport, ship, deliver, or otherwise provide any service beyond simply reselling postage, labels and the Services we list on the Website.

When we display service options on our Website offered by couriers like USPS and UPS, this does not mean that we recommend, approve or sponsor that courier or that courier’s service options. We also cannot guarantee the quality of those services. Your interaction with any courier accessed through the Website is at your own risk.

You agree that AVIO has no control over the couriers listed on the Website, and is not responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, or thoroughness of information on the Website related in any way to couriers or their Services. You acknowledge that AVIO will have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of any such courier or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting from your interactions with the courier.

It is your responsibility to find, open, read, understand, and accept the terms, conditions, or rules of purchase of any courier you select for shipping. You are responsible for ensuring that your purchases abide by the terms and conditions of purchase imposed by any courier you select to perform shipping services, including terms and conditions of purchase set forth in a courier‘s terms, conditions, and rules. For instance, if a courier doesn’t permit the shipment of hazardous liquids, it is your responsibility to comply with those rules.

ACCESS FROM THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

AVIO may integrate with third party e-commerce software to allow you to import order data to more easily create shipping labels and to relay the order status back to your ecommerce software. AVIO has no control over third party software we may integrate with, or over the information you have entered into or have stored on that software. AVIO also does not have control over the API for third party software or the currency of any links or data-sharing protocols. Because we do not have control over that software, we cannot be and are not responsible for any lost data, errors in data or in data transmission, downtime, unavailability, or any other loss or damage that might occur from using that software or the links on or connections to that software. We recommend you review the privacy policy governing any third party software before using them.
