The Service Fees shall include: (a) one (1) free Tracker API call per label purchased; (b) one (1) free Address Verification API call per label purchased; and (c) the creation of up to three (3) free Rating API calls per label purchased (i.e., up to a 3:1 ratio of Rating API calls to label purchased). In the event your usage exceeds the annual quantity estimate provided by you for a quoted subscription fee by more than 125%, EasyPost reserves the right to amend such subscription fee based upon the increased usage.
    2. Overage Fees.  To the extent that your usage of the EasyPost APIs exceeds what is included with the Service Fees, as set forth in Section 3.1, EasyPost shall charge overage fees (the “Overage Fees”) as follows: (a) two cents ($0.02) per each additional Tracker API call; (b) two cents ($0.02) per each additional Address Verification API call for addresses located in the United States; (c) six cents ($0.06) per each additional Address Verification API call for addresses located outside of the United States; and (d) two cents ($0.02) per each additional Rating API call in excess of the 3:1 ratio set forth above.
    3. SmartRate API Service Fees.  EasyPost shall charge a service fee equal to three cents ($0.03) per Smart Rate API call via the EasyPost APIs (the “SmartRate Service Fees”). EasyPost agrees to waive the SmartRate Services Fees for the first five hundred (500) calls to the SmartRate API by you.
    4. Developer Plan Pricing.  Where you have not entered into a separate Order with EasyPost or where a prior Order has been terminated or expired, EasyPost shall charge you in accordance with the following Developer Plan Pricing for use of the EasyPost APIs:
      1. Service Fees.  The Service Fees under the Developer Plan shall be equal to five cents ($0.05) per each label purchased via the EasyPost APIs.
      2. Waiver of Service Fees. EasyPost agrees to waive the Service Fees under the Developer Plan for the first one hundred twenty thousand (120,000) labels purchased via the EasyPost APIs in any consecutive, twelve-month period, up to a maximum of ten thousand (10,000) labels purchased per month. The Overage Fees set forth in Section 3.2 shall still apply. This waiver of Service Fees is applied based upon the aggregate number of labels purchased by the Subscribing Organization as well as any purchases by related subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, agents, and contractors. The creation of multiple Accounts by or at the direction of the Subscribing Organization is expressly prohibited absent the written consent of EasyPost, and if any Subscribing Organization attempts to do so, EasyPost reserves the right to revoke the waiver of Services Fees set forth in this Section 3.3.2.

You may unenroll from the EasyPost Shipping Insurance by submitting a request through your dashboard or to EasyPost Support.
    5. Payment of Service Fees and Carrier Charges.  All Service Fees and any applicable Carrier Charges shall be due at the time of the transaction or as set forth in the applicable Order.

New Account Promotions.  EasyPost may offer a promotional credit to new customers upon completion of the creation of an Account (as defined below) and EasyPost’s verification of Customer information and eligibility. If a Customer has multiple Accounts, then the promotional credit will be provided to one Account only. Any such promotional credit shall be deposited in Customer’s EasyPost Wallet to be used exclusively for future purchases of EasyPost Products and Services. Such credit shall not be refundable to Customer under any circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, any Customer (including subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, or agents) that has previously opened an Account shall be ineligible to receive any promotional credit, and EasyPost reserves the right to revoke the credit if such credit was wrongfully delivered to an ineligible Customer. Any promotion may be terminated by EasyPost at any time and at EasyPost’s sole discretion.

If Customer’s payment method choice is a credit card for any given payment, a standard convenience fee of three and three-quarters percent (3.75%) will apply.
    3. Future Functionality. Customer’s purchases of the EasyPost Products and Services are not contingent on the development or delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written comments made by EasyPost regarding future functionality or features.
