Onward Shipping Protection
- Shipping Protection
Company allows online stores, merchants, ecommerce platforms and other commercial enterprises (collectively, “Stores”) to install and use the Services for the purpose of providing their customers and users (collectively, “End-Users”) shipping protection for select products purchased by the End-User from the Stores. The Services are built as an add-on to a Store’s existing online storefront, allowing Stores to provide End-Users the opportunity to purchase the shipping protection Services to items, merchandise and products purchased and shipped from the Stores. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, BOTH THE STORES AND THE END-USERS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (A) THE VALUE COVERAGE PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES (INCLUDING ANY SHIPPING PROTECTION) IS NOT AND SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE INSURANCE OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER; (B) IN THE EVENT OF ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF THE PRODUCTS PURCHASED BY THE END-USER, UPON FINAL DETERMINATION BY THE COMPANY THAT THE PRODUCT(S) OR ITEM(S) PURCHASED BY THE END-USER WAS, IN FACT, DAMAGED OR LOST, WITH SUCH DETERMINATION BEING MADE IN THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION OF THE COMPANY, END-USER WILL BE PROVIDED WHICHEVER IS LESSER IN VALUE OF THE FOLLOWING:
(1) FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE PRODUCTS OR ITEMS PURCHASED BY THE END USER, OR
(2) UP TO $5,000 OF THE DECLARED VALUE (DEFINED BELOW) OF ALL OF THE PRODUCTS OR ITEMS PURCHASED BY THE END-USER CONTEMPLATED HEREIN SHALL ONLY BE PROVIDED TO ELIGIBLE END-USERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED THE SERVICES.

Notice Timeline: Users must notify the Company of any lost or damaged products, for which shipping protection has been purchased, within 60 days of the date that such product(s) were purchased from the Store. Users and Stores acknowledge and agree that if the User fails to provide timely notice as provided above, the User will not be provided any benefits of the shipping protection service and will not receive any refund of User’s purchase of the same. Upon receiving such notice, the Company will respond as soon as reasonably practicable.

Onward Quality Issue Coverage
- Quality Issue Coverage. Onward provides coverage for Quality Issues arising from the usage of product(s) by the End User. Quality Issues are defined according to the type of product(s) purchased by the End User. For durable goods, such as apparel, appliances, bags, electronics, exercise equipment, footwear, furniture, jewelry, textiles and watches, Quality Issues are defined as accidental product damage occurring during normal usage such as tears, rips, stains, drops, punctures, cracks, breaks, mechanical failures and electrical issues. Manufacturing defects are not covered. For consumable goods, such as cleaning products, detergents, drinks, food, makeup, perfumes and supplements, Quality Issues are defined as general dissatisfaction with the quality of the product(s) after usage. For avoidance of any doubt, any product not defined as a consumable product above shall be considered a durable product.
- Term Period. Product(s) purchased with Onward Quality Issue Coverage have a Term Period under which Onward will service claims made by the End User for Quality Issues. The Term Period will be displayed by the Store at the time of purchase and will commence upon delivery of the product(s) to the End User. End Users must notify Onward of any Quality Issues for product(s) purchased with Onward Quality Issue Coverage within the Term Period.
- Remedies. For qualifying Quality Issues, Onward will seek to remedy the issue based upon whether the product(s) are durable goods or consumable goods. For durable goods, Onward may first attempt to repair the product at our expense before either replacing the product or issuing the End User a refund. For consumable goods, Onward will either replace the product(s) or issue a refund based on the End Users preference. Onward has sole discretion to determine the validity of Quality Issues and the appropriate resolutions. For consumable product(s), the End User may file at most one claim for each product regardless of the number of times that product has been purchased.
- Additional Conditions. Onward Quality Issue Coverage covers Quality Issues up to a maximum retail purchase price of $5,000. Onward Quality Issue Coverage is not intended to replace any warranty issued by the Store or Manufacturer of the product. The Onward Quality Issue Coverage does not cover products eligible for a Store’s return policy. The End User may not renew the Term Period. Onward Quality Issue Coverage may not be transferred to any other individual or entity.
- NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN INSURANCE POLICY
