ANNEX 4.1–4.2 Cargo Restrictions, Prohibited Goods, and Packaging Policy

Capitalized terms used herein, where defined in the General Terms of Service Agreement, shall have the same meaning and definition as indicated therein.

The use of the term “Policy” in this Annex shall refer to this Annex.

This Policy shall govern those products or services that cannot be sold using the Service as they are identified by law, rules or regulations, or our partner courier as a prohibited item or as unacceptable cargo. Our Fulfillment Partner provides You with pick-up (within Metro Manila) and delivery services (nationwide) (the “Pickup and Delivery Services”). 

Packages and Items required to be shipped via air cargo and are regulated because of the nature of the items will be shipped via sea cargo, where applicable. However, this may take at least 15 Business Days for the Packages to be delivered.

Items and Packages tagged or identified as “prohibited” for all modes of transport will be returned to the You. We reserve the right to refuse Items and Packages for transport if they are found to be non-compliant with the Terms or this Policy.

It is imperative that You properly declare the contents of the Packages. We will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of the Package due to a misdeclaration of the Items.
