Reseller and Channel Partner Shipments&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where Goods are purchased by a reseller, distributor, channel partner, systems integrator, or other intermediary for resale or supply to an end customer, the reseller or channel partner is responsible for its own shipping, delivery, fulfilment, and customer service arrangements with that end customer unless EV4 Limited has expressly agreed otherwise in writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EV4 Limited is not responsible for delivery commitments, shipping charges, delivery delays, failed deliveries, customs charges, import issues, insurance arrangements, or other fulfilment obligations agreed directly between a reseller or channel partner and its end customer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resellers and channel partners&nbsp;are responsible for&nbsp;ensuring that Goods are handled, stored, packaged, labelled, shipped, and delivered in a safe, suitable, and lawful manner and&nbsp;in accordance with&nbsp;any applicable product documentation, export controls, customs requirements, and carrier requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resellers and channel partners must not make delivery promises, shipping guarantees, warranty commitments, return commitments, or service commitments on behalf of EV4 Limited unless expressly&nbsp;authorised&nbsp;by EV4 Limited in writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where an end customer&nbsp;requires&nbsp;support, warranty&nbsp;assistance, or a return relating to Goods supplied by a reseller or channel partner, the reseller or channel partner will normally act as the first point of contact unless EV4 Limited agrees otherwise in writing. Any returns, RMAs, repairs, replacements, or warranty claims&nbsp;remain&nbsp;subject to EV4 Limited\u2019s applicable Terms of Sale, Refund &amp; Returns Policy, warranty terms, and any separate reseller, distributor, or partner agreement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13.

Damaged Shipments&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers must inspect Goods promptly upon delivery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Goods arrive damaged, the customer should&nbsp;notify us&nbsp;as soon as possible and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours of delivery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damage reports should include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Order Number;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>delivery date;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>tracking number, where available;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>photographs of the outer packaging;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>photographs of the damaged Goods;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>details of the damage; and&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>any carrier delivery notes or damage reports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers should&nbsp;retain&nbsp;all packaging materials until the claim has been reviewed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Failure to report shipping damage promptly or failure to&nbsp;retain&nbsp;packaging may affect our ability to investigate the issue or make a carrier claim.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15. Lost or Delayed Shipments&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If tracking information&nbsp;indicates&nbsp;that a shipment is significantly delayed, lost, or has not updated for an unusual period, customers should contact us at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@dsdevices.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>info@dsdevices.com<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;with their Order Number and tracking details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will make reasonable efforts to&nbsp;assist&nbsp;with carrier investigations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrier investigations may take time and are subject to the carrier\u2019s own procedures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refunds, replacements, or credits for lost shipments will be handled&nbsp;in accordance with&nbsp;our Terms of Sale, this Shipping Policy, and any applicable carrier investigation outcome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>16. Refused Deliveries and Failed Delivery&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a customer refuses delivery without our prior written approval, or if delivery fails because of incorrect delivery information, customs non-payment, import refusal, lack of recipient availability, or failure to cooperate with the carrier, the customer may&nbsp;be responsible for:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>return shipping costs;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>carrier charges;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>storage charges;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>customs charges;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>re-delivery fees;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>administrative costs; and&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>any loss in value of the Goods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refunds for refused or failed deliveries are not automatic and remain subject to inspection, approval, and our applicable Terms of Sale and Refund &amp; Returns Policy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>17. Export Compliance&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers and resellers must&nbsp;comply with&nbsp;all applicable export control, sanctions, customs, and trade compliance laws.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We may refuse, suspend, or cancel any order where we&nbsp;reasonably believe&nbsp;fulfilment would breach applicable export control, sanctions, customs, or trade compliance laws.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The customer is solely responsible for obtaining any required import, export, or re-export&nbsp;authorisations&nbsp;unless otherwise agreed in writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>18.
