Armlogi is an independent contractor for all purposes, and only acts as the agent of Customer with respect to Armlogi’s custody of the Products in its Customer Inventory.
8.3 Account Balances. Any invoices Armlogi sends to Customer in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement shall be based on any balance accrued in the Customer’s Account. “3rd Party Fees” are the fees for postage, shipping and any third-party fees (including, but not limited to carrier fees, shipping fees, rates of duty, international brokerage charges, freight charges, insurance premiums or other charges given during Customer’s use of Services) ordered through the Account and any special or additional fees assessed against the Account as permitted in this Agreement. The 3rd party fees for Services are billed during the month in which the Services are performed, but such 3rd Party Fees are subject to change due to circumstances beyond Armlogi’s control. Customer agrees and acknowledges that should Customer change Account billing plans during or at the end of any month, the previous pricing plan may no longer be available. All other fees for the Services listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement, including Pick & Pack, Storage, Special Requests, Hourly Rates, etc., will be billed on the 1st and 15th day of the month following the conclusion of the month for which such Services were provided, or an Account Balance has accrued.
4 / 158.4 Armlogi Services Estimates. Quotes for 3rd party fees are for informational purposes only and are subject to change without Notice and shall not under any circumstances be binding upon Armlogi. Quotations accepted through Armlogi’s online interface are estimates based on the information available at the time made. The final rates and service fees may vary based upon the shipment actually tendered, the work actually performed, or a number of factors such as carrier shipping prices, the actual characteristics of the Products, the delivery location, among other variations occurring in the ordinary course of business.
8.5 Currency Fluctuations. Armlogi reserves the right to adjust its pricing for the Services in response to currency fluctuations, including but not limited to, currency conversion rate changes, conversion fee changes, and/or discount rate changes. All dollar amounts stated in this Agreement will be in US dollars unless otherwise specified.
8.6 Usage Fee Disputes. Should Customer disagree with any Usage Fees (other than carrier or third-party fees) invoiced or charged against the Account, Customer must submit written notice to Armlogi within 60 days of the fee being charged (“Dispute Period”). Armlogi will not review customer requests for Usage Fee adjustments that are received after the Dispute Period.
8.7 Liens. Armlogi shall have a security interest in all Products in Inventory and on the proceeds thereof to secure the payment of all Usage Fees and 3rd Party Fees as well as any reasonable expenses incurred by Armlogi for the preservation of the Inventory or its sale.

8.8 Account Balance Disputes. If Armlogi becomes aware of, or is notified of, a dispute relating to the Account Balance, then Armlogi will promptly review the dispute. Within 5 days after the resolution of the dispute, Armlogi will forward a bill for outstanding amounts due, or will credit the Account Balance accordingly, if appropriate.
8.9 Abandoned Account and Liquidation. If Customer’s Usage Fees or 3rd Party Fees remain unpaid for a period greater than 30 days, then Armlogi reserves the right, at its sole discretion to reclassify Customer’s Account as an “Abandoned Account.” Additionally, any Account that remains unpaid for greater than 60 days will automatically be deemed an Abandoned Account. Upon an Account becoming an Abandoned Account, Customer immediately forfeits all rights of ownership of such Customer’s Inventory. Inventory will become immediately and irrevocably unavailable to Customer, and liquidation proceedings would begin. Customer agrees the Inventory would be free and clear of liability, and that Customer assumes any liability therefore. Customer has no rights to any liquidation proceeds arising from an Abandoned Account and would remain liable for any pending Usage Fees and 3rd Party Fees above and beyond the liquidation proceeds.
8.10 Termination of the Account. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Account will be inaccessible to Customer, and all activity will be suspended. Armlogi reserves the right to place an Account on hold for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the following:

| b) | suspicious activity on or through the Account; |
| c) | if anyone using the Account uses abusive language or otherwise threatens Armlogi or its staff; |
| d) | to allow time to resolve or investigate a third party complaint of a violation of this Agreement; |
| e) | to allow time for investigation or resolution of an unauthorized transaction, customer complaint, dispute or accusation; and, |
| f) | to allow time for Armlogi to comply with any extraordinary support requests. |
8.11 Termination Without Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon delivery to the other of a written Notice of Termination which shall be effective as of the last day of the following month, unless and until earlier terminated by written agreement of the Parties. Any Customer Inventory that remains in Armlogi’s inventory at the expiration of the Termination Notice Period will be shipped to Customer at the address on file and, if address is not on file, the billing address on Customer’s credit card, at Customer’s expense. If no address is available or no balance is available to pay for shipment back to the Customer, Armlogi will liquidate the Product inventory in accordance with an Abandoned Account and apply the proceeds thereof to the cost of liquidation and any balance owed to Armlogi by Customer.
6 / 158.12 Termination Upon Breach by Customer. If Customer is in breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, Armlogi may close, put on hold, or limit access to the Account or the Services. Without limiting any of the remedies under law or equity, Armlogi may also take any actions available, including, without limitation, any of the following:

Prior to the commencement of any proceeding for resolution of a dispute under this Agreement, the Parties covenant and agree that they will participate in mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. Any party seeking dispute resolution shall send a demand for mediation to the other party. The date of the demand shall constitute a submission to mediation. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days from the date of the submission of the dispute to mediation (or such later date as the parties may mutually agree in writing), the administration of the arbitration shall proceed forthwith. The mediation may continue, if the Parties so agree, after the appointment of the arbitrators. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case. The pendency of a mediation shall not preclude a Party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of the arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction, and the Parties agree not to defend against any application for provisional relief on the ground that a mediation is pending.
13 / 1514.10 Force Majeure. Any delay or failure of either Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement will be excused to the extent that the delay or failure was caused directly by an event beyond such Party’s control, without such Party’s fault or negligence and that by its nature could not have been foreseen by such Party or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable (which events may include natural disasters, embargoes, explosions, riots, wars or acts of terrorism) (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). Customer’s financial inability to perform, changes in cost or availability of materials, components or services, market conditions or Customer actions or contract disputes will not excuse performance by Customer under this Section. Customer shall give Armlogi prompt written Notice of any event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in a Force Majeure Event, and the anticipated duration of such Force Majeure Event. Customer shall use all diligent efforts to end the Force Majeure Event, ensure that the effects of any Force Majeure Event are minimized and resume full performance under this Agreement. If requested by Armlogi, Customer shall, within 30 days of such request, provide adequate assurances that a Force Majeure Event will not exceed 30 days. The rights granted to Customer with respect to excused delays under this Section are intended to limit Customer’s rights under theories of force majeure, commercial impracticability, impracticability or impossibility of performance, or failure of presupposed conditions or otherwise, including any rights arising under the California Uniform Commercial Code or any similar statute or regulation.
