Depending on the extent of additional work required for clarification and data improvement with your suppliers, inbound error administration fees may be charged.

Â
2. Storage
2.1 Cubic Storage Management
2.1.1 Keep Space operates based on cubic measurements to calculate SKU volume, which is then multiplied by the quantity. This total volume is considered as the organisation’s storage usage, and it’s important to note that this storage usage is invoiced according to specific billing cycle timeframes.
2.1.2 Pallet and shelf spacing are not separately charged; charges apply based on cubic usage of the SKU itself.
2.1.3 Keep Space reserves the right to determine the storage locations for your SKUs as appropriate for operational processes.

Â
2.2 Return Storage Management

3.1.1 Keep Space processes all Outbound Orders received in the Keep Space Portal by 12 p.m. local Fulfilment Centre time, known as the Cut-Off time, on the same business day, subject to carrier pull times and up to 120% of the Outbound Forecast unit volume.
3.1.2 Orders received within the business day timeframe are subject to two qualifying service requirements: timing and capacity.
3.1.2.1 Keep Space Fulfilment Centres have a daily business timeframe, with the Cut-Off time at 12 p.m. in that Fulfilment centre’s time zone. The only reason that it would not be dispatched is under 3.1.2.2
3.1.2.2 Keep Space has a daily capacity limit for order fulfilment, which depends on factors such as seasonal variations and your organisation’s forecasts. Capacity is allocated based on the priority of your organisation’s arrival at the fulfilment centre and availability within the Cut-Off time.
3.1.2.3 Keep Space may delay order fulfilment if conditions in 3.1.2.1 and 3.1.2.2 are not met to ensure the health and well-being of its operational team. Keep Space will make reasonable efforts to process the orders on the same business day. If it cannot do so, it will process the order by the close of business on the next business day.
3.1.4 If an order is received after the Cut-Off Time and is identified by your organisation as Urgent, your organisation can request an Urgent Order. Keep Space has the final decision to process or not, depending on the volume and time of the business day. If processed, your organisation will incur an Urgent Order fee in the next invoicing period.
3.1.5 If Keep Space does not have enough inventory to fulfil an order on the day received, your organisation will be notified through the Portal with a “No Stock” status. Your organisation is responsible for managing backorders and allocation decisions.

Shipping
1. Outbound Orders | 2. Domestic | 3. International | 4. Forecasts
1. Outbounds
1.1 Outbound Orders on your behalf
1.1.1 Organisations allow Keep Space to ship their orders on their behalf and utilise Keep Space shipping partnerships to send their goods to their customers’ addresses.
1.1.2 Rates and service quotations are estimates based on information provided by your organisation. Final rates and services may vary based on the shipment actually tendered. Charges will be assessed based on the rates effective on the day of shipment processing.

Â
2. Domestic Outbounds
2.2 Domestic Outbounds of Parcels and Pallets
2.2.1 Cubic and Dead Weight: The costs to transport goods are dependent upon carrier space and weight limitations and carrier dimensional weight policies. Thus, bulky shipments requiring considerable space are often charged a cubic weight.
Keep Space utilises a range of carriers that have shipments tendered to us and is charged according to the actual weight or the cubic weight, whichever is greater. Cubic weight is computed by taking the cube of the exterior dimensions of the shipping carton (Length x Width X Height) / Dim Factor. Different carriers and services use different dim factors and may change these from time to time. Keep Space will compute the cubic weight for each carton based on the carrier terms and conditions in place at the time the order is quoted for processing. Actual Weight is calculated by taking the product weights + carton tare weight (this is the empty container weight) + void fill weight. Billable weight is the greater of the Cubic weight or Actual weight and rounded UP to the next billable weight break (typically the next gram or kg) for that carrier and service.
2.2.2 An Organisation’s shipment that is destined for, a remote location or a location distant from a commercial centre may be assessed to additional charges and may incur additional transit day(s). Known surcharges like fuel surcharges and delivery area surcharges will typically be included at the time of shipment. Some surcharges and fees are not known until after delivery has been made, (e.g. wait time, additional delivery attempts, redirect fees, address correction fees). you are responsible for any invoiced surcharge or fee for shipments from your Organisation’s account. Keep Space may invoice these charges in arrears without additional notice into the next invoice period
2.2.3 Accurate weight and dimension information must be entered when adding new SKUs to the Keep Space platform. Incorrect information may lead to overpayment or underestimation of shipping fees. Your Organisation’s account will back-invoice the difference in the case of underestimation. However, Keep Space is not responsible for refunds due to overpayment resulting from erroneous information. If your organisation discovers any inaccuracies, please inform Keep Space promptly. All shipping costs quoted are estimates until billed by the shipping carriers. Keep Space reserves the right to edit dimensions and weight at its discretion to reflect actual packing requirements.
2.2.4 Your organisation is responsible for the accuracy and deliverability of order shipping addresses. Keep Space may verify some shipping addresses, but it is not a substitute for your organisation’s address diligence. If an estimate is based on an inaccurate or incomplete address, your organisation is responsible for address correction fees or any differences in shipping costs. Examples of discrepancies include, but are not limited to: incomplete addresses, inaccurate/incomplete commercial/residential addresses, and inaccurate/incomplete rural addresses.
Â
3. International Outbounds
3.1 International Outbound of Parcels and Pallets
3.1.1 Keep Space offers international shipping on a “best efforts” basis and reserves the right to charge additional items, international documentation or per shipment handling fees for any international shipment
3.1.2 Keep Space will make best efforts to display these in shipping estimates. However, Keep Space cannot guarantee delivery due to uncertainties in cross-border shipping. Customs and customs agents can introduce delays, refuse processing, assess brokerage fees, and impose customs, taxes, or duties at their discretion. Even well-documented shipments can be returned without any reasons provided.
3.1.3 Keep Space encourages your organisation to consider last-mile delivery within the destination country to avoid unknowns and extra costs. Keep Space will not refund or guarantee lost or returned international shipments and recommends tracking and insurance for all international shipments.
3.1.4 Your organisation is responsible for fraud prevention related to international shipments. You are responsible for all fees related to international shipments charged by shipping carriers and recipient countries.
3.1.5 Carriers may return international shipments, incurring return shipping, brokerage, and returns processing carrier fees. These charges are invoiced in your organisation’s invoice periods, often without notice.
3.1.6 Keep Space will work with Organisations to circumvent International returns or abandon inventory at the Organisation’s request. This is done on a best-efforts basis, and Keep Space reserves the right to assess administration fees.
3.1.7 Customs, duties, and taxes on international shipments charged by carriers are the responsibility of your organisation and will be invoiced in your organisation’s next invoice period, regardless of whether they were included in the initial shipping estimate or whether the order was delivered.
3.1.8 Keep Space shipping Quotations as to shipping fees, rates of duty, international brokerage charges, freight charges, insurance premiums or other charges given during your use of Keep Space Services are for informational purposes only and are subject to change without notice and shall not under any circumstances be binding upon Keep Space.
3.3.8.1 Quotations accepted through Keep Space Services’ online interfaces and APIs are estimates based on the information you have supplied. An Organisation’s final shipping charge may differ based on carrier shipping prices, the actual characteristics of an Organisation’s dimensions and weight, the delivery address, and services requested during the normal course of delivery. Keep Space specifically disclaims liability for any shipping rate errors due to information you have supplied, such as dimensions and weights you have entered into our Portal. Keep Space disclaims liability for any shipping rate errors due to failures in communication with shipping carriers that are outside of Keep Space’s control.
Â
4. Forecasts
4.1 Tier 3 and 4 Organisations
4.1.1 Tier 3 organisations must provide monthly volume forecasts at the beginning of the year to Keep Space. Timely and accurate forecasts are crucial for managing monthly volume movements.
4.1.2 Failure to provide monthly volume forecasts for Tier 3 organisations or above may lead to delays in orders due to lack of communication, which Keep Space will not be responsible for.
4.1.3 Keep Space will adjust fulfilment centre capacity based on your organisation’s monthly volume predictions.
4.1.4 If your organisation’s volume falls below the expected forecast, and Keep Space has hired additional staff to manage that volume, Keep Space reserves the right to pass on the additional labour charge to your organisation for that monthly period.
4.1.5 If your organisation’s volume exceeds the expected forecast, Keep Space will strive to process up to 120% of the forecasted capacity. Keep Space reserves the right to allow delays in shipments for the well-being of its staff due to this oversight and to prioritise the removal of all excess orders within the Keep Space portal through its fulfilment centres. Keep Space will not be responsible for excess orders that the Organisation failed to declare on its monthly forecast.
4.1.5.1 If Keep Space has willing staff, it may communicate with Tier 4 organisations and above about accessing overtime hours at an additional labour rate. If your organisation agrees to the price, Keep Space will invoice the additional labour charges in the following invoice period, provided there is capacity to maintain the standard.
