Storage Fees and Disposals
Storage Fees
The Service provides active Members the benefit of storing their merchandise for up to 45 days at no charge. Once this period lapses, Members will incur storage fees. Members agree to pay these storage charges per package per day, according to the service's current schedule of fees. This fee structure is designed to encourage the timely processing of items and maintain an efficient flow within our storage facilities.
Disposal of Merchandise
Members are required to ship or dispose of their merchandise within 90 days of it arriving in their Blackship mailbox. If any merchandise remains in a Member's suite for more than 90 days (i.e., 91 days or more), the Member acknowledges that the merchandise will be considered forfeited to Blackship. Subsequently, the Member authorizes Blackship to charge the Member's payment method for any accrued storage fees. Upon forfeiture, Blackship retains the right to either sell the merchandise and donate the proceeds to a charity of Blackship's choice or dispose of the items in a legal and environmentally compliant manner.
Amendments to Storage and Disposal Policy
Blackship reserves the right to amend the policies regarding storage fees and disposal of merchandise as deemed necessary. These amendments may reflect changes in operational requirements, legal mandates, or other factors that impact Blackship's business operations. Members will be promptly notified of any significant changes to these policies.
Compliance and Liability
Members agree to comply with these terms and acknowledge that failure to adhere to the Storage Fees and Disposal policy may result in additional charges, loss of merchandise, or other actions as outlined above. Blackship is not liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by the enforcement of these policies. Members are encouraged to manage their stored items proactively to avoid incurring additional fees or losing merchandise.
This addition to the Terms and Conditions ensures that our facilities are utilized efficiently and that all Members have a fair and transparent understanding of the expectations and consequences related to the storage and disposal of merchandise. We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to adhering to these terms.

Interest on Unpaid Invoices.
In the event of unpaid invoices, White Rabbit Express reserves the right to impose an interest charge. An interest rate of 1% per month will be applied to the outstanding amount of any unpaid invoice from the date it becomes overdue. This interest will compound monthly, meaning that each month's interest charge will be added to the principal amount, which may accrue interest in subsequent months. The account holder is responsible for ensuring timely payment to avoid incurring these interest charges. Should there be any dispute or query related to an invoice, the account holder must communicate promptly with White Rabbit Express to resolve the matter. We aim to maintain transparent and fair business practices and encourage open dialogue with our customers. If you believe an error has been made concerning your invoice or the interest applied, please get in touch with us using the communication methods specified in the 'Notices' section. This interest provision is designed not as a punitive measure but as an incentive for timely payment, ensuring the smooth operation of our services for all customers.
Settlement of Invoices
Before we can release, ship, or forward any goods affiliated with your account, all outstanding invoices associated with your account must be fully settled. Failure to clear any outstanding invoices will result in the withholding of your package until the due amount is paid in full. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that all financial obligations with our service are addressed promptly to prevent any delays or interruptions in the shipping process.
