Privacy Policy.
In the
event that you opt for or are assigned a user

as
part of our security protocols, you are obliged
to
treat such information with utmost
confidentiality
and refrain from disclosing it to any third

Furthermore, you acknowledge that your account
is
strictly for personal use, and you commit not to
grant any other individual access to this
website or
any of its segments using your personalized
address,
user name, password, or any other security
credentials. Consequently, you are solely
accountable for all activities transpiring under
your account. Any consequences, losses, or
damages
directly or indirectly incurred or sustained by
us
as a result of unauthorized activities conducted
by
you, as outlined above, may render you liable
for
criminal or civil actions. You hereby undertake
to:
- Promptly
notify us of any unauthorized access to or
usage
of your user name or password, or any other
security breach.
- Ensure
that you log out of your account at the
conclusion of each session. Exercise
particular
caution when accessing your account from a
public or shared computer to prevent the
viewing
or recording of your password or other

- Abstain

content, resources, or services through any
means other than those officially provided
by
us, including but not limited to automated,
unethical, or unconventional
methods.
- Refrain
from engaging in activities that disrupt or
interfere with our resources, including the
servers and networks to which our website,
resources, and services are

In order
to
safeguard the interests of our valued customers
and
maintain full compliance with legal
requirements, we
generally request customers to furnish evidence
of
an original, valid government-issued photo
identification. Should the provided photo
identification lack the necessary information,
supplementary proof of identity may be
necessitated.
These measures have been instituted as a
proactive
measure against identity theft and are designed
to
guarantee the precise and secure delivery of
your
packages. Your security and the accuracy of our
services are of paramount importance to
us.
SECTION
2: Termination of Use
We
reserve
the right to deactivate any user name, password,
or
other identifier, whether chosen by you or
provided
by us, at our sole discretion, for any reason or
without reason, especially if, in our judgment,
you
have contravened any stipulation of these Terms
of
Use.
Furthermore,
as a component of our service, Kingz provides
you
with a shipping address linked to your account.
This
address is exclusively intended for use in
accordance with the terms delineated herein. Any
usage beyond the specified scope is in violation
of
our terms of service, and we retain the
prerogative
to terminate services accordingly. The shipping
address should not be employed for personal
matters
unrelated to your orders and their
procurement.
SECTION
3: Service Charges and Payment
Structure
You
shall
bear primary responsibility for all expenses,
encompassing transportation charges, potential
surcharges, customs fees, duties, and any other
government-imposed taxes, assessments,
penalties,
and fees. This includes legal costs, such as
lawyers' fees and other legal expenses, incurred
in
connection with the shipment, storage, handling,
re-consignment, return of freight to the
shipper,
disposition, or any other costs that may arise
due
to your breach of this agreement or any defaults
on
your part or on the part of the consignee or
their
representatives. You commit to fulfilling all
such
payments, even in situations where the consignee
is
obligated but refuses to make the payments.
Furthermore, you acknowledge our right to
possess a
lien on any shipped goods in cases where charges
under this agreement remain unpaid.
Consequently, we
may decline to release possession of the goods
until
such outstanding charges are
settled.
While we
provide initial cost quotations, we retain the
prerogative to adjust or impose additional
charges
in the following
circumstances:
- Unforeseen
factors beyond our control result in an
escalation of clearance costs, such as
increased
customs charges, trucking expenses, freight
rates, local shipping fees, or terminal
charges.
- Our
costs rise due to delays outside our sphere
of
control, at which point we may levy an
additional fee for waiting
time.
In such
instances, you are responsible for covering your
proportionate share of all additional charges or
fees incurred, in addition to the originally
quoted
price, prior to the release of your shipment.
Until
we receive payment for all outstanding charges
owed
by you to us, we retain the right to assert a
lien
over the shipment. Please note that we offer
complimentary storage of your general goods for
a
duration of 14 days. Subsequently, if the
requisite
documentation is not presented, or you opt not
to
arrange shipment, a storage fee of $25 per day
will
be imposed until the items are shipped. For
vehicles, storage fees exceeding 7 days will be
$50
per day. Additionally, any shipment or package
left
unclaimed for a period of 3 days following
delivery
to any of our offices or partner locations
worldwide
may be subject to a warehousing fee of $25 per
day
(if we choose to warehouse it), in addition to
any
applicable late payment
charges.
Only
the
payment methods listed on our official websites
are
recognized as valid forms of payment. Presently,
we
accept all major credit and debit cards
denominated
in local currency. We also provide the option
for
individuals to make payments through bank
transfers
and wallet deposits. No individual or entity
beyond
the designated account representatives and
authorized banking institutions, as communicated
by
us, is permitted to accept payments on our
behalf.
We disclaim any responsibility for losses
incurred
in transactions with or payments to unauthorized
parties. The act of making a payment for an
order by
the customer signifies the acceptance of this
agreement and serves as authorization to proceed
with the order.
When you
furnish your payment details, you assert and
guarantee that (1) the credit card information
provided to us is accurate, complete, and
truthful,
(2) you possess the requisite authorization to
utilize said credit card for the intended
purchase,
(3) your credit card company will honor the
charges
incurred by you, and (4) you will settle the
charges
accrued by you at the published prices,
including
any applicable taxes, if applicable. Failure to
adhere to these payment terms, or any other
stipulated terms, grants us the right to
withhold
the processing of order shipment.

transmitting correspondence via email, text
messages, or other digital means from your
desktop
or mobile device to us, it constitutes

express
your consent to receive electronic

administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's

You
hereby
declare and warrant that:

content or
use any content in transactions involving
countries
subject to export or import restrictions under
United States law, or in jurisdictions subject
to
embargo (defined herein as countries or
territories
for which the U.S. has issued embargoes,
currently
including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the
Crimea region).
2. You

other relevant government restricted party
lists,

SECTION
10: Terms of carriage
1. The
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the
domestic
and international transportation of any
shipments
tendered to Kingz through their Kingz Account
shall
be governed by the terms, conditions, and
liability
limitations outlined in the NONNEGOTIABLE Air
Waybill, Label, Manifest, or Ground Manifest
(collectively referred to as "Shipping
Documentation"). Additionally, it will be
subject to
any applicable transportation agreements between
the
Customer and Kingz pertaining to such shipments
and
the terms specified in any relevant Kingz
tariff,
Service Guide, or Standard Conditions of
Carriage.
Copies of these documents are available upon
request
and are considered an integral part of these
Terms
of Use by reference. In the event of any
conflict
between the Shipping Documentation, the existing
terms of any such document, these Terms of Use,
the
transportation agreement, tariff, Service Guide,
or
Standard Conditions of Carriage will take
precedence, in that order of priority. If a
shipment
originates outside the United States, the
contract
of carriage will be established with the Kingz
subsidiary, affiliate, branch, or independent
contractor that initially accepts the
shipment.
2. When
the
Customer employs a Kingz Account to process
shipments destined for locations outside the
United
States or the country of origin, the Customer
shall,
at their sole expense, ensure that the terms and
conditions of international carriage provided by
Kingz, as may be specified by Kingz from time to
time (and subject to amendment or modification
at
the sole discretion of Kingz), are incorporated
onto
the Shipping Documentation as directed by Kingz
for
all such international shipments. The Customer
undertakes to defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless
Kingz, including its officers, directors,
employees,
and agents, from any and all losses, damages,
claims, and associated expenses stemming from
the
Customer's failure to include the international
carriage terms on the Shipping Documentation for
such international shipments, including claims
made
by the recipients of said shipments, as well as
any
failure to comply with Kingz's instructions
regarding the placement of these terms on the
Shipping Documentation for international
shipments.
3.
Printed
Signature: The Customer acknowledges that when
using
a Kingz Account to process shipments bound for
locations outside the United States or the
country
of origin, they must input the name of the
person
responsible for completing the Shipping
Documentation to be printed in lieu of a manual
signature on the Shipping Documentation, as
applicable, for all shipments tendered to Kingz
via
a Kingz Account. The Customer further recognizes
that such a printed name shall be considered
sufficient to constitute the Customer's
signature,
signifying their acceptance of Kingz's terms and
conditions of carriage outlined in the pertinent
transportation agreement, tariff, Service Guide,
Standard Conditions, or Shipping Documentation
under
which the shipment is accepted by Kingz or its
independent contractor.
4.
Unless
otherwise specified, the shipper's address
listed on
the front of any Shipping Documentation is
considered the place of origin and execution,
while
the recipient's address indicated on the face of
the
Shipping Documentation is regarded as the
destination. Unless expressly stated on the
Shipping
Documentation, Primal Global Company,
located at 11969 Plano Rd Ste 150, Dallas, Texas
75243, is considered the initial carrier for all
shipments.
SECTION
11: Quote Rates
The
estimated rate displayed by the Shipping
Calculator
on kingzlogistics.com, if provided, may diverge
from
the actual charges applicable to your shipment.
Discrepancies can arise due to factors such as
the
actual weight, dimensions, and various other
considerations. For precise information on the
calculation of shipping charges, please refer to
the
relevant Kingz Rate Sheets.
SECTION
12: Tracking Updates
In
addition
to the Terms of Use on kingzlogistics.com, the
following supplementary terms and conditions
pertain
to the use of the tracking update subscription
application for requesting tracking information
updates ("Tracking Updates"). Kingz grants you
the
authorization to request Tracking Updates
exclusively for a shipment for which you serve
as
the shipper. You are bound to only seek Tracking
Updates for shipments for which you are the
shipper,
owner, and subject to compliance with these
specific
Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge and accept
that Tracking Updates constitute the exclusive
property of Kingz and are made available to you
free
of charge. Any utilization of Tracking Updates
information is entirely at your own risk.
Tracking
Updates are provided on an "AS IS" basis, and
Kingz
disclaims all warranties and conditions, whether
expressed or implied.
SECTION
13: Right to Decline
Kingz
retains the prerogative to refuse or revoke a
Customer's request for any of our services if
there
is a suspicion of fraud, if the request is
deemed
objectionable, contradictory, illegal, or falls
outside the scope of our company's objectives,
core
values, and service offerings. Additionally, a
customer's request may be annulled under the
following circumstances: submission of
inaccurate
customer, product, or pricing information,
contravention of Nigerian customs shipping
restrictions, or issues related to
payment.
We also
uphold the right to request that a Customer
provides
additional information, as deemed acceptable by
us,
to validate the authenticity of a transaction
before
fulfilling the Customer's request for any of our
services. We may choose not to process or
finalize
any transaction and may cancel any transaction
if we
have a bona fide reason to question its
legitimacy
or doubt the accuracy of any information
provided by
the Customer. Moreover, for risk management
purposes, we may, at our discretion, impose
limitations on the amount and/or the quantity of
orders we can dispatch for any
Customer.
We
firmly
oppose fraudulent and criminal activities
perpetrated through or in connection with our
services. Consequently, in cases where fraud or
criminal activity is suspected, we reserve the
right
to decline service, withhold products and
payments,
report such incidents to relevant law
enforcement
authorities, and furnish pertinent information
to
meet all legal obligations and facilitate
prosecutions. Furthermore, we possess the
authority
to liquidate all items that have remained
unclaimed
or unpaid for by their owners in our warehouses
(located in the USA and Nigeria) for a duration
of
up to 90 days.
SECTION
14: Processing
Parcels
Goods
can be
shipped as they arrive on a weekly basis.
All
goods are consolidated unless otherwise stated by
the
customer. When consolidating the original packaging
will
be kept with the exception of the outer box used in
mailing.
Items that are considered fragile or susceptible to
damage will be shipped in their original packaging.
Loose items, may be placed in boxes for added
protection. In cases where an item is extremely
fragile,
additional crating and packaging will be applied,
and
the associated cost will be borne by the customer.
If
such additional crating is deemed necessary, Kingz
will
notify you to make the required payment through your
account.
Once items arrive at
the
Kingz warehouse for shipment, the final shipping
weight will be determined by Kingz. This final
weight determination takes precedence over any
previous estimates or weight determinations
provided
by other shipping services or online stores.
Customers are expected to settle payments for
their
shipments before the 21-day free storage period
elapses. After this period, storage fees will
commence, and customers will need to cover both
the
storage fees and the shipping fees when they are
ready to ship their items. If no action is taken
within 30 days of a package arriving to our
warehouse, or after parcels are processed we
reserve
the right to discard any packages regardless of
it's
content or value.
SECTION
15: Damager & Loss
In the
event
that a package was previously protected with
insurance prior to shipment, we will collaborate
with the shipper to evaluate any damage or loss
and
initiate a liability claim. If the claim is
approved, the customer will receive a refund
amounting to 75% of the declared package value.
However, if the damaged or lost package was not
insured, the customer will bear full
responsibility
for any damage or loss as outlined in our Terms
of
Use. It's important to note that Kingz will not
refund shipping fees in any of these
cases.
SECTION
16: Open

including features like blog comments, blog

payment charge of 20% of the cost of

fees will be your responsibility, and the
container and your cargo will not be
released

authorities or by us, in accordance with
established
security controls and procedures as mandated by
government authorities and/or carriers. However,
it

We bear
no
liability to you or any other party for any
losses
or expenses resulting from non-compliance with
customs or other government agency documentation
requirements.
SECTION
20: Insurance
Insurance
coverage is based on the stated value of item(s)
in
our warehouse. Items may have been delivered to
our
warehouse without accompanying invoices. In such
cases, it is your responsibility to provide
values
on your account. You agree to verify and upload
your
invoice if any value is inaccurately stated,
enabling us to update it accordingly. Failure to
upload your invoice will result in the
forfeiture of
your right to claim the stated value, and you
will
only be compensated based on our declared
value.
If you
declare a higher value for carriage and pay the
additional charge, our maximum liability will be
the
lesser of your declared value for carriage or
the
actual damage incurred. Please ensure that you
carefully review the terms of the insurance
policy,
as we do not offer all-risk
insurance.
For our
letters, documents, packages, and envelopes, the
highest declared value we allow is US$50 per
shipment (or the equivalent in local currency),
whichever is lower.
For
other
shipments, particularly those of high value,
including, but not limited to, jewelry, artwork,
antiques, precious metals, clocks, inherently
fragile or unique items, the declared value for
carriage is limited to US$50.
The
maximum
declared value for shipments containing glass is
$50. Such shipments include, but are not limited
to,
windshields, plate glass, chinaware, light
bulbs,
televisions, monitors, and glassware. Our
maximum
liability for damage to shipments containing
glass
is $50. The maximum declared values may be
increased
if you opt to pay for special crating and
packaging
to ensure the safe transportation of the
shipment,
along with insurance coverage against damage
during
transit.
However,
if
we determine that crating is necessary for the
safe
shipment of your item due to its sensitive or
fragile nature, you agree to cover the cost of
such
crating, which must be paid before the item is
released.
In cases
where you send more than one package in a
shipment
with a single declared value, the declared value
for
carriage of each package will be calculated by
dividing the total declared value for carriage
by
the number of items in the shipment. In all
instances, our liability will not exceed 50% of
the
combined cost of the goods and the amount paid
for
shipping.
Please
refer
to our insurance policy for detailed terms and
coverage information.
SECTION
21: Disposal of
Property
You, the
consignee, and any authorized agent acknowledge
that
you have been duly notified of the arrival of
your
shipment when you have acknowledged or replied
to
any form of electronic communication, such as a
text
message or email, or when you have received
proof of
delivery from a courier company. If, after 14
days,
the shipment remains unclaimed or delivery
cannot be
completed, we may take one of the following
actions
at the shipper's expense: return the shipment,
or
dispose of it without further notice to the
shipper
and consignee. In such cases, we shall not be
liable
for any consequences, and no such action shall
release the shipper or consignee from any
liability
or lien.
Alternatively,
if possible, we may keep the items in our
warehouse
for a reasonable period, subject to the payment
of a
warehousing fee of $50 per day. This fee must be
paid by the shipper before the items are
released.
Any items not claimed after 14 days in our
warehouse
are at the customer's risk.
To
enforce a
claim, legal action must be initiated within 30
days
of delivery, provided that a prior written claim
has
been submitted to us without receiving a
response
within 15 days thereafter. For the purposes of
this
section, items are considered delivered to the
shipper once the shipper is notified of their
arrival, regardless of whether the shipper takes
actual physical possession of them. If the
shipper
is withholding any sum of money owed to us, the
30-day period does not begin until the full
amount
is paid to us.
If an account is shut
down
due to fraudulent activity, any and all parcels
in
transit or on hand, will be held for an
announced
period of time and forfeited. If after an
account is
shutdown the account holder continues to send
packages, said parcels will be forfeited
regardless
of the content and value.
