DISCLAIMER

This document defines the different responsibilities and specifies the parties liable for different
in executing the processes involved in logistics, to ensure a better customer experience.

1. Purpose of the Disclaimer

To handle the logistics, Zepo Technologies and their clients are working with FedEx, Aramex
DotZot, Delhivery & DHL (Only International) Courier Companies. This disclaimer aims to
clarify the fact that issues in logistics in India are sometimes inevitable, regardless of
the Courier Company that Zepo and its clients tie up with.

FedEx, Aramex, DotZot, Delhivery & DHL are the best logistics service providers in India, with
years of experience in the field. However, since the logistics infrastructure in India is not up to
the mark, Zepo Technologies has to work within limitations when dealing with our partners.

These issues arise because of glitches in the work systems of the respective Courier
Companies. Zepo Technologies cannot interfere with them in any way.

2. Clarification of Roles of Zepo and Courier Companies

In the interaction between Zepo Technologies Pvt Ltd and the client using the logistics service,
Zepo is the third party Logistics Aggregator. Zepo Technologies has tied-up with Courier
Companies, namely FedEx, Aramex, Delhivery, DotZot and DHL (Only International) to provide
the logistics service to ecommerce stores that are availing the services of Zepo Technologies.

Zepo and the Courier Companies are 2 separate entities that have tied up to provide logistics
assistance. Zepo plainly acts as the intermediary between the online store owner and the
logistics service provider, and negotiates a cost-effective deal for the client.

The services provided, however, are solely the responsibility and liability of the
Courier Company.

Zepo resells the services of the courier companies, just like a travel booking website resells the
services of an airline company. In the case of the Zepo and courier company tie-up, all
responsibility regarding the quality of service provided, lies with the Courier Company. Just like
if the service on a flight is unsatisfactory, the customer does not lodge a complaint with the
travel website but holds the airline company responsible.

3. Checking Pickup Status of Orders

Once a client schedules a pickup, he is advised to check the pickup number from the Zepo
dashboard. Only the Courier Company, however, can clarify the status of the pickup.

Logistics is India is still in its early phases, and approximately 5-7% of the pickups are not
completed on time. This is common among all major Courier Companies across India. That is
why, to give the client more options, Zepo provides tie -ups with multiple Courier Companies.
The client can pick the Courier Company that best satisfies his requirements.

A new pickup location is likely to face a delay in pickup initially. This get streamlined over a
span of time.

10
4. Shipment Delivery Delays

In case the Courier Company fails to deliver the package within the expected deliver time set
beforehand, the client can raise the issue with the respective Courier Company. Only the
Courier Company can provide the reason for the delay.

4.1 Delivery Exception

An exception occurs when a package is temporarily delayed while in transit. Every effort is
made to deliver every package as soon as possible, so an exception does not necessarily
denote a late shipment. The status exception explains the most recent exception in the scan
activity section.

5.1 COD Remittance Cycles

For all the shipments that are delivered between 1st and 15th of a particular month, the
remittance reports will be shared by the 30th of the same month.

For all the shipments that are delivered between 16th and 30th/31st of a particular month, the
remittance reports will be shared by the 15th of the following month.
The Reports need to be verified and approved within 7 days of receipt of reports.
Any dispute raised after 60 days of delivery date of the shipment will not be entertained.

5.2 Billing of shipments

The billing and collection of the courier charge will be done on a pre-paid basis. The courier
charge will be calculated depending on the physical dimensions of weight and dimensions as
provided by the shipper. In case a discrepancy is found in the physical dimensions at a later
date, the shipper will be asked to pay the difference amount. In case the difference amount is
not paid within 7 days of notification, the difference amount will be deducted from the security
deposit.

6. Procedure for dispatch, Shipment Refusals, Failed Deliveries and Returns

6.1 Procedure for dispatch

Client needs to ship the consignment with print outs of the system generated shipping labels
generated through Zepo Couriers dashboard only. Penalty charges will be levied for use of
manual labels. Any loss or damage resulting from manual label will not be entertained.

6.2 Refusals

In the event of an end the customer refusing the shipment, the consignment will be shipped
back to the client. The client shall be charged the shipping charges for 2 sides – to the end
customer, and then back to the client.

The time taken to return the shipment will be 10-15 days, depending upon the Zone. The time
taken to return the shipment could be longer, because the parcel is kept for 7 days at the
warehouse. After that, it goes to the original account holder. Only then is the shipment
returned to the client.

6.3 Return In Case of Failed Deliveries

The Courier Company attempts to deliver any product 3 times during a period of maximum 7
days. If all 3 attempt to deliver fail, the package is returned to the client. The Courier Company
or Logistics Aggregator will not inform the client in case of a return. The client is advised to
keep a track of the consignment until it is delivered back to them.

6.4 Returns by End Customers

In case the end customer wants to return the shipment, the client is requested to schedule the
pickup from the customer’s address. While generating the pickup, the client is required to
mention the customer’s address as the pickup address. The client’s address should be
mentioned as the shipping/delivery address.

Once the shipping label is generated, the client is requested to mail it to the end customer. The
customer is required to take a printout of the same and hand it over to the pickup guy along
with the consignment.

The consignment will then be shipped to the client from the customer’s address.

7. Delivery to Incorrect Address

The chances of an incorrect delivery are usually less than 2%. In the event of an incorrect
delivery, the client is requested to write to support@zepo.in to direct it to the right location.
The Courier Company will deliver the consignment at no extra cost.

8. Insurance Claims

To claim the insurance on any product, the client is requested to write to


support@zepo.in com to start the process of claiming the insurance.

There is a possibility of breakage of fragile item while it is being shipped. The client is
requested to keep the following points in mind while shipping such items:

Proper packaging material should be used to ensure the safety of such items. On delivery, the
end customer should be asked to check the product in front of the courier delivery guy to
ensure the condition of the product. A signed Manifest, Invoice of the product and pictures of
the shipment with and without packaging will be required to initiate the claim in case of
damages.

The customer should be asked to not accept the product if it is not in good condition. They
should be requested to take a snapshot of the same and send it to the client, so as to have a
proof of the same.
The client should direct the customer to receive the product only after checking the
condition. If the end customer accepts a damaged product, the insurance claim shall not be
entertained later.

9. COD Remittance Reports

A client can always check the status of COD Remittance Reports by logging in to the Zepo
Couriers Dashboard. However, the client is advised to maintain an Excel sheet with himself.
The client is requested to keep a track of all the delivered orders, along with their Tracking
Numbers, in this Excel sheet. This is to assist them in cross verifying the report shared with
them at the time of bill collection.

10. Shipping Forms

While shipping interstate, the client is requested to fill up all the necessary forms and attach
them with the consignment. Without the Sales Form, the consignment will not be delivered and
will be stuck in transit and returned to the shipper.

Find all the forms required while shipping products here.

11. Shipment Status

Once a shipment is dispatched, the client can track the status of the shipment by using the
Tracking/Docket Number.

On the Zepo Couriers dashboard, the client can see the status of consignment in the ‘Manage
Shipment’ section.

To check the detailed status, the client is requested to visit the respective Courier

Company’s website.

12. Multiple Pick-up locations

Pick-up services may face issues due to operational concerns of the courier company
especially in case of new pickup locations. The marketplace owner/vendor has to
coordinate with the respective courier company for the first few pick-ups to happen effectively.

escalate the issue with Zepo.
