SUBMITTING A CLAIM

Should an issue arise with a package, Customer agrees to notify Terra Firma of such issue twenty (20) days of shipping label creation.

All damaged property for which payment (not repair cost) or replacement has been requested or made, must on request, be returned to EasyPost. FAILURE TO RETAIN DAMAGE PROPERTY MAY AFFECT FINAL SETTLEMENT OF CLAIM.

CONDITIONS

1. By purchasing the shipping insurance offered by Terra Firm, Customer agrees not to file a dispute with its payment service prior to notifying Terra Firm of an issue with its package and prior to the finalization of the resulting insurance claim should a package be lost, stolen, or damaged.

EasyPost Insurance will not cover any package that is already being processed by other carrier insurance(s). EasyPost Insurance will not process any claims which are initiated, pending, or completed by, another insurance provider.

Customer must provide Terra Firma with (a) a copy of my original invoice, (b) a note detailing damage sufficient to substantiate loss or stating package had failed to be delivered, (c) and photos displaying the damage to the product and packaging (if applicable). Customer should hold damaged items in the event they are requested during claim processing. All damaged property for which payment (not repair cost) or replacement has been requested or made, must on request, be returned to EasyPost. FAILURE TO RETAIN DAMAGE PROPERTY MAY AFFECT FINAL SETTLEMENT OF CLAIM.
4. Claims regarding loss where the carrier’s tracking records have the shipment marked as delivered will not be honored, unless documentation from the carrier is provided, which acknowledges a mistake in the tracking information, or if adequate proof is provided to support theft or mishandling.
5. Claims regarding loss or damage where the shipment is signed for will not be honored unless adequate proof is provided to support theft or mishandling.
6. For claims regarding damage, Terra Firma and/or EasyPost may request for the item to be examined and a repair quote to be issued and submitted to Terra Firma and/or EasyPost for review. If the repair service is able to restore the item to its intended condition, Terra Firma and/or EasyPost may choose to settle the claim for the value of the repair, rather than the full value of the item.

9. Any covered loss will be credited by EasyPost directly to Terra Firma’s EasyPost account within thirty (30) days of claim submittal; provided that EasyPost receives (i) the claim and (ii) all required claim documentation and requested damaged goods where applicable. Terra Firma will thereafter credit Customer’s account directly for any covered loss within twenty (20) days of receipt of funds from EasyPost.

No suit or action for the recovery of any claim under this Policy shall be sustainable in any court of law or equity unless commenced within twelve (12) months after you discover the occurrence which gives rise to the claim, provided, however, that if by the laws of the State within which this Policy is issued, such limitation is invalid, then any such claim shall be void unless such action or suit commences with the shortest limit of time permitted by the laws of that State.
11. Banded boxes and pallets of boxes are treated as one single package.
12. If a part of a pair or set is lost or damaged, Terra Firma and EasyPost will only pay a reasonable and fair portion of the total value of the pair or set and NOT the total value.
