Definitions.
1. “Carrier Charges” means any postage, label fees, and other charges, penalties, or fees, as well as any applicable taxes or surcharges, charged by a third-party shipping carrier in connection with the purchase of shipping labels and other services from such carrier via the EasyPost APIs.

Fees for EasyPost APIs.
1. Service Fees. EasyPost shall charge fees based upon Customer’s use of the EasyPost APIs (the “Service Fees”). Service Fees shall be equal to either a fee per each label purchased or a subscription fee based upon an annual quantity estimate provided by Customer. The Service Fees shall include: (a) one (1) free Tracker API call per label purchased; (b) one (1) free Address Verification API call per label purchased; and (c) the creation of up to three (3) free Rating API calls per label purchased (i.e., up to a 3:1 ratio of Rating API calls to label purchased). In the event Customer’s usage exceeds the annual quantity estimate specified in the applicable Order Form by more than 125%, EasyPost reserves the right to amend the subscription fee payable under such Order Form based upon the increased usage.
2. Overage Fees. To the extent that Customer’s usage of the EasyPost APIs exceeds what is included with the Service Fees, as set forth in Section 3.1, EasyPost shall charge overage fees (the “Overage Fees”) as follows: (a) two cents ($0.02) per each additional Tracker API call; (b) two cents ($0.02) per each additional Address Verification API call for addresses located in the United States; (c) six cents ($0.06) per each additional Address Verification API call for addresses located outside of the United States; and (d) two cents ($0.02) per each additional Rating API call in excess of the 3:1 ratio set forth above.
3. Shipping Insurance. Customer will be enrolled automatically for EasyPost Shipping Insurance (“Shipping Insurance”) and may purchase insurance for a fee of fifty cents ($0.50) for fifty dollars ($50) of insurance coverage per parcel, with the option to purchase additional insurance coverage for a fee equal to one percent (1.0%) of any insured shipment’s value. If Customer fails to provide a shipment value at the time of label purchase, the insurance policy will be issued with a fifty dollar ($50) coverage limit. Customer may un-enroll from automatic EasyPost Shipping Insurance by submitting a request through Customer’s dashboard or to EasyPost Support. Additionally, Customer may purchase Shipping Insurance on a per parcel basis through the EasyPost APIs.
4. Payment of Service Fees and Carrier Charges. All Service Fees and any applicable Carrier Charges shall be due at the time of the transaction or as set forth in the applicable Order Form. Overage Fees shall be charged on a monthly basis. All Service Fees, Carrier Charges, and Overage Fees for the use of the EasyPost APIs shall be paid via Customer’s EasyPost Wallet. If Customer’s EasyPost Wallet does not have sufficient funds available for such payment, any remaining balance will be due immediately in accordance with the Agreement.
5. Ongoing Use of EasyPost APIs. In the event that Customer continues to use the EasyPost APIs after the termination or expiration of the applicable Order Form, then such use will remain subject to the terms of the Master Customer Agreement and this Addendum, provided that: (a) either party may terminate Customer’s right to use the EasyPost APIs upon written notice to the other, and (b) the pricing will be according to the Developer Plan Pricing (defined below) and other terms of Section 3 of the EasyPost Terms of Service, available at https://www.easypost.com/legal/terms, will apply to Customer’s use of the EasyPost APIs.
6. Developer Plan Pricing. In the event that Customer has not entered into a separate Order Form with EasyPost that determines pricing for use of the EasyPost APIs, or where Customer’s Order Form has terminated or expired, Customer agrees to pay in accordance with the following Developer Plan Pricing (the “Developer Plan Pricing”) for use of the EasyPost APIs.
  1. Service Fees. The Service Fees under the Developer Plan Pricing will be equal to five cents ($0.05) per each label purchased through the EasyPost APIs.
  2. Waiver of Service Fees. EasyPost agrees to waive the Service Fees under the Developer Plan Pricing for the first thirty-six thousand (36,000) labels purchased through the EasyPost APIs in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, up to a maximum of three thousand (3,000) labels purchased per month. The Overage Fees set forth in Section 2.2 apply to the Developer Plan Pricing.
  3. Developer Plan Pricing Use Restrictions. This waiver of Service Fees is applied based upon the aggregate number of labels purchased by Customer as well as any purchases by related subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, agents, and contractors. The creation of multiple Accounts by, at the direction of, or for the benefit of Customer is strictly prohibited without written consent from EasyPost. Customer agrees to pay fees based on the aggregate number of labels purchased by Customer, including backpaying for fees that were inadvertently waived for Customer due to multiple Customer Accounts. EasyPost Developer Plan Pricing is available for business engaging in direct to consumer shipping and not available as a white-label or resale feature. EasyPost may suspend Customer’s accounts if Customer operates multiple Accounts without EasyPost’s written approval or uses EasyPost’s Developer Plan Pricing to white-label or resell the EasyPost APIs.
