The Shipper and TSP acknowledge and agree that Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) shall not have any obligations or liability to the TSP unless Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) fails to fulfill its explicit obligations hereunder.

The funds are made available for withdrawal by the TSP’s Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) account when the payment is released or the code is submitted.

This deposit is credited to the TSP’s Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) account. The deposit amount is then deducted from the booked shipping price and the Shipper pays the remaining balance directly to the TSP at the agreed upon time. The service charge and deposit are non-refundable in the event of a completed shipment.
c) Payment on Terms: Certain Shippers may be invited to enroll in Payment on Terms. Enrollment in Payment on Terms allows Shippers to pay for their shipment at a pre-specified duration after delivery. You will be invoiced based on the schedule specified in the Payment on Terms agreement You sign, where You will have the opportunity to review and dispute any discrepancies. Payment by the agreed upon method will be due in accordance with Your written payment terms, unless disputed. If disputed, once the dispute is resolved, payment will be due within 24 hours.

accepting the cancellation and your reason;
accepting the cancellation but providing their own reason and/or comments; or
disputing the cancellation and requesting review by Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) staff.
If your request for cancellation is accepted by the other party, the match will be cancelled and the shipment can either be relisted or deleted.

At Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings)'s sole discretion, and on a case-by-case basis, we may offer the cancellation fee as a discount to a future transaction; provided, however, that in such cases (i) the right to such discount shall be conditioned, and may be given in consideration for the Shipper consummating a future transaction with Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) within 365 days following the issuance of such credit, and (ii) such discount shall have no cash value and shall not be transferable.

The cancellation rate is equal to the total number of cancellations divided by the total number of matches. The TSP’s transaction fee will incur an excess cancellation surcharge (see section 9.d.1) based on the TSP’s previous 12-month cancellation rate on Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings). If a Brokered Load is automatically cancelled because the Shipper to Broker transaction has been cancelled, the cancellation will not be posted on the Carrier’s profile or count as an excessive cancellation.

22. Feedback. For each Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) transaction, the Shipper and TSP are allowed to rate each other by leaving feedback for one another. TSPs leave feedback directly through Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) whereas Shippers leave feedback through third-party platform Yotpo. You agree Your use of Yotpo is subject to the Yotpo Terms of Service. Feedback should be left only after a shipment has been delivered or a cancellation has been completed. Feedback for TSPs consists of the Shipper leaving a star rating (with a 1-star rating being the lowest and a 5-star rating being the highest), writing a short comment about their experience with the TSP, and indicating if they would or would not work with the TSP again for future shipments. Feedback for Shippers consists of the TSP leaving a rating (positive, negative, or neutral) and writing a short comment about their experience with the Shipper. You acknowledge that your feedback consists of comments left by other Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) users and a composite feedback score compiled by Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings). You agree that You will not use your Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) feedback in any venue other than Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings). Users should always use caution and good judgment when leaving feedback for another user because You could be held legally responsible for damages to a user’s reputation if a court were to find that the remarks constitute libel or defamation. Under federal law (the Communications Decency Act), because Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) does not censor feedback or investigate it for accuracy, Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) is not legally responsible for the remarks that users post, even if those remarks are defamatory. However, this law does not protect the person who leaves the feedback from responsibility for it.
a) Feedback Calculations for TSPs.
Feedback scores for TSPs are calculated after completion of a shipment when a Shipper opts to answer the question "Would you use this transporter again?" The Shipper can select thumbs up(yes, +1) or thumbs down(no, -1). The “Would Use Again” percentage reflects the number of thumbs up (+1) or thumbs down (-1) ratings received by a TSP. Star ratings are calculated when a Shipper rates a TSP’s services between 1 and 5 stars (with 1-star rating being the lowest and a 5-star rating being the highest) after either completion or cancellation of a shipment.
b) Feedback Calculations for Shippers.
Feedback scores for Shippers are calculated when a TSP gives a Shipper a positive (+1), neutral (0), or negative (-1) score. A Shipper’s overall feedback score is the difference between the number of TSPs who left a positive rating and the number of TSPs who left a negative rating. A TSP can only influence a Shipper’s feedback score by one positive, one negative, or one neutral rating. When a TSP leaves more than one of a particular type of feedback for a Shipper, for example three positive ratings for three different transactions, the Shipper’s score only increases by +1. While the score is only increased by +1, each of the feedback comments left by the TSP are made available for the community to read in the Feedback Received section of a Shipper’s profile. Likewise, if a TSP leaves three positive ratings and two negative ratings, only one of the positives and one of the negatives will count towards a Shipper’s feedback score, resulting in a net score of zero.
c) Resolving Feedback Disputes.
To maintain the integrity of the feedback system, feedback left for a user is a permanent part of that user’s profile. Feedback comments cannot be edited at a later date. Users should resolve any misunderstandings prior to leaving feedback, as most misunderstandings can and are resolved quickly through direct communication. There may be times when You are unhappy with, disagree with, or regret feedback that You left for another user, or that may have been left for You. If You have a disagreement over feedback that has been left, You have the following options to respond:
Reply to Feedback Received. Share your side of the story by responding to any comment that has been left for you. Your response will be shown directly below the comment left by the other Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) user.
Feedback Comment Removal. Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) will remove individual feedback comments only in very rare circumstances, such as but not limited to, when they violate certain Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) policies and instances when Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) receives a valid court order to remove feedback.
23. Dispute Resolution. Disputes between You and Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) regarding our Services should be reported to Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) Support and are otherwise governed by Section 38 of this User Agreement. We will attempt to resolve any disputes between you and another user through customer support protocols.

If You report a dispute to Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings), we will make reasonable efforts to help both parties communicate; however, all disputes must be resolved directly between You and the other party. Therefore, if we are contacted by a user who claims to have a dispute with You regarding transactions completed on Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) and they request your contact information (including, but not limited to, any of your provided phone numbers and/or contact information) to settle the dispute, You expressly authorize us to release your provided contact information to the Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) user and You agree to release us from any and all liability associated therewith. We encourage You to report all user-to-user disputes to law enforcement officials, or a certified mediation or arbitration entity.

Generally, restricted or perishable items that can lawfully be transported by mail or commercial carrier are permitted on Kings Idea Connections and Outsourcing (Kings Global Fundings) (see U.S. Postal Service Publication 52 for additional details). Full responsibility rests with the consigner to comply with all postal and non-postal laws and regulations that relate to the mailing of hazardous, restricted, and perishable material.

shipping incident intake form (each such report or form referred to as a “Case”). Any claimed
loss, damage, or non-delivery must be reported within seven (7) days of the date of actual or

by sufficient documentation (e.g., photos, receipts, police reports, insurance information, etc.)

your incident.
