    By using the Services, placing an order, or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

    1. Eligibility

    You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract to use the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

    2. Our Services

    FetchBox provides a retail device-return service designed to help customers retrieve laptops and similar equipment from a recipient at another location.

    As part of the Services, FetchBox may provide some or all of the following:

    • an empty box or shipping kit;
    • packing materials;
    • printed instructions;
    • a prepaid return label;
    • order and shipment tracking information; and
    • related customer support.

    FetchBox is a starter / retail service only. FetchBox does not provide warehouse storage, inventory management, deployment services, IT asset disposition, or data destruction services unless expressly stated in writing.

    3. Orders

    When you place an order, you agree to provide accurate and complete information, including recipient details, shipping addresses, and billing information.

    All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. We may reject, cancel, or limit any order at our discretion, including in cases of suspected fraud, pricing errors, carrier limitations, or service unavailability.

    You are responsible for reviewing your order carefully before submitting it.

    4. Pricing; Shipping; Payment

    Prices for the Services are shown at checkout and may include or exclude taxes, shipping charges, carrier surcharges, and other fees as stated at the time of purchase.

    By placing an order, you authorize FetchBox and its payment processor to charge your selected payment method for all amounts due, including applicable taxes, shipping fees, and related charges.

    If your payment method is declined, invalid, or cannot be processed, we may suspend or cancel your order.

    We may update our pricing at any time, but price changes will not affect orders already accepted.

    5. Address Accuracy and Delivery Information

    You are responsible for providing accurate delivery and recipient information.

    FetchBox may use third-party tools to validate addresses, but you remain responsible for confirming that the information submitted is correct. We are not responsible for failed deliveries, delays, extra charges, or losses caused by inaccurate or incomplete address information provided by you.

    6. Carrier Services and Third Parties

    FetchBox relies on third-party carriers, shipping providers, payment processors, and other service providers to perform portions of the Services.

    We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, delays, service failures, or decisions of third-party providers, including but not limited to shipping carriers and payment processors.

    Your use of any third-party service may also be subject to that provider's own terms and policies.

    7. Customer Responsibilities

    You agree that you are responsible for:

    • providing accurate order, billing, and shipping information;
    • obtaining any necessary permission to send a kit to the recipient;
    • ensuring the recipient follows the packing and return instructions;
    • ensuring the returned item is lawfully owned or controlled by you or your organization; and
    • complying with all applicable laws.

    You agree not to use the Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or misleading purpose.

    8. No Guarantee of Return

    FetchBox helps facilitate the retrieval process, but we do not guarantee that any recipient will return a laptop, charger, accessory, or other property.

    Our service is fulfilled once we have processed the order and initiated shipment of the retrieval kit. We are not responsible if the recipient refuses, delays, or fails to return the item.

    9. Risk of Loss; Packaging; Returned Items

    You understand and agree that returned devices and other property may be lost, stolen, delayed, damaged, or improperly packed while in transit or while handled by third-party carriers.

    FetchBox does not take title to, possession of, or responsibility for your property beyond arranging the retrieval workflow described in the Services.

    Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, you assume the risk of loss for any item sent through the Services, including loss or damage caused by:

    • shipping carrier delays or mishandling;
    • theft or loss in transit;
    • improper packing by the recipient;
    • incorrect shipping information provided by you; or
    • events outside our reasonable control.

    10. No Data Services

    FetchBox does not inspect, wipe, erase, destroy, secure, recover, transfer, or back up any data on any laptop or device.

    You are solely responsible for all data, software, files, and information stored on any device involved in the Services. FetchBox will not be liable for any data loss, data exposure, privacy incident, or security issue relating to any device.

    11. Refunds and Cancellations

    Orders may only be canceled before fulfillment begins, and any refund is subject to our refund policy and any non-recoverable costs already incurred.

    Once an order has been processed, shipped, or handed off for fulfillment, it may be non-refundable.

    If a pricing or processing error occurs, we may cancel the order and issue an appropriate refund, or correct the error and give you the option to proceed.
