It is the responsibility of the customer to track the shipment. If the package is un-trackable, or there is a delivery exception, please contact the eGauge shipping department via email (shipping@egauge.net). Any charges resulting from a package deemed un-deliverable by the courier due to inaccurate information provided by customer, will be charged to the customer. Domestic Shipping All orders are shipped via FedEx Ground, unless specified otherwise by the customer. If desired, the customer may provide a FedEx, UPS, or DHL account number, and will be billed by courier directly. Shipping rates are based on carrier rates. Special packaging requests (such as split or partial shipment requests) or rush orders will result in additional charges. International shipments eGauge Systems provides international customers with the following shipping options: eGauge prefers to ship via FedEx as it usually provides the most timely and reliable service. FedEx will contact the customer to collect any import duties/taxes. eGauge is not responsible for these charges, they are not dictated by eGauge, and eGauge has no control over them. The customer should research any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees or customs clearance charges that may be incurred from the import of eGauge products into the customer’s country. eGauge is able to ship via FedEx, UPS, or DHL* Collect, if the customer wishes to use their own shipping account. Note: if a customer chooses to use their own UPS, FedEx, or DHL account, and OPTS OUT of shipping insurance, eGauge is not responsible for any loss or damage in transit. Shipping via DHL may require an additional service charge. eGauge can ship to a US-based freight forwarder which will forward the package on to the final country and provide any relevant product information required for export, at which point the freight forwarder assumes responsibility for transfering the merchandise to the customer. eGauge is not responsible for any damage or loss that occurs between receipt by the freight carrier and the arrival at the final destination. Damages If a shipment is damaged upon receipt, it is the customer’s responsibility to notify eGauge of the damage within 5 business days. Additional information and pictures of the damaged box and item may be requested to aid in the claims process. eGauge will request that the customer hold on to any boxes and damaged items until the claims process is complete. eGauge will file a claim with the carrier and send replacement products as soon as possible. Shortages All shortages not caused by the carrier must be claimed within 5 business days of receipt of shipment. To claim a shortage, the customer should respond to the shipment notification email or email shipping@egauge.net with the invoice number and list of missing materials.

The customer will be notified both 30 days and 14 days prior to the ending of the data coverage period. If payment for renewal is not received by the end of the data coverage period, the coverage will be suspended. After 60 days, the suspended account will be cancelled and will require a $25 fee to reactivate. Early Cancellation If the customer wishes to cancel an active data plan prior to the end of the data coverage period for any reason, the customer will be charged a one-time fee of $100 and be refunded the prorated unused portion of their data coverage. It is the responsibility of the customer to determine proper connectivity to the network prior to purchasing a data plan. Coverage Availability The customer understands that actual signal availability in any given area depends on a combination of factors and is beyond the control of eGauge Systems. Neither eGauge Systems nor the carrier provider will have any liability to the customer or other third parties for limitations or interruptions in coverage. Service Charges eGauge Systems reserves the right to terminate coverage if eGauge Systems or the carrier provider lose or terminate coverage in a geographic region, or changes in circumstance result in a material adverse impact on eGauge Systems’ cost basis in accessing coverage or if eGauge Systems determines continued support of network services becomes commercially unreasonable. Any unused portion of the data coverage will be refunded to the customer at a prorated amount. Data plan pricing is subject to change upon renewal. Bandwidth and Data Usage Standard data plans sold by eGauge Systems have 2GB guaranteed monthly data usage available. If this usage is exceeded, and it is in the opinion of the carrier or eGauge Systems that excessive data usage is caused by non-eGauge related equipment or other unauthorized usage or misuse, actions such as temporary suspension, line termination, or requirement for a higher tiered rate plan may be taken. No data overage fees are charged. T-Mobile general Terms and Conditions apply to all plans managed and sold by eGauge Systems.
