A reroute is a request to change a delivery address from what was originally requested. Specifically, a reroute is a change: From one street address to another in the same city/state From Hold For Pick Up instructions to a request for a delivery From delivery instructions to a request for Hold For Pick Up From one Hold For Pick Up to another in the same city/state We will determine the routing of all shipments, including the mode of transportation used, and may use air transportation, ground transportation or any combination thereof in providing our services. We reserve the right to divert any shipment (including use of other carriers) in order to facilitate its delivery. If a shipper wants to reroute a shipment, the shipper must call 310 568-9175 and provide us with the Clockwork Express Inc. tracking number. If a recipient calls to reroute a shipment, they must provide us with the applicable Clockwork Express Inc. tracking number. We may at our option require reroute authorization from the shipper. If the shipper calls to reroute a shipment, the shipper must provide us with the new destination address for the package, including a valid contact telephone number for the recipient. We will attempt to honor the new delivery request, but our verification and handling procedures may result in delays. Our Guarantees do not apply to shipments that are rerouted. Only one reroute will be allowed per package. There is no extra charge when the sender authorizes us to Hold For Pick Up instead of the package being delivered by a courier. We may require photo identification of the person authorized to pick up the package. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Account Numbers -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- For transactions other than "Bill Sender," "Bill Recipient" or "Bill Third Party," you must pay by check, money order or credit card payment. Payment is required when you give us your package. For "Bill Sender" and "Bill Third Party" transactions, packages will not be accepted unless you provide a valid Clockwork Express Inc. account number. For "Bill Recipient" transactions, packages can be tendered without payment, but in order for the package to be delivered, the recipient must give a valid Clockwork Express Inc. account number or pay with check, money order or credit card at time of delivery. If the recipient refuses to pay, the sender will be responsible for all charges. Alternatively, the package may be processed as an undeliverable shipment. (See Undeliverable Packages.) For customers utilizing our quote page or place order page, a valid Clockwork Express Inc. account number is required for "Bill Sender," "Bill Recipient" or "Bill Third Party" transactions. Account numbers are issued by Clockwork Express Inc. and are nontransferable. Misuse, including unauthorized consolidation of shipments owned by different parties, may result in a loss of all discounts and/or discontinuance of service. Discounts applicable to an account number of a business are not available to employees of the business utilizing check or credit card for payment. All requests for account numbers are subject to credit investigation and verification by our Credit Department and/or Customer Service Account Confirmation Department. We will establish a credit account for businesses only, and an account may be refused or terminated if business status cannot be confirmed. We do not offer consumer credit privileges. Any individual shipping for personal use must prepay the shipment charges or establish a FedEx account for billing directly to a major credit card. The party to whom a Clockwork Express Inc. account number is issued is liable for all charges to the account. The account holder is responsible for the safekeeping of the account number and should release the number only to those authorized to ship on the account. The account holder bears the risk of all unauthorized use of the account holder's Clockwork Express Inc. account number. We may apply payments made on your account to any unpaid invoices issued to your account. Failure to keep your Clockwork Express Inc. account current (all invoices paid within 15 days from invoice date) may result in your account being placed an “on hold" status. Utilization of an account that has been placed in an “on hold” status may result in your package being delayed, rejected or returned until arrangements for payment are completed. If the account number to be billed is not in good credit standing, the package may be delayed until an alternate form of payment is secured. If a package is held because the account is not in good credit standing, the Guarantee will not apply. You must use your Clockwork Express Inc. account to obtain any applicable discount, if any. Your use of the account number constitutes your agreement that all packages shipped on your account shall be subject to the Clockwork Express Inc. Terms and Conditions, as modified, amended or supplemented.

Use of P.O. box numbers, P.O. Box ZIP Codes or incorrect ZIP Codes, omission of suite numbers, apartment numbers, or the use of old street addresses for recipients who have relocated are examples of addresses requiring corrections. We will not be liable for failing to meet our delivery commitment for any shipment with an incomplete or incorrect address. (See Undeliverable Packages.)

"Bill Sender" means charges will be billed to the sender. The sender's Clockwork Express Inc. account must be current. B. "Bill Recipient" means charges will be billed to the recipient.

If the recipient is billed initially and fails or refuses to make payment for the shipment, the charges may be rebilled to a third party. If not paid by the third party, any additional rebilling must be to the sender's account. (See Section K, Billing Special Handling Fees.) The sender is liable for, and will be billed for, all charges and fees, plus all special handling fees in the event recipient or any third party does not pay. C. "Bill Third Party" means charges will be billed to someone other than the sender or recipient. Charges for shipments within the U.S. may only be billed to a third-party in the U.S. In order to choose this billing option, the Clockwork Express Inc. account number of the third party account must be current. If the third party fails or refuses to pay for the shipment, the charges may be rebilled to another party but subsequent rebills will only be to the sender's account.

If charges exceed the third-party account credit limits, the sender will automatically be billed for all charges. D.
