title to products until delivered and paid for by a buyer, and at no point
during the provision of our Services will we have title to the products (except

which in either circumstance ownership of the product(s) shall transfer fully
to Aladdinne);
(e) in order to
facilitate transactions between you and the buyer, we will raise invoices and

in accordance with clause 4.2 (h). Such invoices and credit notes shall be
provided to you in electronic format; and

sole discretion to choose and amend the pricing of products manually, via a
pricing engine or through an application program interface (API) provided on

5. Fees and Payments
5.1 The fees applicable
for using our Services depend on the business model selected. The fees are
included and detailed in the Shipping & Delivery and may vary in the future. The Service, that is
in effect on the date of sale of the relevant product, shall govern the
transaction.

business or third parties engaged to provide the Services may charge you for:
(a) listing products; (b) a percentage of a sales transaction; (c) using our
delivery, warehousing and logistics services; (d) payment processing fees,
chargeback or related fees; (e) customs or other taxes we may incur in
providing you the Services; (f) costs we may incur if you breach clause 4.2;

Site as supported by our standard functionality and enabled for your account.
We shall not be liable for any incorrect bank account details provided by you,
and the consequences thereof.
5.5 To authorize
payments to you, we may be required to create an account for you with our
third-party payment processors, including accepting their standard terms and
conditions and submitting your details to them on your behalf. You hereby
authorize us to do so and we shall not be liable to you for any damage or loss
you may incur as a result.
5.6 You agree that we
may choose to offer discounts against your products. In such instance, we will

5.7 If you wish to sell
your products to buyers Out of UAE, you hereby authorize us to list the
products at a higher price to cover shipping and handling fees which will be
charged back from you as commission. Furthermore, when importing products,
there is a Local VAT & tax levy that we are required to pay which goes
directly to the UAE government for clearance of imported products. Even though products
exported are subject to 0% UAE VAT, the UAE government will charge us VAT at
the time of import. Therefore, you agree that we can deduct a Local VAT %
charge on the sale price of the products sold into Out of UAE.
As per of the UAE VAT
Decree law, the definition of recoverable input tax is as follows:
The input tax that is
recoverable by a taxable person for any tax period is the total of input tax
paid for goods and services which are used or intended to be used for making
any of the following:
a. taxable supplies;
b. supplies that are
made outside the state which would have been taxable supplies had they been
made in the state; and
c. Supplies specified in
the Executive Regulation of this Decree-Law that are made outside the state,
which would have been treated as exempt had they been made inside the state.
5.8 If you have provided
your VAT registration details, we will issue the invoice to the buyer on your
behalf and remit to you the full amount collected from the buyer less any of
our commissions.
5.9 If you have failed
to provide your VAT registration details, we may purchase the product from you
and resell the product to the buyer in accordance with clause 4.4 (a). You
agree that we will deduct Local VAT % from the payment remitted to you, unless
a VAT invoice from you can be provided.
5.10 Notwithstanding
these Seller Terms and without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, you
acknowledge our right to:
(a) withhold all and any
amounts owing to you to recover from such amounts all losses or damages
suffered by us or a buyer, as solely determined by us, including with respect

ANNEXURE NO. 1
Product Listing Ads Service
a) During the Term and subject to the provisions
of the Seller Terms, the sellers will be able to avail Aladdinne’s Product
Listing Ads (PLA) Services. PLA Advertising Service is a performance-based
marketing solution that allows you to advertise your products to the customers
on Platform.
b) By opting for PLA, the sellers will be able to bid
the maximum amount that they are willing to pay for the Keywords for the
purposes of enhancing the visibility of their products. Aladdinne will
determine the maximum spend limit available to a seller for the PLA Services (“PLA
Spend Limit”). Within the PLA Spend Limit, the seller can select the
budget they wish to allocate to PLA across multiple campaigns. The more
competitive the bid, the more likely the ad is to be displayed when it matches
a customer’s shopping query. PLA shall be made available on a cost-per-click (“CPC”)
basis until the PLA Spend Limit is exhausted.
c) The PLA Service shall be made available through
the Aladdinne Ad Manager on Aladdinne’s seller portal (Seller Lab).
d) Aladdinne does not guarantee a specific placement
for the PLA Ads on the Platform.
e) The seller agrees that making a bid does not
guarantee the placement of the listing as the ad slots are made available to
the most competitive bids. However, the seller further agrees the most
competitive bid for the selected keyword may be rejected or such
listings/offers may be taken down at any time by Aladdinne in the event such
ads violate the provisions of the applicable laws or any guidelines or policies
in relation to such ads.
f) Aladdinne reserves the right to determine all
aspects of the PLA Services and may modify, restrict, or discontinue any
services and tools offered through the PLA Services at any time without notice
and without liability.
g) Aladdinne has the sole right and discretion to
reject or remove or suspend any ad or campaign without notice and without any
liability.
Product Listing Ads Fees
PLA Fees is based on an auction system that allows
sellers to avail PLA Services within the PLA budget allocated by Aladdinne. The
PLA Fees shall be determined on the basis of: (a) the seller’s selection of the
bid amount indicated against the Keywords, and (b) the number of stocks keeping
units that it wishes to bid on for the Keywords made available by Aladdinne.
Such an amount shall be reflected in the invoice issued to the seller by Aladdinne.
