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 include a discount in the invoice raised from you to the buyer, and will pay for this discount by adjusting our commission.

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 to: (i) products that infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights; or (ii) your fraudulent conduct.

(b) upon suspension or termination of your account or your use of the Services, set off against any payments to be made to you, an amount determined by us to be adequate to cover chargebacks, refunds, adjustments or other amounts paid to buyers in connection with your sale transactions for a three (3) month period. At the end of such three (3) month period following suspension or termination, we will disburse you any amount not used to offset chargebacks, refunds, adjustments or such other amounts paid to buyers or seek reimbursement from you via any of the following for any additional amount required to offset chargebacks, refunds, adjustments or other amounts paid to buyers, as applicable: (i) by deducting from future payments owed to you; (ii) reversing any credits to your account; (iii) charging your credit card; or (iv) seeking such reimbursement from you by any other lawful means. You further authorize us to use any or all of the foregoing methods to seek reimbursement, including the debiting of your credit card or bank account.

5.11 You agree to indemnify and hold us, our parent company, subsidiaries and affiliates and our and their directors, officers, agents, employee, suppliers, subcontractors or licensors harmless from and against any losses, damages and expenses (including legal fees and attorney’s fees) arising out of or relating to any claims or demands made by any third-party due to or arising out of: a) your breach of this section 5 or clause 4.2 (h); or b) your violation of any applicable laws or regulations.

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.
