5. Economic Sanctions Laws

5.1. Economic sanctions laws in the European Union, the United States and a number of other countries prohibit or restrict unlicensed transactions with various parties (i.e., individuals, entities, government regimes) for example because they are identified as engaging in terrorism, narcotics trafficking, weapons proliferation and/or other activities that threaten those countries’ national security, foreign policies or economies or (and again for example), because they are resident in certain countries or have a connection to those countries (“Denied Parties”). Various government agencies publish lists, or descriptions, of such parties (“Denied Parties Lists”). In addition, many countries maintain trade sanctions and embargo programs against specific countries (“Sanctioned Countries”), such that unauthorized transactions involving these Sanctioned Countries or parties who are resident in those countries or have a connection to those countries are prohibited or restricted.

In order to comply with these and other legal requirements, it is JL general policy that items imported from or originating in the following countries and regions may not be sold on Amazon :

• Cuba
• Iran
• North Korea
• Syria
• Sudan
• Crimea Region
• Luhansk Region
• Donetsk Region
• Kherson region
• Zaporizhzhia region
• Any other country or region notified to Merchants by JL from time to time

No shipments or sales to parties in any of these countries may be conducted through JL.

Accounts may not be opened or affiliated with a country or region that JL does not support.

5.2. Additionally, Merchants must not do business with or otherwise engage in or facilitate transactions involving parties, services, and/or goods that are subject to sanctions or other applicable trade control restrictions. This includes, but is not limited to Denied Parties, parties that are owned or controlled by Denied Parties and also parties who are resident in or connected with any country or region if any economic sanctions law that applies to JL, a Merchant or to any buyer, sender or recipient if and to the extent that such laws prohibit the applicable transaction.

5.3. You must ascertain and comply with any sanctions compliance requirements that apply to your transactions, including any updates to any laws that apply to JL, a Merchant or to any buyer, sender or recipient and must indemnify JL against any claim resulting from any breach by you of any sanctions law or and breach by you of this paragraph 5. Non-compliance with sanctions laws and regulations can result in significant civil and/or criminal monetary penalties, as well as possible imprisonment, seizure of goods, and/or a ban from conducting business.

6. Declared value

You hereby undertake to correctly determine declared (customs) value for the items shipped via JL. In particular, You undertake not to lower the declared value intentionally in order to advantage from such undercharge somehow. To determine the declared value correctly, you shall take the item’s price offered to users on the Site plus logistics (shipping) costs applicable to the offline shipping method as the basis for declared value calculation. You also undertake to fully comply with any applicable customs regulations as to the determination of the declared value and shall hold Joom and JL harmless from any losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) and liabilities which Joom, JL and/or its logistics partners may incur as the result of incorrect determination of the declared value (including, but not limited to fines and penalties charged for intentional customs or tax duties evasion). JL reserves the right to determine the declared value for certain items by itself and at its sole discretion in order to provide its logistics partners and customs authorities with correct and reliable data for further customs and tax duties calculation and declaration.

7. Online Shipping

JL only supports online shipping.

“Online shipping” means that you obtain the labels and tracking numbers from the Merchant Help Center, print out the labels, adhere them to the packages, and then pass the packages to the company that is responsible for the pick-up service. Generated labels can be found in the Merchant Help Center.

To use online shipping, you should first set up the API. Links to introductions to the API settings are available below:

• Request shipping online (https://merchant.Amazon .com/docs/api/v3/operations/orders-fulfillOnline)
• Get a printable label (https://merchant.Amazon .com/docs/api/v3/operations/orders-shippingLabel)

Online shipping is essential for JL operations. If you run into problems with setting it up, please contact our merchant support team at amazon.droping.vn@gmail.com

Merchant shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable terms and conditions for the items, including but not limited to the pricing, quantity, specifications, quality standards, inspection, shipping etc.

JL may refuse to process or cancel, without liability for any losses or damages arising out of or in connection with such refusal or cancellation, any online transaction which in JL’s reasonable opinion has insufficient information to constitute a binding contract.

JL will not be responsible for the quality, safety, lawfulness or availability of the items or services offered under any online transaction. The Merchant agrees not to hold JL and its affiliates and agents liable for any losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising from any online transactions, including any breach, partial performance or non-performance of the online transaction by the other party to the transaction.

8. Pick-up

Please contact the staff of the company that is responsible for the pick-up service directly and select the method of package collection. Contacts of the company responsible for pick-up services in a particular region/country are provided separately in the Merchant Help Center. You can:

• Ship packages to the required company at your own expense; or
• Apply for a package pick-up service.

JL will carry all costs incurred during the package pick-up service.

9. Shipping Methods and Fees

JL supports three (3) shipping methods to Territory:

• Non-registered Mail (“NRM”);
• Simplified Registered Mail (“SRM”);
• Registered Mail (“RM”).

Details on each of the shipping methods which are supported by JL are available in the Merchant Help Center. When the shipment is done via JL, the shipping method will be automatically determined by Joom’s system based on item’s price. This means Merchants don’t have to manually choose shipping methods for JL.

Fees which You will be charged with for using of each of the shipping methods are calculated based on the weight of the item to be shipped and their price. Information on such fees and the method of their calculation can be found in the Merchant Help Center. JL reserves the right additionally to invoice difference between actual and declared weight, size of parcel or other shipping information that caused an increase in the cost of Services.

10. Shipping Weight

Items must have the attribute “shipping weight”. You must provide the exact shipping weight for the package while providing shipping information.

The difference between the shipping weight given by the Merchant and the factual shipping weight of the package shall not be more than those specified in the Merchant Help Center or as otherwise instructed by JL or Amazon . Inaccurate shipping weight may lead to additional logistics costs and extension in the delivery period, and in some cases, failure of delivery, and all this will have a negative impact on Merchant performance metrics. In addition to that, Amazon and JL reserve the right to withhold any losses and amounts of compensation from the amount payable to you under these Terms or the Terms of Service for Merchants.

11. Non-Delivery Compensation (NDC)

In case of non-delivery (within the term for delivery provided by or determined in accordance with the Amazon Terms and Conditions for users) or damage of the items shipped via JL logistics channel by RM method, you will be compensated for such non-delivery or damage as follows:

• The compensation will amount to either the declared value of the item determined in accordance with paragraph 6 of these Terms or to the amount payable to you for the item in accordance with the Terms of Service for Merchants applicable to you, whichever is lower. The amount of compensation for each non-delivered or damaged item shall in no case exceed the maximum compensation (“Maximum Compensation”), which is USD 2000 per order (as defined in the platform rules and the Amazon Help Center). The Maximum Compensation is determined by JL unilaterally and can be updated from time to time without prior notification. In case of any difference between the non-delivery compensation limits specified in these Terms and the limits specified in the Terms of Service for Merchants, platform rules and the Amazon Help Center, the limits specified in the platform rules and the Amazon Help Center shall prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, if the declared value and the amount payable to you are each higher than the Maximum Compensation, you will be entitled to the amount of the Maximum Compensation only.
• You are eligible for the NDC only if the case that is covered by the NDC (as specified in these Terms) and in which you are entitled to claim for the NDC occurred in Territories
• The compensation amounts will be set off against the amounts payable to you in accordance with the Terms of Service for Merchants.

The order is subject to compensation due to non-delivery if:

• The item is not delivered to the final recipient within the term for delivery as agreed with the user, and
• The item is refunded to the user in cases specified in the Terms and Conditions for users.

For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be entitled to the compensation referred to in this paragraph in any of the following cases:

• Late fulfilment (the item has been shipped later than prescribed by these Terms).
• The item has been returned or the return procedure has been initiated by the user in accordance with the applicable law, the applicable Terms and Conditions for users, or any other platform rules or policies applicable to the user.
• The item has been confiscated, destroyed, or returned by the customs authorities on the route.
• The compensation for the same item/order has already been received or arranged for You by third-party logistics or other related services providers.
• Any other breach of these Terms occurred (including, inter alia, improper packaging of the item that caused damage to the item or other items, breach of the requirements to the type of shipping (online or offline) or fulfillment requirements).

In no event shall JL be liable for any loss or damage caused by:

• Insufficient or inadequate packing, labelling which do not comply with these Terms.
• Fragile items injured or broken, unless packed by JL’s employees and unpacked by them at the time of delivery.
• You failing to notify JL of any special handling requirements for the items.
• Any act or omission of the client or the owner of the items, or the agents of either the Client or the owner of the items.
• Natural loss of bulk or weight, any hidden or latent defect or weakness, natural wear and tear, loss of value, or deterioration of perishable items.
• The nature of the item or any defects thereof; inherent vice of the item; perishable qualities of the item.
• Pilferage or theft, unless such loss or damage is caused by the failure of JL to exercise such ordinary care required by law.
• Concealed damage, or for losses incurred due to the concealed damage of the parcel, for any damage if the packaging is intact and undamaged.

The provisions of this paragraph shall apply without prejudice to any other provisions and rules applicable to you and can be changed, amended, or specified by JL unilaterally here or in the Amazon Help Center.

For the avoidance of doubt, JL cannot be held liable in case of any delay and/or damage in the performance of Services due to any measures of Force Majeure.
