Alipay is not obliged to provide the Alipay Services where the bank account designated by a Seller in an Online Transaction to receive the transaction price has not been verified and confirmed by Alipay and our affiliates. You agree that Alipay or its local affiliates shall have the sole and absolute discretion to send or transfer funds subject to the terms of this Agreement.

2.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Alipay may terminate or suspend the Alipay Services, in part or in whole, in its sole discretion and without notice, and shall not otherwise be responsible for any failure to perform or comply with such relevant obligations, where applicable law or regulation, or acts or omissions of a governmental or regulatory authority or agency prohibit or impede Alipay (or any of its affiliates or representatives) from performing its obligations under the Agreement, including orders of domestic or foreign courts or tribunals, governmental restrictions, sanctions, restrictions on foreign exchange controls, etc.

2.5 The Seller agrees and acknowledges that the bank account designated by a Seller in an Online Transaction to receive the transaction price should in ordinary circumstances be a bank account in the Seller’s name, opened and maintained by the Seller in the same jurisdiction where the Seller isregistered to conduct business. The Seller represents and warrants to Alipay, on each day on which settlement is made to the Seller, that: (a) the settlement to the bank account designated by the Seller has been duly authorised by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller (if any), (b) the Seller has obtained all regulatory approvals and completed all filings required for settlement by Alipay to such bank account, (c) the remittance to such bank account is in compliance with all applicable law, in particular but not limited to, the applicable currency control, export control, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism and tax related laws and regulations and does not constitute or form part of conduct relating to tax evasion giving rise to an offence under applicable law and the Seller warrants to inform Alipay immediately should this no longer be the case, (d) neither the Seller nor any of its officers, employees or other persons associated with it, has been convicted of any offence involving tax evasion or the facilitation of tax evasion, (e) the Seller has not been and is not the subject of any investigation, inquiry or enforcement proceedings by any governmental, administrative or regulatory body regarding any offence or alleged offence concerning tax evasion or the facilitation of tax evasion; (f) the owner of the designated bank account has any and all requisite regulatory or similar licences, if legally required, to accept the settlement amount on the Seller’s behalf and the Seller warrants to inform Alipay immediately should this no longer be the case.

3. Alipay Services for Online Transactions

3.1 The Buyer in an Online Transaction shall pay the full transaction price listed for the Online Transaction to the Seller through the Alipay website unless another option is made available directly by the Platform Operator on the relevant Platform Site. When using Alipay to submit payment for an Online Transaction, payments are processed through accounts owned by Alipay or one of its affiliates and/or an authorised third party service provider acting on Alipay’s behalf and the relevant funds are received for the Seller in accordance with the applicable Transaction Services Agreement. The Seller hereby appoints Alipay as its agent for the limited purpose of receiving payments from Buyers. The Seller agrees that the Buyer’s full payment of the transaction price listed for the Online Transaction to Alipay constitutes final payment to the Seller extinguishing Buyer’s payment obligation to Seller as if the Buyer had paid the Seller directly, even if the payment is not received by Seller from Alipay. Alipay, and not the Buyer, is solely liable to the Seller for payment if Alipay fails to remit payments received from Buyer to the Seller. The payment must be made in US Dollars or any other currencies as supported by Alipay at the time of the Online Transaction. Buyers will receive a receipt upon payment that will indicate that payment has been made on the applicable date. Alipay may be named on the receipt but has no responsibility or liability in respect of any of the goods or services purchased and sold by Users through the Platform Sites. Without limiting Seller's agency appointment of Alipay as provided herein, for Buyers located in the United States or Buyers making payments via U.S. credit cards, debit cards or bank accounts, Alipay US is appointed as agent of Seller to receive Purchase Payments authorized by such Buyers. Alipay US may coordinate with or utilize its affiliates from time to time to collect Purchase Payments for certain transactions.

3.2 Upon receipt of the Buyer’s payment, Alipay shall promptly notify the relevant Platform Site of the details of the payment.

3.3 Alipay shall retain the funds received in connection with an Online Transaction as instructed by the Platform Operators until, as agreed between the Seller and the relevant Platform Operator, the first of any of the following events occurs:

(a) the Buyer’s confirmation of a successful completion of the Online Transaction, in which case all the funds will be transferred to the Seller;

(b) the Buyer’s failure to confirm receipt of the goods or services within the time limit prescribed by the Seller and as agreed by the relevant Platform Operator, in which case all the funds will be transferred to Seller;

(c) cancellation of the Online Transaction, in which case all the funds will be refunded to Buyer;

(d) the conclusion of any settlement agreement between the Buyer and the Seller, in which case the funds will be disposed in accordance with such settlement agreement;

(e) a dispute in relation to the services provided by the Platform Operator has been submitted to a Platform Site for a Platform Operator’s determination and the Platform Operator’s determination has become final and binding according to the applicable Transaction Services Agreement, in which case the funds will be disposed in accordance with the Platform Operator’s determination; and

(f) the Platform Operators or Alipay or our affiliates receives any order, ruling, award or judgment from a competent court, arbitration tribunal or authority which directs us to release the funds, in which case the funds will be disposed in accordance with such order, ruling, award or judgment.

If you are a Buyer, you acknowledge and agree that Alipay is not holding any funds on your behalf, or in any escrow or trust relationship with you.

If you are a Seller, you acknowledge and agree that you have requested that the settlement of funds to you be delayed as provided in this clause 3.3. Nothing in this clause 3.3 shall affect the fact that the Buyer's payment obligation for the Online Transaction is fully satisfied upon receipt of funds by Alipay as set forth in clause 3.1.

3.4 When releasing any funds to a User, Alipay shall have the right to deduct or withhold any financial charges or service fees due and payable to Alipay and/or its affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or separate agreement between the Seller and Alipay and/or its affiliates (as the case may be), and/or the relevant Platform Operator (if any) in such amounts as instructed by the relevant Platform Operator pursuant to the agreement between the Seller and the relevant Platform Operator, or the relevant Transaction Services Agreement (as the case may be).

3.5 Subject to any applicable law, any unclaimed funds will be held by Alipay for a period of five (5) years or as otherwise instructed by the relevant Platform Operator, at the expiry of which time, You the Seller will be deemed to have waived any claim in respect of such funds or, if required by applicable laws, we will transfer the funds (less any fees, if any and to the extent permitted under applicable laws) to the relevant competent authority. You hereby agree that upon expiry of such period or upon such transfer of such funds to the relevant competent authority, Alipay will be relieved of any further obligation to pay those unclaimed funds to You.

3.6 You acknowledge and agree that Alipay may receive interest on any funds held by it in performing the Alipay Services. Any such interest is for the account of Alipay, and you will not receive interest or other profits in relation to the Alipay Services.

3.7 In the event a Buyer selects to make payment by a debit or credit card in connection with an Online Transaction, the Buyer hereby authorizes Alipay or its affiliates to charge that card to obtain the necessary funds.

3.8 At checkout, a Buyer will have the option to store his debit or credit card details in his account with a Platform Operator. In the event the Buyer selects such option, the information will be stored by Alipay or its affiliates on behalf of the Platform Operators. The Buyer hereby authorizes Alipay or its affiliates to collect and store his debit or credit card information.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foreign currency exchange rate to be applied to the Impacted Currency as determined by Alipay shall apply to the calculation of the payment amount owed to the Seller arising from the Online Transaction.

Generally, any relevant money received by Alipay on account of its clients that is deposited in the Trust Account(s) will be commingled with relevant money received on account of other clients. As such, you acknowledge, agree and accept that it is not possible to identify any portion of the relevant money in the Trust Account(s) as specifically belonging to you and money in the Trust Account(s) could be withdrawn to meet the obligations of other clients. If the safeguarding institution with which the Trust Account(s) is/are maintained becomes insolvent, you may be delayed or prevented from recovering your full entitlement to the relevant money. 

7.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the relevant money received relates to services provided by Alipay to you that fall within the scope of Regulation 32 of the Payment Services Regulations 2019 of Singapore, such funds may not be safeguarded.

8.1 To the full extent permitted by applicable law Alipay shall only be liable for the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement.

8.2 You agree that all disputes from the Online Transaction shall be a matter solely between you and your counterparty.

Alipay does not guarantee the identity of any User or ensure that a Buyer or a Seller will complete a transaction on the Platform Sites.

8.10 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the foregoing exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.

8.11 If you have a dispute with any other party, you release the Alipay Indemnified Persons from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you agree to waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, in part: “A general release does not extend to claims which a creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

SCHEDULE 1

Additional Terms and Conditions for the AliExpress Site

This Schedule shall apply only to Users of the AliExpress Site

1. Buyer protection plan

You acknowledge that the AliExpress Site may also provide buyer protection plan for certain Online Transactions.

(a) If you are a Seller who has subscribed to the buyer protection plan: Upon entering into a separate agreement with Alipay, you may be required to provide deposits using the methods as designated by the Platform Operator on the AliExpress Site, respectively, to secure your due performance of obligations under the relevant buyer protection plan. You agree to permit and hereby authorize Alipay to act on the instructions of the Platform Operator to deduct, withhold and dispose any deposits provided in accordance with the terms under the relevant buyer protection plan.

(b) If you are a Buyer: You acknowledge and agree that the protection afforded to you under a buyer protection plan applies to those Online Transactions where the Seller has subscribed to such plan and the purchase falls within your protection plan’s scope. Clause 3.3 of the Agreement will not be applicable to you if the Seller has subscribed to the buyer protection plan and such plan covers your purchase.

2.The following provision shall replace clause 3.1 in the main agreement in its entirety:

3.1 The Buyer in an Online Transaction shall pay the full transaction price listed for the Online Transaction to the Seller through the Alipay website unless another option is made available directly by the Platform Operator on the relevant Platform Site. When using Alipay to submit payment for an Online Transaction, payments are processed through bank accounts owned by Alipay or one of its affiliates and/or an authorised third party service provider acting on Alipay’s behalf and the relevant funds are received for the Seller in accordance with the applicable Transaction Services Agreement. The Seller hereby appoints Alipay as its agent for the limited purpose of receiving payments from Buyers. The Seller agrees that the Buyer’s full payment of the transaction price listed for the Online Transaction (“Purchase Payment”) to Alipay constitutes final payment to the Seller extinguishing Buyer’s payment obligation to Seller as if the Buyer had paid the Seller directly, even if the payment is not received by Seller from Alipay. The Purchase Payment must be made in US Dollars or any other currencies as supported by Alipay at the time of the transaction. Buyers will receive a receipt upon payment that will indicate that payment has been made on the applicable date. Alipay may be named on the receipt but has no responsibility or liability in respect of any of the goods or services purchased and sold by Users through the Platform Sites. Without limiting Seller's agency appointment of Alipay as provided herein, for Buyers located in the United States or Buyers making payments via U.S. credit cards, debit cards or bank accounts, Alipay US is appointed as agent of Seller to receive Purchase Payments authorized by such Buyers. Alipay US may coordinate with or utilize its affiliates from time to time to collect Purchase Payments for certain transactions.

(a) Special sale terms for Buyers not located in the United States:

From time to time, Platform Operator on the relevant Platform Site may permit a special promotion allowing Buyers to make a partial payment to secure a product and sale price (“Partial Payment”) on a special sale date (the “Sale Date”). By participating in this special promotion, the Seller agrees to sell Buyer the product on the Sale Date at the agreed upon sale price in consideration for receiving the Partial Payment from Buyer and Buyer's commitment to pay the balance of the sale price (“Balance”) on the Sale Date. Buyer's subsequent payment of the Balance to Alipay constitutes final payment of the Balance to Seller extinguishing Buyer's payment obligation to Seller for the Purchase Payment at the agreed upon sale price. Failure to pay the Balance on the Sale Date will release the Seller of its obligation to sell Buyer the product at the agreed upon sale price. In such case, the Buyer would be deemed to have canceled the Online Transaction and the Partial Payment would be refunded to Buyer.

(b) Special sale terms for Buyers located in the United States:

From time to time, Platform Operator on the relevant Platform Site may permit a special promotion allowing Buyers to pay a deposit to secure a product and sale price (“Deposit”) on a Sale Date. By participating in this special promotion, the Seller agrees to sell Buyer the product on the Sale Date at the agreed upon sale price in consideration for receiving the Deposit from Buyer and Buyer's commitment to pay the Balance on the Sale Date. In these cases, Seller agrees that Buyer's full payment of the Deposit to Alipay constitutes final payment of the Deposit to Seller extinguishing Buyer's payment obligation to Seller for the Deposit as if the Buyer had paid the Seller directly, even if the payment is not received by Seller from Alipay. Seller also agrees that Buyer's full payment of the Balance to Alipay constitutes final payment of the Balance to Seller extinguishing Buyer's payment obligation to Seller for the Balance as if the Buyer had paid the Seller directly, even if payment is not received by Seller from Alipay. Failure to pay the Balance on the Sale Date will release the Seller of its obligation to sell Buyer the product at the agreed upon sale price. In such case, the Buyer would be deemed to have canceled the Online Transaction and the Deposit would be refunded to Buyer.

(c) Market Disruption Event

The Seller acknowledges that Buyers may make payment in a currency that is different from the currency of the payment amount owed to the Seller.

The Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a Market Disruption Event, any foreign currency exchange rate applicable to any affected Online Transactions involving an Impacted Currency, and/or method for determining such foreign currency exchange rate involving the Impacted Currency, will be determined by Alipay in its sole and absolute discretion at the time of actual settlement by Alipay of the payment amount owed to the Seller arising from the Online Transaction.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foreign currency exchange rate to be applied to the Impacted Currency as determined by Alipay shall apply to the calculation of the payment amount owed to the Seller arising from the Online Transaction.

For the purposes of this clause 3.1(c):

“Market Disruption Event” means any action, event, or circumstance whatsoever which, as determined by Alipay in its sole and absolute discretion:

(i) has the direct or indirect effect of causing any currency to not be available in the foreign exchange market in accordance with normal commercial practice; and/or

(ii) results in an unusual price volatility of any currency in the foreign exchange markets.

“Impacted Currency” means a currency referred to in (i) and/or (ii) of the definition of “Market Disruption Event”.

3.The following provision shall be added to the end of clause 3.3 in the main agreement:

Seller acknowledges and agrees that settlement of funds by Alipay shall be made to Sellers' account for Online Transaction payments maintained by Alipay Merchant Services Pte. Ltd (“Alipay MS”) in accordance with applicable local law (“Seller Account”). Alipay's obligation to remit Purchase Payments is extinguished once funds are credited to the Seller Account. Once funds are credited to the Seller Account, Alipay MS is responsible for Sellers' funds, and such funds shall be made available to Seller as agreed between the Seller and Alipay MS.

4. Certain terms in relation to Klarna Payment Methods 

The terms in this clause 4 of Schedule 1 apply solely to Sellers in relation to Online Transactions where a payment method provided by Klarna Bank AB (publ) or its affiliate (“Klarna Payment Method”) was used to make payment. In the event of any conflict between the terms in this clause 4 of Schedule 1 and the other terms in this Agreement (insofar as such terms relate to Sellers in respect of such Online Transactions), the terms of this clause shall prevail.

(a) Claims

Where a Buyer makes a purchase of goods or services from the Seller and selects a Klarna Payment Method to pay for the purchase (the “Claim”), Klarna has the sole right to receive payment from the Buyer in relation to that purchase.

The exclusive right to receive payment from the Buyer in relation to a Claim is assigned by Alipay to Klarna. Klarna settles the value of the Claim to Alipay, net of amounts Klarna is authorised to retain under its agreement with Alipay.

Alipay is authorised to make the Klarna Payment Methods available, and settle payment for the Claims, to the Seller. In relation to Claims, only Alipay therefore has a contractual relationship with Klarna; whereas Seller only has a contractual relationship with Alipay.

In the case of Online Transaction approval, the Claim arising out of the purchase vests solely in Klarna and payment to the Seller will be made via settlement by Klarna to Alipay, and by Alipay to the Seller in accordance with the respective terms agreed between such parties. Klarna will manage the collection of each Claim assigned to it.

As between Klarna and the Seller, Klarna will control, in its sole discretion, all decisions concerning credit application approval and underwriting of any Klarna Payment Method, including decisions on applicable credit limits for Buyers.

(b) Claim returns

Klarna has the right to require Alipay to repay Claims in the following circumstances. In these circumstances, Alipay is required to repay any amounts paid for the Claim to Klarna, and the Seller, in turn, is required to repay Alipay. Accordingly, Seller acknowledges and agrees that any dispute submitted to the AliExpress Site for the Platform Operator’s determination may not be determined in the Seller’s favor under the following circumstances.
(i) If there is a dispute or contestation between the Seller and the Buyer regarding the Claim, or the Buyer’s obligation to settle the Claim, and such dispute or contestation is not based on a mere unwillingness or inability to pay (a dispute may be, for example, when the goods or services are alleged to be faulty or not delivered in full).
(ii) Claims in which a Buyer acquires cash (e.g., currency exchange), checks or money orders.
(iii) Claims where the Seller in connection with the placement of the order has not provided the Platform Operator with (and thus Klarna has not received) the complete list of goods/products bought by the relevant Buyer.
(iv) Claims where the Seller has deviated from the shipping terms set forth in clause 3(c) of this Schedule 1 below. This merely applies where the Buyer insists not having made the order or insists not having received the goods, or if it is otherwise unclear who has received the goods/services.
(v) Claims where the Buyer has used its lawful right to withdraw from/cancel its purchase or where the Seller has extended to the Buyer a right to return the goods or services in excess of what is stipulated in applicable mandatory laws.
(vi) Claims in relation to which the Seller is imposing payment terms and conditions on Buyers specifically related to Klarna Payment Methods which conflict with the payment terms and conditions provided by Klarna to its users (e.g., if the Klarna Payment Methods has a due date of 14 days, but the Seller promotes said payment method with a 90 day due date).
(vii) If there are obstacles restricting the pledge or transfer of the Claim (e.g., if a Claim is already pledged or transferred to a third party).

(c) Shipping-related requirements

Seller agrees that if it fails to comply with the following shipping-related requirements in respect of an Online Transaction, then any dispute arising between the Seller and the Buyer may not be resolved by Platform Operator in favor of the Seller:

(i) Seller must provide to the Platform Operator the Buyer’s name, tracking number, shipping carrier’s name, shipping address (including street details, city, country and region and postal code, as applicable), name of goods and product category, upon request within the time specified by the Platform Operator. Seller shall store such shipping information for at least six months from the date of the Online Transaction.

(ii) Seller must ship the goods to the Buyer’s shipping address approved as part of authorization of the Online Transaction. The tracking ID must be capable of tracking online, with the website of the logistics carrier or logistics carrier aggregator showing (at a minimum) “delivered” status and date and time of delivery.

(iii) Seller must send a delivery notification to the Buyer via in-app notification or via e-mail or text message to the contact set forth in the order confirmation.

(d) Klarna ethical instructions

Klarna or Alipay may at its sole discretion cease making Klarna Payment Methods available with respect to the Seller if the Seller offers goods or services that conflict with Klarna’s then applicable Ethical Instructions (current version available via the following link: https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/policy/ethic/en_gb/merchant.pdf).

5. Certain terms in relation to PAD and Installments (factoring model)

The terms in this clause 5 of Schedule 1 apply solely to Sellers in relation to Online Transactions where Pay after Delivery service on the AliExpress Site (“PAD” or “PAD Service”) or installment payments on the AliExpress Site, in each case utilizing a factoring model (as opposed to a credit model where credit is extended by the relevant payment method) (“Factoring Payment Method”) was utilized by the Buyer. In the event of any conflict between the terms in this clause 5 of Schedule 1 and the other terms in this Agreement (insofar as such terms relate to Sellers in respect of such Online Transactions), the terms of this clause shall prevail.

(a) Seller Pay After Delivery Agreement

(b) Seller InstallmentAgreement

Where a Buyer makes a purchase of goods or services from the Seller and selects “Pay in Instalments” and a Factoring Payment Method to pay for the purchase, the Seller authorizes Alipay, AliExpress and/or their respective affiliates to present the consumer terms of service substantially in the form set out below (“Seller InstallmentAgreement”) to the Buyer on behalf of the Seller at the time of purchase, such that acceptance of the Seller Installment Agreement by the Buyer constitutes an agreement between Seller and Buyer on the terms of the Seller Installment Agreement:

Consumer Terms of Service

We are a retailer on www.aliexpress.com (the “AliExpress Platform”) of goods or services that you are seeking to purchase ("us", “our” or "we" or “Merchant”). These Consumer Terms of Service (this Agreement”) is between us and you, the cardholder who is making the purchase from us on the AliExpress Platform ("Buyer"). 

By choosing to make this purchase using instalments, you agree to be bound by thisAgreement. These terms for payment by instalment apply when you select the option of paying for your purchase by instalments, using a payment card issued by a credit card issuer (“Issuer”). In order to process card payments by instalment, we are using a third party technology service provided by Splitit UK Ltd (“Splitit” or “Service Provider”). You have not entered into any agreement with Splitit, the AliExpress Platform, Alibaba.com Singapore E-Commerce Private Limited (“AliExpress”), Alipay Singapore E-Commerce Private Limited (“Alipay SG”), Alipay (UK) Limited (“Alipay UK”, Alipay SG, Alipay UK and their affiliates collectively, “Alipay”) or any of their affiliates in connection with the arrangement under this Agreement.

How it Works. By selecting the "Pay in Instalments" payment option at the checkout page, you authorize us (or our assignee) to put a hold on your payment card for the Total Sale Price (as defined below under Authorisations), however we (or our assignee) will only charge the eligible card provided to us over time in the number of payments and in the amounts that you selected at checkout (we call these payments "Instalments"). The date and amount of each Instalment is shown at checkout before you complete your purchase and a complete record is emailed to you immediately after you complete your purchase.  We (or our assignee) will charge the initial payment (the first Instalment) to your card when your order is completed (or later, if shipment is later, in accordance with the payment schedule).  Each subsequent Instalment is charged monthly, on the dates shown in the payment schedule presented to you at checkout, until the entire amount due under this Agreement is paid. As further described under the Authorisationssection, your card is eligible if there is available credit (or balance, in the case of a debit card) to support an authorisation for the Total Sale Price and you are authorized to use the payment card to make the transaction. If we are not (or our assignee is not) able to renew an authorisation for the amount you owe by your next Instalment due date we (or our assignee) may charge your card for the Total Sale Price, less the amount of any Instalments you have already paid.

Payment Obligation: you agree to pay us (or any person to whom we assign or transfer our right to the payment) the full transaction price for your purchase from us (“Purchase Amount”) via the AliExpress Platform on the payment terms set out above. This payment obligation is separate from, and independent of, any otherobligations between you and us relating to the purchase.

Fulfilling the Payment Obligation: We agree that full payment of the Purchase Amount to Alipay (or other assignee) under the Transaction Services Agreement should be treated as full and final payment of the Purchase Amount to us; and your payment obligation for your purchase on the AliExpress Platform is fully satisfied upon receipt of funds to Alipay’s (or other assignees’) account. Under no circumstances will you be required to make payment of the full transaction price more than once in respect of any single Online Transaction.

None of us, Splitit, AliExpress and AliExpress Platform, Alipay or our respective affiliates impose any interest or additional charges on you for selecting this payment option. However, we are required by law to warn you that you may have to pay other taxes or costs that are not imposed by us (such as internet charges, fees and interest imposed by the Issuer or charges imposed by customs in your country). IN PARTICULAR, PLEASE NOTE, AS INSTALMENT PAYMENTS ARE BEING CHARGED TO YOUR CARD, YOU MAY BE CHARGED INTEREST AND FEES OR OTHER CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR CARD ISSUER UNDER THEIR AGREEMENT WITH YOU. THIS COULD INCLUDE LATE PAYMENT FEES, OVERDRAFT FEES, PERIODIC INTEREST, OR OVER-THE-LIMIT FEES. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE FEES.

Authorisations.If you provide a credit card to make payments, we (or our assignee) may obtain an authorisation against your credit card for up to the total amount of your purchase (“Total Sale Price”). An “authorisation” means that the available credit on your credit card will be reduced by an amount, up to the Total Sale Price, in order to ensure you have sufficient available credit to make future payments. You will likely not be able to use that amount of your credit line while theauthorisation remains in place, subject to rules imposed by your Issuer.  Even if your Issuer does not restrict the available credit, you must ensure that you have enough available credit to cover the full outstanding amount owed under this Agreement for your purchase at all times.

To ensure we (or our assignee) retain a valid authorisation against your credit card, we (or our assignee) will renew the authorisation periodically using the credit card details provided at the time of purchase (or a subsequent credit card you provide). The amount of each authorisation will be reduced by Instalments already paid. It may take up to 5 days for the amount of the authorisation to be reduced after you make a payment. You will receive an email notification sent by Splitit approximately 24 hours before the authorisation is renewed.   

If any authorisation we (or our assignee) seek to make against your credit card fails, you will be contacted by email (using the email address you provided at checkout) to let you know. We (or our assignee) may also contact you via SMS to the extent you have authorized us to do so.  We (or our assignee) will also keep attempting to get approval for the authorisation by submitting a request to your payment card periodically for up to 7 days.  You can provide us (or our assignee) with a different eligible credit card to use for authorisations and Instalmentsvia the consumer portal developed and maintained by Splitit, using the unique link emailed to you by Splitit when you enter into this Agreement ("Portal").  By providinga new credit card, you authorize us (or our assignee) to obtain authorisations for the remaining amounts owed under this Agreement, as set forth in this Agreement, and you further authorize us (or our assignee) to charge this updated credit card foroutstandingInstalments owed, when due under this Agreement. You also authorize us (or our assignee) to charge or refund your credit card as necessary to correct any errors. If we are not (or our assignee is not) able to renew an authorisation for the amount you owe under this Agreement by your next Instalment due date, and you do not make an Instalment payment by the due date (subject to any applicable grace period) or successfully authorize those amounts on another eligible card, we may charge your credit card for the Total Sale Price, less the amount of any Instalments you have already paid.

BY COMPLETING THIS PURCHASE, YOU PERMIT US (AND OUR ASSIGNEES) TO TAKE AUTHORISATIONS (IF APPLICABLE) AND PAYMENT IN INSTALMENTS IN THE WAY DESCRIBED ABOVE.

Handling Card Payments and Notifications. AliExpress and AliExpress Platform use a third-party technology platform provided by Splitit to keep a record of payments you owe us and AliExpress uses their platform to process authorisations and payments at the times we have agreed and to send notifications to you. You may see some of the emails say they are “powered by Splitit”. This should help you identify what payments we are (or our assignee is) contacting you about. You never enter into an agreement with Splitit. 

Returns and Cancellations. You may return the goods to us as set forth in AliExpress’ Return Policy. This Agreement may not be cancelled if you only tell us verbally. If you give us notice that you want to cancel this Agreement, it will be terminated and all outstanding Instalments will become immediately due. You may need to provide additional information in connection with any notice of termination or cancellation in order for us to properly identify the Agreement that is being terminated.

Default. Subject to applicable law, which may require that we (or our assignee) notify and/or give you a right to cure your default, we (or our assignee) may declare you in default under this Agreement for any of the following reasons: (1) you fail to pay any Instalment by the due date, and after any applicable grace period; (2) you violate any promise you make to us in this Agreement which significantly impairs your ability to pay or our ability to collect the amounts due under this Agreement; (3) you file for bankruptcy, or become subject to a proceeding which seeks relief from debt; (4) you have made a false or misleading statement about an important matter in connection with this Agreement; (5) you revoke your consent to electronic communications; or (6) you die or become legally incompetent. 

Consequences of Default. If you are in default of this Agreement, we (or our assignee) can require you to pay the remaining amount you owe us under this Agreement immediately, subject to any right you may have to notice of default and to cure such default.  We may seek payment of this amount by charging your credit card pursuant to any authorization you provided us under this Agreement.

Assignment. You are hereby notified and agree that we may transfer, sell, or assign this Agreement, the Instalments, or any associated rights, to a third party, including Splitit, Alipay or one of their respective affiliates, and such assignee may in turn further transfer, sell, or assign this Agreement, the Instalments, or any associated rights, without any further notification to you. If we (and if our assignee) do so, this Agreement will remain in effect and will be binding on and will inure to the benefit of our assign(s). You may not transfer your rights under this Agreement and any attempt to do so will be void.

SCHEDULE 9 

Additional Terms and Conditions for the Allylikes Site

This Schedule shall apply only to Users of the Allylikes Site.

1. Buyer protection plan

You acknowledge that the Allylikes Site may also provide buyer protection plan for certain Online Transactions.

(a) If you are a Seller who has subscribed to the buyer protection plan: Upon entering into a separate agreement with Alipay, you may be required to provide deposits using the methods as designated by the Platform Operator on the Allylikes Site, respectively, to secure your due performance of obligations under the relevant buyer protection plan. You agree to permit and hereby authorize Alipay to act on the instructions of the Platform Operator to deduct, withhold and dispose any deposits provided in accordance with the terms under the relevant buyer protection plan.

(b) If you are a Buyer: You acknowledge and agree that the protection afforded to you under a buyer protection plan applies to those Online Transactions where the Seller has subscribed to such plan and the purchase falls within your protection plan’s scope. Clause 3.3 of the Agreement will not be applicable to you if the Seller has subscribed to the buyer protection plan and such plan covers your purchase.

2. The following provision shall replace clause 3.1 in the main agreement in its entirety:

3.1 The Buyer in an Online Transaction shall pay the full transaction price listed for the Online Transaction to the Seller through the Alipay website unless another option is made available directly by the Platform Operator on the relevant Platform Site. When using Alipay to submit payment for an Online Transaction, payments are processed through bank accounts owned by Alipay or one of its affiliates and/or a registered third party service provider acting on Alipay’s behalf and the relevant funds are received for the Seller in accordance with the applicable Transaction Services Agreement. The Seller hereby appoints Alipay as its agent for the limited purpose of receiving payments from Buyers. The Seller agrees that the Buyer’s full payment of the transaction price listed for the Online Transaction (“Purchase Payment”) to Alipay constitutes final payment to the Seller extinguishing Buyer’s payment obligation to Seller as if the Buyer had paid the Seller directly, even if the payment is not received by Seller from Alipay. The Purchase Payment must be made in US Dollars or any other currencies as supported by Alipay at the time of the transaction. Buyers will receive a receipt upon payment that will indicate that payment has been made on the applicable date. Without limiting Seller's agency appointment of Alipay as provided herein, for Buyers located in the United States or Buyers making payments via U.S. credit cards, debit cards or bank accounts, Alipay US is appointed as agent of Seller to receive Purchase Payments authorized by such Buyers. Alipay US may coordinate with or utilize its affiliates from time to time to collect Purchase Payments for certain transactions.

(a) Special sale terms for Buyers not located in the United States:

From time to time, Platform Operator on the relevant Platform Site may permit a special promotion allowing Buyers to make a partial payment to secure a product and sale price (“Partial Payment”) on a special sale date (the “Sale Date”). By participating in this special promotion, the Seller agrees to sell Buyer the product on the Sale Date at the agreed upon sale price in consideration for receiving the Partial Payment from Buyer and Buyer's commitment to pay the balance of the sale price (“Balance”) on the Sale Date. Buyer's subsequent payment of the Balance to Alipay constitutes final payment of the Balance to Seller extinguishing Buyer's payment obligation to Seller for the Purchase Payment at the agreed upon sale price. Failure to pay the Balance on the Sale Date will release the Seller of its obligation to sell Buyer the product at the agreed upon sale price. In such case, the Buyer would be deemed to have canceled the Online Transaction and the Partial Payment would be refunded to Buyer.

(b) Special sale terms for Buyers located in the United States:

From time to time, Platform Operator on the relevant Platform Site may permit a special promotion allowing Buyers to pay a deposit to secure a product and sale price (“Deposit”) on a Sale Date. By participating in this special promotion, the Seller agrees to sell Buyer the product on the Sale Date at the agreed upon sale price in consideration for receiving the Deposit from Buyer and Buyer's commitment to pay the Balance on the Sale Date. In these cases, Seller agrees that Buyer's full payment of the Deposit to Alipay constitutes final payment of the Deposit to Seller extinguishing Buyer's payment obligation to Seller for the Deposit as if the Buyer had paid the Seller directly, even if the payment is not received by Seller from Alipay. Seller also agrees that Buyer's full payment of the Balance to Alipay constitutes final payment of the Balance to Seller extinguishing Buyer's payment obligation to Seller for the Balance as if the Buyer had paid the Seller directly, even if payment is not received by Seller from Alipay. Failure to pay the Balance on the Sale Date will release the Seller of its obligation to sell Buyer the product at the agreed upon sale price. In such case, the Buyer would be deemed to have canceled the Online Transaction and the Deposit would be refunded to Buyer.

(c) Market Disruption Event

The Seller acknowledges that Buyers may make payment in a currency that is different from the currency of the payment amount owed to the Seller.

The Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a Market Disruption Event, any foreign currency exchange rate applicable to any affected Online Transactions involving an Impacted Currency, and/or method for determining such foreign currency exchange rate involving the Impacted Currency, will be determined by Alipay in its sole and absolute discretion at the time of actual settlement by Alipay of the payment amount owed to the Seller arising from the Online Transaction.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foreign currency exchange rate to be applied to the Impacted Currency as determined by Alipay shall apply to the calculation of the payment amount owed to the Seller arising from the Online Transaction.

For the purposes of this clause 3.1(c):

“Market Disruption Event” means any action, event, or circumstance whatsoever which, as determined by Alipay in its sole and absolute discretion:

(i) has the direct or indirect effect of causing any currency to not be available in the foreign exchange market in accordance with normal commercial practice; and/or

(ii) results in an unusual price volatility of any currency in the foreign exchange markets.

“Impacted Currency” means a currency referred to in (i) and/or (ii) of the definition of “Market Disruption Event”.

3. The following provision shall be added to the end of clause 3.3 in the main agreement:

Seller acknowledges and agrees that settlement of funds by Alipay shall be made to Seller's account for Online Transaction payments maintained by Alipay Merchant Services Pte. Ltd (“Alipay MS”) in accordance with applicable local law (“Seller Account”). Alipay's obligation to remit Purchase Payments is extinguished once funds are credited to the Seller Account. Once funds are credited to the Seller Account, Alipay MS is responsible for Sellers' funds, and such funds shall be made available to Seller as agreed between the Seller and Alipay MS.
