4. 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://api-v3-docs.merchant.joom.com/orders/fulfill-online)
• Get a printable label (https://api-v3-docs.merchant.joom.com/orders/shipping-label)

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

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

Joom Logistics Limited will carry all costs incurred during the package pick-up service.

6. Shipping Methods and Associated 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 an 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.

7. 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 Joom. 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, Joom 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.

8. Non-Delivery Insurance (NDI)

In case of non-delivery (within the term for delivery provided by or determined in accordance with the Joom Terms and Conditions for users) or damage of the items shipped via Joom Logistics by RM method, the Merchant 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 Section 3 of these Terms or to the amount payable to the Merchant for the item in accordance with these Terms, 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 50 per order, for the smartphone category (as defined in the platform rules and the Joom Help Center) – USD 120 per order. The Maximum Compensation is determined by Joom and JL unilaterally and can be updated from time to time without prior notification to the Merchant. In case of any difference between the non-delivery insurance limits specified in these Terms and the limits specified in the platform rules and the Joom Help Center, the limits specified in the platform rules and the Joom Help Center shall prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, if the declared value and the amount payable to the Merchant are each higher than the Maximum Compensation, the Merchant will be entitled to the amount of the Maximum Compensation only.
• The compensation amounts will be set off against the amounts payable to the Merchant in accordance with the Terms of Service for Merchants (in particular, cl. 6.10 of 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 by Joom in accordance with the Joom Terms and Conditions for users.

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

• Late fulfilment (the item has been shipped later than prescribed by these Terms or the Terms of Service for Merchants).
• The item has been returned or the return procedure has been initiated by the user in accordance with the applicable law, the Joom 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.
• Any other breach of these Terms or the Terms of Service for Merchants 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).

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