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 JLK general policy that items imported from or originating in the following countries and regions may not be sold on Joom:

• 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 JLK from time to time

Accounts may not be opened or affiliated with a country or region that JLK 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 JLK, 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 JLK, a Merchant or to any buyer, sender or recipient and must indemnify JLK against any claim resulting from any breach by you of any sanctions law or and breach by you of this paragraph 5.

6. Declared value

You hereby undertake to correctly determine declared (customs) value for the items shipped via JLK. 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 JLK harmless from any losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) and liabilities which Joom, JLK 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). JLK 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

JLK 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.joom.com/docs/api/v3/operations/orders-fulfillOnline)
• Get a printable label (https://merchant.joom.com/docs/api/v3/operations/orders-shippingLabel)

Online shipping is essential for JLK 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.

JLK 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 JLK’s reasonable opinion has insufficient information to constitute a binding contract.

JLK 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 JLK 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.

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

9. Shipping Methods and Fees

JLK 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 JLK are available in the Merchant Help Center. When the shipment is done via JLK, 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 JLK.

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. JLK 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 JLK 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 JLK 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 Joom Terms and Conditions for users) or damage of the items shipped via JLK 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 Joom Help Center). The Maximum Compensation is determined by JLK 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 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 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 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:

In no event shall JLK 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 JLK’s employees and unpacked by them at the time of delivery.
