For orders of Buyers located in Russia, the cost of the Services of LAliExpress CIS for the Seller shall be calculated in Russian rubles as a percentage of the cost of each order of the Buyer determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In this case, the cost of LAliExpress CIS Services for the reporting month shall be calculated by summing up the cost of the Services in respect of each order of the Buyer made during the reporting month.

For orders of Buyers located in other Territories (apart from Russia), the calculation of the cost of Services of LAliExpress CIS for the Seller shall be stated in the new version of this Agreement after the sale of goods on such other Territories is available on the Platform.

The Seller revenue under this Agreement shall be paid to the Seller in Russian rubles or in the currency of the Territory, from which the purchase price was collected. If Seller wishes to receive the Seller revenue in other currency, The currency conversion of the amounts for the calculation of the Seller revenue shall be made under the currency exchange rate of the original currency (only Russian rubles or other currency of a country in the Territory) applied by the payment services providers of LAliExpress CIS against the US dollar/EUR (or other currency agreed by the Parties). LAliExpress CIS may engage any third parties for collection and payment of the Seller revenue, including, but not limited to, LAliExpress CIS Affiliates for the respective territory of the Buyer and any payment services providers.

In the case of applying a discount at the expense of LAliExpress CIS, including a promo code and/or coupon, the commission of the Platform on the Buyer's order shall be deducted from the full value of the Buyer's order, i.e. the sum of the part of the order value paid by the Buyer and the part of the order value equal to the discount under the promo code and/or coupon provided at the expense of LAliExpress CIS.

Refunds to the Buyers under the terms of this Agreement shall not constitute grounds for revising (reducing) the amount of the Services cost to be charged and paid by LAliExpress CIS.

However, the commission (%) of the proceeds received in favour of the Seller from the Buyers through the Marketplace from the Seller`s logistics services under Agreement clause 5.2 (unless they are free of charge or included into the goods price) is fixed and is equal to 5% (five percent) from revenue for such logistics services.

Commission (%) for the services for promotion of the Seller’s products by attracting additional traffic through affiliate programs of LAliExpress CIS or other entities of Alibaba group is applicable only if the Seller additionally agrees to the relevant Platform User Agreement, otherwise it is not applicable to the Seller. The terms and conditions, including the commission rate, shall be governed by such Platform User Agreement.

Depending on the Territory of the Buyer’s location, payments from Buyers may be accepted only in a currency of the relevant country (Russian rubles for Russia or other applicable currency of the Territory), the “Payment Currency”.
