The Service Fee is calculated at the rates specified above, as a commission (%) of the purchase price designated by the Seller and received in favour of the Seller from the Buyers through the Marketplace. LAliExpress CIS shall make payments as provided in Section 9 of the Agreement.

The Service Fee set forth herein includes the service fee for the Easy Dispute services provided under User Agreement for Simplified Dispute Resolution Procedure on the LAliExpress Platform (Easy Dispute Offer). The Seller hereby confirms and acknowledge that the Seller has read and accepted the User Agreement for Simplified Dispute Resolution Procedure on the LAliExpress Platform (Easy Dispute Offer).

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”. To optimize the Platform and to facilitate the deal between the Buyer and the Seller LAliExpress CIS via its partners or Affiliates may display on the Platform and apply the purchase price payable by the Buyer in the Payment Currency based on available conversion currency exchange rate, and may optimise the purchase price payable by the Buyer in the Payment Currency through technical means. Through utilizing such service, the purchase price of goods for Buyers may be adjusted upward or downward. There will be no changes to your basic commission based on proceeds received in favour of the Seller from the Buyers through the Marketplace. You understand and agree to this technical adjustment and release and sell products at the adjusted price, and agree that the difference and upward adjustment generated by the optimization of the currency sales price paid by Buyers will be charged by LAliExpress CIS as a technical service fee and shall be transferred to LAliExpress CIS. LAliExpress CIS reserves the right to adjust such specific technical service fees from time to time. On the contrary, any downward adjustment is a subsidy by LAliExpress CIS acting as a service provider for the Seller, shall be borne by LAliExpress CIS and payable to the Seller. Any such subsidy cost may be set off by LAliExpress CIS from other sums due from the Seller to LAliExpress CIS, including but not limited to service commission fees due to LAliExpress CIS from the Seller, decreasing such service commission fees. You know and agree that LAliExpress does not guarantee that its technical means of adjusting and optimizing the sales price of goods are flawless.

In order to ensure the safety of funds and reduce exchange losses, You grant LAliExpress CIS the right to update the local currency of the merchant store at any time at its sole discretion, and to require you to provide product prices in the currency corresponding to Russian ruble or the other applicable local currency at the Buyer`s location. Accordingly, the settlement of marketing, reverse and other related fees incurred by your account will be adjusted consistently according to the local currency code.

LAliExpress CIS may reward high-quality sellers with good service quality and growing business scale by the end of the calendar year or earlier.
