7. TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS

7.1 Through the Sites, Alibaba.com provides electronic web-based platforms for
exchanging information between buyers and sellers of products and services. 
Alibaba.com additionally provides electronic web-based transaction platforms for
Members to place, accept, conclude, manage and fulfill orders for the provision
of products and services online within the Sites subject to the terms of the
Transaction Services Agreement.  However, for any Services, Alibaba.com does not
represent either the seller or the buyer in specific transactions. Alibaba.com
does not control and is not liable or responsible for the quality, safety,
lawfulness or availability of the products or services offered for sale on the
Sites, the ability of the sellers to complete a sale or the ability of buyers to
complete a purchase. 
7.2 Users are hereby made aware that there may be risks of dealing with people
acting under false pretenses. Alibaba.com uses several techniques to verify the
accuracy of certain information our paying Users provide us when they register
for a paying membership service on the Sites.  However, because user
verification on the Internet is difficult, Alibaba.com cannot and does not
confirm each User's purported identity (including, without limitation, paying
Members). We encourage you to use various means, as well as common sense, to
evaluate with whom you are dealing. 
7.3 Buyers and sellers accessing or using the Sites or Services shall assume the
risks of conducting any purchase and sale transactions in connection with or
through the Sites or Services. Buyer and sellers accessing or using the Site or
Services shall also fully assume all risks of liability or harm of any kind
arising out of or in connection with any subsequent activity relating to the
products or services that are the subject of the transactions on the Sites.
Examples of such risks shall include, but are not limited to, mis-representation
of products and services, fraudulent schemes, unsatisfactory product quality,
failure to meet specifications, defective or dangerous products, unlawful
products, delay or default in delivery or payment, cost mis-calculations, breach
of warranty, breach of contract, transportation accidents, the risk that the
manufacture, importation, export, distribution, offer, display, purchase, sale
and/or use of products or services offered or displayed on the Sites may violate
or may be asserted to violate Third Party Rights, and the risk that Users may
incur costs of defense or other costs in connection with third parties’
assertion of Third Party Rights, or in connection with any claims by any party
that they are entitled to defense or indemnification in relation to the
assertion of rights, demands or claims by claimants of Third Party Rights.
Examples of such risks also include the risk of claims from consumers, other
purchasers, end-users of products or other third parties that they have suffered
injuries or harm from their use of the products obtained through the Sites or
Services. All of the foregoing risks are referred to as "Transaction Risks".
Alibaba.com is not liable or responsible for any damages, claims, liabilities,
costs, harm, inconveniences, business disruptions or expenditures of any kind
that may arise a result of or in connection with any Transaction Risks. 
7.4 Buyers and sellers on the Sites are solely responsible for setting out and
performance of the terms and conditions of the transactions conducted on,
through or as a result of use of the Sites or Services, including, without
limitation, terms regarding payment, returns, warranties, shipping, insurance,
fees, taxes, title, licenses, fines, permits, handling, transportation and
storage, subject to any additional obligations imposed under the Transaction
Services Agreement(and in particular, clause 3.2).
7.5 User agrees to provide all information and materials as may be reasonably
required by Alibaba.com in connection with your transactions conducted on,
through or as a result of use of the Sites or Services.  Alibaba.com has the

the required information and materials without liability for any losses or
damages arising out of or in connection with such suspension or termination.
7.6 In the event that any User has a dispute with any party to a transaction,
such User agrees to release and indemnify Alibaba.com (and our agents,
affiliates, directors, officers and employees) from all claims, demands,
actions, proceedings, costs, expenses and damages (including without limitation
any actual, special, incidental or consequential damages) arising out of or in
connection with such dispute or the transaction.
7.7 The sellers declare, and the buyers acknowledge, that all the contents the
sellers provide contain commercial communications.

of products and services, fraudulent schemes, unsatisfactory product quality,
failure to meet specifications, defective or dangerous products, unlawful

of warranty, breach of contract, transportation accidents, the risk that the
manufacture, importation, export, distribution, offer, display, purchase, sale
and/or use of products or services offered or displayed on the Sites may violate
or may be asserted to violate Third Party Rights, and the risk that Users may
incur costs of defense or other costs in connection with third parties’
assertion of Third Party Rights, or in connection with any claims by any party
that they are entitled to defense or indemnification in relation to the
assertion of rights, demands or claims by claimants of Third Party Rights.
