The TikTok Shop is a social e-commerce platform, which mainly allows Sellers to Offer Products to Users of the Platform. A User who buys a Product from a Seller is a Buyer in these Terms. The TikTok Shop allows Sellers to: • get access to seller center (“Seller Center”) and utilize the services/features We offer; • upload and manage Product information and listings for display to Users; • receive orders and conclude sales to Buyers; • track and manage orders and deliveries; • provide customer services to Buyers; • establish promotion plans, e.g., through the affiliate feature; and • use other functionalities and features (e.g., Showcase) offered by TikTok Shop to Seller. Further information about the features of the TikTok Shop can be found in the TikTok Shop Academy (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam). IMPORTANT: The contract for sale of the Product (the “Sale”) is always between the Seller and the Buyer. You are responsible for compliance with all laws applicable to that Offer and Sale, both in the Buyer’s location and Your location (collectively, “Applicable Law”). You must also comply with the contract between you and the Buyer for the sale of Products (the “Terms of Sale”) – see here. It is a material breach of these Terms if You do not comply with Applicable Law or the Terms of Sale. Who Can Use the TikTok Shop? Sellers approved in advance by TikTok can use the TikTok Shop. If You are approved, You can also authorise a third party to manage and to engage with the TikTok Shop on Your behalf. IMPORTANT: If You do authorise a third party to do this for You, You will remain responsible for all their activities on the TikTok Shop. Where Can You Use the TikTok Shop to Sell Products? Approved Sellers can use the TikTok Shop to Offer Products to Users located in any of the jurisdictions where the TikTok Shop is made available by TikTok from time to time. Does TikTok Sell Products Itself on the TikTok Shop? No. 6.How to Use the TikTok Shop How to register as a Seller on TikTok Shop Before registering as a Seller on the TikTok Shop, You will need to have a Platform account (“Account”). You will be asked to provide certain information (“Onboarding Information”) to TikTok during the registration process. We will use Your Onboarding Information to assess whether or not You will be authorised to use the TikTok Shop. If You are, You will be able to access Seller functionality via the TikTok Shop. Instructions for registering as a Seller and what Onboarding Information You will need to provide can be found in the TikTok Shop Seller Registration Guidelines (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam). It is a material breach of these Terms if You do not provide, and maintain at all times, complete and accurate Onboarding Information. IMPORTANT: After You are authorised to use Your Account for the TikTok Shop, Your Account will automatically switch from a non-business Account to a business Account. If there is an inconsistency between these Terms and the Platform Terms of Service, these Terms shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency, to the extent such conflict relates to the TikTok Shop. How to List Products Once You have successfully registered as a Seller on the TikTok Shop, You will be able to upload the details of Your Product(s) and list them for display to Users. Instructions for how to do this and the checks We conduct before a listing goes live (“Product Eligibility Criteria”) can be found in the TikTok Shop Academy (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam) and the TikTok Shop Product Listing Guidelines for Sellers (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam). It is a material breach of these Terms if You do not provide complete and accurate details of Your Products to Buyers prior to and after a Sale. Your Product listing must make available all legally required terms and conditions (under Applicable Law) to a Buyer prior to the conclusion of any Sale. It is a material breach of these Terms if You do not provide a Buyer such terms and conditions prior to the conclusion of any Sale. How to Sell Products You may sell Your Products in the manners made available to You (e.g., add the anchor link of the Products to the content shared by You or on Your behalf, or sell Your Products via live streaming). The availability of some functionalities used for selling Products may be restricted to certain Sellers, as determined at TikTok’s sole discretion. How to Process a Sale Once a Sale occurs, an order (“Order”) will be generated in Your Account. You are responsible for processing and shipment of that Order. Instructions on how to do that, can be found in the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms, TikTok Shop Academy (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam) and the TikTok Shop Customer Order Shipping Guidelines for Sellers (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam) and the TikTok Shop International Shipping Guidelines for Sellers (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam) (as applicable). It is a material breach of these Terms if You do not arrange for the shipment of a Product to the Buyer after a Sale in accordance with the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms or if the Product that You do send to the Buyer does not conform in all material respects with the description of the Product provided to the Buyer pre-Sale. Communication with Buyers We offer You features to communicate with the Buyers to facilitate the performance of certain Orders and respond to enquiries from Buyers. You can also review and reply to comments from Buyers towards any specific Order. You acknowledge and agree that Your messages shall comply with Community Guidelines. Returns, Replacements and Cancellations Sellers are responsible for complying with any refund, replacement or cancellation rights that a Buyer may have under Applicable Law and the further Product obligations set out in the TikTok Shop Customer Order Cancellation, Return and Refund Guidelines (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam) and the TikTok Shop International Returns Guidelines (Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam) (as applicable).

It is a material breach of these Terms if You do not provide a Buyer with a refund or a right to cancel a Sale or replace a Product where the Buyer has a legal right to do so under Applicable Law. IMPORTANT: We note in particular that in some jurisdictions Buyers are entitled to cancel a Sale without reason (“Withdrawal Right”). It is a material breach of these Terms if You do not honour a Buyer’s Withdrawal Right where they are entitled to it under Applicable Law. Product Recall You are responsible for complying with any recall or safety notice required to be given in respect of any Product Offered by You under Applicable Law. You agree to immediately remove any Product from the TikTok Shop if it is subject to any recall or safety notice. It is a material breach of these Terms if You do not remove any such Product. Product Ranking The main parameters We use when determining whether and how Your Products are offered to Users are: • User activity on TikTok Shop: such as clicking on Product listings or engaging with Creator Content; • User information: information Users disclose in their account. For example, their age, gender, location, or interests they have disclosed to Us via their User settings; • Product pricing: in combination with other parameters, product pricing also impacts the ranking of Your Products to Users; • Product listing quality: We measure Product listing quality by assessing relevant features of the Product listing, such as whether the images of the Products are of a low quality; and • Creator Content quality: We measure Creator Content quality by assessing relevant features of the Creator Content, such as whether the videos are of a low quality, and User engagement with Creator Content, such number of views.
