SECTION B: TIKTOK SHOP TERMS OF SALE
TikTok Shop allows buyers (“Buyers”) to purchase products (“Products”) from third party traders (“Merchants”). TikTok Shop operates as a third party marketplace for Merchants, and TikTok does not itself sell Products on TikTok Shop, nor is it party to any contract for the sale of Products to Buyers. Set out below are the terms and conditions (“TikTok Shop Terms of Sale”) that govern the sale of Products by Merchants to you as a Buyer. Please read these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale carefully before placing an order for a Product from a Merchant on TikTok Shop. Once you have a legally binding contract between you and the Merchant (as described in Clause 2 below), these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale (together with any Enhanced Terms, as described in Clause 3 below) will become a legally binding Sales Contract (as described in Clause 2.3 below) between You and the Merchant. The TikTok Shop Terms of Sale are an agreement between Merchants and Buyers; TikTok is not a party to the TikTok Shop Terms of Sale. The Merchant that you will be purchasing a Product from via TikTok Shop will be identified on the ‘product detail page’ of the relevant Product (“Product Detail Page”). All references to “Merchant” in these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale mean the Merchant that you will be purchasing a Product from on TikTok Shop.Any capitalised terms used but not defined in these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale are defined and have the meaning given to them in the TikTok Shop Terms of Use.The Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms apply in addition to these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale where Buyers make a Product purchase (“Purchase”) depending on their usual residence (“Additional Terms”). In the event of any conflict between the Additional Terms and the rest of these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale, the Additional Terms shall prevail. 1 Products1.1 Product information is provided by the relevant Merchant on the Product Detail Page. You should review the information of the Products which you intend to purchase before placing an order on TikTok Shop.1.2 Merchants are responsible for making sure that any Product is fit for purpose and corresponds with the description it provides on the Product Detail Page, and they are responsible for complying with any refund, replacement or cancellation rights that you have under these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale (including any Enhanced Terms (as defined in Clause 3)). 2 Contract for Sale2.1 You may place an order for a Product by clicking ‘Buy Now'. Your order will be subject to these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale (including any Enhanced Terms (as defined in Clause 3)).2.2 If your order is successful, you will then receive an order acknowledgment message (via TikTok Shop or any other channel as determined by TikTok) which contains details of your order. 2.3 The order acknowledgement is confirmation that your order has been received and that a legally binding contract between you and the Merchant has been formed based on the TikTok Shop Terms of Sale (including any Enhanced Terms) (“Sales Contract”).2.4 You must comply with your obligations under these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale (including any Enhanced Terms). 3 Enhanced Terms3.1 These TikTok Shop Terms of Sale set out your basic rights in respect of the purchase of a Product from a Merchant. The Merchant may, however, choose to offer certain improved rights of cancellation, return and refund (“Enhanced Terms”). Depending on their location, Merchants may also provide you with access to a free mediation scheme. Contact details of the relevant mediation organisation will be provided in the Enhanced Terms. 3.2 If a Merchant offers Enhanced Terms, these will be detailed on the Product Detail Page of the relevant Product and will be deemed to apply to the TikTok Shop Terms of Sale instead of the equivalent terms set out below. 3.3 In the event of any conflict between the Enhanced Terms and the rest of the Terms of Use and Sale (including these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale), the Enhanced Terms prevail provided such terms are an improvement to the rights provided in these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale.4 Purchases4.1 If you have a right to return a Purchase or a cancellation right according to the applicable laws in your country, your rights to such return or cancellation will not be affected by any Merchants' rules to the contrary.4.2 The logistics for arranging a return of a Product and any associated fees will be as you agree with the Merchant.5 The Merchant’s Liability to You5.1 If the Merchant fails to comply with these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale, it is responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of its breach, but it is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable, except in cases of fraud or gross misconduct. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the TikTok Shop Terms of Sale was made, both the Merchant and you knew it might happen.5.2 The Merchant is not permitted to exclude or limit in any way its liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so, including any mandatory provisions of local law.6 Merchant’s right to cancel6.1 The Merchant may cancel your order (and, if relevant, require the return of any Products provided to you and the Merchant will refund any amounts paid if):- you do not comply with your obligations under these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale;
