1. Purpose and Scope of the Annex

JMS services shall be understood as services provided by JMS Provider to enable you to offer and sell your products on other online platforms (each of which is referred to as the “Partner Platform”) to individual customers.

You hereby authorize JMS Provider to act as your agent while registering you on the Partner Platform and offering your products either in the name of JMS Provider or in your name. You agree that JMS Provider has the right to unilaterally decide if to offer your products in its own name and on your behalf or at your name and on your behalf depending on the requirements of the Partner Platform and terms of agreements with the Partner Platform. When JMS Provider offers products in its own name acting as your agent, you remain solely and fully liable for any such products, information accompanying products and compliance with the applicable legislation of the Partner Platform and of any country where JMS Provider and the Partner Platform operate.

In addition to the above, you authorize JMS Provider to take the following actions on your behalf:

  • Accept the terms and conditions of the Partner Platform and any other documents in your name and on your behalf or in JMS Provider’s name but on your behalf.
  • Provide the Partner Platform’s operator with KYC or other documents required for registration and your further operating (or JMS Provider’s operations on your behalf) on the Partner Platform. In case additional documents are requested by the Partner Platform as compared to those that are in possession of JMS Provider, you shall provide JMS Provider with such complete and valid set of documents immediately upon request otherwise you must bear any responsibility for non-provision of documents or their incorrectness or incompleteness.
  • Choose products to be offered on the Partner Platform.
  • Negotiate commercial terms applicable to sales of your products on the Partner Platform.
  • Create a seller’s account on your behalf and in your name or in the name of JMS Provider (depending on the requirements of the Partner Platform) on the Partner Platform and transfer via the technical integration between JMS Provider and the Partner Platform information about your products, any content related to you or your products, and information about orders of your products made on the Partner Platform. JMS Provider reserves the right to amend the information provided by you in relation to your products, including translation it to other languages, in which case you remain responsible for the correctness of any adjustment or amendment made and shall notify JMS Provider immediately in case any information becomes false or incorrect.

Before your products can be offered and sold on the Partner Platform, you shall accept terms and policies as required by the Partner Platform. In case the Partner Platform requires you to accept additional terms or policies or accept any changes in documents regulating your activities on the Partner Platform, you shall review them carefully and notify both JMS Provider and the Partner Platform in case you do not want to proceed with any such new or updated documents. As specified in Section 1 above, you hereby authorize JMS Provider to act as your commercial agent for negotiating the commercial terms of your operations on the Partner Platform. Any changes in such commercial conditions, including amounts of commissions applicable to your sales on the Partner Platform, shall not be changed by you unilaterally without prior agreement between you and JMS Provider. In case of breach of this provision, you will be charged with the amount of difference resulting from non-agreed changes as well as with any losses and expenses JMS Provider may incur as a result of it (the amounts will be set off against the sums payable to you for the sales made on the Partner Platform).

In case JMS Provider acts in its own name but on your behalf, JMS Provider is hereby appointed by you to conclude any agreement and accept any terms and policies required to offer your products on the Partner Platform. Provisions of any such agreement, terms and conditions shall be considered as acceptable to you, while you shall be considered fully abode by any terms provided therein.

When JMS Provider offers your products on the Partner Platform, regardless of acting in its own name or in your name, it acts in your interests and in your favor, providing the Partner Platform with all the information in its possession about your products, information about their storage and locations of storage and dispatch as well as any other information that may be considered necessary. Any liability that may arise due to your non-compliance with any applicable legislation, non-compliance or unsafety of your products, absence of any documents or information about products either mandatory under the applicable legislation or required by the terms of the Partner Platform shall be your liability, not the liability of JMS Provider. In case JMS Provider bear any losses, including but not limited to any expenses it may incur regarding any negotiation, investigation, litigation or any other kind of proceedings, legal expenses including actual attorney fees, shall be compensated in full by you immediately upon request of JMS Provider. JMS Provider reserves the right to set off any payments due to you according to the Terms of Service against any such losses and monetary claims JMS Provider may have under this Annex.

You remain solely and fully responsible for the quality and safety of your products, the correctness, validity and reliability of any information and content related to your products. In case the Partner Platform request to provide any additional information related to you and your products, including any legal or KYC information, you shall be solely responsible for the timely provision of such information, its correctness and completeness.

When requested by JMS Provider, you shall participate in the resolution of any claims that Partner Platform’s customers, responsible authorities or any third parties may have against you or your products and remain solely responsible and liable for the resolution of any such claims and disputes.

Any change of the information related to you (including, but not limited to the legal and KYC information such as your legal entity, address, representatives, etc. or information related to your products) shall be made via JMS Provider’s interface for sellers. You undertake not to make any such changes directly on the Partner Platform unless agreed with JMS Provider beforehand.

You undertake not to register and sell your products in your name on the same Partner Platform on which JMS Provider acts on your behalf and agree to offer your products on that platform solely on the terms of this Annex and with the assistance of JMS Provider.

3. Personal Data

JMS Partner will receive from the Partner Platform and process personal data of customers ordering products sold by you. To the extent necessary for fulfilling a customer’s order, JMS Provider will provide certain personal data to you.

You and JMS Provider shall be independent data controllers (data operators) when processing personal data of customers. In no event shall JMS Provider be considered processing customers’ personal data on your behalf and vice versa.

You shall at all times comply with the applicable legislation. You are limited to using such data for fulfillment of customer’s order and may not use the data for, among others, marketing purposes.

4. Liability and compensations

For the avoidance of doubt, any compensation provided in the JMS Provider’s Terms of Service (including, but not limited to non-delivery compensations) do not apply to the sales of your products on the Partner Platform.

In case JMS Provider incurs any additional expenses due to your non-performance of this agreement or non-compliance with the Partner Platform’s terms, conditions and policies, including, but not limited to expenses as the result of cancellation of an order, compensations paid to a customer, etc., JMS Provider has the right to adjust amounts to be paid to you according to the agreement with the Partner by any such expenses or compensations.

5. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold JMS Provider and (as applicable) JMS Provider’s parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Annex or the documents incorporated by reference, any terms and policies of the Partner Platform or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

6. Termination

You have the right to terminate this Annex with mandatory prior notification of JMS Provider on that not later than 90 calendar days before the termination.

JMS Provider reserves the right to terminate this Annex, block your account on JMS Provider’s platform and seize any payments due to you according to the Terms of Service and this Annex in case you create a separate account on the Partner Platform without prior agreement with JMS Provider or otherwise breach any of the provisions stipulated above or that may be agreed upon in writing by the parties in the future.
