5.4 Sale Proceeds will be paid to your bank account on a weekly occurrence. Sales Proceeds can be credited only to bank accounts in the UAE or any other country shown on the Site as supported by our standard functionality and enabled for your account. We shall not be liable for any incorrect bank account details provided by you, and the consequences thereof.

5.5 To authorize payments to you, we may be required to create an account for you with our third-party payment processors, including accepting their standard terms and conditions and submitting your details to them on your behalf. You hereby authorize us to do so and we shall not be liable to you for any damage or loss you may incur as a result.

5.6 You agree that we may choose to offer discounts against your products. In such instance, we will include a discount in the invoice raised from you to the buyer and will pay for this discount by adjusting our commission.

Therefore, you agree that we can deduct a five percent (5%) charge on the sale price of the products sold into KSA. As per Article (54) of the UAE VAT Decree law, the definition of recoverable input tax is as follows:

The input tax that is recoverable by a taxable person for any tax period is the total of input tax paid for goods and services which are used or intended to be used for making any of the following:

  1. taxable supplies;
  2. supplies that are made outside the state which would have been taxable supplies had they been made in the state; and
  3. Supplies specified in the Executive Regulation of this Decree-Law that are made outside the state, which would have been treated as exempt had they been made inside the state.

5.8 If you have provided your VAT registration details, we will issue the invoice to the buyer on your behalf and remit to you the full amount collected from the buyer less any of our commissions.

5.9 If you have failed to provide your VAT registration details, we may purchase the product from you and resell the product to the buyer in accordance with clause 4.6 (a). You agree that we will deduct five percent (5%) from the payment remitted to you, unless a VAT invoice from you can be provided.

5.10 Notwithstanding these Seller Terms and without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, you acknowledge our right to:

(a) withhold all and any amounts owing to you to recover from such amounts all losses or damages suffered by us or a buyer, as solely determined by us, including with respect to: (i) products that infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights; or (ii) your fraudulent conduct.
