TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale

Welcome to TikTok Shop!

TikTok Shop is a third party marketplace provided via the TikTok mobile application (“TikTok Platform”), allowing you to access, browse, make a purchase on and otherwise use TikTok Shop, and providing features and services in connection with the foregoing, along with any other services we may provide from time to time (collectively, "TikTok Shop Services").

TikTok Shop is provided by TikTok (“TikTok”, “we”, “us” or “our”). You can find details of the relevant entity providing the TikTok Platform and TikTok Shop to you, and information about how to contact us, in the Additional Jurisdiction Specific Terms.

Your use of TikTok Shop is governed by:

1. the TikTok Terms of Service. TikTok Shop is a part of the “Platform” as defined in the TikTok Terms of Service for the TikTok Platform and TikTok Shop is offered subject to the TikTok Terms of Service; and
2. these Terms of Use and Sale ("TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale"), which apply in addition to the TikTok Terms of Service.

The TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale apply to TikTok Shop in the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia (collectively referred to in these TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale as "TikTok Shop").

These TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale are split into two sections:

Section A: TikTok Shop Terms of Use. The TikTok Shop Terms of Use apply to anyone who accesses, browses, makes a purchase on or otherwise uses TikTok Shop. This is a contract between you and TikTok; and

Section B: TikTok Shop Terms of Sale. The TikTok Shop Terms of Sale apply (in addition to the TikTok Shop Terms of Use) with respect to any purchases of goods ("Products") made by buyers ("Buyers") from third party traders on TikTok Shop ("Merchants"). This is a contract between Buyers and the relevant Merchant.

By using TikTok Shop (or clicking “Buy Now” or otherwise placing an order), you agree that (1) you can form a legally binding contract with TikTok, that you accept the TikTok Shop Terms of Use and that you will comply with them; and (2) you can form a legally binding contract with the relevant Merchant, that you accept the TikTok Shop Terms of Sale with the relevant Merchant, and that you will comply with them.

The TikTok Shop Terms of Use will continue in force until they are terminated by either you or TikTok in accordance with their termination provisions.

In the event of any conflict between these TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale and the TikTok Terms of Service, for the purposes of your use of or access to TikTok Shop, these Terms of Use and Sale will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

Any capitalised terms not defined in these TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale but defined in the TikTok Terms of Service have the meaning given to them in the TikTok Terms of Service.

SECTION A: TIKTOK SHOP TERMS OF USE

Your privacy is important to us. Please read the TikTok Privacy Policy and the TikTok Shop Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use and share information about you. Please also read our Cookie Policy to understand how we use cookies on the TikTok Shop.

The Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms apply in addition to these TikTok Shop Terms of Use and the TikTok Terms of Service, where Buyers make a Product purchase from TikTok Shop (“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 Use, the Additional Terms shall prevail.

TikTok Shop is only for people 18 years old and over (you may need to be older depending on where you are based – please see the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms for further information). By using TikTok Shop, you confirm that you are over the required minimum age. If we learn that someone under the required minimum age specified above (or in the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms) is using TikTok Shop, the user will not be able to purchase Products on TikTok Shop.

If you are over the required minimum age, and have a valid account with the TikTok Platform (“Account”), you can use such Account to purchase Products from Merchants on TikTok Shop.

Buyers can purchase Products from a Merchant on TikTok Shop and arrange with the Merchant to have the Products delivered to an address in any of the jurisdictions where TikTok Shop is made available by TikTok from time to time. We may use technical measures to restrict your access to TikTok Shop and you agree not to circumvent such technical measures. If you have any questions about the jurisdictions where TikTok Shop is available or your access to TikTok Shop, please contact us at e-commerce@tiktok.com.

All Products purchased on TikTok Shop must be paid for through a payment provider engaged by the Merchant using a valid payment method.

The payment provider is separate to us and you will be subject to their terms when making payments to Merchants. TikTok Shop does not provide you with any payment services and is not responsible for your payments to Merchants.

Please refer to the Additional Terms applicable to your jurisdiction set forth in the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms below for more information on payment.

When any tax is chargeable on the supply, the price listed on TikTok Shop will be inclusive of such applicable taxes, including but not limited to value-added tax ("VAT"), goods and services taxes, sales and service taxes, as well as customs duty and any other applicable import taxes (or, where it is not possible to provide the exact amount of such taxes or duties, you will be told that additional charges may be payable and the manner in which the price is to be calculated).

There may be instances in which you may need to pay additional taxes and/or customs duties. Please refer to the Additional Terms applicable to your jurisdiction set forth in the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms below for information on Customs and Tax Policy.

To use the TikTok Shop, you must follow the rules set out in these TikTok Shop Terms of Use, the rules set out in the TikTok Shop Terms of Sale, the rules set out in the TikTok Terms of Service, all applicable laws and regulations, and any rules, guidance or policies that we publish or update from time to time.

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.

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.

3. If the Merchant is making the Product to measurements or specifications you have given it, you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements and specifications are correct.

1. Purchase Price, Delivery Costs and Tax

If, despite its reasonable efforts, the Merchant is unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection it may cancel your order.

1. Information About You and Your Privacy

Please note that Merchants are independent controllers of the data that they collect about your via TikTok Shop, and TikTok is not responsible for their compliance with applicable law.

1. Disputes Between you and the Merchant
1. You and each Merchant that you choose to purchase from are responsible for resolving any dispute that may arise between you. TikTok may facilitate communications between Merchants and Buyers (or between Merchants/Buyers and relevant third parties), but TikTok is not a party to any such dispute and has no obligation to do so.
2. If you have a complaint relating to a Product, you should contact the Merchant. You may also use any alternative dispute resolution process offered by the Merchant.

1. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

1. Your Cooling Off Period Withdrawal Right
1. Unless one of the exceptions in Clause 13.6(IV)A.2 of these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale applies, you have the right to cancel an order for a Product at any time within the “cooling off period”. The cooling off period runs from when you place the order for the Product until the end of 14 days after the day on which the Product was delivered to you or to a third party other than the carrier designated by you.
2. The above right of cancellation will not apply in respect of the following Products, subject to Clause 13.6(IV)B of these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale (Problems with Products):

• products such as cosmetics, earrings, personal health care products, baby products (e.g. bathing, diapering, feeding products, teethers), feminine hygiene products, intimate apparel such as underwear and swimwear, where the packaging has been opened and/or any hygiene seal broken;
• audio, video or computer software products where the security seal has been broken;
• products that are made to the buyer's specifications or clearly personalised; and
• products which may deteriorate or expire rapidly and therefore are not suitable for return.
1. In order to cancel an order for a Product under this Clause 13.6(IV)A, you must signify your decision to cancel before the expiry of the cooling off period by following the instructions on order summary page or the my order page. You may also use this form. You will then have a right to return the Product and obtain a refund as set out below. The cancellation ends both your and the Merchant’s obligations to perform under the TikTok Shop Terms of Sale.
2. If you submit a request to cancel an order after the expiry of the cooling off period, you will have lost your right to cancel the order under this Clause and will not have a right to return and refund as set out below.
3. If you submit a request to cancel an order and the Product is either in transit to you, or has already been delivered to you, in order to obtain a refund, you must return the Product by the end of 14 days after the day you submit your request. Details of how and where to return the Product are set out on TikTok Shop. Unless stated otherwise in the Enhanced Terms, it is your responsibility to pay for the delivery of returning the Products. Merchants may offer to collect Products from you, and if they do so this will be set out in the Enhanced Terms.
4. Once the Product is received from you, you will be eligible for a refund of any payments actually paid by you for the Product plus the delivery cost that you paid for the Product (up to the price of the cheapest delivery option offered by the Merchant). If you elected to pay for a more expensive delivery option than the cheapest delivery option, you may not be refunded your entire delivery cost (just the amount of the cheapest delivery option). For example, if the Merchant offers delivery of a Product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then the Merchant is only obliged to refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
5. You must return the Product for which you have requested a refund (in compliance with these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale) in order to be eligible for a refund. If you send an item that is not the correct Product, this may be disposed of, and there is no guarantee that it will be found or returned to you. No compensation will be provided to you for any loss this may cause.
6. All refunds due to you under this Clause 13.6(IV)A will be processed by the end of 14 days after the day the Product is received from you (or if it has been agreed that the Product will be collected from you, by the end of 14 days after the day of your cancellation request). The refund will be made using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise.
7. If the value of the Product you have returned is diminished by any amount as a result of you handling the Product beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product (in other words, the sort of handling that might reasonably be allowed in a physical shop), an amount may be recovered from you, up to the purchase price of the Product. This may be done by deducting the amount from the refund that would otherwise be due to you. For the purposes of this foregoing, it may be deemed that the removal of tags, labels and/or packaging from the Product is handling that is more than necessary.

1. Problems with Products
1. You have certain rights under law, including that a Product is as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. You also have certain remedies available to you under law if those rights are breached, for example to a refund, repair and/or replacement.
2. Nothing in these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale limit or exclude the above rights that you have under law. You should follow the instructions on TikTok Shop if you wish to exercise such rights.
3. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject a Product you must return them to the Merchant. The Merchant is responsible for paying the costs of postage or collection. To arrange this, you will need to follow the instructions on TikTok Shop.

1. Customs

You agree that, where applicable, you will act as the importer of the products purchased and you hereby authorize the Merchant (as applicable) to appoint a customs agent to act in your name as direct representative in connection with the import of the goods and to pay any import VAT, customs duties and other related taxes (if any) on your behalf.

By confirming your Purchase, you agree to pay all applicable fees, taxes, and other amounts associated with the Purchase. Further, you acknowledge your liability for VAT and customs duties, whether charged by TikTok or the Merchant or payable on import. Please note that import VAT, customs duties, and similar charges collected at the time of Purchase are estimated values and may be subject to change depending on local laws. If additional amounts are assessed, you are responsible for them. We cannot be liable if a product is delayed or denied customs clearance as a result of your failure to pay such amounts.

1. Liability

Nothing in these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale limits the Merchant's liability for death or personal injury caused by the Merchant or the Merchant’s negligence or the negligence of its employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Products.UPDATED AS AT 8 JULY 2022

TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale

Welcome to TikTok Shop!

TikTok Shop is a third party marketplace provided via the TikTok mobile application (“TikTok Platform”), allowing you to access, browse, make a purchase on and otherwise use TikTok Shop, and providing features and services in connection with the foregoing, along with any other services we may provide from time to time (collectively, "TikTok Shop Services").

TikTok Shop is provided by TikTok (“TikTok”, “we”, “us” or “our”). You can find details of the relevant entity providing the TikTok Platform and TikTok Shop to you, and information about how to contact us, in the Additional Jurisdiction Specific Terms.

Your use of TikTok Shop is governed by:

1. the TikTok Terms of Service. TikTok Shop is a part of the “Platform” as defined in the TikTok Terms of Service for the TikTok Platform and TikTok Shop is offered subject to the TikTok Terms of Service; and
2. these Terms of Use and Sale ("TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale"), which apply in addition to the TikTok Terms of Service.

These TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale are split into two sections:

Section A: TikTok Shop Terms of Use. The TikTok Shop Terms of Use apply to anyone who accesses, browses, makes a purchase on or otherwise uses TikTok Shop. This is a contract between you and TikTok; and

Section B: TikTok Shop Terms of Sale. The TikTok Shop Terms of Sale apply (in addition to the TikTok Shop Terms of Use) with respect to any purchases of goods ("Products") made by buyers ("Buyers") from third party traders on TikTok Shop ("Merchants"). This is a contract between Buyers and the relevant Merchant.

By using TikTok Shop (or clicking “Buy Now” or otherwise placing an order), you agree that (1) you can form a legally binding contract with TikTok, that you accept the TikTok Shop Terms of Use and that you will comply with them; and (2) you can form a legally binding contract with the relevant Merchant, that you accept the TikTok Shop Terms of Sale with the relevant Merchant, and that you will comply with them.

The TikTok Shop Terms of Use will continue in force until they are terminated by either you or TikTok in accordance with their termination provisions.

In the event of any conflict between these TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale and the TikTok Terms of Service, for the purposes of your use of or access to TikTok Shop, these Terms of Use and Sale will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency.

Any capitalised terms not defined in these TikTok Shop Terms of Use and Sale but defined in the TikTok Terms of Service have the meaning given to them in the TikTok Terms of Service.

SECTION A: TIKTOK SHOP TERMS OF USE

Your privacy is important to us. Please read the TikTok Privacy Policy and the TikTok Shop Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use and share information about you. Please also read our Cookie Policy to understand how we use cookies on the TikTok Shop.

The Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms apply in addition to these TikTok Shop Terms of Use and the TikTok Terms of Service, where Buyers make a Product purchase from TikTok Shop (“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 Use, the Additional Terms shall prevail.

TikTok Shop is only for people 18 years old and over (you may need to be older depending on where you are based – please see the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms for further information). By using TikTok Shop, you confirm that you are over the required minimum age. If we learn that someone under the required minimum age specified above (or in the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms) is using TikTok Shop, the user will not be able to purchase Products on TikTok Shop.

If you are over the required minimum age, and have a valid account with the TikTok Platform (“Account”), you can use such Account to purchase Products from Merchants on TikTok Shop.

Buyers can purchase Products from a Merchant on TikTok Shop and arrange with the Merchant to have the Products delivered to an address in any of the jurisdictions where TikTok Shop is made available by TikTok from time to time. We may use technical measures to restrict your access to TikTok Shop and you agree not to circumvent such technical measures. If you have any questions about the jurisdictions where TikTok Shop is available or your access to TikTok Shop, please contact us at e-commerce@tiktok.com.

All Products purchased on TikTok Shop must be paid for through a payment provider engaged by the Merchant using a valid payment method.

The payment provider is separate to us and you will be subject to their terms when making payments to Merchants. TikTok Shop does not provide you with any payment services and is not responsible for your payments to Merchants.

Please refer to the Additional Terms applicable to your jurisdiction set forth in the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms below for more information on payment.

When any tax is chargeable on the supply, the price listed on TikTok Shop will be inclusive of such applicable taxes, including but not limited to value-added tax ("VAT"), goods and services taxes, sales and service taxes, as well as customs duty and any other applicable import taxes (or, where it is not possible to provide the exact amount of such taxes or duties, you will be told that additional charges may be payable and the manner in which the price is to be calculated).

There may be instances in which you may need to pay additional taxes and/or customs duties. Please refer to the Additional Terms applicable to your jurisdiction set forth in the Additional Jurisdiction-Specific Terms below for information on Customs and Tax Policy.

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. Products
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.
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)).

1. Contract for Sale
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. If your order is successful, you will then receive an order acknowledgment message via TikTok Shop which contains details of your order.

4. You must comply with your obligations under these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale (including any Enhanced Terms).

1. Enhanced Terms

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. 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.

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.
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.

1. A Product will be your responsibility from the time the Merchant delivers the Product to the address you gave the Merchant for delivery. You own a Product once the Merchant has received payment in full for it.

If, despite its reasonable efforts, the Merchant is unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection it may cancel your order.

1. Information About You and Your Privacy

Please note that Merchants are independent controllers of the data that they collect about your via TikTok Shop, and TikTok is not responsible for their compliance with applicable law.

1. Disputes Between you and the Merchant
1. You and each Merchant that you choose to purchase from are responsible for resolving any dispute that may arise between you. TikTok may facilitate communications between Merchants and Buyers (or between Merchants/Buyers and relevant third parties), but TikTok is not a party to any such dispute and has no obligation to do so.
2. If you have a complaint relating to a Product, you should contact the Merchant. You may also use any alternative dispute resolution process offered by the Merchant.

1. Your Cooling Off Period Withdrawal Right
1. Unless one of the exceptions in Clause 13.6(IV)A.2 of these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale applies, you have the right to cancel an order for a Product at any time within the “cooling off period”. The cooling off period runs from when you place the order for the Product until the end of 14 days after the day on which the Product was delivered to you or to a third party other than the carrier designated by you.
2. The above right of cancellation will not apply in respect of the following Products, subject to Clause 13.6(IV)B of these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale (Problems with Products):

• products such as cosmetics, earrings, personal health care products, baby products (e.g. bathing, diapering, feeding products, teethers), feminine hygiene products, intimate apparel such as underwear and swimwear, where the packaging has been opened and/or any hygiene seal broken;
• audio, video or computer software products where the security seal has been broken;
• products that are made to the buyer's specifications or clearly personalised; and
• products which may deteriorate or expire rapidly and therefore are not suitable for return.
1. In order to cancel an order for a Product under this Clause 13.6(IV)A, you must signify your decision to cancel before the expiry of the cooling off period by following the instructions on order summary page or the my order page. You may also use this form. You will then have a right to return the Product and obtain a refund as set out below. The cancellation ends both your and the Merchant’s obligations to perform under the TikTok Shop Terms of Sale.
2. If you submit a request to cancel an order after the expiry of the cooling off period, you will have lost your right to cancel the order under this Clause and will not have a right to return and refund as set out below.
3. If you submit a request to cancel an order and the Product is either in transit to you, or has already been delivered to you, in order to obtain a refund, you must return the Product by the end of 14 days after the day you submit your request. Details of how and where to return the Product are set out on TikTok Shop. Unless stated otherwise in the Enhanced Terms, it is your responsibility to pay for the delivery of returning the Products. Merchants may offer to collect Products from you, and if they do so this will be set out in the Enhanced Terms.
4. Once the Product is received from you, you will be eligible for a refund of any payments actually paid by you for the Product plus the delivery cost that you paid for the Product (up to the price of the cheapest delivery option offered by the Merchant). If you elected to pay for a more expensive delivery option than the cheapest delivery option, you may not be refunded your entire delivery cost (just the amount of the cheapest delivery option). For example, if the Merchant offers delivery of a Product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then the Merchant is only obliged to refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
5. You must return the Product for which you have requested a refund (in compliance with these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale) in order to be eligible for a refund. If you send an item that is not the correct Product, this may be disposed of, and there is no guarantee that it will be found or returned to you. No compensation will be provided to you for any loss this may cause.
6. All refunds due to you under this Clause 13.6(IV)A will be processed by the end of 14 days after the day the Product is received from you (or if it has been agreed that the Product will be collected from you, by the end of 14 days after the day of your cancellation request). The refund will be made using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise.
7. If the value of the Product you have returned is diminished by any amount as a result of you handling the Product beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product (in other words, the sort of handling that might reasonably be allowed in a physical shop), an amount may be recovered from you, up to the purchase price of the Product. This may be done by deducting the amount from the refund that would otherwise be due to you. For the purposes of this foregoing, it may be deemed that the removal of tags, labels and/or packaging from the Product is handling that is more than necessary.

1. Problems with Products
1. You have certain rights under law, including that a Product is as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. You also have certain remedies available to you under law if those rights are breached, for example to a refund, repair and/or replacement.
2. Nothing in these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale limit or exclude the above rights that you have under law. You should follow the instructions on TikTok Shop if you wish to exercise such rights.
3. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject a Product you must return them to the Merchant. The Merchant is responsible for paying the costs of postage or collection. To arrange this, you will need to follow the instructions on TikTok Shop.

1. Customs

You agree that, where applicable, you will act as the importer of the products purchased and you hereby authorize the Merchant (as applicable) to appoint a customs agent to act in your name as direct representative in connection with the import of the goods and to pay any import VAT, customs duties and other related taxes (if any) on your behalf.

By confirming your Purchase, you agree to pay all applicable fees, taxes, and other amounts associated with the Purchase. Further, you acknowledge your liability for VAT and customs duties, whether charged by TikTok or the Merchant or payable on import. Please note that import VAT, customs duties, and similar charges collected at the time of Purchase are estimated values and may be subject to change depending on local laws. If additional amounts are assessed, you are responsible for them. We cannot be liable if a product is delayed or denied customs clearance as a result of your failure to pay such amounts.

1. Liability

Nothing in these TikTok Shop Terms of Sale limits the Merchant's liability for death or personal injury caused by the Merchant or the Merchant’s negligence or the negligence of its employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Products.
