Hi, how can we help?

1. Introduction

1.1 Welcome to the Shopee International Platform Program (“Program”).  This Program is an additional service provided by Shopee Singapore Private Limited, SCommerce Private Limited, and their affiliates and subsidiaries (“Shopee”) where Shopee-registered Sellers based in Singapore (“you” or “Seller”) that list items for sale on or through the website https://shopee.sg/  (“SG Site”) via a shop on the SG Site (“SG Shop”) may simultaneously list their products on and through the website, and mobile app, or any other internet domain property of Shopee or its affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Overseas Sites”). This Shopee International Platform Terms of Service (“SIP TOS”) is intended to cover the activities provided by Shopee to Sellers under this Program including, without limitation, collecting, reconciling and executing all transactions between Seller and an overseas Buyer under this Program. If you are a Seller, you will be deemed to have consented to the terms and conditions of the SIP TOS and other Shopee Policies, of which this SIP TOS forms a part, by your continued participation in the Program. This SIP TOS supplement the Terms of Service and the other Shopee Policies – please read the Terms of Service and the other Shopee Policies available on the SG Site and Overseas Sites as they contain important information regarding your rights and obligations. Any terms used in this SIP TOS that are not defined here will have the meanings given to such terms in the Terms of Service and/or the applicable Shopee Policies. All terms and conditions described in this SIP TOS are subject to change at Shopee’s discretion pursuant to the Terms of Service. 

1.2 Shopee reserves the right to change, modify, suspend or discontinue all or any part of this Program at any time or upon notice as required by local laws. Shopee may release certain services of the Program or their features in a beta version, which may not work correctly or in the same way the final version may work, and we shall not be held liable in such instances. Shopee may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts of, or the entire, Program in its sole discretion and without notice or liability.

1.3 If you wish to withdraw from the Program, you are required to submit the offboarding form here. Once we have received your form, we will proceed to remove your listings from the Overseas Sites. Please note that it may take up to 10 days for all your listings to be removed from the Overseas Sites and you are required to continue to fulfill any orders made during this period.

1.4 In the event of any discrepancies between the terms in the Shopee Policies and this SIP TOS, this SIP TOS shall continue to apply.

2. Dual-listing of items on SG Site and Overseas Sites

2.1 By participating in the Program, Seller authorizes Shopee to enable your shop and items to be listed for sale on your behalf on the Overseas Sites (“Overseas Shop”). The services provided by Shopee shall include creating, maintaining and removing listings, chat services, inventory services, reporting services and collection and remittance of sale proceeds (“Services”).

2.2 You will decide the category and quantity of items for sale in your SG Shop. As part of the Program, all items listed by you on the SG Shop will be listed on the Overseas Shop by default, unless (i) otherwise limited by Shopee, (ii) the items are restricted in accordance with the laws of Singapore or the laws of the country where the Overseas Shop is published, or (iii) you request specific items to be excluded from the Overseas Sites.

2.3 The Overseas Shop shall offer the same products that Seller lists for sale on its SG Shop. The price of items listed in the Overseas Shop  shall be determined by the Seller and Shopee can adjust the price accordingly to incorporate logistics costs, import and customs duties and taxes, exchange rate fluctuations and conversion, costs of Overseas Site’s campaigns and programs, and fees related to the Services, in the local currency of the Overseas Sites (“Overseas Listing Price”). The price of items listed in the SG Shop (“SG Listing Price”) shall continue to be determined by the Seller, at its sole discretion.

2.4 You agree that each sale through the Program will only be consummated, and title and risk to the purchased item will only be transferred to the overseas Buyer, at the time the overseas Buyer has received the item without any claims/disputes in accordance with the Shopee Guarantee. For the avoidance of doubt, Shopee shall not take title, or bear any inventory risk, of any goods sold through the Program at any time whatsoever.

3. Sale of items on Overseas Sites

3.1 Upon the sale of an item under this Program on the Overseas Sites:

a) Seller shall, at its sole cost, arrange to have the purchased item delivered to an address notified by Shopee, including but not limited to preparing and arranging for the purchased item to be shipped to the relevant warehouse designated by Shopee;  
    

b) Shopee shall collect the Overseas Listing Price from the overseas Buyer in the local currency; and

c) Shopee shall remit only the Overseas Listing Price to the Seller in Singapore Dollar (less any Shopee commission fees, transaction fees and any other applicable deductions and taxes). Save for the aforesaid, the Seller shall not be entitled to any other sum pursuant to the sale of an item under this Program. 

3.2 The order shall be subject to reasonable inspection by Shopee and Shopee may reject any products that are defective, not in accordance with the requirements under the order, are reasonably believed to be counterfeit, are prohibited items, are deemed as dangerous, are different from the listed item purchased by the overseas Buyer, where the parcels are damaged, empty and/or exceed the dimension and/or weight limits determined by third party logistics providers and/or other conditions and requirements determined by third party logistics providers, where the Seller is involved in suspicious activities, where the Seller is a drop shipper, or where the Seller is otherwise in breach of the Terms of Service or Shopee Policies (“Rejected Items”). Shopee has the right to seek refund from the Seller and may return Rejected Items to the Seller (the cost of such return shall be borne by the Seller, if determined by Shopee), and, where Shopee has already remitted net proceeds to Seller for the item, Shopee shall deduct the SG Listing Price and the cost to ship the Rejected Item back to Seller from Seller’s Seller Balance.  

3.3 Seller acknowledges and agrees that Shopee merely acts on behalf of Seller in arranging for the delivery of the products to the overseas Buyer. As such, Seller shall provide the accurate weight of each item delivered to Shopee under this Program and ensure that the packaging and delivery of the product complies with applicable laws.           

3.4 Before shipment, you shall properly package the item in accordance with the packing standards specified on the SG Site.
