5. Prices

   1. Xiaomi’s sales prices for products are indicated in the currency displayed on the Sites and include all duties, taxes, and other mandatory or legal charges that apply to the Seller’s sales, including GST and VAT (if applicable).

   2. All prices and information on the Sites are intended to be accurate and complete. However, pricing and other errors may occur in certain situations. Buyers are not entitled to rely on a price that is obviously or materially lower than the current retail price for that product. In the event that the Seller’s published price for a product is obviously or materially lower than the prevailing retail price due to a pricing error, the Seller is under no obligation to sell at that price and has the right to cancel the underlying contract with the Buyers before shipment and delivery.

   3. Unless otherwise stated on the Sites and during the ordering process, the Seller’s delivery and administration costs are included in the final price payable for the Products. Any charges or fees added to the price of the Product will be visible to the Buyers during the ordering process and before the Buyers place a binding order.

   4. The shipping costs of the products are specified on the shipping costs page of the Sites and/or during the ordering process.

   5. Payment can only be made by credit or debit card or any other payment method offered on the Sites. Payment is charged in the currency shown, and the Seller is not responsible for any discrepancies due to currency or exchange rates. Any refund to the Buyers will be made to the payment method used when placing the order, in the currency initially displayed on the Site.

6. Ordering

   1. When Buyers place an order on the Sites, the system automatically generates order information data based on the details provided by the Buyers. A contractual relationship is deemed to be established between the Buyers and the Seller only after the receipt of an email confirmation from the Seller, confirming the completion of payment via the Sites. Only those products confirmed in the Seller’s email will form part of the contract and will be delivered to the Buyer.

   2. Each Contract must be paid for in advance of delivery via the Sites. Products will only be shipped after the Seller has verified the payment. The required advance payment by the Buyers for the purchase of products in a timely, full, and legal manner forms part of the contract offer.

   3. The Buyers are solely liable for payment of any fees charged by their bank, card company, or other providers of their selected payment option. The Buyers understand and agree that the Seller implements the method of payment before delivery. The required payment made by the Buyers for the purchase of products in a timely, full, and legal manner forms part of the contract offer sent to the Seller and is also the premise for the Seller to deliver the products to the Buyer. If the Buyers fail to complete the payment in a reasonable manner or at the specified time, the Seller reserves the right to cancel the order.

7. Performance of Contract

   1. The Buyers’ order and Contract will be processed and performed when the Seller has received the Buyers’ payment and confirmed stock availability.

   2. As the Seller focuses on business towards end consumers, the Seller will act only at the retail level and may limit the number of products that one Buyer can purchase. Buyers are not allowed to purchase products on the Sites for the purpose of resale. If the Seller finds that a Buyer has records of reselling products purchased from the Sites, the Seller reserves the right to disallow this Buyer from purchasing products on the Sites and/or permanently close this Buyer’s account and prohibit the Buyer from re-registering an account. This prohibition of resale also applies to products purchased by the Buyer on behalf of a unit via the government and enterprise group purchase method on the Sites. The liability and loss caused by the Buyer’s sale or resale of products on the Sites shall be borne by the Buyer.

   3. If the Seller publishes a limited quantity of certain products on the Sites, and if a Buyer plans to purchase more than the limited quantity of the Products, the Buyer may contact the Seller. The Seller reserves the right to cancel the order that the Buyer has submitted for more than the limited quantity. This limited quantity may apply to several individual Buyer accounts under certain situations. For instance, if a Buyer places orders through multiple accounts within a certain period of time, the number of cumulative single orders cannot exceed the limit quantity of the products, provided that the Seller determines that the actual purchaser of such single orders is one and the same person or is closely related to another Buyer by the delivery address, the IP address of the order, the contact number, receiver, and other information. In such circumstances, if the total purchase quantity of the multiple orders exceeds the limit quantity of the products, the Seller has the right to cancel the relevant orders. The Seller has the right to decide whether to close the Buyer’s account based on such a situation and whether to prohibit the Buyer from re-registering a Buyer’s Mi Account within a certain period of time.

   4. The Seller will make every effort to meet the Buyers’ demands, avoiding situations where the products the Buyers purchase are out of stock. Due to technical obstacles and various factors that are difficult to control and avoid, the Seller cannot guarantee that all requested products in the order the Buyers submitted will be in stock. The Seller will make best efforts to mark those out-of-stock Products. If the products the Buyers ordered are out of stock, both the Buyers and the Seller shall have the right to cancel the order, and if the Buyers have already paid, the payment will be refunded to the Buyer.

   5. Subject to the term of delivery and its agreement with Xiaomi’s authorized delivery partner, the Seller will send the products that the Buyers purchase to the Buyers’ designated delivery address through a logistics company (except for areas out of the delivery range) provided in the shipping address field at the time of placing the order by the Buyer. The Seller cannot be held responsible for any adverse damage or other consequences resulting from the receiver’s behaviours. If signature and confirmation are required, the Buyer or receiver shall sign for the receipt of products or otherwise.

   6. Buyers shall accurately fill in their name, receiver’s name (if applicable), delivery address, contact information, and other necessary information required by the Seller. The purchased products will be delivered to the specified delivery address. Any loss caused by the Buyers’ change of contact person or related delivery information shall be at the Buyers’ own risk. Xiaomi shall not be responsible for any delay caused by incorrect shipping address entered at the time of placing the order or incorrectness of information given by the Buyer such as address or whatsoever. If the order is delayed or fails to be delivered due to the following circumstances, the Seller shall not bear the responsibilities, consequences, or costs and reserves the right to cancel the order unilaterally:

      1. The delivery address, contact information, etc. are incorrect, non-existent, or not detailed enough.

      2. The delivery person contacts the receiver through the reserved receiving mobile phone number twice, but is unable to connect or receives no answer.

      3. Repeated delivery of the products due to absence.

      4. Force majeure, such as natural disasters, traffic, strikes, riots, government actions, sudden wars, etc.

   7. The content, price, quantity, and availability of the Product/service on the Sites may change at any time without prior/special notice. However, the Seller will make best efforts to inform Buyers where necessary or possible.

   8. In case the order has been cancelled by the Seller’s decision, the benefit (excluding cash value) of a discount coupon in possession of the Buyers before the order may be credited back to the Buyers’ account, upon Buyers’ request. Special terms for certain coupons may be applicable and shall prevail. If the order is cancelled for any reason, the shipping code (F Code) used for the purchase of the Products is invalid and may not be used again.

   9. The Seller reserves the right to limit whole or part of Buyers’ rights in exceptional situations, cancel related unfulfilled orders, or cancel Buyers’ Mi Account if Buyers are involved in any of the following actions:

      1. Buyers affect the normal operation of the Sites or the services provided by the Sites to other users, such as online attacks and mass advertisements.

      2. Buyers repeatedly publish information not related to the sold products or services in the comment area or consultation area.

      3. Buyers seek benefits by improper means (such as plug-in tools, network attacks, etc.).

      4. Buyers reject the products multiple times or refuse to accept products without objective reasons.

      5. Buyers engage in claiming or reselling products through account shopping (such as wholesale, retail).

      6. The order information Buyers provide (including but not limited to name, phone number, ID number, email address, etc.) is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete.

      7. Buyers affect the normal operating order of the Sites or conduct illegal activities.

   10. If Buyers’ Mi Account is terminated, for the open orders generated during the validity period of the account, Xiaomi may notify Buyers to decide whether to close the open orders or to proceed to the delivery. Once Buyers’ Mi Account is terminated, Buyers’ right to use the services on the Sites shall be terminated as well. The Seller shall not be liable to Buyers for terminating this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the TOU, including terminating Buyers’ account and deleting Buyers’ content on the Sites.
