For the avoidance of doubt, each Online Transaction (as defined below in clause 1.5) is made by and between you and a third-party seller only and AliExpress.com shall not be considered as a party to such Online Transaction, nor shall AliExpress.com be deemed to represent you or the seller in such Online Transaction.
As you are acting as an EU/EEA/UK consumer, please note that to the extent mandatory statutory consumer protection regulations in your country of residence within the EU/EEA/UK contain provisions that are more beneficial for you (such as, as the case may be, withdrawal and conformity guarantee statutory rights), such provisions shall apply. More information on statutory rights for EU consumers can be found here.

2. Terms for specific Online Transactions
2.1. Refusal or Cancellation of Online Transactions. AliExpress.com reserves the right to suspend to clarify and subsequently or directly refuse/reject or cancel any Online Transaction which we, acting reasonably, determine to be in breach of this Contract (including the related documents referred to in clause 1.4 above), or impose penalties or restrictions, for any relevant reason, including compliance with consumers' protection, e-commerce, fraud, cybersecurity or intellectual and industrial property rights regulations or at the request of the competent authorities, without any liability for any losses or damages arising out of or in connection with such refusal or cancellation. ANY restriction to your use of the Sites will be notified to you via your buyer Message Center.
The assessment on the breach of this Contract will be conducted internally, by affected departments of AliExpress.com, including Platform Governance, Risk control and/or Customer Service teams. In particular, AliExpress may suspend your access to the Service for a reasonable period of time and after issuing a prior warning if You frequently provide manifestly illegal content. In such cases, and where the relevant electronic contact details are known to AliExpress, AliExpress will inform you with a statement of reasons and the possibilities for redress.
Please refer to Clause 5.3. ‘Breaches’ for the list of potential restrictions AliExpress may apply to your use of the Sites and the means AliExpress uses to moderate content on our Sites.
Some situations that may result in an Online Transaction being rejected or canceled include, without limitation, those where problems are identified by our credit and fraud control department, where AliExpress.com has reason to believe the Online Transaction is unauthorized, violates any law, rule or regulations or may otherwise subject AliExpress.com or any of our affiliates to liability.
Before authorizing the relevant Online Transaction to proceed and charge the buyer, or before carrying out the final decision on the refusal/rejection or cancellation of the Online Transaction, as the case may be, AliExpress.com may also require additional verifications or information for any Online Transaction, and you agree to provide such verifications and information to AliExpress.com upon request. Failure to submit these verifications and information when requested may result in the Online Transaction failing, in which case AliExpress.com is not responsible for such failure. For the avoidance of doubt, if AliExpress.com finally determines that such refused or cancelled Online Transaction was not in breach of this Contract, we will make the proper arrangements for such Online Transaction to be completed or reimbursed, depending on the circumstances of the transaction. AliExpress.com will not be liable for any losses or damages arising out of or in connection with the refusal or cancellation of the relevant Online Transaction and is allowed to make a determination on any dispute between you and the seller, including the remittance of the funds under an Online Transaction that are held by Alipay (as defined in clause 2.2 below) as instructed by AliExpress.com in accordance with this Contract and the Alipay Services Agreement.
2.2. Alipay Services and AliExpress.com Supplemental Services.
(i) AliExpress.com may, through Alipay, provide certain services for certain Online Transactions ("Alipay Services"). The Alipay Services are provided to EU/EEA/UK users by Alipay (Europe) Limited S.A. and/or its affiliates (collectively, "Alipay") to receive payment of funds in support of Sites for the Online Transactions. The Alipay Services are provided in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Alipay Services Agreement.
(ii) AliExpress.com may, through its affiliates, provide certain services for certain Online Transactions ("AliExpress.com Supplemental Services"). The AliExpress.com Supplemental Services are provided by AliExpress.com to receive payment of funds in support of Sites for the Online Transactions. The AliExpress.com Supplemental Services are provided in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the AliExpress.com Supplemental Services Agreement.
2.3. Buyer Protection Plan. Without prejudice to your EU/EEA/UK statutory rights, AliExpress.com may also provide buyers a protection plan for certain Online Transactions ("Buyer Protection Plan"). You can click here if you want to have additional information about our buyer protection plan.
Your main EU/EEA/UK statutory rights include, among others, (i) withdrawal rights within 14 days; (ii) a minimum 2-year legal conformity guarantee right; and (iii) the right to terminate the contract if the seller fails to deliver the goods within the additional period of time appropriate to the circumstances after the initial delivery term. More information on statutory rights for EU consumers can be found at https://sale.aliexpress.com/__mobile/QnoLFBVfqY.htm.
You acknowledge and agree that the protection afforded to you under the buyer protection plan applies to those Online Transactions where the seller subscribed to such plan and the purchase falls within the buyer protection plan's scope, and that (i) Alipay Services under clause 3.4 of the Alipay Services Agreement and (ii) AliExpress.com Supplemental Services under clause 3.4 of the AliExpress.com Supplemental Services Agreement will not be applicable to you for such Online Transactions if seller subscribed to buyer protection plan and such plan already covers your purchase. The guarantee service will be performed, revised, suspended and/or terminated according to the agreement reached between the guarantee service provider and the seller. For the avoidance of doubt, any revision, suspension and/or termination of the EU/EEA/UK Buyer Protection Plan will not affect Online Transactions that have already taken place or that have been placed but are not yet completed at the time of the revision, suspension and/or termination of the Buyer Protection Plan.
