2. SALE OF GOODS #
2.1. Conclusion of deals between the Seller and the Client #
The Seller and the Client enter into a sales transaction based on the Terms of sale of goods for Individuals (including the section “Terms of sale of goods with delivery from abroad”).

2.4. Product discounts. Points for discounts #
The Seller instructs Ozon to provide a discount on the Product for its promotion on the Website on behalf and at the expense of the Seller with the subsequent accrual of Points for discounts (hereinafter referred to as “Points”).
As part of such instruction, the Seller connects to the mechanics of calculations with Points, and Ozon accrues Points, which the Seller uses to receive a discount on the Fee (in the amount of accrued Points). In this case, the Fee is calculated based on the Product price without taking into account discounts provided in accordance with this paragraph.
Points shall be used for the same reporting period in which they were awarded and cannot be used in other reporting periods.
The Seller is connected to the mechanics of calculations using Points from the moment the Contract is concluded and has the right to refuse participation by sending a request to the Personal Account and Ozon disables Points calculations for discounts within 3 business days from the date of receipt of the request.

When returning products, Ozon reduces the number of Points accrued in the reporting period of return by the Points that were awarded to the Seller for these products. If the number of Points for a returned Product exceeds the number of Points accrued in the reporting period, Ozon shall invoice the Seller with a fee for overspending Points at the rate of 1 Point = 1 unit of the Seller’s contract currency.
If, after using Points for a discount on the Ozon Fee, the Seller has a balance of unused Points, Ozon pays the Seller a bonus for providing a discount as part of Points settlement in the equivalent of 1 point = 1 unit of the Seller’s contract currency. This bonus does not change the cost of services provided.
Information about accrued and used Points is available to the Seller in the Personal Account. The final calculation of Points due to the Seller is carried out at the end of the reporting period. Other information in the Personal Account regarding the accrual, write-off and use of Points is preliminary and is provided for informational purposes only.
Discounts provided by Ozon since the entry into force of clause 2.5 “Item or cart discount” of the Contract, subject to subsequent amendments and additions, shall reduce the Fee in the amount of the discount provided.
