- In accordance with the rules and provisions of this usage agreement, M5AZN may provide some strategic or logistical services through third-party providers. These services may include, but are not limited to, shipping companies and product delivery services.
- M5AZN provides these strategic or logistical services as a facilitation to assist M5AZN platform users.

Article 31- Shipping & Handling Charges:
The shipping policy for M5AZN within the United Arab Emirates is as follows:
- The shipping cost is calculated based on the weight of the order:
- If the order weighs 1 kilogram or less, the shipping cost will be 25 AED (excluding tax).
- For each additional kilogram after the first 1 kilogram, an additional 5 AED will be added to the base shipping cost.
- A 5% tax will be applied to the final shipping cost.
- Example:
- If the weight of the order is 2 kilograms, the shipping cost will be calculated as follows:
- 1 kilogram at a cost of 25 AED (excluding tax).
- 1 additional kilogram will add 5 AED.
- The total shipping cost will be 25 AED + 5 AED = 30 AED (+ 5% VAT) = 31.5 AED.
