      [surprising/unexpected]

      It was very surprising to find out that material or ideas posted in Shopee can be used and managed by them even without the knowledge of the owner that it is being used. Since we blindly click "accept" to these terms and conditions, this means that we are also technically giving Shopee the right to use our data and information publicly which could be very terrifying. Most especially, this would also probably be surprising for the sellers who use this platform as their content can be publicly used by Shopee without due credit or permission.

    2. 18.4 For the purpose of promoting the sales of the items listed by Seller,Shopee may post such items (at adjusted price) on third-party websites(such as portal sites and price comparison sites) and other websites(domestic or foreign) operated by Shopee.

      [surprising/unexpected]

      We did not expect to find this provision in this contract since as a consumer, we believed that the prices posted with the products being sold were truthful and accurate. These items being advertised online are usually seen in our Facebook feed or Instagram stories. Thus, this section was very surprising because given this provision, we now know that some of these prices that we witness are tweaked and changed to make it more appealing, when in reality, it may not be the real price on the Shopee application.
