3.3Publisher may request the removal of a specific Advertiser, Advertiser Offer, category or competitor from the Publisher Sites by written notice to Pulse. Pulse shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such request within 5 Business Days, provided that Pulse shall not be liable for any reduction in Revenue Share arising from such removal.
3.4Publisher acknowledges that category restrictions, blocked competitors, Placement Limits, approval requirements and removal requests may affect the availability of Advertiser Offers, the number of Placements displayed, redemptions and Revenue Share.
4.REVENUE SHARE AND STATEMENTS
4.1Subject to this Agreement, Pulse shall pay Publisher the Revenue Share for completed and verified redemptions attributed to Placements on the Publisher Sites.
4.2Revenue Share shall be calculated by applying the applicable percentage stated in the Order Form or Placement Schedule to the Net Redemption Revenue for the relevant reporting period.
4.3Pulse shall provide Publisher with a monthly statement setting out the Revenue Share payable for the relevant reporting period, together with reasonable supporting information which may include Placement-level impressions, redemptions and verified redemptions.
4.4Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, Pulse shall pay the Revenue Share monthly in arrears within 30 days after the end of the relevant monthly reconciliation period.
4.5Pulse shall not be required to pay Revenue Share in respect of any amount that Pulse has not received from the relevant Advertiser or Advertiser network.
4.6Any redemption which is reversed, refunded, cancelled, charged back, determined to be fraudulent, rejected by an Advertiser or Advertiser network, or otherwise invalid shall be excluded from Net Redemption Revenue. If Revenue Share has already been paid in respect of such redemption, Pulse may deduct or offset the corresponding amount from a future payment.
4.7Publisher acknowledges that where an Advertiser or advertiser network is responsible for tracking or validating a redemption, the tracking and validation records of that Advertiser or advertiser network shall apply, unless otherwise agreed in the applicable Placement Schedule.
4.8Publisher shall provide complete and accurate payout information. Pulse shall not be responsible for any delay or failed payment arising from Publisher's failure to provide or maintain accurate payout, tax or banking information.
4.9Publisher shall be responsible for all taxes payable by Publisher in connection with any Revenue Share received under this Agreement. Where Pulse is required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any tax from a payment to Publisher, Pulse may make such withholding or deduction and shall provide reasonable supporting documentation on request.

5.4Where any amount payable by Publisher is not paid in fully by the due date, Pulse may, without limiting its other rights, charge interest on such sums at 2.0% per annum (or up to the maximum rate permitted by law) on the monies which are due and payable until the date such monies are paid to Pulse.
5.5Each Party is responsible for, and shall account to the appropriate authorities for, all income tax liabilities and national insurance or similar contributions payable in respect of payments made to it. If any withholding on amounts payable under this Agreement is required by applicable law, the paying Party shall be entitled to deduct such withholding from the amount payable and pay the same to the relevant tax authority. The paying Party shall, upon request, provide the other Party with documentation to show that such withheld amounts have been paid to the relevant tax authorities.
