4. Payment; Factors Affecting Payment; Taxes and Withholding; Payment Disputes

A. Payment. Publisher will be paid based on the Payment Models (as defined herein) agreed on the IO. Validated results will be mailed to Publisher in U.S. Dollars (USD) within fifteen (15) days after the end of the month in which the results were generated. Payment shall be made on a counter-invoicing basis, and Publisher will be paid withing the Payment Terms agreed in the I.O.. In the event that the commission payable for a particular calendar month is less than $300, the amount earned will be paid by Paypal or will be rolled over to the next month and combined with that month's earnings until at least $500 is earned. Additionally, in the event Publisher has a past due advertising invoice with Onlyellow Unip., may off-set and apply any available earnings from the Publisher, if any, against the amount past due.

B. Factors Affecting Payment. Publisher acknowledges and agrees that Onlyellow Unip. will pay Publisher pursuant to these Terms and Conditions based on the mutual understanding that Onlyellow Unip. will be able to monetize the traffic through agreements with its upstream advertiser partners ("Advertisers") and that such agreements require that payment be made only upon appropriate traffic. As such, Publisher acknowledges and agrees that all traffic will be subject to review by Onlyellow Unip. If Onlyellow Unip. is unable to collect revenues from any such third party partners due to any failure of Publisher to comply with the restrictions of the offers or with these Terms and Conditions, any breach of Publisher's representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, the quality of the traffic which is being delivered or any other factor that would prevent Onlyellow Unip. from earning revenue, then commissions payable to Publisher hereunder shall be reduced accordingly. If the amount earned by Publisher hereunder is reduced to an amount less than the amount previously paid by Onlyellow Unip., then Publisher shall, upon invoice by Onlyellow Unip., immediately pay the difference to Onlyellow Unip.. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Publisher understands and agrees that in the event any payment is made by Onlyellow Unip. to Publisher and Onlyellow Unip.'s Advertiser subsequently denies payment to Publisher for clicks generated from that Publisher traffic, Onlyellow Unip. shall be entitled to repayment of any such amount whether through reduction of future payments to Publisher or Publisher's repayment to Onlyellow Unip. of any such commissions based on such clicks for which payment is denied. Further, Publisher agrees that Onlyellow Unip. may withhold payments (i) while clicks are being reviewed in its traffic quality process or (ii) if Onlyellow Unip. reasonably believes that such Onlyellow Unip. will not receive payment for such clicks from its Advertisers.

C. Taxes and Withholding. Publisher understands and agrees that taxes with respect to commissions or any other payments made by Onlyellow Unip. to Publisher hereunder will not be withheld or paid directly or indirectly by Onlyellow Unip. unless Onlyellow Unip. determines in its sole discretion that Onlyellow Unip. or its Publishers may be liable for any such taxes, in which case it shall withhold the estimated amount and notify Publisher of such withholding. Publisher understands and agrees that it is Publisher's responsibility to pay all applicable local and/or foreign taxes on commissions and other income received from Onlyellow Unip. pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. Publisher agrees to promptly reimburse and indemnify Onlyellow Unip. from any claim or assessment of taxes by any local, and/or foreign taxing authority, and any other costs and damages, arising from or in connection with the operation.

D. Payment Disputes. Publisher understands and agrees to address any questions Publisher may have with any payment of commissions under these provisions to Onlyellow Unip. within thirty (30) days of the date of such payment. Failure to notify Onlyellow Unip. within such period will constitute an acceptance of, and agreement with, the applicable payment.
