The Advertising Platform may charge any applicable national, state, or local sales or use taxes or value added taxes that the Advertising Platform is legally obligated to charge under Applicable Law. In the event that any amount payable by the Advertiser is subject to deduction or withholding taxes, including value added taxes, the payable amount shall be increased such that the amount received by the Advertising Platform equals the Fees owed plus the applicable tax. Any and all bank commissions or other financial transaction fees are not included in the Fees and shall be borne in full by the Advertiser. Whenever the Advertising Platform finds that a lesser or a bigger amount than the correct amount of payment has been made by the Advertiser, the Advertising Platform may adjust any subsequent invoice to cure the error. The Advertising Platform shall have a right to withhold and offset any payments owed under the Agreement against any current or future sums the Advertiser owns to the Advertising Platform under present or any other present or future agreement.

Reporting
The Advertising Platform agrees to provide the Advertiser or the Site’s user access to the ADCOVERY Dashboard to access reports and to carry out other functions provided by the dashboard contingent upon the Advertiser’s or the Site’s user’s adherence to these TOS, the Agreement and any applicable Insertion Order(s).
