Each Party should, as required under applicable laws and regulations, bear, file and pay all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that Party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments contemplated under this Agreement. All payments to be made by you to us under this Agreement shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim, withholding or deduction, be it tax-related or otherwise, unless specifically required by any applicable laws and/or regulations.

In particular, you shall be responsible for obtaining a tax clearance certificate from appropriate governmental tax authorities and provide it to us within 60 days after such taxes shall become due and payable. If in any case, you cannot conduct the tax withholding or deduction under your local circumstances, you should make full amount payment per the bill or invoice, and we will perform tax filing pursuant to local tax rules and regulations. If, subsequent to the entering into, and during the course of the performance of, this Agreement, any rates of Taxes are increased or decreased, a new Tax is levied, an existing Tax is abolished, or any change in the interpretation or application of any Tax is adopted (collectively the “Tax Changes”), an equitable adjustment of the Agreement Price shall be made, taking into full account of the Tax Changes, to protect us from the detrimental impact thereof, if any. Any additional tax, penalty, interest occurred from your delay or omission of above mentioned tax responsibilities should be borne by you.
