Wayaya shall timely remit any deducted Taxes to the relevant government authority and shall provide Influencer with documentary evidence of such remittance acceptable to Influencer.   

(c) Each Party shall be responsible for the payment of its own Taxes arising from this Terms of Service as required under Applicable Law in the relevant tax jurisdictions.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld and deducted pursuant to this Clause, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Terms of Service as having been paid to such authority in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made and Wayaya shall have no further obligation to pay the equivalent of such withheld amounts, or any part thereof, to Influencer. Wayaya will furnish to Influencer copies of receipts or other government certifications evidencing all Taxes withheld from such payment promptly after such receipts are available. The Parties shall cooperate and endeavour to comply with all applicable documentation and registration requirements so as to minimize the amount of withholding Tax imposed, if any. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, Influencer shall provide Wayaya with a valid Certificate of Residence or equivalent document issued by the relevant authority certifying the country in which Influencer is a tax resident within a reasonable time upon Wayaya’s request, failing which Wayaya is entitled to deduct and withhold the full amount of any Taxes it deems necessary to be deducted and withheld from any payment.
