If Baidu determines that the media has engaged in actions that violate national laws and regulations, policy provisions, industry practices, mutual agreements, “Alliance Business Cooperation Standards,” or hinder Baidu from achieving the contract objectives and infringe upon the interests of Baidu, Xxxxx has the right to determine such actions as cheating. The media agrees to be determined and handled according to Xxxxx’s anti-cheating mechanism, including but not limited to account suspension, deduction of promotional income, and termination of cooperation for severe cases. Baidu will take all applicable civil or criminal remedies against fraud or other breach of contract. The anti-cheating determination is based on Baidu’s statistics and data.

3.9 For the collaboration under this contract, Baidu may decide on its own to have its affiliated enterprises fulfill all or part of its obligations under this contract on behalf of Baidu, and this shall not be considered a breach by Xxxxx. Baidu’s affiliated enterprises refer to any individuals, partnerships, organizations, or entities related to Baidu in any way that directly or indirectly (through one or more intermediaries or contractual arrangements) control Baidu or are controlled by Baidu, or jointly controlled with Baidu. “Control” refers to the rights acquired through ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the absolute majority of equity, or ownership of less than fifty percent (50%) but still constitutes a relative majority of the equity, or through agreements, or through non-contractual means such as appointing directors, enabling dominant control or influencing others to dominate a party.

Unless otherwise specified in this contract, each party shall bear the expenses incurred for the collaboration, such as development costs, themselves. The settlement method for promotional revenue in the Baidu Integrated Screen promotion service collaboration is as follows:
A. API Collaboration: The actual revenue generated through media’s collaboration via API will be settled based on various factors such as the quality of the media’s application content, nature of traffic, value to Baidu, collaboration form, and collaboration duration. The actual revenue will be settled based on the data published in the Baidu Integrated Screen backend. If the media has objections to Xxxxx’s promotional revenue policy, they can choose to terminate this contract. If the media continues to enjoy promotional revenue, it is considered that the media agrees to Xxxxx’s settlement policy. The media shall bear the applicable tax on the promotional revenue they receive.
B. Settlement Price/Settlement Ratio: The settlement price or settlement ratio should be chosen by the media based on the billing model confirmed by the system. If the media does not make a selection in the system, the settlement price or settlement ratio shall be agreed upon through a separate supplementary agreement with Baidu.

5.3 Payment of Advertising Revenue:
Financial settlement is conducted once a month: If the media has any objections regarding the advertising revenue, it should be submitted to Baidu in writing within 3 days of receiving the statistical data from Baidu.

If there are no objections to the statistical data, the media must provide the value-added tax special invoice for the previous month’s advertising revenue within the first 5 working days of each month. Upon receiving the invoice, Xxxxx will pay the media for the previous month’s advertising revenue by the 30th of each month (extended in case of public holidays) based on the ratio specified in Section 5.1 of this contract.
