In addition, Developer must implement the Discord Store SDK in a manner that is safe and secure for the Discord Store Account Owner.  Discord may, but shall not be obligated to, correct any security vulnerabilities in Developer’s implementation of the Discord Store SDK and Developer shall provide assistance with such corrections as requested by Discord.  If Discord cannot reasonably correct any such vulnerabilities, or Discord determines that Developer should correct them, Developer shall correct such vulnerabilities.

Each Monthly Report will contain activity for the current month as well as any Net Revenue adjustments for prior months reported by payment processors in the current month. Unless mutually agreed by Discord and Developer in a separate written agreement executed by both parties, Discord will pay to Developer ninety percent (90%) of the Net Revenue on the Monthly Report (the “License Fees”) within thirty (30) days after the Monthly Report is published, in no event later than sixty (60) days from the end of the of the calendar month covered by the Monthly Report.

All of the Apps and App-Related Content shall be marketed by Discord, on behalf of Developer, to Discord Store Account Owners at the prices established by Developer. Developer may change the price for any Apps or App-Related Content at any time, at Developer’s discretion, upon notice to Discord. As agent or commissionaire for Developer, Discord shall be solely responsible for the collection of all prices payable by Discord Store Account Owners for Apps acquired by those Discord Store Account Owners.

6.2 **Taxes.** In the event that any remittance made by Discord to Developer is subject to any VAT, the full amount of such VAT shall be solely for the account of Developer, and will not reduce Discord's fee amount to which Discord is entitled on such transaction. To the extent required under applicable law, Discord will deduct the full amount of such VAT from the amount owed to Developer, and will pay the full amount withheld to the competent tax authorities. Discord will use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain, and to furnish to Developer, copies of official tax receipts or similar evidence of payment, confirming payment of such VAT to the competent tax authorities. Developer will indemnify and hold Discord harmless against any and all claims by any competent tax authorities for any underpayment of any VAT, and any penalties and/or interest thereon, including, but not limited to, underpayments attributable to any erroneous claim or representation by Developer as to its entitlement to, or any disqualification of Developer for, the benefit of a reduced rate of withholding tax..

6.3 **Minimum Monthly Payment and Negative Amounts.** In the event amounts due to Developer for a given month do not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100), Discord may elect to not remit payment for that month, and may instead accumulate payments due until they exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100) as of the end of a future monthly payment cycle. Also, to the extent that the payment calculation in a Monthly Report results in a negative amount, that negative amount will be carried forward and deducted from any future amounts otherwise payable to Developer by Discord under this Agreement.

6.4 **Multi-Platform Apps.** To the extent that Developer has submitted to Discord Store versions of an App for multiple operating systems (for example, a Mac version, and a Windows version) such versions shall be sold together as a single "hybrid" App unit on Discord Store. Accordingly, a Mac version of any App, a Windows version of an App, and a Linux version of an App shall not be considered separate sales when calculating the payments due to Developer hereunder.

In the event that a Sunset Process has not been agreed upon within such 30-day period, or the Sunset Process requires that this Agreement remain fully in force for longer than such 30-day period, this Agreement will not terminate until the completion of the Sunset Process.. In addition, Discord may terminate this Agreement immediately at any time upon written notice to Developer in the event that Discord (a) determines in its discretion that any or all Apps are not suitable for distribution via the Discord Store or (b) ceases to operate the Discord Store or the self-service portion of the Discord Store.
