We may at any time regulate, control, and/or modify the exchange rate from time to time as we see fit in our sole discretion.

Revenue refers to payments directly generated by your UGC and actually received by Yahaha. Yahaha reserves its right to determine a different Revenue share methodology.

iii.  We will implement tools to track the source of Yahaha Virtual Currency in your Account. If you violate the Terms by trying to redeem Yahaha Virtual Currency in your Account which are not from the payments to your UGC, your license to use Yahaha Virtual Currency will be terminated by us immediately without prior notice.

iv.  Payments made under the Agreement shall be made without deduction or set-off for any withholding taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges and/or fees imposed by any governmental taxing authority except as required by law. If you are required to make any such deduction, you will pay to Yahaha such additional amounts as are necessary to ensure Yahaha’s receipt of the full amount that Yahaha would have received but for the deduction. You will be responsible for, and agree to promptly pay, all taxes or duties of any kind (including but not limited to sales, use and withholding taxes) associated with any payment or income from your use of the Services. In the event that Yahaha is required to collect any tax for which you are responsible, you will pay such tax directly to Yahaha or its payment processor. Yahaha reserves the right to collect any applicable sales, use or value added tax.
