5.2 The calculation of Commission due to the Publisher is performed by the Company, and is based on the commission received by the Company from Merchants and Affiliate Networks the Company works with. The Publisher acknowledges different Merchants use different commission structures, with some using fixed amounts per Sale or referral, while others use percentage based methods; and may perform deduplication across marketing channels, so may not reward a Commission if another type of referral was performed more recently. Although the Company will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to engage reputable Merchants and Affiliate Networks, the Company is not responsible for the accuracy of the Sales and amounts reported by them.
5.3 Where Merchants participate in more than one affiliate program and both or all affiliate programs are Affiliate Networks participating in the Service, the Company in its sole discretion shall attribute the Commission to the Affiliate Network or Merchant deemed best in its sole judgment.

In the event the Company is required by a governmental taxing authority to withhold any amount due to Publisher and pay such amount directly to the authority for the account of Publisher, the Company shall do so and thereby be relieved from the obligation to pay such amount directly to Publisher provided that the Company furnishes Publisher with an official receipt of the authority.
