5. FEES AND TAXES.
5.1 Calculation.
Amat will deduct applicable fees (“Fees”) from Item Revenue remitted to Merchant as further described herein. Amat will remit to Merchant the total Retail Price collected for all Items Merchant sells via the App(s) (including any Sales Taxes collected on its behalf) less: (a) the applicable retained Fees; and (b) any refunds given to Customers for Substandard Items (such final remitted amount being “Item Revenue”). All Item Revenue that is duly owed to Merchant will be remitted within fourteen (14) business days of the sale of the Item. If required by applicable law or regulation, Amat may adjust the Fee. Such adjustments may require adjustments to remittances of Item Revenue owed to Merchant. Such adjustment may apply only to certain Items such as Alcohol Items. Amat will deduct the Fee from the payment Amat collects on Merchant’s behalf. Amat reserves the right to suspend Merchant’s ability to make Items available for purchase by Customers through the App(s) if Merchant’s account is in arrears. If you are paid for an Item, you are responsible for the Fee even if a Delivery Person is unable to complete the delivery of such Item. Except as expressly agreed in this Agreement, each party will be responsible for its expenses and costs during its performance under this Agreement. All Fees under this Agreement will be paid in Naira(₦)
5.2 Services Fee.
The Retail Price (as defined below) of all Items that Merchant sells via the App(s) (excluding any Sales Tax collected on Merchant’s behalf) multiplied by the applicable fee percentage for the Sales Channel used to sell each such Item (“Services Fee”). Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties or modified by requirement of applicable laws or regulations, the Fee shall be calculated as follows:
- i) DELIVERY: Amat will charge Merchant a fee percentage of 4.9% at the end of a day’s sale via the App(s) through Delivery Channel
- ii) PICK-UP: Amat will charge Merchant a fee percentage of 4.9% at the end of a day’s sale via the App(s) through the Pick-Up Sales Channel;
5.3 Order Processing Fee.
For the use of certain Services related to order processing and related expenses as identified by Amat, Amat may charge Merchant a Fee (the “Order Processing Fee”).

The Amat Now Services connect you with Customers who wish to purchase your Items. You are the “merchant”, “retailer”, or “seller” of all Items to be made available for sale via theApp(s). As such, you are responsible for determining and setting the retail price for each Item (the “Retail Price”). You are also responsible for the collection and remittance of all applicable Sales Taxes, where required under applicable law. The term “Sales Tax” includes any sales, sellers use, transaction privilege, privilege, general excise, gross receipts, food & beverage, and similar transaction taxes, as well as any bottle, bag, plastic, or other similar fees. For the sake of clarity, the Retail Price for each Item excludes separately stated Sales Taxes.

If reasonable, Amat may adjust the remittance of Item Revenue collected on Merchant’s behalf. Amat reserve the right to collect any amounts in connection with such adjustments via a deduction from the remittance of Item Revenue collected on Merchant’s behalf, by debiting the payment method or Merchant’s bank account on record, or otherwise seeking reimbursement from Merchant by any lawful collection methods available. Merchant authorizes Amat to use any or all of the above methods to seek such adjustments and reimbursements. In more serious situations, such as fraud (including any charges for Items that Customers did not place) or Customer complaints, Amat reserve the right to cancel a payment entirely. By agreeing to these terms, Merchant gives Amat express consent to adjust payments collected on Merchant’s behalf as set forth in this Section. Further, Merchant agrees that payment collected on its behalf by Amat will be considered the same as payment made directly to Merchant. Merchant agrees that if Merchant does not receive payment from Amat, Merchant’s only recourse will be against Amat.
5.8 Payment Compliance.
Amat may, from time to time, request information from Merchant to confirm Merchant’s identity as may be necessary under any applicable compliance obligations before remitting any amounts to Merchant. Amat may reduce or withhold amounts owed to Merchant if: 1) Merchant fails to provide tax or employer identification information to Amat and/or; 2) there is a legal or regulatory risk or potential breach of law or regulation associated with such remittance to Merchant.

For each such Co-Funded Promotion, the parties shall agree on a written Promotion Schedule setting forth: (1) a description of the Co-Funded Promotion; (2) the obligations of each party; and (3) any other details regarding the Co-Funded Promotion. For the sake of clarity, if Merchant is the owner of Location(s), such Co-Funded Promotion shall appear to the Customer as a Merchant Promotion, and Amat shall issue an adjustment to Merchant’s Item Revenue to account for the amount of the Promotion that Amat has agreed to fund.
- iii). Parties’ Obligations. The parties’ obligations for each Promotion will include the following, but may be expanded upon in an applicable Promotion Schedule:
-
1) Merchant’s Obligations. Merchant will:

- v) Out of App Marketing. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Promotion Schedule, Merchant may not market or otherwise advertise a Promotion outside the App(s). If a Promotion Schedule authorizes Merchant to market a Promotion out of the App(s), all such marketing materials will be subject to Amat’s prior review and written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Such adjustments may require adjustments to remittances of Item Revenue owed to Merchant. Such adjustment may apply only to certain Items such as Alcohol Items. Amat will deduct the Fee from the payment Amat collects on Merchant’s behalf. Amat reserves the right to suspend Merchant’s ability to make Items available for purchase by Customers through the App(s) if Merchant’s account is in arrears. If you are paid for an Item, you are responsible for the Fee even if a Delivery Person is unable to complete the delivery of such Item.

By agreeing to these terms, Merchant gives Amat express consent to adjust payments collected on Merchant’s behalf as set forth in this Section.
