If the Advertiser disputes any charge made under this Agreement, the Advertiser must notify Nurdle in writing within sixty (60) days after any such charge; failure to so notify Nurdle shall result in the waiver by the Advertiser of any claim relating to any such disputed charge. Charges shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by Nurdle. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by Nurdle or have any effect under this Agreement.

4.2. Fees: The Advertiser agrees to pay all applicable charges under this Agreement, including any applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity.
