User is responsible for determining any other taxes assessed, incurred, or required to be collected, paid, or withheld for any reason for his use of the Services.

MicroPe will only be able to attempt to correct Transactions that User processes incorrectly if he/she notifies MicroPe of such an error before transaction getting processed from MicroPe's end. User's failure to notify MicroPe of a processing error forthwith will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to him.
