2. Zhongtulian shall comply with provisions as prescribed by Changhe and PSP (Property service provider appointed to manage the Tower at which this Premise is housed), including but without limitation to Tenant Handbook and Decoration Works Manual (collectively the "Settlement Documents"). These Settlement Documents are constituted as integral part to this Contract. Without prejudice to Zhongtulian's business activity in ordinary course, PSP shall and may change these Settlement Documents at any time with view to the Tower, as the case may be. These Settlement Documents after the latest change shall thereby become a part integrated to this Contract and Zhongtulian shall otherwise be duly informed of these Settlement Documents after such change under written notice.
3. Rent, miscellaneous charges, payment terms
1. Zhongtulian has the duty to settle payables as identified in this Contract. These payables shall include but without limited to the Rent (charges payable to Changhe at Zhongtulian’s account to settle possession of this Premise for lease period), PMF (Property management fee) and Miscellaneous Charges (Collectively the "Payables").
Zhongtulian's failure to settle the Payables is constituted as Event of Default. This Event of Default and/or failure to have Changhe and PSP thereby compensated at financial loss that arises from the same Event of Default shall entitle Changhe / PSP (but not obligated) to deduct compensation sum at such financial loss from Security Deposit (defined hereinafter). After deduction, Zhongtulian shall suffice the Security Deposit 3 days since after deduction date; provided the part of Security Deposit to suffice is waivered from interest accrual. This Security Deposit after deduction of receivables due to Changhe/PSP is refundable at termination of this Contract 30 days only after Zhongtulian has fulfilled obligations as identified in the Contract (provided always the part of Security Deposit to refund is not accrued of bearing interest). Where this Premise is caused to renew taken valid as from expiry of the Lease Period (defined hereinafter), the balance of Security Deposit previously paid is accepted to become a part of deposit applicable to renewal period and refundable at excess sum or payable due from Zhongtulian at receivable sum.
2. The date at which Changhe/ PSP has receipt of non-cash payment for these Payables via transfer to specified account is constituted as settlement date (Settlement Date)and Zhongtulian is thereby deemed to have fulfilled payment duty.
Changhe/PSP may change opening bank and account; provided Zhongtulian shall be prior informed under a 10 business days notice in writing.
3. If the Settlement Date is an off day (non-business day), these Payables shall be made at the final business day preceding the non-business day.
4. Any tax that arises from this Contract shall be spilt to settle at each Party's account in accordance with legal statutes. After payment of the Rent, PMF and Miscellaneous Charges, Changhe/PSP (beneficiary) shall invoice at receivables, except the Security Deposit (receipt is issued against Security Deposit after receipt). Zhongtulian is aware and understands that Changhe/PSP is waivered from issue of deductible VAT invoice. In this case, Changhe/PSP is thereby reduced to the liability to have Zhongtulian compensated or indemnified against failure to issue the deductible VAT invoice.
