For the avoidance of doubt, Alipay is not obligated to pay interest on such retained amounts.

h) Settlement by Period. If the Company selects the “Settlement by Period” option, Alipay will initiate the remittance of the Net Settlement Amount in the selected Settlement Currency to the Company’s designated bank account (as notified to Alipay in writing) within two (2) Working Days from the last day of each relevant Settlement Period provided that the amount of the relevant Settlement Funds reaches the Settlement Threshold.  Where the Settlement Amount is less than the Settlement Threshold, the Net Settlement Amount shall be retained until the aggregate total Net Settlement Amount due to the Company totals USD 100 (or its equivalent amount in the relevant Settlement Currency).  For the avoidance of doubt, Alipay is not obligated to pay interest on such retained amounts.
