The total Revenue Balance shall be paid out to the User, if there are no indications of "fake traffic," as defined below. If the Revenue Balance is not redeemed by the User within twelve (12) months after being generated, then the Revenue Balance shall expire and is no longer credited to the User Account.

Un-issued earnings less than $100 or earnings undeliverable because of incomplete or inaccurate account data will expire after a period of 12 months and will be deleted. Epik reserves the right to reject payment requests to unconfirmed accounts.
