Subject to this Section and Section "Termination, suspension" of the Terms, you will receive a payment related to the number of valid views on Advertising displayed on your streaming window, the number of valid impressions of Ads displayed on your Properties, or other valid events performed in connection with the display of Ads on your Properties, only if and when Uplify determines that your Properties have remained in compliance with the Terms for the entirety of the period for which payment is made and through to the date that the payment is issued.

If your Account is in good standing through to the time when Uplify issues you a payment, we will pay you by request following 14 days upon such request based on the balance reflected in your Account. If Uplify is investigating your compliance with the Terms or you have been suspended or terminated, your payment may be delayed or withheld. To ensure proper payment, you are responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information in your Account.

Payments will be calculated solely based on Uplify's accounting. All the amounts accrued and due to payment are available in your personal account on the Platform. By acceptance of these Terms you agree on the indisputability of the amounts due to payment. You also agree that the payment is calculated under the rates as previously agreed with You.
