13.8 Inactivity. If your Publisher account is inactive for more than twelve (12) consecutive months, AFILL LTD reserves the right to debit your Publisher account balance in accordance with the schedule below to cover the cost of account maintenance until (a) you reactivate your account by generating a commissionable activity through a Qualifying Link associated with your account, or (b) your account balance is zero. If the balance in your inactive account is or becomes zero, AFILL LTD reserves the right close the account permanently and cease to maintain your account records and Publisher program access. The inactive account maintenance charge will not cause your account balance to become negative and will not cause you to owe money to AFILL LTD. Your Publisher account becomes “Inactive” when you have failed to generate commissionable activity through a Qualifying Link associated with your account for a period of 12 consecutive months.
Inactivity Fee Schedule:

(i) If your account balance is greater than 100 currency units, a monthly fee the lessor of (a) 50 currency units or (b)10% of the outstanding balance will be assessed;

(ii) If your account balance is less than 100 currency units, a monthly fee of 10 currency units will be assessed;

(iii) If your account balance is less than 10 currency units, a fee equivalent to the full balance in your account will be assessed.

A “currency unit” is the standard unit of monetary value used to calculate commissions in your account. For example, if you have selected to be paid in US Dollars in your account, then the applicable currency unit is US Dollars.

13.9. Right to Assess Fees. AFILL LTD may, at any time upon prior written notice to you as described below, commence charging or assessing fees in relation to any or all Offerings made available to you including your participation on the Network(s). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, in the event AFILL LTD elects to charge or assess fees, you will be notified at least fourteen (14) days in advance in writing by email or posting through the Network Publisher Account Area or via the email address provided in your account registration. You may elect not to pay any such fees by discontinuing your participation in all Offerings prior to the commencement of such fees.

AFILL LTD may withhold and offset any fees or other charges owing to AFILL LTD against any and all compensation and/or other fees that are then unpaid to you. Following assessment of any fees or other charges owing to AFILL LTD, and subject to AFILL LTD holding any amount it determines in its sole discretion to be needed to support any of your indemnification and/or other obligations and/or liabilities under this Agreement, AFILL LTD may refund any remaining monies to any of the Network Advertisers with which you had entered into an Engagement.
