In no event shall the Company be liable to make any Payments to You for any Fraudulent Ad Impressions and/or any other Ad Impressions rejected by the relevant Advertiser for any reason whatsoever. The Company’s obligations under these Terms do not involve or include investigating or resolving any claim or dispute involving You and any Advertiser or other third party.
15. Minimum Payment Threshold. Payments shall be made to You provided that You have accumulated at least thirty US dollars (US$ 30) (the “Minimum Payment Threshold”). You agree that if at any time You have not accumulated the Minimum Payment Threshold, then the amount due to You will continue to roll over until an amount equal to or greater than the Minimum Payment Threshold has been accrued.
16. No Payment in the Event of Fraud. Irrespective of the provisions in Sections 14 and 15, the Company shall not be responsible to make Payments to You where the Ad Impressions on any of Your Websites have been generated by means of using fraud or are in breach of these Terms.

Upon a good faith determination of fraud by the Company, You agree and acknowledge that You bear the burden of proving to the Company that You did not engage in fraud. If You fraudulently generate Ad Impressions or inflate Ad Impressions by fraudulent traffic generation, as determined solely by the Company, then You shall forfeit Your entire Payments for all Ads placed on Your Website(s) and such fraudulent Ad Impression generation shall constitute a material breach of these Terms and shall constitute grounds for the immediate termination of the Terms, without notice or opportunity to cure. If You are notified that fraudulent activities may be occurring and You fail to take prompt action to stop the fraudulent activities, then in addition to any other remedies available to the Company, You shall be responsible for all costs and legal fees arising from these fraudulent activities. Additionally, in the event that You have already received Payments based upon fraudulent activities, the Company reserves the right to seek credit or remedy from future earnings or to demand reimbursement from You.
