All terms and conditions established in this agreement are accepted at the time you register your account. AdBux reserves the right to update this agreement without prior notification to its members. When changes are made to the Terms of Service, a notification will be provided via email, the AdBux Blog, or on the AdBux homepage.

Do not attempt to create more than one account or your account(s) will be terminated. If you have forgotten your user information, you can use the “forgot password” form to request it. You may refer other people in your household but only ONE member per I.P. Address. You can refer an unlimited amount of people to join the program but you will only earn referral points from those that you DIRECTLY refer. You must have a valid e-mail address to register with our program. All e-mail addresses are verified and the system will not let you join without validation of your e-mail address. Any accounts that are determined to be inactive for a period longer than 10 days will have their current balance reset to 0. Inactivity is defined as not participating in any incentive for a period of 10 days. Report any suspected theft of your account and make sure to use a password that is entirely unique to AdBux. Point(s) Redemption Points are redeemed as long as they’ve met the pre-determined payment threshold set within their profile. The current point redemption method is AlertPay (only). Each user is responsible for verifying that all address and payment information is correct. If an AlertPay payment is unable to be successfully delivered, the member will be notified and given the option to correct the information. The payment will then be processed on the next payout cycle. Payouts are not, under any circumstances, considered owed to you until you reach the minimum redemption level. All accounts requesting point redemption are subject to audit review. AdBux Point Redemption Gateway AdBux Point Redemption Gateway is open for Redemption Requests when Point Value has reached the minimum. In addition, AdBux' Point Redemption Gateway is closed during AdBux Member Account Review audits. Payment requests are reviewed and audited in the order in which they are submitted. Redemption of points (in ALL cases) may be delayed for up to 30 working days, as per AdBux Audit Member Account Review procedures. AdBux (at its own discretion) may elect to send any AdBux user a corporate Point Redemption check in lieu of remitting payment via Alert Pay. It is the users responsibility to ensure that their contact information such as; name, address, city, state and/or country and/or zip or postal code are up to date. Returned Point Redemption checks will NOT be reissued (and or resent) until AdBux Security confirms the identity of such user (applicable only to AdBux users who are mailed a Point Remeption check and such check is returned).
