    3. INTRODUCTION OF NEW EPS eWALLET HOLDERS
      1. Upon successfull completion of the registration and verification process, the proposed client would become an EPS eWallet Holder which automatically enrolls them into the EPS's Affiliate Programme, unless EPS decides otherwise at any time and unless that person is under the age of 18, a resident or citizen of a country which is not eligible for EPS eWallets or EPS's Affiliate Programme or subject to another restriction displayed on the EPS Website.
      2. Upon such enrolment, the EPS Platform shall automatically generate one Affiliate Link. The Affiliate can change such Affiliate Link or create further Affiliate Links via its personal area on the EPS Platform at EPS's discretion.
      3. EPS will accept and keep registered prospective New EPS eWallet Holders at its discretion. EPS does not guarantee that the Affiliate will earn any Bonus Rewards.
      4. Subject as provided in this Agreement, the Affiliate will earn Bonus Rewards for each First Level New EPS eWallet Holder associated with the Affiliate's Affiliate Link, and for each Second Level New EPS eWallet Holder associated (by the First Level New EPS eWallet Holder's Affiliate Link) with the First Level New EPS eWallet Holder introduced by the Affiliate. If the Affiliate (or First Level EPS eWallet Holder) deletes, changes or damages its Affiliate Link:
        1. in the case of deletion, the Affiliate may nevertheless restore the Affiliate Link from the "bin" in its area of the EPS Platform within 30 days of the deletion, but no Bonus Rewards on introductions of New EPS eWallet Holders will accrue during the period when the Affiliate Link was in the deleted "bin" or if it was not restored after the deletion;
        2. no introductions of prospective or actual New EPS eWallet Holders will be associated with the Affiliate and the Affiliate will not receive any Bonus Rewards in respect of such New EPS eWallet Holders (but the Affiliate will continue to receive Bonus Rewards for all New EPS eWallet Holders associated with the Affiliate (or its associated First Level New EPS eWallet Holders) registered before the Affiliate Link was been deleted, changed or damaged.
      5. If EPS suspends, restricts or blocks the Affiliate from using the Affiliate's EPS eWallet in accordance with EPS agreement with the Affiliate for the provision of the EPS eWallet, then the Affiliate will also be blocked from participation in EPS's Affiliate Programme, including being able to create further Affiliate Links and receiving Bonus Rewards (including based on New EPS eWallet Holder Fees Value of New EPS eWallet Holders registered before the suspension, restriction or blockage took effect).
      6. The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that access to financial transactions in the EPS system is available only to a customer who has been accepted as having passed a verification and "Know Your Client" process according to the EPS rules and instructions. EPS cannot guarantee that verification will be passed successfully and hence cannot guarantee an access to the financial operations for a proposed First Level New EPS eWallet Holder or proposed Second Level New EPS eWallet Holder.
      7. EPS may suspend, withdraw or restrict the Affiliate's involvement in EPS's Affiliate Programme at any time with or without notice to the Affiliate:
        1. if the Affiliate has committed any breach of this Agreement (whether or not material);
        2. in any of the circumstances mentioned in Clause 10.4;

        4. if EPS considers that the Affiliate has introduced any prospective or enrolled New EPS eWallet Holder(s) who are not eligible to particulate in the Affiliate Programme as mentioned in Clause 3.1;
        5. if EPS considers that the Affiliate or any of the prospective or enrolled New EPS eWallet Holder(s) introduced by the Affiliate are engaged in unlawful transactions;
        6. In such event, EPS shall stop paying Reward Bonuses to the Affiliate for the period of the suspension or withdrawal. In addition, where the Affiliate has been involved in any fraudulent transactions, EPS shall be entitled to recover any Bonus Rewards made and/or related amounts paid into the Affiliate's EPS eWallet, before the date of termination, connected to the fraud, or of the amount of the fraud.

    4. BONUS REWARDS
      1. EPS shall add the Bonus Rewards to the Affiliate's Bonus Reward Wallet and then convert the value of the Bonus Rewards to the Affiliate's EPS eWallet in accordance with this Clause 4. Bonus Rewards arise only on EPS eWallet transactions made by the New EPS eWallet Holder and, if applicable, which otherwise arise, within a year after the New EPS eWallet Holder has been registered as such by EPS. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by EPS, Bonus Rewards will not arise on transactions or otherwise in relation to a New EPS eWallet Holder later than the expiry of a year from such registration. For example, where this Agreement commences on 1 January of year 1:
        1. If the Affiliate introduces a New EPS eWallet Holder on 1 January in year 1, then Bonus will arise only on the New EPS eWallet Holder's EPS eWallet transactions completed by 31 December in year 1.
        2. If the Affiliate introduces a New EPS eWallet Holder on 1 June in year 1, then Bonus will arise only on the New EPS eWallet Holder's EPS eWallet transactions completed by 31 May in year 2.

      3. Bonus Awards on EPS eWallet Holder Fees Value arising on transactions in US$ are calculated and paid in the same currency.

      4. Upon the Affiliate joining EPS's Affiliate Programme, EPS will create the Bonus Reward Wallet. The Affiliate will earn Bonus Rewards on New EPS eWallet Holder Fees Value and other actions (if any) generating Bonus Rewards arising after the Affiliate joined EPS's Affiliate Programme. EPS's Platform will automatically (re) calculate the Bonus Rewards balance when New EPS eWallet Holder Fees Value arises, or is debited due to an Excluded Amount, and display the aggregate Bonus Rewards entitlement in the Affiliate's Bonus Reward Wallet. It is the Affiliate's responsibility to check its Bonus Rewards Wallet. Where there is a positive balance of Bonus Rewards, the Affiliate can transfer its Bonus Rewards entitlement from the Bonus Rewards Wallet to the Affiliate's EPS eWallet:
        1. after the elapse of 10 days of the relevant New EPS eWallet Holder Fees Value arising and/or the EPS Card being activated or other action required in the Reward Schedule (as applicable); and
        2. subject to satisfying EPS's verification procedures including as to the Affiliate's identity and relevant transactions where the Bonus Rewards exceed thresholds defined by applicable laws.
