Bounty Payments
The decisions made by Xplora regarding Bounties are final and binding. If Xplora has determined that your Submission is eligible for a Bounty under the Program Terms,  we will notify you of the Bounty amount and provide you with the necessary paperwork to process your payment. You may waive the payment if you do not wish to receive a Bounty.

If there is a dispute as to who the qualified submitter is, we will consider the eligible submitter to be the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter the Program.

Before receiving a Bounty, you are required to complete any forms that may be required by us and/or applicable laws and regulations. We cannot process payment until you have completed and submitted the fully executed required documentation(s).

  1. you may not designate someone else to receive your Bounty payout unless you are considered a minor in your place of residence;
  2. you must submit a valid invoice to us using the invoice template and/or format requirements provided by us;

The Bounty will be added to the taxable income of your parent/legal guardian; and,
  4. if you are unable or unwilling to accept your Bounty, we reserve the right to rescind it.

If the requirements are met in full and the invoice contains the correct information we require to pay you, we will use reasonable efforts to pay the accepted and undisputed invoice within 30 days of the date of the invoice.
