ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The specific expiration formula means points may expire in as few than six months after earning if earned late in a month, giving users a defined but potentially short window to redeem.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Points you earn will expire on the first day of the month after the sixth month from when they were earned, meaning unused points are forfeited after that date.

How other platforms handle this

Upwork Medium

If neither Freelancer nor Client take any action for 7 calendar days after the Freelancer Notice of Dormant Engagement, Freelancer and Client authorize and irrevocably instruct Payment Escrow to immediately release escrow funds to the Client Escrow Account.

Rumble Medium

All payments to you of Creator Earnings will normally be remitted to your Rumble account thirty (30) days after the month in which Rumble receives payment on your behalf from third parties for the Use of your Content.

Teachable Medium

Funds paid out to Creators via MPG are paid on the first of the month...no earlier than thirty (30) days after the end of the month in which a sale was made.
