#### Account funding
The first place to check is your own account—does your impact.com account have enough funds to pay your partners?
If your account has an insufficient balance, you will receive a warning message in the UI and an email indicating that your account is in danger of entering default, and you'll need to make a deposit in order to pay your partners.

#### Contract details
Ensure that partners have fully read your terms they've agreed to, and understand any adjustments or restrictions that can affect payouts.
Review each of your contracts to check the **Payout Scheduling** line to know when payouts are due for actions on a given contract.
1. From the left navigation menu, select  **\[Engage]** → **Contracts → Template Terms**.
2. For a template term in the list, select **Actions** **\[Drop-down menu]→ View Terms**.
3. Look at the **Payout Scheduling** line to see when actions are paid out.
You can also see the scheduled payout date for any action.
1. From the left navigation menu, select  **\[Engage]** → **Transactions → Actions**.
2. Either select the action from the list, or use the *filters* to search for a specific action.
3. Select the **linked Action ID** to view details about that action.
4. Look for the **Scheduled Clearing Date** line. The date and time indicates when the payout will be sent to the partner, assuming you have sufficient funds in your account.

#### Action modifications & reversals
Make sure partners are aware of any action modifications and reversals you've made, as these affect their payouts.
