# How Do I Close My Partner Account?
Before closing your account, all your contracts must be expired and all funds must be cleared from your account. Once your account is cleared, you'll create a support ticket to request the deactivation and closure of your account. You can delete both member and partner accounts in this way, and you can use the same support ticket to request the closure of any number of accounts.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Note:** If you, as an account administrator, want to [remove users](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/account-management/account-settings/user-management/invite-and-manage-partner-account-users.md) from your partner account, you can do so at any time without needing to contact support.
{% endhint %}
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Step 1: Expire your contracts
To view all your contracts in one place, open your *Contract History* report.
1. From the top navigation bar, select the **Reports → More Reports**.
2. From the *Category* filter next to the search bar, select **Contract**.
3. Select [**Contract History**](https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/report/viewReport.report?handle=mp_io_history). Hover over the row to customize your access to the report:
* Select**\[Pin]** to pin the report to the top navigation bar.
* Select  **\[Heart]** to save the report to your *Favorited list*.
* Select  **\[More]** to change or remove the report from the *Contract* category.
4. Set your filters as follows:
* **Program** — *All*
* **Contract Status** — *Show only current active contracts*
* **Contract Termination Reason** — *Contract is still Active*
5. Select **Apply** when the filters are in place.
6. In the *Signed Contracts* section, in the *View* column of any report, select **View → Actions → Expire**.
* Repeat this for all contracts in the *Signed Contracts* section.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Step 2: Confirm that all funds have been withdrawn
Your account must not have any funds currently available nor should it have any funds that will become available or are overdue. Learn how to [contact a brand](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/contacting-a-brand/access-brand-contact-information.md) if you have overdue earnings.
1. From the top navigation bar, select [**Home**](https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/home/pview.ihtml) to return to the dashboard.
* Alternatively, from the top left, select the [**impact.com icon**](https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/home/pview.ihtml) to return to the dashboard.
2. On the partner dashboard, check your displayed *Balance*.
3. If your balance is somewhere between 0 and the auto-withdrawal threshold you set when configuring your [bank account settings](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/how-do-partners-get-paid.md#step-3-set-up-your-bank-details-0-2), you'll need to do one of 2 things:
* **Request a manual paystub** — create a [support ticket](https://app.impact.com/support/portal.ihtml?createTicket=true) to have your funds withdrawn manually. impact.com will only consider your request if your balance is sufficient to cover processing fees and leave a remainder.
* **Forfeit the balance** — create a [support ticket](https://app.impact.com/support/portal.ihtml?createTicket=true) to request account closure and inform impact.com of your decision to forfeit your existing balance.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Step 3: Request account closure
You are now ready to reach out to support to have your account closed. Simply submit a [support ticket](https://app.impact.com/support/portal.ihtml?createTicket=true) detailing your request. impact.com will do a final review of your account before deactivating it.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** Closing an account is an irreversible action. None of your data will be retrievable once your account is deactivated.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
## Account closure FAQs
What happens with my contracts after the closure of my account?
When impact.com closes down your account, all unclosed contracts are expired and any actions from the date of closure onward are rejected.
What happens with links after the closure of my account?
If you still have a promotional link posted anywhere and a customer clicks on that link, they should either receive an error message stating that the link has expired or they'll be directed to a dead page. If the link is still active, no crediting or tracking will take place and the action will be rejected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.impact.com/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/account-management/account-settings/account-management/how-do-i-close-my-partner-account.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
