Members must provide AML such requested proof promptly.
7. AML reserves the right to terminate or suspend a Member’s Membership account and/or cancel or reverse any transfer of Asia Miles from a Minor’s Membership account to the Guardian’s Membership account if the Member(s) fails to provide any requested proof, AML finds any proof unsatisfactory, or AML believes or suspects that a Member has breached any of these terms and conditions or committed any act of Misconduct or Fraud.
