SANTA MONICA, Calif. ? An anonymous source exclusively told XBIZ that within the last six months several large adult affiliate networks have received termination notices from Epoch, an IPSP, stating it will cease providing processing services within 24 hours for unspecified reasons.
The letter reportedly highlights Epoch's termination clauses, as stated in its contract, and informs the recipient that though the company has violated one or more of the terms, it will not state the specific reason for termination.
The letter also states Epoch will not hand over members' credit card information, which prevents recipients from finding a replacement processor within the 24-hour termination period and makes all active memberships and rebills null and void.
Rand Pate, Epoch's director of communications, would not comment on the specifics of the letter.
"Epoch takes its processing seriously and is in business to protect its clients and portfolio of clients to ensure everyone stays in business for the long term," Pate told XBIZ. "We do not comment on specific cases in the interest of all associated partners."
