Enforcement and Accountability

Standards are enforced to preserve the integrity of sponsor operating records.

Reporting or disclosure failures are treated first as platform compliance matters, with defined resolution periods. Persistent or material non-compliance can result in:

  • ↳Suspension or removal from the platform

These outcomes are governance actions, not judgments.
