    • Configure polling intervals responsibly to avoid excessive or abusive requests.
    • Maintain up-to-date contact information and promptly respond to notices from us.
    • Comply with all data-protection, export-control, and intellectual-property laws.

    4. Enforcement

    ShopShield reserves the right to:
