1. Section Scope & Legal Intent
2. Mandatory Standards & Operating Requirements
All participants subject to this policy must strictly adhere to the following mandatory standards:
- The Warning and Violation System tracks real-time fulfillment metrics: Late Shipment Rate (LSR < 4%), Valid Tracking Rate (VTR > 95%), and Pre-fulfillment Cancellation (< 2.5%).
- Breaching shipping benchmarks results in automatic listing suppression, loss of 'Prime/Express' badges, and mandatory corrective action plans.
- Chronic non-fulfillment triggers progressive daily administrative fines and storefront suspension.
3. Explicit Prohibitions & Violation Triggers
The following actions constitute direct non-compliance and trigger automatic intervention by the Warning and Violation System:
- Sustaining a Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) below 95% across 30 rolling calendar days.
- Systemic dispatch delays exceeding 7 calendar days past promised delivery dates.
- Manipulating dispatch timestamps to fraudulently beat shipping SLA timers.
