Suspension of BLC® Listing Service Access

(a). In the event a violation or decision is deemed final (whether by exhausting all remedies provided under the Compliance Policy or this Manual or due to the failure to timely request a waiver, hearing, or procedural review) and the Member has not paid the fine imposed required within the time provided therefore, the Member’s access to the BLC® Listing Service will be suspended until the fine balance is paid in full as provided in the Billing Policy. In the event of any inconsistency between a provision in this Procedural Manual and the Billing Policy, the Billing Policy shall control.   

(b). Similarly, in the event a Member fails to complete any educational course required by a final decision, and to provide proof of completion thereof to Staff, within the time provided in the decision, the Member’s access to the BLC® Listing Service will be suspended until the Member completes the course and has provided sufficient proof of completion to Staff.  

(c). If a Participant has their access to the BLC® Listing Service suspended, for any reason, any Subscriber affiliated with that Participant shall also have their access to the BLC® Listing Service suspended until the Participant’s access is restored.  

(d). Pursuant to the MSC and BLC Billing Policy, if Subscriber’s service has been suspended under Section 6.1(a), and payment of the fine is still not received, the office which holds the license of the non-compliant Subscriber will have all products and services of the Association, including their BLC® listing service terminated for all Members within the Participant’s office until the fine(s), late fee(s), and reinstatement fee(s) are received by MIBOR or the office notifies MIBOR that they are no longer holding the license of the Member.
