- Use the correct workspace role

- Order requirements
- Publisher acceptance or rejection
- Delivery URL and status history
Website listings
Website listings can be pending, approved, live, rejected, disabled, archived, or removed according to product rules and moderation decisions. Approval is not a guarantee of future metrics, indexing, traffic, ranking, or availability.

- Marketplace visibility rules
- Metric values can change
Payments, credits, and payouts
Wallet credits, order debits, provider payments, refunds, commissions, earnings, and payout requests follow the platform records and configured provider rules. Wallet credit is a service balance, not a bank account, and payout eligibility depends on completed order and account state.
- Payment provider terms may apply
- Refunds follow the Refund Policy and order record
- Payouts require eligible earnings

- No security interference
Account suspension and intellectual property
AuthorityCat may restrict, suspend, disable, or terminate access when needed to protect users, marketplace integrity, payments, security, or legal compliance.

- Account enforcement where required
- Listing removal where required
- Limited license to operate submitted content
Service availability and liability
AuthorityCat works to operate a reliable service, but no internet service or third-party metric source can be guaranteed uninterrupted or error-free.

- No guaranteed uptime claim on this page
- No guaranteed rankings or traffic
- Third-party providers may change behavior
