    Breach of Policy

    If a store is found to be breaching this Release Date Policy, we will first attempt to make contact with the store to provide a warning and to correct the situation. A store breaching the policy after being provided a warning may result in having that store blacklisted, preventing them from buying future Grand Archive products from their distributors.
