4. Enforcement Measures

4.1 IP Address Monitoring

FAMEHERO employs automated IP geolocation monitoring to block access from sanctioned jurisdictions. Attempts to mask origin via VPNs, proxies, or anonymizers may trigger additional review and account restrictions.

4.2 Sanctions List Screening

All advertisers and service providers may be screened against leading international sanctions lists during onboarding and regularly. Transactions are monitored to identify potential matches with sanctioned individuals, entities, or organizations. Any confirmed match will result in immediate account suspension and, if required, reporting to relevant authorities.

5. Ongoing Monitoring

Accounts are subject to continuous automated monitoring for changes in IP origin, payment sources, and activity patterns. High-value or unusual transactions may be escalated for manual compliance review. Periodic re-checks are performed against updated sanctions lists.

6. Violations

Accounts found in violation of this policy may be:

• Restricted, suspended, or permanently banned from FAMEHERO
• Subject to withheld payments and/or termination of transactions
• Reported to the relevant authorities where legally required

7. Policy Review

This policy will be reviewed at least annually, or sooner if sanctions laws change or new jurisdictions are added to global lists.
