Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: The value says 'USD 350 / USD 500 / USD 1,000', but no citation has the currency: the cited header stops before the 'USD USD USD' line, and the general 'charged in USD' sentence is not cited. Everything else (online, 350/500/1,000, extension rules, no grace) is cited. The 30/60 EVP defect is gone.)

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
