===== Requirements for Corporations Within Brave Collective ====

This page details the requirements for corporations to be part of Brave Collective. Some of the rules apply to everyone in the alliance, but it's up to the leadership of an individual corporation to enforce those rules. We respect that a corporation is responsible for its members.

These rules are well thought out, and in our experience help to maintain a healthy and vibrant corporation, which in turn leads to a healthy alliance. By being a member of Brave, you get the benefit of an alliance of thousands of members, but in turn those people care about your corporation. Your success or failure has an impact on us all.


==== Rules for Member Corporations ====

==== Enforcement of these Rules ====

We prefer wherever possible to talk through and amicably resolve issues with our member corporations. Brave Leadership is responsible for managing, monitoring, and ensuring the overall health of the corporations in Brave. They can help with understanding the rules and the reasons behind them, and how to keep your corporation healthy and active. On the very rare occasion that issues are unable to be resolved, or a corporation has become so inactive that it's unlikely to survive, a corporation may removed from the alliance.
