REFUSE IMPROPER GIFTS AND HOSPITALITY

However, the Company is committed to fair and honest conduct of business and our people must refuse, and must not provide to any other party, any gifts or hospitality which would be inconsistent with standard business practices, be construed as improper or corrupt, or violate any law, regulation, rule, the Company or CLEANBARKS policy.
