LISTINGS OF SUSPENDED PARTICIPANTS. When a Participant of the Association is suspended from the MLS for failing to abide by a membership duty (i.e., violation of the Code of Ethics, Association Bylaws, MLS Rules and Regulations, or other membership obligation except failure to pay appropriate dues, fees or charges), all listings currently filed with the MLS by the suspended Participant shall, at the Participant's option, be retained in the Association until sold, withdrawn or expired, and shall not be renewed or extended by the MLS beyond the termination date of the listing agreement in effect when the suspension became effective. If a Participant or subscriber has been suspended from the Association or MLS (or both) for failure to pay appropriate dues, fees or charges, the Association will not be obligated to provide any MLS services to the suspended Participant or subscriber, including continued inclusion of a suspended Participant's listings in the MLS compilation of current listing information. Prior to any removal of a suspended Participant's listings from the MLS, the suspended Participant should be advised in writing of the intended removal so that the suspended Participant may advise his clients.
