Roch Interpretation
A penalty has to be for a clearly defined breach, like not clearing waste, and capped at a reasonable amount. Open-ended or punitive penalties do not pass.
Examples
Compliant
A small, stated penalty for repeatedly failing to clear waste, capped and clearly defined.
Not compliant
An open-ended 'fine' the provider can impose at will for vaguely defined dog conduct.
