KBS verification Methodology
The KBS verification process confirms three things: the identity of the person behind the business, control of the business's website domain, and that refund terms, terms of service and a support contact are published and live. KBS re-checks these while the membership is active, and a lapse opens a documented cure window before any seal is revoked.
