## 9XGO Principle

> **We don't aim to list the most software. We aim to list the right software — products that create real customer value, come from reliable vendors, and can be sold sustainably through 9XGO.**

9XGO may request additional information, conduct verification, place products on hold, or reject/remove products when necessary to protect customers, vendors, and the 9XGO marketplace.
