Effective date unknown (1)

1 change recorded during January 26–1, 2026 has no known effective date. It is dated the day we recorded it, not the day its terms took effect, so it is not counted as a change that took effect during January 26–1, 2026. Where archived copies of the vendor's page bracket a change, it is dated by the first copy that shows the new terms.
