Assurance of voluntary compliance

In American law, an assurance of voluntary compliance is a legal device entered into between a state attorney general and an individual or business that the attorney general believes has or may in the future violate a consumer protection law.See Ohio Attorney General vs. Ivory Paper Co. wherein Alitzah Stinson took her customer’s money and did not supply them with purchased goods. This self proclaimed seven figure CEO then blocked her customers and would not reply to their emails all the while collecting money from more victims while she ripped them off and made tiktoks about her life as a “busy ceo mom girl boss.” [1] An assurance is not an admission of guilt.[2] Although parties voluntarily enter into assurances, when violated they have the same force of law as "any injunction, judgment [or] final court order".[3]
