No Enforcement Action Clause (NAC):
	NACs are written commitments made by Saudi Central Bank included in the Innovator’s LoA that it will not take disciplinary action against the Innovator for the duration of the test for as long as the Innovator adheres to the conditions and limitations agreed for the testing. Saudi Central Bank may use NACs in order to incentivize Innovators to be open and transparent in its dealings with them or where it is not possible to issue waivers or informal guidance, (e.g. there is a gap in the regulations in relation to the activities proposed).
	NACs can be granted without affecting Saudi Central Bank’s right to suspend or cancel the test should it identify consumer detriment. NACs only address the risk of Saudi Central Bank enforcement action and do not affect the Innovators’ potential legal liability to consumers.
