Affected baseline records: Aventon. Manually verified against two official Aventon help pages on July 20, 2026. This is a Skinflint normalization correction, not evidence that Aventon changed its policy on that date.</description></item><item><title>Initial nine-brand policy baseline established</title><link>https://skinflint.ai/policy-change-log/#baseline-2026-07-19</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skinflint.ai/policy-change-log/#baseline-2026-07-19</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>baseline</category><description>Skinflint published its first normalized U.S. direct-order baseline for return eligibility, clocks, ride limits, percentage deductions, fixed charges, freight uncertainty, packaging, and cancellation terms.
