    1. Only those accounts actively subscribed to Twitter Blue are eligible to receive the blue tick.

    2. Twitter team uses decides on when the blue tick is given to an account after the criteria check.

    1. Twitter may remove the blue tick at any time from an account without any notice.

    2. To prevent the loss of the blue tick, do not change the profile photo, display name or username or handle, until the account is verified and reviewed.

    3. Any violation of the Twitter rules and terms of service or the manipulation of the platform or any malicious actions would result in the loss of the blue tick and in some serious instances, suspension of the account.
