7.  Determine fees independently, except when established by statute or court order, entering into no unlawful agreements with other reporters on the fees to any user.

8.  Refrain from giving, directly or indirectly, any gift, incentive, reward, or anything of value to attorneys, clients, or their representatives or agents, except for nominal items that do not exceed $25 per transaction and $50 in the aggregate per recipient each year.

9.  Maintain the integrity of the court reporting profession.

10. Abide by the rules governing the recording of judicial proceedings.
