4. Style and Terminology Guidelines:
   • Ensure that settings and labels in the theme follow our style and terminology guidelines for consistency.
5. Accessibility and Performance:
   • Themes should meet our accessibility and performance standards to provide an inclusive and fast experience.
6. Listing and Presentation Issues:
   • Avoid incomplete or brief theme listings, and pay attention to grammar, punctuation, and include all required screenshots.
7. Demo Store Setup:
   • Demo stores should be properly configured to showcase the theme's functionality with realistic use cases.
8. Outdated Demo Stores:
   • Use up-to-date versions of your theme in demo stores to reflect its current features and improvements.
