Such prohibition shall last until removed by the Commission.
The vendor may clear himself and avoid conviction by establishing that he acted in good faith and did not know the person affected by the prohibition or, if he is accused of selling alcoholic beverages to a person under eighteen years of age, by establishing that he used reasonable diligence to ascertain the age of the person before selling him alcoholic beverages and had reasonable ground for believing that such person was of the required age.
No sale made to any of the persons mentioned in sub-paragraphs b, c, d and e of this section shall constitute an offence by the vendor unless the Commission has informed him, by registered or certified letter, that it is forbidden to sell to such person.
