Violation of the ISO 27001 certification

What happens if i have and declare that i am certified by 27001 or 27018, companies come to me and get service from me but during that time i do violate some of the obligations take place in 27001 or 27018? Am i responsible by any legal sanctions or do i only loose customers/reputation?

Answer: During the time your company is certified against ISO 27001, if you become non-compliant with the standard, then the certification body might revoke your certificate during the surveillance visit (depending on whether the nonconformity is major or minor.)

You can get legal penalties only if you break some law/regulation, or if you violate the contractual obligations.
