We will address your report as quickly as possible, no later than within 14 days of receipt. If it takes longer, you will receive confirmation of your report within 14 days, and we will let you know when to expect a detailed response.
Regularly submitting erroneous reports is not intended. If you do, depending on the severity of the violation, we will first issue a warning. If you do not heed this warning, we will take your account offline for a reasonable period. When we take action, we will first contact you to explain why we have made this decision.
