You may report any content on a website that uses the Patch Labs Services that violates this Acceptable Use Policy and/or the Patch Labs Terms of Service by emailing Patch Labs at labs@patch.com. How we respond and what, if any action, we take will depend on the available information, the type of violation and whether Patch Labs is able to make a determination, e.g. regarding whether content is defamatory.
