Making a Report

If you believe a site hosted on Pory is violating these guidelines or our Terms of Service, please report it to support@pory.io. We aim to promptly review and investigate all complaints that we receive, but if and how we respond will depend on a variety of factors, such as the information available to us and the type of violation. We may also contact the site owner to inform them of the complaint.

If we receive a complaint and aren’t in a position to make a determination (for example whether something is defamatory or not), we will defer to the judgment of a court. Please forward any legal process relating to a site hosted on Pory to support@pory.io.
