If the Listing believes that any particular Customer’s comment violates any of the Bloc’s policies, the restaurant may write to us at [email protected] and bring such violation to our attention. Bloc may remove the comment in its sole discretion if the comment is in violation of the Terms, or content guidelines and policies or otherwise harmful to the Services.
