Violation of these guidelines might result in the removal of the content that violated the guidelines or might lead to the temporary or permanent suspension of the user account who violated the guidelines. Tealfeed might choose to stop or limit the distribution or promotion of any particular content at the sole discretion of Tealfeed’s editorial team.
