We expect customers to understand why we follow strict processes or rules.
Hopefully that has clarified things for customers and as was previously mentioned if there is something that customers aren't sure whether customers need or not it's usually safe to review Pooki’s Mahi’s Press Release Policy or visit Pooki’s Mahi’s Customer Success Center. However if customers are still looking for more information, then customers can contact us through one of Pooki’s Mahi’s preferred contact methods.
