Member Hair-Balls totals are subject to adjustment, and member accounts are subject to suspension or cancellation, by KATS 94.5 for any activity which is in violation of any rules, or which is not in compliance with the intent of the program. KATS 94.5 shall be the sole determiner in cases of suspected abuse or violation of KAT HOUSE! rules, and any decision it makes relating to adjustment of Hair-Balls or termination of membership shall be final and binding.  Members will be notified of any such adjustments through a posting in the history log (viewable in the Transactions section of My Account in the KAT HOUSE!) or through an email sent to the email address in the member's account profile.  Should the member disagree with any Hair-Balls adjustment or account suspension, the sole remedy will be withdrawal from the program.
