> LouFriends,
The TOS here could mean that notifications {will} be responded to. Here is a link that Dr. Hsiung writes that notifications {will} be responded to in one of two ways.
The generally accepted meaning of {will} is that there is a determined effort to do something, as in an inevitability, such as, [..we >will< overcome...] or,[...the sun >will< come up tomorrow...].
Here is a link of a post by DR. Hsiung where he writes that the notifications {will} be responded to. I think that his statement could be considered to be part of the terms of service here so I will await for him to respond to my notificatins.
