In my case (relay only) they sort of apoligized, one other guy had an
exit running and was given the choice to either change to relay or go to
hell.
They still don't mention Tor itself but pointed to some weird
interpretation of their T&Cs which might disallow any form of email
server too, if you play by the book. The smallest possibility of
transmitting files/data which might be not yours might be enough in
their interpretation.
