It’s not clear why the account was banned. Blake runs an event planning business https://www.instagram.com/gregoryblakesamsevents/ . He is planning on opening a brick and mortar store in Charleston with online retail as well. The store is months away from opening. There is literally nothing on Shopify for the store yet.

From Shopify:

Shopify’s response when requesting a review:

Unfortunately, once an account has been declined the decision is final.

As per [*Shopify's Terms Of Service | Section 4*](http://www.shopify.com/legal/terms), it states that: "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time".

Hope someone can help!
