## Stricter email validation

Contact and order requests now reject emails that Hive can't save, instead of accepting them and dropping the contact or order later. An email must be at most 75 characters, use Latin characters only, and not contain symbols such as `#`, `&`, `{` or `}`. A request with an invalid email returns `422` with an error on the `email` field. See [Contacts](/docs/contacts#fields).
