Terms and Conditions
for Submitting Reviews

Effective: September 28, 2021

Welcome to Verified Reviews! These Terms of Service (these “Terms”), including the Mandatory Arbitration Provisions, provide the terms and conditions under which Net Reviews LLC ("Net Reviews") permits individuals to post reviews and other commentary (which we collectively call “Reviews”), relating to a purchase experience with one of our clients, using the Net Reviews service described herein and on the Verified Reviews web site(s) (collectively, the “Service”). Please review these Terms carefully.

These Terms are a Contract

These Terms are a contract between Net Reviews and an individual consumer who may provide a Review of a product or service (who we refer to as the “Consumer”) sold by an organization that has contracted with Net Reviews to request and publish Consumer Reviews (who we refer to as the “Client”). (Note that we will sometimes refer to Net Reviews in these Terms as “we,” “us” or “our” and to a Consumer as “you” or “your”.) When you elect to submit a Review, you are representing to Net Reviews that you have read and understand these Terms and agree to be legally bound by these Terms.

Privacy Policy

All information Net Reviews obtains from you in connection with your use of the Service will be treated according to the provisions of our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated as part of these Terms. Your use of the Service indicates your acknowledgement and acceptance that the information you provide to us will be governed by such Privacy Policy, as it may be updated from time to time.

Submitting Reviews

The Verified Reviews Service is intended to enable Consumers and our Clients to benefit from the collection and sharing of Reviews for their mutual education and enhancement of the Client’s product and service offerings, and a Consumer’s purchasing decisions. In providing the Service, Net Reviews acts as a trusted third party to, on the one hand, collect and disseminate Reviews related to a Consumer experience, and on the other hand, ensure the compliance of the collected content in the Review with applicable law in order to publish, reject or delete such Reviews. We call this our “Moderation” process about which you may find more details below in The Moderation Process.

You, as a Consumer, are given the opportunity to provide an honest Review regarding an actual experience you have had in purchasing a product or service to benefit our Clients and other Consumers. Accordingly, in order to provide any Review, you must comply with the Review Requirements and satisfy the following criteria:

  • You must be a natural person;
  • You must not have any personal interest that represents a conflict of interest with the Client for which you provide a Review;
  • Your Review must be based upon your personal experience in purchasing a product or service from the named Client;
  • You must provide valid and current contact information to enable us to communicate with you, which we will manage according to our Privacy Policy; and
  • You guaranty the truthfulness of your Review.

When you submit any Review, you give us permission to contact you using any of the contact information either you or our Client has provided to us. We may contact you to verify information relating to your Review or your identity in order to attempt to validate your Review. You also acknowledge and agree that any Review submitted by you may be used without any compensation or other recognition to you, and may be published by Clients and third parties as they wish.

Time Periods for Reviews

We reserve the right to establish time periods during which we will accept any Review, including the amount of time after which any purchase of a product or service has been completed and the time a Review may be submitted. We prefer to obtain Reviews that are promptly provided but understand that sometimes a reason for submitting a Review may not be immediately apparent. We also recognize that circumstances or opinions may change, and so we may enable you to modify a Review within a limited time after your originally submit such Review. We will use our discretion in establishing time frames that serve the objectives of our Service and provide value to Consumers and Clients.

Publishing Reviews

Our Clients determine whether a Review of their product or service will be publicly available, and the nature of communications with the Consumers of their product or service that may be accessed, communicated, and published using the Service. Our Clients also determine whether to enable the display of aggregate ratings and links for Consumer Reviews on third-party search engines and other services with which they or Net Reviews has a business relationship.

Review Requirements

If you desire to submit a Review, we require that you comply with the following requirements which are intended to promote a beneficial experience for all users of the Service:

  • Do not submit any Review or otherwise communicate using the Service in a manner that may constitute harassment or other inappropriate action towards another person or any organization.
  • Do not impersonate another person, including a consumer or representative of any organization.
  • Do not upload any content that promotes any commercial product or otherwise solicit others to take any action, activity, or boycott, or join or become members of any other activity or organization.
  • Do not violate laws or regulations applicable to you or the use of the Service. You are responsible for complying with any laws or regulations applicable to your submission of a Review, including any information you provide and the content of your Review. You agree not to submit any Review or other information via the Service that violates any intellectual property rights or any other kind of privacy or publicity right of another person, or take any action that constitutes a criminal offense.
  • Do not upload, promote, or distribute software viruses or any other kind of computer code, files or programs that attempt to interrupt, destroy, limit, or interrupt the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment.
  • Do not interfere with our servers or third party services utilized in providing or otherwise connected to the Service.
  • Do not attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any of our Service or computer systems or breach any security or authentication measures.
  • Do not avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, impair, descramble, or otherwise circumvent any technological measure implemented by us or any of our service providers or any other third party to protect the Service, the Reviews or any Client or Consumer information.
  • Do not encourage or enable any other individual or organization to do any of the foregoing.

We include these requirements because Net Reviews does not monitor all communications and activities that take place through the Service by our Clients or other Consumers, so we strive to provide guidance for appropriate conduct. Despite our efforts, we regret that there is a possibility you may be exposed to offensive, indecent, or objectionable behavior by other users of the Service; you understand this and, accordingly, agree that your use of the Service in this regard is at your own risk. If you do encounter any behavior that conflicts with these Review Requirements, or are subject to any other objectionable content, you may contact us at info@verified-reviews.com.

Governing Law

These Terms, and any disputes arising out of or related hereto, will be governed exclusively by the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.

Dispute Resolution

Mediation

You and we agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (a “Dispute”), shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation, and if the Dispute is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Arbitration Rules set forth below, in each case in Boston, Massachusetts. Either party to a Dispute may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested. The parties to the Dispute will cooperate in good faith with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from the JAMS panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings within thirty (30) days after being submitted to JAMS (the “Mediation Schedule”). The parties to the Dispute agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.

Arbitration

Either party to a Dispute may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or at any time following 45 days from the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first ("Earliest Initiation Date"). The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties to the Dispute so desire. At no time prior to the Earliest Initiation Date shall either side initiate an arbitration or litigation related to this Agreement except to pursue a provisional remedy that is authorized by law or by JAMS Rules or by agreement of the parties. However, this limitation is inapplicable to a party if the other party refuses to comply with the Mediation Schedule. All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled until 15 days after the Earliest Initiation Date. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.

Arbitration Rules

Any arbitration initiated pursuant to this these Terms shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules, before one arbitrator (unless the parties agree to use three arbitrators). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in connection with any Dispute exceeding actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. Each party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court of located in Boston, Massachusetts for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such arbitration, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its, his or her property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the award may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the award of any such court. Each party to the Dispute hereby agrees to take any action that is required under this Agreement or the Act to implement any resolution of a Dispute determined by the arbitration. Each party hereby consents to service of process by notice according to these Terms. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process herein is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.

No Class Actions

You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Mandatory Arbitration Provisions" section will be deemed void.

The Moderation Process

 

Description of the Moderation Process

Moderation is a process prior or after the publication of a Review which aims to guarantee the conformity of the collected content to the ISO 20488 standard. The Moderation service offered by Verified Reviews is provided in connection with a Client’s subscription to the Service.

Verified Reviews undertakes to respect all these provisions in order to preserve the reliability of the published Reviews and will publish or reject Reviews when it is justifiable. The rejection of a Review is necessarily the result of a manual action by the Verified Review moderators following a report of the Review in question by the Client. All stakeholders and actions related to Moderation are identified and traceable. The same Moderation period applies to all Reviews, whether positive or negative.

Roles and Means of the Moderators

Moderation is carried out by computer tools and/or individuals who are generally referred to as "moderators".

The capacities required and the means necessary for the person occupying the function of moderator are:

- a perfect command of the language in which the Review was written, which mastery must have been objectively validated before taking up the position, equivalent to a level of "Mastery" of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (level C2 of the CEFR);

- access to the entire content of the Review;

- access to the identity of the writer (collected during the filing of Review) in order to be able to contact the writer if necessary;

- access to all information relating to the history of the Review submission (number of submissions of the same Review after initial rejection);

- access to the history of writer information (number of Reviews published, subject of previous Reviews); and

- the ability to observe previous Moderation of the Review by another moderator.

Standard Moderation

The Moderation process is divided into two steps: an automatic moderation followed by a manual Moderation.

In the automatic Moderation, certain Reviews are filtered and placed in Moderation in an internet-accessible interface from which a Client may utilize various tools to review and respond to Reviews (which we call the Client’s “Back Office”). Elements which may trigger automatic filtration include:

- the Review contains illicit, rude, offensive, or discriminatory comments;

- the Review contains personal data that can be identified by the system; or

- the Review text contains unintelligible content.

Certain Reviews that are automatically placed in the Client’s Back Office are automatically reported to the Verified Reviews Moderators for review if:

- the Review contains a content with quotes from a competitor; or

- the Review provides a rating that does not match the commentary.

After the automatic Moderation, a manual moderation takes place, during which Clients may respond to a Consumer submitting a Review or report to the Verified Reviews moderators those Reviews considered problematic, and Verified Reviews moderators assess those Reviews reported by Clients and the automatic moderation system.

This automatic and human moderation systems substantially diminish the potential publication of Reviews that do not comply with the ISO 20488 standard, as well as these Terms and Review Requirements. Thus, only after examining the reported Reviews, do the Verified Review moderators decide whether to publish such reported Reviews.

The automatic moderation is done before the publication of the Reviews. However, the manual part is available at any time from the Client's Back Office and can therefore be moderated after publication, if necessary.

Moderation Time Period

Verified Reviews generally attempts to conclude the moderation for all Reviews, whether positive or negative, so that all Reviews are published seven (7) days after the Review is submitted. However, it is possible that certain moderations may extend up to fourteen (14) days due to extenuating circumstances. In addition, extraordinary circumstances may require additional time delays, upon the express request of the Client, which requests shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by Verified Reviews.

Rejection of Client Reviews

Verified Reviews will inform the Consumer of the rejection of a Review and provide the reason for the rejection. However, Verified Reviews is not required to specify the reasons for the rejection of a Review that has been identified as artificially constructing or biasing the evaluation of the product or service.

Reasons for Rejection of Consumer Brand Reviews include:

  • The filed review is considered inappropriate, abusive, defamatory, discriminatory, adversarial, racist, or involves a call for legal action.
  • The review cannot be considered true because Verified Reviews has contradictory elements.
  • The rating does not match the commentary.
  • The review focuses only on the features of the purchased product or service and not on the overall experience with the rated company.
  • Elements describing the consumer experience are not filled in, or are considered unintelligible..
  • The review is deemed to bias the average of the rated company or contains concrete elements of conflict of interest.
  • The review is unrelated to the topic being rated.
  • The review contains information of a personal nature or any other information likely to identify its creator, to contact them or to lead to identity theft.
  • The review mentions the name of a competitor and/or encourages buying from the competition.
  • The review's creator states that they are not yet in a position to evaluate the rated company or have not used its services.
  • The review contains promotional elements, is considered spam, and/or mentions websites.
  • The rated company has intervened in the handling of the dispute, and the creator of the review wishes to update it.
  • The creator of the review has contacted Verified Reviews or the rated company to modify or remove their review.
  • Verified Reviews believes that it may be subject to civil or criminal liability.
  • Verified Reviews has identified this review as fraudulent.

Verified Reviews will give the Consumer the opportunity to submit a new Review following the rejection of his/her first Review during the Moderation process; up to a maximum of three (3) Reviews.

Editing and Modification

Verified Reviews will not modify or delete content of a Review, such as correcting spelling mistakes, changing user pseudonyms, or hiding or deleting text, other than inserting alternative characters in place of names or numbers in Reviews in order to respect the confidentiality of Personal Data.

Publication of Reviews

Verified Reviews displays all Reviews in their entirety, whether positive or negative, if they have not been rejected during the Moderation process. Reviews are published chronologically from the most recent to the oldest based on the date the Review was submitted, with at least the following information:

- the date and time the Review was submitted;

- the date of the Consumer’s experience;

- the Review writer’s first name and first letter of their surname.

Verified Reviews may also display the product or service purchased and the place of purchase.

Verified Reviews may display below each Review the Client’s right of reply.

Consumer Withdrawal of Reviews

You may request us to withdraw, or cease publication, of a Review by contacting us via email at moderation@verified-reviews.co.uk or by sending a request to:

Net Reviews LLC

WeWork 8th floor Suite 800, 745 Atlantic Avenue

Boston MA, 02111 USA

Attention: Legal Notice

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Review; provided, that such Review shall be retained by Net Reviews in the Net Reviews databases in accordance with applicable law.

Review Scoring

Verified Reviews transparently displays on its Attestation page the average score for each of its Clients collected over a period of one (1) year on a rolling basis. Verified Reviews does not aggregate or weight ratings. Reviews are kept for a period of five (5) years in the Verified Reviews Database.

Verified Reviews determines the average score using the following calculation: average score = (sum of the scores in the published Reviews / total number of published Reviews).

The score is calculated as follows:

  • Calculation of the average, to five (5) digits after the decimal point, of all the scores of the published Reviews;
  • to have a score out of 5: this average, to five (5) digits after the decimal point, is rounded to one digit after the decimal point;
  • for a score out of 10: this average, to five (5) digits after the decimal point, is multiplied by two (2) and then rounded to one (1) digit after the decimal point.

Reporting Illegal or Inappropriate Reviews

Verified Reviews allows for the reporting of a Review with illegal or inappropriate content by email to moderation@verified-reviews.co.uk or through the Client's Merchant Profile Page which is a web page indexed by Google, displaying all Reviews collected for such Client by the Service. This page can be accessed by clicking on the widget or the URL of the web page referenced by the Google search engine.

Client’s Right of Reply

Verified Reviews enables the Client being evaluated the opportunity to respond at any time to a Review through its Back Office. The Client may:

  • thank the Consumer for the Review;
  • respond to questions in the Review;
  • respond to the comments in the Review (with the possibility of filing attachments); and
  • indicate any changes that may have been made to the product or service since the Review was written.

The Client responses are displayed below the relevant Reviews. The Consumer will receive an email informing them of any message relating to his/her Review sent by the Client. The Consumer will be able to reply without being able to modify his/her rating. The Client will likewise be informed of messages left by Consumers on its products and/or services. These various exchanges will be visible publicly online, unless the Client has elected to communicate privately with the Consumer.

This procedure enables a Client to engage with the Consumer when a Review seems unjustified.

Verified Reviews does not interfere with, and accepts no responsibility for, any such communications between the Client and the Consumer. Clients and Consumers are solely responsible for managing any difficulty that may arise from the submission of a Review and any further communications relating to such Review.

Consumer Bans

Verified Reviews reserves the right to exercise its discretion in banning a writer of a Review that we determine contains illicit or inappropriate content as a result of the moderation process, or where such writer otherwise violates the Review Requirements, and may remove all Reviews from such writer.

Rights of Verified Reviews and the Client in Reviews

Consumers who submit a Review, or any additional communication related to such a Review or a Client response thereto, agree that Verified Reviews and the Client may freely use, reproduce, publish, make available and translate the content of the Review forever throughout the world and in any media and on any medium whatsoever, provided that Verified Reviews and its Client shall only have the right to use the pseudonym used by the Consumer in connection with the Review for a period of eighteen (18) months. Verified Reviews will anonymize each Review eighteen (18) months after they are submitted
