Rules for User Reviews:
- General
User reviews may only be added by consumers, not by companies or by individuals with self-interest in the store or the product. It may not be used in order to promote your own, or purposely damage someone else’s, business or reputation. Reviews may not contain links, questions, or discuss other stores or products than the one being reviewed.
Reviews that violate our rules will be hidden. Depending on the circumstances, we may ask for an explanation or an update. If a member does not respond or is unable to provide a reasonable explanation the review will remain hidden.
To reduce the risk that anything other than own experiences and opinions form the basis of a review we do not allow reviews submitted in return for promised compensation (money, equipment, discounts, lottery tickets, etc.) or in return for participation in a prize competition or lottery. A review suspected of having been submitted under such conditions is seen as advertising and will be removed. Since we cannot determine why each individual review is submitted, all reviews submitted or updated during an ongoing campaign, prize competition or lottery, involving reviews on PriceSpy, will be removed.
- Store reviews
Opinions should be specific and based on facts. They should reflect the consumer's own and current experiences concerning customer care, customer support, or be related to the purchase agreement and its terms. Please use our discussion forum for all other matters related to stores, e.g. general opinions or warnings regarding the company's operations, allegations relating to illegal activities or threats, pricing, payment solutions, offers, etc.
For store reviews where the buyer claims to wait for delivery, refund or repair action, it must be stated what date the product was ordered, canceled, or the error was reported. The review must then be updated regularly (at least once per month) until the case is closed. If not, it will be hidden and remain hidden until updated. - Product reviews
Opinions should be specific and based on facts. They should reflect the consumer's own experiences regarding product functionality, performance, quality, content, etc. Please use our discussion forum for all other matters related to products.
Please note:
We reserve the right to modify and amend these rules & guidelines at any time without notice. It is your responsibility to remain informed of current rules & guidelines.
