Issue Topic

Brand::Manage Shop::Customer reviews::Dispute a review

Policy

Faire Policy

  • Review violations: Publicly posted reviews of brands cannot contain the following information. Reviews in violation of these policies will be subject to removal by CX
    • Contain advertising or spam
    • Include explicit, harassing, or discriminatory content
    • Be obtained or influenced through coercion
    • Contain feedback that is not specific to the brand or within their control on Faire (for example, a review of the Faire platform, or the shipping carrier)
    • Contain feedback about their negative experience when another process should have been followed (i.e. instead of reporting a missing/damaged order, the review discusses the order issues)
    • Reveal private information of a brand or retailer
    • Undermine the integrity of Faire’s review system, including inappropriate usage of reviews
    • Falsely inflate a brand's review score:
      • Having a friend or a family member leave a biased, inauthentic, or untruthful positive review
      • Compensating a third party to leave a biased, inauthentic, or untruthful positive review
  • Reviews will be publicly published 2 business days (48 hours) after they’re written: Retailers’ posted reviews remain private for the first 48 hours. This allows brands time to flag the review if necessary before it is publicly published to their shop page.
    • If a brand flags within the first 48 hours, it will stay private until the review is actioned on by CX
  • Brands can flag reviews at any time: There is no cut off date and/or time for flagging a review once it has been publicly published
  • Encourage Brands to publicly respond when review is approved: When CX “approves a review” this means that it will be kept up on the brand’s faire page. Brands will receive an automated email informing them that their request for the removal has been rejected.
    • Brand review dispute: If the brand responds to the automated email, it will come through as a new ticket on Zendesk. The ticket is not automatically assigned to the Agent who initially approved the review. The agent who approved the review should be the one to respond back to the brand’s new ticket
  • Removed Reviews due to breach of Faire Review Policy: When CX removes a review (it violates the Faire Review policies), the brand will get an automated “review removed” email 8-10 minutes after the Remove command is clicked and comments have been added to explain the decision
    • The time lapse will allow CX to revise their decision quickly if needed
