      Flagging Review Terms

      How do flagging reviews work, what it is for and what it's not for?

      There are some cases where our Team will remove review content, such that it follows our strict guidelines.  Reviews are never removed for their rating.  

       

      When a review is flagged for either Product Reviews or Seller Ratings review, it will go through a review process with our moderation and transparency team to make sure they fall within violations of the terms set below.  

       

      Terms

       

      Non-compliance – The author has persuaded their legal team to request the review be removed. 

      Vulgar Content – The use of any language considered to be obscene, profane, or offensive, as well as a personal attack. 

      Not a Business Review – The review does not pertain to the business itself or is off-topic.
