Reflect your genuine experience.
Not be incentivised in any way.
Not relate to a product or service you are connected with (for example, because you (or someone in your family) has a financial interest in or works for the business that provides it).
Not manipulate ratings (for example, you cannot submit multiple reviews for the same product or service).
Not be obscene, offensive, harmful or defamatory.
Where and how we display reviews
Reviews for our products appear on our Website. Reviews for our services appear on our Website and on Trustpilot.
We publish all product reviews that comply with this Policy with the most recent showing first. We create overall ratings for products by averaging the ratings received..
Someone reading a Trustpilot review by you can see your other Trustpilot reviews.
We may use your reviews in our marketing
We may include all (or a representative part) of your review in our marketing material in any media (for example, on our website, in a brochure or in advertising). Your identity will not be revealed.
How we investigate and deal with suspicious reviews
If our own monitoring or a report from you or someone else suggests that a review does not comply with this Policy we will promptly investigate and may:
Immediately remove it (or not publish it, where it has been detected before publication). We will do this where we are certain it is non-compliant.
Investigate it further (which may involve contacting the reviewer for evidence that it is compliant) and flag it as a possibly fake review until our investigation is complete. If we then determine the review is non-compliant we will remove it.
If we identify one review as non-compliant we may remove all reviews submitted by the same reviewer and refuse to publish any further reviews from the same reviewer.
If we remove a review or are investigating it we will not count it towards any aggregated review score.
