1. Report A Complaint Terms & Conditions

Report A Complaint always assumes that the consumer has a positive intent in writing their message, in helping themselves, in helping other consumers, in helping the subject business provide a better product or service.

A complaint message filed and posted on the Report A Complaint website is assumed by Report A Complaint to be a description of a situation experienced by a consumer. A complaint is only a personal opinion by a consumer, a perception of a consumer. That personal perception and/or opinion based on their own personal experience can be powerful, or meaningless, in the opinion of Report A Complaint, depending upon the context and content of what is written. We're not responsible for the way that information is interpreted by whoever reads it. Which of course varies from person to person, depending on who they are, their own personal experiences, biases, opinions, etc.
