User Review Policy

Written by Matt Eagar

Reviews help to build a platform of trust on Bike Hub. To protect the integrity of the review system and ensure reviews are useful and informative, we require all reviews to adhere to our policy:

  1. Reviews may only be added where a sale happened or a firm agreement was in place
    As per our Terms of service: User reviews should only be submitted where an agreement to transact exists or a transaction was concluded on Bike Hub. We reserve the right to remove feedback that relates to negotiations or communications where there was no agreement and/or a transaction did not take place or relates to a transaction not initiated via Bike Hub.
    ​
    In short, if a sale wasn't concluded or there was no agreement to sell in place you should not be posting a review. If this cannot be verified we may prevent you from posting a review or remove a review.


    ​

  2. Reviews must be unbiased

    Any review posted should be unbiased and objective.
    ​
    Incentivising positive reviews or using the threat of negative reviews to influence behaviour is not allowed.
    ​
    Reviews posted by fake accounts or accounts confirmed to be linked to or competing with a particular user will be removed and offending accounts may be suspended.


    ​

  3. Reviews must be relevant
    Your reviews should remain relevant to the deal and item you purchased. Off-topic or unrelated comments about the person are distracting and unhelpful to other users looking to make informed buying or selling decisions.
    ​
    To ensure your reviews remain relevant, we ask you to avoid:

    • Name-calling or profanity

    • Personal attacks or assumptions about their character, social/religious or political views

    • Commentary on circumstances outside of the person's control

Where we receive a report of a review that violates our Reviews policy we may remove the review from Bike Hub. Repeated violations may result in the suspension of the offending account(s).
