Our representatives will never edit a rating to make it comply or remove a rating simply because it is a low score or negative review.

GUIDELINES

Service Provider Guidelines:

Be honest in your reviews. You want to be able to trust these reviews when evaluating your customer options, so we ask that you contribute in the same spirit.
When you are reviewing a past customer, it’s often helpful to provide both pros and cons. This will lead to more credible and constructive feedback for your peers.
Reviews should focus specifically on the service you have provided. Do not comment negatively on a customer’s home décor, ethnicity, religious, or sexual orientation.
Avoid hearsay. We want you to share your individual experience working with that particular customer. Don’t speak on behalf of another service provider, we encourage others to submit their own reviews. This is not a forum for debate. Reviews that specifically reference another review will be removed. If you do not agree with another service provider’s individual experience, we encourage you to share your own. Reviews fueled by anger do not reflect well on the service provider and can be removed for violations such as profanity. Take a minute to step back and make sure your review will genuinely help others understand your experience.
KUZAD reserves the right to remove ratings that do not contain substantive comments.
When reading your fellow service provider reviews, we encourage you to use your discretion and weigh every review amongst the others. Online reviews should be one of the many resources used when making a decision that affects your business.

PROHIBITED CONTENT

Comments that contain the following will be removed:

Profanity, name-calling, and/or vulgarity, derogatory remarks about religion, ethnicity or race, gender, physical appearance, mental and/or physical disabilities.
References to a customer’s family, personal life and/or sex life, including sexual innuendos.
Direct references to other existing comments or comments that have been deleted by our representatives; A language other than English. Comments must be written in English only. Hyperlinks and / or URLs.

CUSTOMER GUIDELINES

This is an anonymous website where service providers can share their experiences. We are unable to provide any data or personal information about the submitter of a review.
We do not proactively add any customer or service provider to our website. Every profile was submitted by our service providers. We are unable to remove a comment simply because it is negative. It will only be removed if it doesn’t comply with our website guidelines. KUZAD representatives are unable to prove or disprove details mentioned in a review. We are not arbiters of facts.
While it is against our guidelines for customers to rate themselves, we recommend that customers encourage their service providers to rate each service experience. The more reviews you have, the more likely it will be for a service profession to accept your job.

FLAGGING A RATING

If you see a rating that you believe violates these Site Guidelines, please click the "report this rating" at the bottom of the comment and state the problem. Such comments will be evaluated by the Site's personnel. Please do not flag a rating just because you disagree with its wording.

SOME LEGAL STUFF

KUZAD occasionally receives removal demands that include threats to sue us. To date, no one has followed through with a lawsuit against us for our reviews.
The law protects KUZAD from legal responsibility for the content submitted by our users, such as the reviews that appear on our site. Specifically, the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (47 U.S.C. Sec. 230) created a federal immunity to any cause of action that would make websites, like KUZAD, liable for information originating with a third-party user of the service.
The law is clear on this matter. Anyone who wishes to sue KUZAD for the reviews posted by our members risks penalties imposed by the court. These may include financial sanctions and reimbursement of our attorney's fees for our having to defend against a lawsuit that ignores obvious legal protections for KUZAD.
