1. Purpose of This Policy

veritymirror.com is an online review and business reputation platform. Because users and businesses may publish reviews, ratings, replies, business information, images, links, and other content, we may sometimes take moderation action to protect users, businesses, rights holders, and the integrity of the Platform.

This Policy explains:

  • Who may submit an appeal.
  • How to submit an appeal.
  • What information an appeal should include.
  • How veritymirror.com reviews appeals.
  • What outcomes may result from an appeal.
  • How we handle repeated or abusive appeals.
  • How external redress options may be available.

Not every decision may be appealable in every circumstance. Urgent legal, security, child safety, fraud prevention, or court-ordered actions may have limited appeal options.

An appeal may be submitted by:

  • A user whose content was moderated.

If submitting on behalf of another, you must confirm your authorization.

  • Rejection of a content report or legal/copyright/privacy complaint.
  • Revocation of Business Profile claims or verification indicators.
  • Restrictions on business tools, API access, or review invitation tools.

5. Non-Appealable or Limited-Appeal Decisions

Certain decisions may have limited appeal options, such as:

  • Emergency actions involving serious safety, terrorism, or child safety risks.
  • Actions involving malware, phishing, or cybersecurity threats.
  • Decisions finally resolved after a previous appeal (unless new evidence exists).
  • Routine technical maintenance or security limitations.

6. Time Limit for Appeals

Appeals should be submitted as soon as possible. Where applicable law provides a specific period (e.g., six months for certain EU users), we will adhere to those requirements. Appeals submitted late may be rejected unless valid reasons or new evidence are provided.

  • A clear explanation of why the decision was incorrect.
  • Supporting evidence (receipts, ownership proof, authorization, screenshots).
  • Legal or policy arguments supporting your position.
  • A good-faith statement that your appeal is accurate.

10. Appeals About Reviews

If your appeal concerns a review, you should explain why the review complies with our policies. Provide proof of genuine experience, such as receipts, invoices, or order numbers, and clarify any potential conflicts of interest.

11. Appeals About Business Replies

If your appeal concerns a business reply, provide evidence that it is professional, respectful, lawful, and does not contain private customer data or abusive language.

12. Appeals About Business Profiles

For Business Profile appeals, provide proof of business registration, domain control, trademark ownership, or authorization that the profile was claimed or restricted in error.

13. Appeals About Account Suspension or Restriction

Explain why the suspension should be reversed. Include evidence of legitimate account activity, proof that an account was compromised (if applicable), or details of corrective steps taken to ensure future compliance.

14. Appeals About Fake Reviews or Review Manipulation

If you are appealing a decision regarding fake reviews or manipulation, provide evidence of the legitimacy of your review collection process (e.g., neutral invitation methods, proof of actual customer interactions).

15. Appeals About Rejected Reports or Notices

If your original report was rejected, explain why you believe the content violates our policies or the law, providing any additional evidence that was missing in the initial notice.

16. Good Faith Requirement

Appeals must be submitted in good faith. False, misleading, fraudulent, abusive, or retaliatory appeals are prohibited. Misuse may result in loss of appeal access.

17. Acknowledgement of Appeal

We may send an acknowledgement confirming receipt of your appeal. This does not imply the appeal will be accepted or the decision reversed.

18. Initial Review of Appeals

We conduct an initial review to verify that the appeal is valid, timely, and includes sufficient information to assess the case.

19. Review Process

Our review considers the original decision, the appeal explanation, provided evidence, applicable laws, and platform policies. We aim to be objective, diligent, and fair.

20. Human Review and Automated Tools

While we use automated tools to assist in analysis, significant moderation or appeal decisions undergo appropriate human review where required by law or necessary for complex cases.

21. Requests for Additional Information

If an appeal is incomplete, we may request further documentation. Failure to respond may lead to the closure of your appeal.

22. Temporary Measures During Appeal

The original moderation decision generally remains in effect during the appeal process. Content may remain hidden or an account suspended until a final decision is reached.

23. Possible Appeal Outcomes

Appeals may be upheld, reversed, or partially reversed. Outcomes include restoring content/accounts, issuing warnings, or maintaining restrictions with modifications.

24. Notification of Appeal Decision

We will notify you of the outcome, providing the reason for our decision and details on any further available steps, while protecting necessary security and privacy information.

25. Finality of Internal Appeal Decisions

Our internal appeal decision is generally final for that specific issue, unless new material evidence is provided or further review is allowed by law.

26. Editing Content After an Appeal

We may allow content restoration if the user/business edits the content to fully comply with our rules (e.g., redacting private data or removing abusive language).

27. Appeals and Legal Complaints

Appeals involving complex legal issues (defamation, IP infringement) may require review by legal counsel. We may request further documentation or suggest parties resolve the matter via competent courts.

28. Appeals and Privacy

Personal data in appeals is processed according to our Privacy Policy for verification and dispute resolution purposes.

29. Appeals Involving Multiple Parties

Where an appeal affects multiple parties, we may share limited information to allow for a fair process, while respecting privacy and safety.

30. Confidentiality

Appeals are confidential. Misuse of appeal information for harassment or retaliation is strictly prohibited.

31. Misuse of the Appeals Process

Abusive, fraudulent, or bad-faith appeals will be rejected and may lead to restricted access to moderation tools.

32. Repeat Violations After Appeal

Continued violations after an appeal decision will lead to stricter enforcement, potentially resulting in permanent account termination.

33. Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution

Where required by law, users or businesses may access certified external dispute settlement bodies for certain moderation disputes.

34. Court and Authority Remedies

Nothing in this Policy prevents parties from seeking legal remedies through competent courts or regulators.

We retain records of appeals, decisions, and evidence for legal, audit, security, and integrity purposes.

36. Transparency

We may publish aggregated transparency reports regarding our appeals process to maintain platform trust.

37. Accessibility

We strive to keep the appeal process accessible, providing clear instructions and assistance where feasible.

38. No Guarantee of Reversal

An appeal is a request for review, not a guarantee of reversal. Decisions are based on facts, evidence, and our policy standards.

39. No Legal Advice

We do not provide legal advice. Consult independent counsel for complex legal matters.

40. Relationship With Other Policies

This Policy works alongside all other Platform policies. In case of conflict, our Terms and Conditions prevail.
