 D. USER REVIEW

  1. PURPOSE

The Site offers the opportunity to the User to rate and leave a review of the products presented on the Site.

 

  1. RATING AND REVIEW TERMS

The User can leave a review for a period of three (3) months following his/her purchase. To do so, the User receives an email from our partner Avis Vérifiés inviting him to give his opinion by writing a review and to rate the product and the brand by expressing his satisfaction on a scale of 1 to 5 stars.

In order to leave a review, the User must be an identifiable natural person who can be contacted by e-mail, must not be in a conflict of interest situation, and must have personal experience of purchasing the product being reviewed. The User must provide a real and serious opinion.

By clicking on the "share my opinion” box, the User accepts Avis Vérifiés Terms Of Services.

 

  1. MODERATION

User reviews must remain decent, respectful and must not deviate from the subjects that the Site www.feliway.fr is intended to deal with, or divert its purpose.

User reviews can be moderated a priori to ensure that they do not contravene current laws and practices.

The collection of reviews and its moderation are subject to controls by Ceva's teams.

The controls aim to ensure that :

- The User expressing an opinion has actually experienced the service on which he/she is expressing his/her review,

- No selection is made on the ratings or reviews before posting,

- No modification is made to the reviews,

- All reviews are visible

 

The moderators’ role is to reject opinions that offend the others or harm the quality of exchanges. The reasons for rejection include, but are not limited to :

  • The notice submitted is considered inappropriate, insulting, defamatory, discriminatory, accusatory, racist or contains a call for legal action ;
  • The review cannot be considered truthful because Ceva has contradictory information ;
  • The rating does not correspond to the review ;
  • The review relates only to the purchasing experience (customer service, delivery, website) and not to the characteristics of the product or service purchased; The description of the characteristics of the product or service purchased is not provided or is considered unintelligible;
  • The review is identified as aiming to bias the average of the product or service rated, or contains concrete elements of conflicts of interest ;
  • The review has nothing to do with the product being rated
  • The review contains personal information or any other information likely to identify its author, to contact him or her or to lead to identity theft ;
  • The review mentions the name of a competitor and/or encourages purchase from a competitor;
  • The User states in his review that he is not yet, or will not be, in a position to evaluate this product or service;
  • The review contains promotional elements, is considered spam, and/or mentions websites;
  • Ceva has intervened in the handling of the dispute, and the User wishes to update it;
  • The User has contacted the moderators in order to modify or delete his or her review;
  • The moderator considers that he/she may be liable under civil or criminal law ;
  • The moderator has identified this review as fraudulent ;

 

Ceva, as a simple moderator, cannot guarantee the veracity or honesty of the reviews, which may, if necessary, engage the civil or criminal liability of their author. 

Ceva undertakes to systematically inform the User of the rejection of a review as well as the reason for the rejection.

Ceva also undertakes to give the User the opportunity to submit a new review following the deletion of its first review during the moderation process ; up to a maximum of three (3) reviews.

Ceva is not obliged to specify the reasons for the rejection of a review that has been identified as being aimed at artificially constructing or biasing the evaluation of the product or service.

In the event that a User is identified as having submitted one or more reviews that are recognised as illicit or inappropriate after Moderation, Ceva will end the possibility of submitting a review for this User and will delete all the reviews linked to this User.

 

  1. PUBLICATION

The review collected is intended to be displayed on the Internet, on the pages of each product noted in the "customer review" tab.

Each review is displayed with :

  • the date and hour the review was posted ;
  • the date of the consumption experience ;
  • the first name and first letter of the author’s surname.

 

The User cannot modify his review once it has been validated, except in the case of rejection by the moderators. The User may ask Ceva to remove it from its website. The User may also report to Ceva a notice with illegal or inappropriate content or in violation of the Terms of Services.

The deletion of a notice is done by means of a unique form that can be reached via a clickable link: "Report", which can be found next to each notice.

 

Rating :

All ratings are taken into account in the calculation of satisfaction per service. For each product, each score is calculated on the basis of an arithmetic average of all the reviews published.

 

  1. RETENTION PERIOD FOR REVIEWS

Avis Vérifiés undertakes not to retain indefinitely the Personal Data of Users issuing a customer review via its solution.

To this end, Avis Vérifiés anonymises customer reviews eighteen (18) months after they are issued.

 

  1. PARTNERSHIPS

Reviews may be published on Google and on the Avis Vérifiés website using:

- The note and commentary,

- The date of the order,

- The date of the review,

- The full first name + 1st letter of the surname.

The User may, however, choose to hide the display of their information after submitting their review (in the thank you email). In this case, their personal data will be anonymised and the following message will be displayed "Pseudonymised data at the request of the author".
