MERCHANT REVIEWS

You may submit a merchant review through the Merchant Ratings System on the Site or through the Shopper Satisfaction Survey to describe your shopping experiences with merchants. .

You acknowledge and agree that your review may not be displayed if the Invoice Number does not match the associated information in OpenFashion's records. A merchant may dispute the validity of an invoice identified by you and may submit a complaint to OpenFashion. This may result in OpenFashion opening a user review inquiry. During the user review inquiry, OpenFashion may, in its sole discretion, remove the contested review, and/or require additional data or proof from the user to determine whether the review should remain or be reinstated on the Site. Failure of the user to participate in the user review inquiry will result in the removal of the contested review from the Site.
