8. User Ratings and Reviews
If you rate a Localloop Certified Business and, in addition, provide comments, your
comments along with your first name and last initial will be displayed on the website.
Your act of posting a comment grants Localloop a non—exclusive, royalty free license
to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and/or distribute your comment. You acknowledge
that:
a. your comments are subject to applicable state and federal laws, including libel
and defamation,
b. if you knowingly post false or misleading statements about a business or person,
you may be subject to legal action from that person or business, and
c. you will be solely responsible for such actions or damages. Localloop will
not be responsible for any such actions or damages.
Localloop reserves the right to:
a. verify comments before publication,
b. not display false, defamatory or libelous comments (or remove such comments if
they have been displayed), or
c. take such other action as may be necessary to protect Localloop from loss relating
to your comments.
In order to protect Localloop in the event of legal process, and to demonstrate
that ratings, reviews and comments have in fact been made, all ratings, reviews
and comments will be stored along with the identity of the party making the rating,
review or comment. However, such identifying material will not be disclosed without
permission unless deemed necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations,
governmental demands or other legal process. In the event of any legal action seeking
the identity of any person making comments, a commercially reasonable effort will
be made to contact the commenting party prior to any disclosure to give that party
a chance to object to disclosure of any identifying information.
Localloop reserves the right to request that a Registered Consumer User submit proof
of a transaction prior to the awarding of any benefit, including free dispute resolution,
rewards and points, and failure to submit such proof may result in the denial of
any or all Localloop benefits related to the transaction.
Registered User Benefits
Free Dispute Resolution
Eligible Localloop Users may contact Localloop to attempt to resolve problems
arising out of a "qualified transaction" anytime within three (3) months after the
transaction date. A "qualified transaction" is a transaction by a Localloop User
with a Localloop Certified Business Provider. An "Eligible Localloop User" is a
consumer who has (i) registered with Localloop prior to the transaction for which
mediation is being sought and (ii) has submitted a rating to Localloop regarding
the qualified transaction he or she wishes to have mediated within ninety (90) days
of the qualified transaction. If the Eligible Localloop User's efforts to resolve
the problem with the Localloop Certified Provider have been unsuccessful, the Eligible
Localloop User may make a dispute resolution request via Localloop's online dispute
resolution request form or mail to such address as Localloop may specify for such
purposes. Localloop will acknowledge its receipt of the request within three (3)
business days after receipt of the information necessary to begin the resolution
process. A Localloop Customer Service Manager will assign a 3rd-Party Dispute Resolution
Manager to review the case and make a recommendation to resolve the issue.
Localloop takes a neutral approach and relies on professional 3rd-Party Dispute
Resolution Managers to resolve disputes between Certified Businesses and Registered
Users. If the Dispute Resolution Manager finds on behalf of the Certified Business
or Registered User, we accept the decision as being fair and final. We believe that
Mandatory Dispute Resolution is fair and equitable, protecting the rights and responsibilities
of both parties in the dispute.
