The advertisements published on the Raayi Platform are independent of the reviews received by such advertisers.
- We are a neutral platform and we don’t arbitrate disputes, however in case if someone writes a review that the business does not consider to be true, the best option for the business representative would be to contact the reviewer or post a public response in order to clear up any misunderstandings. If the business believes that any particular user’s review violates any of the Raayi’ policies, the business may write to us at [email protected] and bring such violation to our attention. Raayi may remove the review in its sole discretion if review is in violation of the Terms, or content guidelines and policies or otherwise harmful to the Services.
