NetNeutrals.com is an informal dispute resolution program. By participating in NetNeutrals.com’s dispute resolution process, you agree to act in good faith, which includes taking reasonable steps to achieve a fair and expeditious resolution of the dispute.  You also agree to abide by the Neutral’s decision in the case of Independent Feedback Review (IFR).  IFR decisions are final and are not subject to negotiation or appeal.  In IFR, the Neutral has authority only to determine whether the feedback left following an eBay transaction meets eBay’s guidelines for rating withdrawal.  IFR does not include the authority to require any party to take additional action, including remedying a concern or compensating another party.

NetNeutrals.com insists users post comments that offer significant information concerning the item transaction, feedback, and settlement requests or offers.  NetNeutrals.com does not condone the use of obscene or offensive language, threats, or accusations.  NetNeutrals.com encourages users to utilize the Forum to the best of their ability by submitting details of the dispute and evidence as to why the feedback does or does not meet the criteria for removal.

NetNeutrals.com takes reasonable measures to authenticate and confirm the identities of the parties participating in this dispute resolution process. By participating in this process, you affirm that you are a party to the dispute or an agent authorized to act on behalf of a party to the dispute.  Evidence that the dispute resolution process was managed by someone not authorized to act on behalf of a party may result in the IFR decision becoming void.
