Our Reviews Program:

How the Program Works:

Our Site and Services are powered by User Reviews. We encourage those who desire to share their experience regarding a software product, service or vendor to submit reviews on our Site. You acknowledge and agree that we as the website operator are merely providing a platform for these User Reviews; and that all such User Reviews represent the opinions of the reviewers of those products, services or vendors and not those of us. From time to time, we may provide nominal incentives (such as gift cards) to encourage submission of reviews, regardless of whether the content of the review is positive or negative. We provide clear notice on our Site when a reviewer has been offered a nominal incentive for submitting an honest review. Users are encouraged to read the content of any code of conduct applicable in their employing company in order to verify whether they must declare all incentives and the amount of the incentives they can accept. Users may opt to post their review anonymously but must submit sufficient information for our Quality Assurance team to verify their identity. While a reviewer may choose not to share Personal Information with the public, their identity is always verified by our Quality Assurance team before we permit their review to be published.

Our Community Guidelines:

When participating in our Reviews Program, you (whether a software buyer, vendor or reviewer) will be given the opportunity at the point of review submission to acknowledge and agree to adhere to our Community Guidelines. Our Community Guidelines set forth the rules of play for users, reviewers and vendors. This includes the QA process, the guidelines each review must meet and the process for flagging reviews for investigation. As a neutral content platform, we will only remove reviews that, at our discretion, do not meet our guidelines. Our Community Guidelines further outline the protections we put in place to maintain high-quality, trusted reviews, as well as the respective rights of reviewers and vendors.
