nichemarket is a community-driven website, and we rely on you for content. All content on business listings, reviews and comments are all 100% user generated and therefore we need you to help verify the legitimacy of claims.

Ratings and reviews are an essential part of the nichemarket ecosystem. Making sure our reviews are honest and helpful means a lot to us and we are sure it means a lot to you too. So to preserve the quality of reviews we've set up a few guidelines. 

If you believe someone is acting unethically and trying to sabotage your business with false claims that are negative reviews, you can dispute the comments made, and if proven false we will be more than happy to remove a review from your profile.

Yes, you can. Firstly you will need to contact the person in question yourself and try to resolve the issue. If you can prove through written documentation that the person placing the review is acting unethically and has no justification for their claims you can file a dispute by contacting us directly.

It's not always the consumer that is at fault, and we realise businesses can also act irresponsibly. It's up to our community of nichemarketers and nicheseekers to help us stamp out any such behaviour and promote honest trade. 

Firstly you will need to contact the person in question yourself and try to resolve the issue. If you can prove through written documentation that the person placing the review is acting unethically and has no justification for their claims you can file a dispute by contacting us directly. If you're a registered business, please provide documentation that you are the owner/director of the company.
