Rules & Guidelines By participating in the NetNeutrals.com dispute resolution process, you agree to abide by the following Rules & Guidelines. NetNeutrals.com is an informal dispute resolution program. By participating in NetNeutrals.com’s dispute resolution process (including direct negotiation, mediation, voluntary arbitration, and/or independent feedback review) you agree to act in good faith, which includes taking reasonable steps to achieve a fair and expeditious resolution of the dispute. Additionally, by participating in the process you agree to make a reasonable effort to complete the actions outlined in a completed and accepted Mediated Agreement. You also agree to abide by the Neutral’s decision in the case of Voluntary Arbitration or Independent Feedback Review (IFR). Voluntary Arbitration and 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. Voluntary Arbitration is a voluntary process that is binding on both parties. By agreeing to participate in Voluntary Arbitration, both parties agree to be bound by the Neutral’s decision and fully comply with the outcome. Voluntary Arbitration decisions may include descoring negative feedback, a full or partial refund to one or both party for costs actually incurred (not to exceed 150% of the purchase price of the item), replacement or repair of an item if feasible, and/or no additional action to be taken by one or both parties. Voluntary Arbitration decisions cannot include compensation for time, pain and suffering, attorney fees, or other damages. 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 suggestions for resolution.
