We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use at any time and for any reason. You agree to waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Use to stay informed of any updates.

We provide this Site for use only by persons located in the United States and its related territories. We make no claims that this Site or any of its content is accessible or appropriate outside of the United States and its related territories.

Who We Are
DebtReliefReviews.com is an online review site created to help keep consumers educated and informed. We research and recommend services that fit the needs of a variety of individuals. We have financial relationships with some of the companies we cover which means that in certain cases we may receive an incentive if we share information with them since we are a participant in a number of affiliated marketing programs. Nonetheless, those relationships do not strictly dictate the advice and recommendations provided on our Site. The recommendations provided are produced independently by our review team based on their research and expertise and a range of criteria, including but not limited to market data, company information, years in business and user reviews. We source our user reviews from a variety of channels. Many reviews are submitted by consumers who visit our Site in the course of their research and choose to leave a review. Other reviews may be solicited by a vendor that encourages its customers to leave a review (vendors may not post reviews of their own services, nor a competitor’s product, nor on a user’s behalf or for another product from which they could receive a strategic or financial benefit). Reviews must be submitted directly by the user via our Site’s review form.
All user reviews submitted to us are subject to screening and approval. The scores and rankings of companies on our Site are calculated from our proprietary algorithm. While we endeavor to provide honest reviews and rankings, you acknowledge that; 1) information on our Site may be reliant upon third party data and contributions whereby there are certain inherent limitations as to the accuracy or currency of such information, 2) professional and other information may be incomplete or outdated, or 4) the data may contain errors, omissions or misinterpretations. A rating or review reflects our assessment of a given company based upon the information obtained by or submitted to us; someone else’s assessment of the same company may be different or based upon different information. Neither our ratings, nor any of the other information contained on our Site are an endorsement of this information. Furthermore, you should independently verify the accuracy of any information on our Site before using it and obtain independent references for any company you consider using their services.
We do not select, screen, approve, endorse or limit who can post reviews, comments, or information (collectively, “Information”). In addition, although we reserve the right to review, remove or edit any content from the Site, we do not routinely screen, monitor, or review the content of any such Information. As a result, we have no control over and do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, adequacy, applicability, completeness, currency or quality of any such Information or the qualifications of those posting such information.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guidelines require online companies to provide clear notice when a review has been submitted in exchange for a nominal incentive (whether invited by the website or by the software vendor). See https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking. Similarly, California enacted the Fair Debt Settlement Practices Act (AB 1405) which also includes provisions for online review or ranking websites.
How to Read a Review
A review expresses the opinion of a single person with experience using a certain product or service. When evaluating a product or service review, it is important to consider the following:
- Do not rely on a single review. Each reviewer’s experience is unique to their own situation. Wherever possible, take into consideration multiple reviews to develop a broad understanding of the provider’s capabilities and support.
- Evaluate reviews over time. It’s important to consider how reviews about a vendor have progressed over time to see if past issues are being resolved, and whether new issues are being addressed. More recent reviews are more likely to reflect a product’s most current set of capabilities and most relevant experiences.
User Reviews
We encourage the reviews of others. Reviews play an important part in educating potential users of services by sharing the opinions of peers and others who have relevant experiences. Reviews not only help consumers make better informed decisions but provide vendors with feedback and valuable insight about their own service. We take each review seriously and focus on creating a Site that is helpful and maintains high-quality, relevant content written and is free of conflicts of interest. As a result, our Site may invite you to chat, contribute to, or participate in blogs, message boards, online forums, and other functionality, and may provide you with the opportunity to create, submit, post, display, transmit, perform, publish, distribute, or broadcast content and materials to us or on the Site, including but not limited to text, writings, video, audio, photographs, graphics, comments, suggestions, personal information, reviews or other materials (collectively, “Contributions”). Contributions may be viewable by other users of the Site and through third-party websites. As such, any Contributions you transmit may be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.
Protecting the integrity of the reviews on our Site and our rankings is our priority. We want to see honest reviews from anyone who has interacted with a company on our site. Great reviews do more than praise or criticize a company. They illustrate an experience and show others what they can expect. We encourage people to resubmit their reviews with their most up-to-date experience.
To ensure we publish honest reviews and display fair rankings, you thereby represent and warrant that:
- The creation, distribution, transmission, public display, or performance, and the accessing, downloading, or copying of your Contributions do not and will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights of any third party.
- You have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable individual person in your Contributions to use the name or likeness of each and every such identifiable individual person to enable inclusion and use of your Contributions in any manner contemplated by our Site and these Terms of Use.
- Your Contributions are not false, inaccurate, or misleading.
- Your Contributions are not unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, pyramid schemes, chain letters, spam, mass mailings, or other forms of solicitation.
- Your Contributions are not obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, libelous, slanderous, or otherwise objectionable (as determined by us).
- Your Contributions do not ridicule, mock, disparage, intimidate, or abuse anyone.
- Your Contributions do not advocate the violent overthrow of any government or incite, encourage, or threaten physical harm against another.
- Your Contributions do not violate any applicable law, regulation, or rule.
- Your Contributions do not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party.
- Your Contributions do not contain any material that solicits personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or exploits people under the age of 18 in a sexual or violent manner.
- Your Contributions do not violate any applicable law concerning child pornography, or otherwise intended to protect the health or well-being of minors.
- Your Contributions do not include any offensive comments that are connected to race, national origin, gender, sexual preference, or physical handicap.
- You will not take any action or assist, encourage, induce, or request that anyone else take any action which may impair or negatively affect the visibility or ranking of our pages in search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, or the like. You will not insert or cause to be inserted any HTML, JavaScript, PERL, or any other form of computer code into any data field or into any webpage on our Site. You will not do, or aid anyone else in doing, anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working of our Site, such as a denial-of-service attack.
- You are the creator and/or owner of or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, releases, and permissions to use and grant, to us an unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide right, and license to host, use, copy, reproduce, disclose, sell, resell, publish, broadcast, retitle, archive, store, cache, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, transmit, excerpt (in whole or in part), and distribute such Contributions (including, without limitation, your image and voice) for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Contributions, and grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. The use and distribution may occur in any media formats and through any media channels. This license will apply to any form, media, or technology now known or hereafter developed, and includes our use of your name, company name, and franchise name, as applicable, and any of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, and personal and commercial images you provide.
- You are solely responsible for your Contributions to our Site and you expressly agree to exonerate us from any and all responsibility and to refrain from any legal action against us regarding your Contributions.
We have the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, (1) to edit, redact, or otherwise change any Contributions; (2) to re-categorize any Contributions to place them in more appropriate locations on the Site; and (3) to pre-screen or delete any Contributions at any time and for any reason, without notice.
Similarly, if you believe someone else’s review violates our guidelines or is fraudulent or otherwise inappropriate, please report it by notifying us at Contact Us below. Along with the indication that you would like to flag a review, please provide a link to the product page, details about the review in question, and all facts that would help our team in their investigation. Our reviews team will evaluate the review to determine if it meets our Site guidelines. If the team determines the review does not meet our guidelines, it will be removed from our Site. If the review meets our guidelines, it will remain published. While we may investigate the legitimacy of a review if a concern has been raised, any decision about the review is made by the review investigation team alone, independent of the source of the request. A “flag” request will only ensure an investigation from our reviews team and is not a guarantee for removal. All requests will be evaluated in the order they come in, and no further action is required on the part of the requestor.
As a neutral content platform, we will not make subjective decisions as to the intent and opinions expressed in the content of any review. We do not facilitate arbitration. We are not mediators and will not intervene in disputes between our reviewers and vendors. Most investigations are concluded within a week but may be extended to allow for the research and outreach necessary to make an informed decision. During the investigation, the review at issue will remain published and visible. In order to prevent false accusations from manipulating the overall reviews scores received, we do not remove reviews during investigation.
Tips for Writing a Good Review
The reviews posted on our Site help guide consumers to select the services that best meets their needs. You should consider these tips when writing your own review:
- Be specific. What services did you enjoy? Instead of just saying that you like the product, explain why. Use clear examples of specific experiences – the more details, the better.
- Be readable. Reviews need to be readable for others. Use proper grammar, without excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
- Be objective. Try to highlight both positives and negatives in your review, even if your experience skews heavily in one direction.
- Be recent. The best reviews are those written within a recent period of time of experiencing the services.
- Be relevant. We provide an open forum, but please keep your review useful to other consumers. Avoid off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience using the services.
- Do not have a conflict of interest with the service being reviewed. Vendors, their employees, or anyone with a financial interest in the success of a product are not allowed to review their own product or a competitor’s product.
- Post your own review. We do not allow reviews to be posted on another’s behalf.
- Reviews must contain original content. We do not allow reviews to be copied from another source, including our own Site.
- Reviews must provide honest feedback about the product being reviewed and must not be used to deliberately promote or disparage another product. Reference to other services or vendors other than the service being reviewed is permitted only when the reference is intended to add value to the review.
- Reviews must not include others’ personal information. We do not allow reviews to contain information that can be used to identify an individual or otherwise compromise their privacy.
- Reviews must not accuse or make reports of unproven criminal activity. We do not allow references to criminal activity in our reviews. An example of what we would not allow would be a direct accusation of theft (i.e. “This company stole my customer list”, or “We have a lawsuit filed against this company.”), but would not include spurious statements (i.e. “This company ripped me off”, “Beware of their scam-like practices”, or “They are fraudsters and not to be trusted”). Our team is not qualified to make a decision as to the truthfulness of a legal accusation.
