Conditions for publishing customer reviews

Flakon offers on its site the possibility for our customers to rate the products we offer and to post reviews via the various forms of our partner platforms (Judge.me, TrustPilot, Google Review, etc.)

The posting of a review by an Internet user on the descriptive sheet of a product presupposes prior acceptance and compliance with these conditions of use.

Mindset

The main objective of the possibility of giving one's opinion on the site www.flakon.fr is to create a space for expression and contribution to Internet users in relation to the products they buy and which they know, in order to allow them to freely give their opinion and inform buyers of the site in a fair and constructive spirit .

The goal is therefore to bring out opinions, to respect points of view and to allow Internet users to form an opinion.

Filing of opinions

There are two ways to leave comments on the site:

The “verified purchase” opinion: opinion requested by Flakon via a form via a solution specialized in collecting customer opinions such as TrustPilot or Judge.me, sent by email following a purchase on our site.

Unverified review: review left directly on our site, flakon.fr, via the “Reviews” page or indirectly on Flakon review pages on the internet (Judge.Me, TrustPilot, Google, etc.)

The opinion, verified as unverified, is then subject to moderation following the rules described below.

Customers who submit an opinion must respect the following conditions: be a natural person, not be in a conflict of interest situation and have had personal experience of consuming the product on which their opinion relates.

Additionally, reviews must:

  • Not be defamatory, insulting, obscene, offensive, violent or inciting violence, political, racist or xenophobic and generally contrary to the laws and regulations in force, the rights of individuals or good morals;
  • Do not refer to or mention the opinions of other Internet users;
  • Do not reveal all or part of the premium content online;
  • Not to be used for personal or professional purposes, particularly advertising;
  • Do not contain personal data;

Flakon reserves the right to contact the author of the review for verification purposes in the event of doubt about the authenticity of the reviews.

After moderation, “verified purchase” reviews are displayed on the product description sheets, in the “Customer Reviews” tab and on the general “Reviews” page. Unverified reviews are only displayed on the general “Reviews” page.

No consideration is provided by Flakon in exchange for posting reviews with the exception of possible future and temporary promotional codes as an incentive to attach photographs to support the authenticity of the reviews posted. Furthermore, the author of a review will never be asked for compensation of any type, financial or in kind, in exchange for the modification or deletion of his review.

Review ranking

Reviews are categorized by default to highlight product photos to help the consumer form a real opinion on what they will receive. Reviews may also be listed in another order, such as newest first, highest ratings first, worst first, most helpful (i.e. by popularity), or videos first.

Publication and retention deadlines

Publication is instantaneous for all reviews, whether positive or negative.

Flakon undertakes through its partner not to retain indefinitely the personal data of consumers issuing a customer review via the solutions offered.

To this end, Flakon, via its partner, anonymizes customer reviews by only allowing the display of the first names and initials of the depositaries.

Moderation

Comments and opinions are subject to moderation.

Moderation is a process following the publication of a notice which aims to guarantee compliance of the content collected with French law.

As such, rating partners such as Judge.me undertake to respect these regulations as well as the AFNOR NF Z74-501 standard but also the general conditions of use available on their site .

Moderation aims to verify this compliance with a view to maintaining or removing said content.

Thus, Flakon reserves the right to delete at any time, comments or opinions including personal information relating to the author of the comment or any third party or opinions containing insulting or defamatory remarks against the author or to any legal or natural person or which would be contrary to the law and in particular defamatory, violent, racist, pedophilic remarks, calling for murder or suicide, inciting hatred or discrimination. The content of seller reviews must not infringe copyright or any third party rights.

Opinions may also be subject to refusal of publication for the following reasons:

  • The rating does not match the comment.
  • Text content contains random characters or is poorly written to the point of being unintelligible.
  • The description elements of the product characteristics are not provided.
  • The content is unrelated to the rated product.
  • The textual content contains personal information or any other information likely to result in identity theft: the first or last name of individuals who are not public persons, a telephone number, a specific physical address or an address email, a credit card number, social security number, bank account number or any other information that could lead to identity theft.
  • The textual content encourages a purchase from a competitor.
  • The text content indicates that the user has not yet tested the product.
  • The content contains insults or profanity.
  • The attributes of the opinion include concrete elements of conflicts of interest.
  • A user makes an inappropriate comment on other content or its author.
  • The textual content is clearly spam or mentions websites, URLs including those of the customer or manufacturer.
  • The textual content contains a call for legal action.
  • Customer service intervened in the handling of the dispute, the customer is invited to update his opinion.
  • The consumer contacted the review manager to delete or modify their review.
