Business using the InHero platform agree to adhere to the Terms of Service of all major review sites. This includes but not limited to Google, Facebook, Yelp, and other review sites.

Review gating: Businesses using InHero cannot implement any form of review gating. Review gating is a process where companies send a message to customers asking if their experience was positive or negative. Those who had a positive experience are directed to leave an online review. Those who had a negative experience are typically sent to a form to leave comments that are not made public. When soliciting reviews using the InHero platform, businesses must provide all recipients the same options to provide feedback, regardless of their sentiment. This applies to review requests sent via standard review templates, custom email templates, and surveys.

Sites prohibiting solicitation of reviews: Businesses using InHero will fully comply with sites such as Yelp that prohibit review solicitation, and will not misuse the InHero platform to bypass review sites’ policies.

Failure to comply with 3rd Party Review site policies: If a business attempts to circumvent the Terms of Service of 3rd party review sites, InHero will notify the business and allow them 30 days take corrective action. Should the business fail to comply within the 30-day notice period, their account will be suspended from InHero.
