Who we are

Jewellers Reviews operates the website at jewellersreviews.com — a consumer review platform that allows members of the public to read and submit reviews of jewellery businesses. We are the operator of the Platform and the publisher of content moderated and approved for display on it.

We are not a jewellery retailer, a jewellery broker, or a party to any transaction between a buyer and a jeweller. We do not sell, stock, or endorse any jewellery product. Our role is solely to provide a platform for the exchange of consumer information and reviews.

Section 03

User accounts

Registration

Certain features of the Platform — including submitting reviews, claiming a business profile, and responding to reviews — require you to register for an account. When registering, you must provide accurate, complete, and current information.

Account security

  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account
  • You must notify us immediately at contact@jewellersreviews.com if you become aware of any unauthorised access to or use of your account
  • You must not share your account with any other person or allow others to use your account to submit reviews or manage a business profile
  • We reserve the right to disable any account we reasonably believe has been compromised or is being used in breach of these Terms

One account per person

Each individual may hold only one reviewer account. Creating multiple accounts — whether to circumvent a suspension, submit additional reviews, or for any other purpose — is a breach of these Terms and may result in permanent exclusion from the Platform.

Section 04

Using the Platform

The Platform is provided for personal, non-commercial use to help individuals research jewellery businesses and share their genuine purchasing experiences. You may access, read, and share content on the Platform for lawful purposes consistent with these Terms.

✓ You may
  • Browse and read all publicly available reviews and business listings
  • Share links to Platform pages on social media or other websites

Section 05

Submitting reviews

Eligibility

You may only submit a review if you have had a genuine, first-hand purchasing or service experience with the jeweller you are reviewing. Reviews on behalf of others, reviews of businesses you have not personally used, and reviews submitted in exchange for any benefit are prohibited.

Accuracy and honesty

By submitting a review, you represent and warrant that:

  • The review is based on your own genuine experience and reflects your honest opinion
  • All factual statements in your review are true and accurate to the best of your knowledge
  • You have not been offered or received any incentive — financial or otherwise — in exchange for submitting the review
  • You are not an employee, owner, investor, or close associate of the business you are reviewing
  • You are not a competitor of the business you are reviewing, and you have not been directed by a competitor to write the review

Content standards

All reviews must comply with our Review Guidelines, which form part of these Terms. Reviews that breach our guidelines will be removed. You acknowledge that we have sole discretion over whether a review meets our standards.

⚖️ Submitting a false, fabricated, or maliciously misleading review may constitute a criminal offence under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. We will cooperate fully with law enforcement investigations into review fraud.
Section 06

Business profiles & claims

Business listings

Jewellery businesses may appear on the Platform in our directory whether or not they have claimed their profile. Business information sourced from public records is provided for informational purposes. If you are a business owner and believe your listing contains inaccurate information, you may claim your profile to update it.

Claiming a profile

Verified business owners may claim their business profile subject to completing our identity and business verification process. By claiming a profile, you represent that you are authorised to act on behalf of the business.

  • Claimed profiles allow you to update business information, respond to reviews, and receive notifications of new reviews
  • Profile claim status is indicated by a "Verified" badge — this denotes that ownership has been confirmed, not that the business is endorsed or recommended by Jewellers Reviews
  • You must keep your claimed profile information accurate and up to date
  • Claiming a profile does not give you the right to demand removal of reviews, suppress negative feedback, or alter your star rating

Business responses

Verified owners may respond publicly to reviews on their profile. Responses must comply with our Review Guidelines. We reserve the right to remove responses that violate our standards. Businesses may not use their response capability to threaten reviewers, make defamatory statements, or engage in promotional advertising.

💡 Jewellers Reviews is a free service for business listings. We offer no paid tier that guarantees better placement, higher ratings, or fewer critical reviews. All ratings are calculated solely from verified user submissions.
Section 07

Content ownership & licence

Your content

You retain ownership of any review, photo, or other content you submit to the Platform ("Your Content"). You are solely responsible for Your Content and the consequences of submitting it.
