What is Blys' dispute resolution process for professionals?

Modified on Mon, 8 Apr at 1:01 PM

Despite having the best intentions, sometimes things don't go to plan and disputes between clients and professionals may arise.


As an online marketplace that connects clients and professionals, Blys always encourages parties to resolve disputes between themselves first. However, in the event that an agreement can't be reached between parties and in an effort to reach an outcome, Blys offers dispute resolution support.


Here's how the Blys Dispute Resolution Process works:



1) Blys collects information from both parties


As a company that promotes trust and fairness in our community, we care deeply about forming an objective view of any dispute – so we contact both parties to collect information, to hear each side of the story. This information is often collected via email however we may call as well. These calls are recorded for future reference and as evidence.


Some of the questions we may ask are – how the appointment went if they’ve observed any specific behaviour or activity during the appointment that may have resulted in negative feedback or experience.


Please note that we may, at our absolute discretion, temporarily deactivate user accounts during this process.


Please also note that sometimes clients prefer to remain anonymous for privacy reasons so we may share your client's feedback with you anonymously. This information (including contact details of parties) may be made available to authorities if either party decides to take the matter further to their local court at their own cost.



2) Blys reviews the details


We review information and evidence provided by both parties, including the details of the booking (including in-app messaging logs), accounts in dispute (including past bookings and reviews history).



3) Blys makes a decision


Based on this information and evidence, and as an impartial evaluator of the claims / dispute, Blys then makes a final decision and communicates this decision to both parties.


In the very unlike event and depending on the severity of the claim, Blys may permanently suspend accounts and revoke client's and/or professional's access to our platform if we deem, in our absolute discretion, that's the right thing to do for our community. We may also report the complaint / incident to the relevant industry body (e.g. Health Commissioner) and / or local police.
