To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Premium hike

Premium hike
Why have they jumped from £26 per month to £146.00. We had a claim, that was found not to be our fault- yet the premium's have been hiked?
