User Review Policies

By using Comforhome, you acknowledge and agree to abide by our user review policies. Reviews include a rating of 1 to 5 stars and reasons supporting your evaluation. Your review, username, profile photo (if available), and the listing category of the seller will be publicly displayed.

It is essential to leave user reviews in good faith, ensuring a fair representation of your interaction with the other user. When leaving a review on another user’s account, please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Be truthful and accurately depict what transpired between you and the other user.
2. Do not use reviews as a means to harass or abuse another user.
3. Avoid using reviews to manipulate or mislead other users.
4. Fixed Reviews: Once submitted, users cannot edit or remove reviews. This policy ensures the integrity of the review system.

We reserve the right to remove any reviews that violate our policies or guidelines. To maintain the integrity of the review system, users are unable to edit or remove reviews on their own profile or someone else’s. Additionally, Comforhome does not mediate review-related disputes.

Please keep in mind that user reviews reflect the opinions of individual Comforhome users and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Comforhome.

Linking to a Website

Including a link to your website is permitted for the following purposes:

• Directing users to additional product information
• Providing access to a page with more pictures
• Offering an alternative contact method on a separate page

Please note that your listings must pertain to a specific service. Listings solely intended to redirect traffic to another website are not permitted on Comforhome.

Furthermore, it is prohibited to include a URL within an image of the item or promote referral codes for the purpose of gaining referral credit.

Posting Duplicate Listings

By listing on Comforhome, you seek prompt results. We share the same desire! To facilitate this, kindly consider the following recommendations:

• Avoid posting duplicate listings in one or multiple categories, as they can frustrate our user community. If uncertain about the appropriate category, please search for similar listings to determine their placement. Attempting to post another listing duplicate will trigger our automated filters, resulting in their removal.
• For enhanced exposure, post your listing within your region. Posting in multiple areas is acceptable, primarily if you reside near two areas. It is crucial to remember that potential buyers are willing to use the Provincial search or distance search feature to locate listings. Hence, posting a single listing is generally as effective as multiple listings within your region.

Important Note:

• We retain the right to remove ads that impede the user experience.
• Listings in all Service categories should be concise. Include all aspects of a service within a single listing rather than creating separate listings for each service.

Age Restrictions

At Comforhome, we prioritize the safety of your entire family. We recognize that in today’s digital age, children spend more time on the internet, and online classifieds can offer an exciting avenue to discover toys, video games, clothing, and other interesting items.

While we take pride in being a website suitable for the entire family, we are fully aware of the potential risks associated with online transactions. To ensure the utmost safety, we kindly request that individuals under the age of 16 have their parent or guardian handle any responses to ads they find intriguing. Furthermore, should you wish to post an ad on Comforhome, please have your parent or guardian do so on your behalf to facilitate their direct involvement in the transaction.

Please be informed that Comforhome reserves the right to remove any ads and listings that we believe are not in the best interest of our users’ safety.
