FeedbackHall is a community of consumers sharing their experiences of products and services offered in Nigerian markets - made in Nigeria or not. These experiences could be positive or negative. With feedbackhall online platforms, sharing product experience is easy; consumers can share experiences when they are relaxing, working, playing or shopping! The service is open to everyone and every business free.
FeedbackHall was established to:
Incorporated in October, 2017 and launched on August 9, 2018
No. Feedbackhall is a limited liability company.
Not exactly but feedbackhall complements the services of the FCCPC and provides data and information that FCCPC could use in delivering its mandates. Both are similar because they are interested in empowering and protecting consumers but they do not perform these functions in exactly the same way. Feedbackhall is a social media that empowers and protects consumers by making available information consumers need to make the right purchase decisions. It brings consumers together in a community to influence each other’s decisions through experience sharing and by so doing, build a force that is powerful enough to make businesses effect the change they want. FCCPC, on the other hand, is a government-established organisation that protects consumers by taking both preventive and remedial measures. Therefore, FCCPC also uses consumer complaints to help them get redress.

Feedbackhall’s homepage – When you give your feedback, it appears at the ‘Recent activity’ section on the Feedbackhall’s home page immediately you hit the “Post-review’ button.

Sometimes, feedback are temporarily taken down from feedbackhall for investigation. This happens when a feedback is reported by other users or by our compliance team when they believe a feedback is fake or when they think a feedback has not followed our Content Guidelines.

Trust is foundational to the success of feedbackhall. We know this and we are committed to being extremely reliable. Here are some reasons you can trust what you find on feedbackhall:
Feedbackhall does not select most liked products. They are generated automatically by aggregating scores assigned to the products by the users, so Most Liked products could change anytime, depending on consumer ratings. The product with the highest score automatically becomes the most liked. Because this section is automated, businesses cannot request for their products to become the most liked.
No No and No. Paying for advertisement does not allow a business to manipulate its feedback and ratings. Any business paying to place advertisement on feedbackhall will get advertisement on feedbackhall only. Feedbackhall will never skew things in favour of company advertising or against those that do not advertise because we believe that a business can choose any advertising platform it believes is best for its product or service. Advertising businesses have no control over their feedback and ratings and, there is no amount of money that can buy the integrity of the leadership of feedbackhall.
Feedbackhall only guarantees effective advertising as its adverts can put a business right before consumers searching for what it offers.
Feedbackhall will generate revenue from commercial activities such as placement of advertisements and annual reports. Feedbackhall does not take financial support from companies, especially those whose products and services are rated on the platform but feedbackhall can collaborate with businesses to reward users of the feedbackhall platforms or help them remedy a bad experience.
At the moment, feedbackhall is focused on making its services worthwhile
NO. it is not only important, but also a legal right and duty of consumers to be able to find, read and share experiences about goods and services available in the markets. Responsible customers are expected to provide feedback on products they use and Feedbackhall publishes business information to enable consumers do all of the above. If you need to update or change the information on your business page, please send a mail to compliance@feedbackhall.com with details of the request.
Besides, being on feedbackhall makes your business visible so you can find new customers. Secondly, on feedbackhall, you get feedback from your customers, free which you can use to make targeted improvements and grow better.
Well, it’s not a bad idea to discuss your worries with a lawyer but we would like you to understand that feedbackhall is not responsible for the experiences your customers have. Also, consumers have both right and responsibility to provide feedback on your product or service which they have used. You may want to save your business unnecessary noise and attention as well as cost that come with lawsuit because you may end up paying feedbackhall’s legal bills at the end of the case.
If you find any negative feedback on your board and think it is fake, please report it. We would pull it down and investigate. If we find the feedback to be real, we would reactivate it and if otherwise, we would remove it permanently. On the other hand, if you think the feedback may be true, please respond to the feedback accordingly. Read ‘Business support’ for our suggestions about responding to customer feedback.
consumers, like everyone else, have freedom of speech both online and offline and they have a right to express their opinions. Beyond rights, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission of Nigeria, and the International Law on Consumer Protection regard it as a responsibility for a consumer to provide feedback to businesses on goods and services they patronize. specifically, it states that consumers have a responsibility to speak out (inform manufacturers and government of your needs and expectations); to complain (inform businesses and appropriate regulatory authorities about your dissatisfaction with a product or service, in a fair and honest manner) and to share experience (inform other consumers about your experience with a product or service)

Based on these, we do not believe that any business wanting to solve its problem in the court will succeed. However, if a business threatens you with a lawsuit, check your feedback again and make sure the facts are correct and that you can stand behind your views. If you are not sure, we suggest you send a mail to us at contact@feedbackhall.com, requesting to remove the feedback. Feedbackhall will support you as much as it can.
Please send a mail to compliance@feedbackhall.com if you have evidence that a business is trying to create fake reputation on feedbackhall by paying people to write positive feedback. feedbackhall considers this action both unethical and illegal.
Feedbackhall is intended to be a safe and fun place where consumers connect with each other as well as connect with businesses. So, if anyone is making you feel unsafe or worrying you, please send a mail to compliance@feedbackhall.com with some evidence.
As in our disclaimer, feedbackhall provides the platform for the sharing but customers of the various products and services ultimately own the contents they post. We encourage our users to post feedback that are GICO (Genuine, independent, comprehensive and objective), if you have any concerns about a feedback or a photo, please contact our compliance team on compliance@feedbackhall.com
One of the goals of feedbackhall is to strengthen the conversation between producers/service providers and their customers. Based on this, we encourage friendly conversations both online and offline. However, these conversations could become unfriendly or uncomfortable. We encourage you to be genuine and honest at all times and stand behind your feedback and not write anything under pressure.
You cannot edit your feedback 15 minutes after you post it but you can write another feedback to update your previous feedback. We suggest you do this only when you have a new information or experience that need to be known. It is a violation of our policies for a business to pay people to write an update or to reward them when they update their feedback. It is also a violation of our polices to accept such payments or rewards.
A customer can ask for a refund to remedy a bad experience but definitely, it is a serious offence for a user to threaten a business with negative feedback or offering to update negative feedback they’ve already posted as a way to extract payment. If a business encounters such a user, please contact our compliance team on compliance@feedbackhall.com with hard evidence and we shall take appropriate actions.
If we confirm that a feedback is false and defamatory, we will remove it. If you find such feedback, please report them by sending a mail to compliance@feedbackhall.com. Our compliance team would need some evidence. We encourage Business owners to use their business accounts to respond publicly or directly to any inaccuracies in the feedback.
