Customer Service
We are committed to providing a high standard of service to all our customers and treating them fairly. There may be times when you don't feel we've lived up to this. If this happens, we want to hear from you. Letting us know when you're unhappy with the service you experience gives us the opportunity to put matters right and to improve our service in the future for everybody. Our dedicated staff are committed to working with you on your complaint and resolving it. You can share your concerns with them by emailing us.
In relation to complaints regarding our retail products and services (e.g. product quality, delivery), under the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015, if we cannot resolve a complaint using our internal complaints procedure, we must inform you: (i) that the matter cannot be settled, (ii) the name and website address of a relevant provider of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services, and (iii) whether we (Vertbaudet) are obliged to or prepared to make use of the relevant ADR provider. We are not obliged to use an ADR provider and, as we receive few complaints that are not ultimately resolved, we have decided not to pay to subscribe to an ADR scheme at this stage. We do, however, have a “Primary Authority” arrangement with West Yorkshire Trading Standards and customers can seek advice and information about their rights from Citizens Advice: www.citizensadvice.org.uk. We are committed to providing a high standard of service and treating our customers fairly.
