User Reviews

Ukiyoto is a neutral platform, which solely provides a means of communication between users/reviewers including users or trainers/tutors with access to their institutional advertising page. The advertisements on Ukiyoto are published on an independent basis and there is no relation between the reviews of advertisers those who have advertised on the Services. We are a neutral platform and we don’t arbitrate disputes, however in case if someone writes a review that isn’t true about the trainer/tutor or event organiser, the best option for the latter would be to contact the reviewer or post a public response in order to clear up any misunderstandings. If a user or event organiser believes that any particular user’s review violates Ukiyoto’s Policy, he can flag the review to our attention. Ukiyoto may remove the review in its sole discretion if review is in violation of the Terms, or content guidelines and policies or otherwise harmful to the Services.
