COMPLAINTS PROCESS

How to Submit a Complaint

If you have feedback or a complaint about your experience using the HEVO App, please contact us:

Email: support@hevo.app
Web: hevo.app

Acknowledgment Timeframe

We seek to acknowledge and resolve all complaints as promptly as possible. We will acknowledge your complaint within 7 business days (but if you contact us by mail, we will mail our acknowledgment to you within 7 business days after we receive it).

Assessment and Prioritization

We assess each complaint received to determine the most appropriate response and prioritize addressing complaints that we consider require urgent action.

Resolution Process

Where possible, complaints will be resolved at the first point of contact. If we are unable to resolve your complaint immediately, we will provide you with a contact person and an estimated timeframe for resolving your complaint. We seek to resolve a majority of complaints within 14 business days after receiving it. However for more complex complaints we will contact you to explain why the investigation requires more time to be resolved. We will keep a record of the investigation and the relevant circumstances and information surrounding your complaint.

Investigation Conclusion

At the conclusion of our investigation we will contact you to explain our investigation and any responsive actions we have taken or intend to take. If we contact you by telephone, you may request a written summary of our investigation and our response during that discussion. If you are satisfied with our investigation and response we will note your complaint as being resolved and close it in our system.

External Resolution

While we use our best endeavors to resolve all complaints directly, if we cannot resolve the complaint to your satisfaction after prudent escalation within our business, you may choose to make a complaint to a relevant industry regulator in your jurisdiction.
