Effective Date: 1/1/2025
Applies To: All vendors and service providers operating on CuteMesh.com

CuteMesh.com is committed to creating a safe, trusted, and professional environment for buyers and vendors. Exceptional customer service is at the heart of buyer confidence and repeat business. This document outlines the customer service standards and expectations that all vendors must follow to remain in good standing on our platform.

1. Communication Standards

Vendors must:

• Respond to customer messages within 24 hours
  
• Use clear, polite, and professional language
  
• Avoid slang, emojis (unless appropriate), or aggressive tone
  
• Be patient and respectful, even when resolving disputes
  
• Keep all communication on-platform to protect both parties 

Do:

• Acknowledge questions even if you need more time to answer
• Use greetings and closings (“Hello,” “Thanks for reaching out,” etc.)
• Confirm order details when replying to inquiries

Don’t:

• Ignore buyer messages
• Use threats, sarcasm, or blame
• Request off-platform payments or personal contact info

2. Order Fulfillment & Timeliness

Marketplace & Auction Sales

• Ship within the processing time stated in your listing
  
• Update tracking information (if applicable)
  
• Notify customers of delays as soon as possible 

Services / Freelance

• Deliver by the promised turnaround time
  
• Break large projects into milestones where applicable
  
• Provide updates or previews for long-term services 

Rentals, Events, Grocery

• Be available or accessible during stated delivery windows
  
• Confirm logistics (e.g., pickup time, access to venue, delivery zone)
  
• Communicate clearly about cancellations or changes 

Failure to fulfill orders, deliver services, or meet time commitments may result in negative reviews, disputes, or account penalties.

3. Product/Service Accuracy

Your listings must reflect:

• Exactly what the customer will receive
  
• Accurate photos, descriptions, sizing, ingredients, features, or service scope
  
• Applicable terms, refund conditions, or limitations 

If a customer receives something materially different than described, you must:

• Accept returns or issue partial/full refunds (depending on the case)
  
• Offer a polite apology and resolution
  
• Avoid blaming the buyer for your listing error 

4. Handling Complaints, Refunds & Returns

• Always aim for resolution over resistance
  
• Listen to the buyer’s concern without defensiveness
  
• Offer a solution within 48 hours (replacement, refund, revision, etc.)
  
• Adhere to the return/refund policy stated in your listing and platform policy 

CuteMesh.com may intervene in unresolved cases and reserves the right to refund the buyer directly and charge the vendor.

5. Professional Conduct

All vendors are expected to:

• Treat all customers with dignity and fairness
  
• Refrain from discrimination, harassment, or retaliation
  
• Respect cultural and language differences
  
• Remain accountable for all services and goods sold 

Vendors who use abusive language, display unethical behavior, or retaliate against negative reviews will be subject to warnings, suspension, or permanent removal.

6. After-Sale Service & Follow-Up

Strong vendors:

• Send a thank-you message after a completed order
  
• Offer troubleshooting help, user guides, or care instructions
  
• Invite feedback politely (but never request positive reviews in exchange for perks) 

For services, you may:

• Provide follow-up support for minor issues (within reason)
  
• Offer related services or discounts for returning clients 

7. Communication During Disputes

In case of disputes:

• Stay calm, factual, and solution-oriented
  
• Provide screenshots, delivery proof, or service logs when requested
  
• Refrain from threatening legal action or public shaming
  
• Let platform moderators intervene if resolution isn’t possible directly 

8. Performance Monitoring & Penalties
