Any unauthorised reproduction, representation or use is prohibited and may give rise to both civil and criminal liability on the part of the offender.

  • defamatory, abusive or discriminatory content

  • promotional content

  • content unrelated to a real experience

9. Moderation

All reviews are subject to prior moderation before publication.

Moderation is intended to ensure:

  • compliance with the law and the platform’s rules

  • relevance

  • the absence of abusive, defamatory, unlawful or off-topic content

  • compliance with editorial rules and legal obligations

Negative reviews are not removed simply because they express criticism.

Each moderation decision is traceable.

No negative review is removed because of the opinion it expresses.

Review collection, verification and publication practices are carried out in line with the principles of transparency, fairness and independence recognised by European professional standards and the recommendations of the French Advertising Standards Authority (ARPP).

10. Use of reviews

Published reviews may be used in communication materials, provided that:

  • transparency requirements are respected

  • the source is indicated

  • the date and the number of reviews collected are mentioned where required

TV Reviewers ensures compliance with professional recommendations regarding the use of study results and consumer reviews.

11. Rights of use of reviews

By publishing a review on the TV Reviewers platform, the user authorises BuyTryShare SASU to reproduce, display and distribute that review, in whole or in part, as part of the communication of partner brands.

This authorisation is granted:

  • free of charge

  • worldwide

  • for the full legal term of copyright protection

  • across all media, including television, digital platforms, social media, press and advertising materials

In order to guarantee the authenticity and transparency of reviews, they may be accompanied by the author’s first name and city or region, unless the user expressly requests otherwise.

Reviews may also be anonymised or presented in aggregated form (score, average rating, summary), in compliance with the applicable regulations.

The user retains the intellectual property rights in their review.

BuyTryShare undertakes not to alter the meaning of the published statements and to respect the integrity of the content. No review may be used outside the context of the relevant product or service.

12. Withdrawal, modification and deletion

The user may request the deletion of their review at any time via the contact form.

Deleting a review will result in its removal from digital media under BuyTryShare’s control within a reasonable period of time.

However, if the review has already been used as part of an advertising campaign (including, in particular, a television campaign), its removal cannot have retroactive effect on media that has already been distributed.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect any prior use that was duly authorised.

13. Authenticity and verification of reviews

Only consumers who have actually purchased or used the relevant product or service may publish a review through the TV Reviewers model.

Participation is subject to verification of a genuine purchase, in accordance with the arrangements defined with the partner brand (proof of purchase, CRM data, technical validation or any other control mechanism).

No review may be published without a prior verification process.

TV Reviewers does not select reviews on the basis of whether they are positive or negative. All reviews that comply with the platform’s rules may be published.

14. No payment for reviews

TV Reviewers does not pay for reviews published on the platform.

No financial benefit is granted in exchange for a positive review.

In some cases, a symbolic thank-you may be offered by a partner brand (sample, coupon or entry into a prize draw), with no condition attached to the content of the review.

Participation remains voluntary and independent.

15. Editorial independence

TV Reviewers acts independently in the collection, verification and publication of reviews.

Partner brands do not intervene in the selection of published reviews or in the modification of their content.

The publication of a review is solely subject to:

  • verification of a genuine purchase

  • compliance with moderation rules

  • legal compliance

No brand may require the removal of a review solely because it is critical.

16. Transparency of scores and summaries

Where scores, averages or review summaries are published, they are based exclusively on reviews that have actually been collected and verified as part of the TV Reviewers model.

The methods used to calculate scores are objective and applied consistently.

No weighting intended to artificially alter a result is applied.

Where the size of the sample is relevant, the number of reviews taken into account is indicated in order to ensure fair and transparent information.

TV Reviewers receives no remuneration linked to the content or tone of the reviews collected.

The calculation methods may be disclosed upon a reasoned request.

17. Transparency regarding the relationship with brands

The TV Reviewers® model is implemented in collaboration with partner brands as part of communication campaigns.

Brands may finance the implementation of the model, including in particular the collection, verification and distribution of reviews. This funding relates exclusively to the technical and operational implementation of the model.

However, this contractual relationship does not influence the content of the reviews published, the way they are moderated, or the calculation of scores or summaries.

The reviews expressed reflect only the personal experience of consumers.

The publisher exercises no control over these websites and cannot be held liable for their content or their privacy policies.
