It does not offer mediation services or arbitration services.  Safe and Trusted Canada however gives consumers the opportunity to anonymously send reviews and ratings to any business on Safe and Trusted Canada by logging into the website with the business 10 digit phone number as the user name and the word " feedback " as the password. In addition the consumer can get their own free consumer account and rate or review any business directly.  In all cases the review will go directly to the business owner. The purpose of this is to assist the business owner by allowing the business owner to publish what they do right and correct concerns before they become complaints.

Our business model does support consumer input and reviews.  It however does not allow the consumer to leave potentially damaging and libelous information about any business. Some consumers do not realize that they are responsible for what they write on the internet. In addition if there are complaints that end up in court, we do not want to be part of that process.  We know that sometimes the business could have done a better job in delivering services, but we also know that there are many consumers looking for a way just to complain.  Our business model will allow consumers to be more educated on the services, products and warranties of a business. 

Our business model does not recommend one business over another. The position of a business in any business category is based entirely on the amount of consumer reviews on that business. Ratings are subjective and as such our business model supports the concept that several reviews of a 3 or 4 rating are better than just one review at a 5 rating. Our business model does not support unlimited reviews by any consumer on one business.  A consumer can only rate a business once from their IP Address.  In this way our business model supports a balanced review for the business.
