Our customer service representative will be empowered to resolve complex issues and make fair and reasonable customer service decisions.

For complaints lodged in person or via the telephone, acknowledgement and your ticket receipt be provided immediately.

Step 2: Escalation to Senior Management

If a customer service rep is not able resolve a complaint, they can escalate it to an appropriate alternative senior member of staff. In order to ensure that we’re able to address your query effectively, you’ll need to ensure the following information is up to date on your profile:

  1. Telephone number you can be reached on during the day
  2. Email address

The Senior member of management will review the dispute and respond within 5 working days to attempt to resolve the complaint.

We aim to resolve all complaints within 5 business days from the date of initial complaint. Complex problems will be resolved within 15 business days. We will contact you directly to advise and discuss a new timeframe in the event that a resolution may fall outside these timeframes.

Step 3: Further options

If you remain unsatisfied the Senior team may recommend other options including:

  • Referring you to your payment provider.
  • Referring you to your domain registry authority.
  • Urgent Complaints

If you feel your complaint is urgent, please tell us as soon as possible via telephone. We will refer your case for investigation by an appropriate senior manager, and provide a response to your complaint within one business day.

Urgent complaints differ from regular complaints in that they are referred to the senior team significantly earlier, and are treated with higher priority than normal complaints.

We aim to resolve all urgent complaints within 2 business days. We will contact you directly to advise and discuss a new timeframe in the event that a resolution may fall outside these timeframes.

We consider a complaint urgent when it concerns any of the following:

  • Your complaint is in regards to the quality of service you have received that is directly causing your business to lose customers / prevent from trading
  • Your issue is about a service or situation that is high risk to your business.
