2. Definitions

Attendee

For the purposes of the Cancellation, Refund, and Transfer Policy of Project EXODUS, the term "Attendee" is defined as follows:

Attendee: An individual who has purchased or otherwise lawfully acquired a ticket or entry pass for an event organized by Project EXODUS. This individual is granted the right to access and participate in the specified event as per the terms and conditions associated with the ticket or entry pass.

Key aspects of the definition of an Attendee include:

  1. Purchaser of Ticket:

    • The person who directly purchases a ticket from the Project EXODUS website or associated platforms, such as BookMyShow, is considered an attendee.

    • This includes individuals who purchase tickets for themselves or on behalf of others.

  2. Holder of Entry Pass:

    • An attendee can also be someone who holds an entry pass that has been gifted or transferred to them legally.

    • This implies that the attendee has the legal right to use the ticket to gain entry to the event.

  3. Right to Access:

    • Attendees have the right to enter and participate in the event as specified by the terms on the ticket or entry pass.

    • This right is subject to compliance with the event’s rules, regulations, and any additional terms and conditions.

  4. Legal Acquisition:

    • The ticket or entry pass must be acquired through lawful means. Tickets purchased through unauthorized third-party sellers or resellers do not qualify the holder as an attendee under this policy.

    • Attendees are expected to provide proof of purchase if required, such as receipts, confirmation emails, or transaction IDs.

  5. Responsibilities of the Attendee:

    • Attendees are responsible for following all event guidelines, including those related to entry times, prohibited items, and conduct within the event premises.

    • Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in denial of entry or removal from the event without a refund.

Example Scenarios

  1. Direct Purchase:

    • John purchases a ticket for a Project EXODUS concert through the official website. John is considered an attendee and is entitled to all rights and responsibilities as outlined in the policy.

  4. Unauthorized Purchase:

    • Dave buys a ticket from an unauthorized reseller. Despite having the ticket, Dave is not considered a legitimate attendee under this policy and may be denied entry if the ticket is invalid.

By defining the term "Attendee" clearly, Project EXODUS ensures that all parties understand their rights and responsibilities, providing a framework that supports fair and lawful participation in events.

2. Definitions

Entry Pass

For the purposes of the Cancellation, Refund, and Transfer Policy of Project EXODUS, the term "Entry Pass" is defined as follows:

Key aspects of the definition of an Entry Pass include:

  4. Conditions and Validity:

    • The entry pass is only valid for the event specified, including the date and time stated on the ticket.

    • It must be presented in its entirety, and any alterations, duplications, or damage that impairs its legibility may render it invalid.

    • Unless explicitly allowed under the transfer policy, entry passes are non-transferable and can only be used by the original purchaser or the person to whom the pass was officially transferred following the policy's guidelines.

    • Entry passes transferred outside of the authorized process are not recognized as valid.

  6. Additional Information:

    • Event Information: Entry passes may include additional information such as seating assignments (if applicable), entry instructions, and any special conditions or restrictions related to the event.

    • Security Features: To prevent fraud and unauthorized duplication, entry passes may include security features like holograms, barcodes, or watermarks.

    • Review Process: Project EXODUS will review these requests on a case-by-case basis and determine if an exception can be granted. This process is discretionary and not guaranteed.

Example Scenarios

  1. No Refund Due to Late Cancellation:

    • Scenario: Emma requests a cancellation 12 hours before the event.

    • Outcome: Emma’s request is ineligible for a refund due to the no refund policy within 24 hours of the event.

  2. Consideration for Exceptional Circumstances:

    • Scenario: John needs to cancel his ticket 6 hours before the event due to a sudden medical emergency.

    • Outcome: John submits a cancellation request with a medical certificate. Project EXODUS reviews the request and may, at its discretion, decide to provide a refund as an exception.

By implementing a no refund policy for cancellations within 24 hours of the event, Project EXODUS ensures that the logistical and financial impacts of last-minute changes are minimized. This policy helps maintain the integrity and smooth operation of events while providing a structured approach for handling exceptional cases.

3. Cancellation Policy

Non-Refundable Charges

As part of the Cancellation Policy for Project EXODUS events, certain charges incurred during the ticket purchase process are non-refundable. These non-refundable charges help cover the costs associated with financial transactions and administrative processing, ensuring that Project EXODUS can maintain a high level of service and operational efficiency. The specific non-refundable charges are outlined below:

  1. Bank Charges:

    • Nature of Charges: Fees imposed by banks for processing the payment transaction at the time of ticket purchase.

    • Reason for Non-Refundability: These fees are charged directly by the banking institution and are non-recoverable by Project EXODUS. As a result, they cannot be refunded to the attendee.

  2. Taxes:

    • Nature of Charges: Any applicable sales tax, value-added tax (VAT), or other governmental taxes imposed on the ticket purchase.

    • Reason for Non-Refundability: Taxes are collected and remitted to the relevant tax authorities based on the transaction. Once remitted, these funds cannot be returned to the attendee.

  3. Payment Gateway Fees:

    • Nature of Charges: Fees charged by payment gateways (such as credit card processors, online payment platforms) for facilitating the payment transaction.

    • Reason for Non-Refundability: Payment gateway fees are deducted at the point of transaction and are not recoverable by Project EXODUS, making them non-refundable.

  4. Administrative Fees:

    • Nature of Charges: Any additional fees related to the administrative handling of ticket sales and cancellations.

    • Reason for Non-Refundability: Administrative fees cover the costs associated with managing ticket transactions, customer support, and processing cancellations. These fees are incurred regardless of the cancellation.

  5. Other Miscellaneous Fees:

    • Nature of Charges: Any other fees specified at the time of purchase that are indicated as non-refundable.

    • Reason for Non-Refundability: Miscellaneous fees may include charges for optional services or enhancements selected by the attendee, which are non-recoverable.

Communication of Non-Refundable Charges

  1. Transparency at Purchase:

    • Disclosure: All non-refundable charges are clearly disclosed at the time of ticket purchase. This ensures that attendees are fully aware of these charges before completing their transaction.

    • Detailed Breakdown: A detailed breakdown of all charges, including non-refundable components, is provided in the purchase confirmation email and receipt.

  2. Cancellation Requests:

    • Acknowledgment: When submitting a cancellation request, attendees are reminded of the non-refundable charges as part of the confirmation process.

    • Deduction from Refund: The non-refundable charges are deducted from the total amount paid, and the remaining balance is processed as the refund amount.

Example Calculation

  1. Ticket Price: $100

  2. Non-Refundable Charges:

    • Bank Charges: $2

    • Taxes: $5

    • Payment Gateway Fees: $3

  3. Total Non-Refundable Charges: $10

  4. Refund Calculation (assuming a 15% cancellation fee within 7 days):

    • Cancellation Fee (15%): $15

    • Refund Amount: $100 - $15 (cancellation fee) - $10 (non-refundable charges) = $75

Example Scenarios

  1. Standard Refund:

    • Scenario: Alice cancels her $100 ticket 5 days before the event.

    • Outcome: Alice is charged a 15% cancellation fee ($15) plus non-refundable charges ($10), resulting in a refund of $75.

  2. High Non-Refundable Charges:

    • Scenario: Bob cancels his $100 ticket 10 days before the event, but his non-refundable charges include additional optional services ($5) selected during purchase.

    • Outcome: Bob’s total non-refundable charges are $15. With a 15% cancellation fee ($15), his refund amount is $100 - $15 - $15 = $70.

By outlining and clearly communicating non-refundable charges, Project EXODUS ensures that attendees are fully informed about the costs associated with their ticket purchase and the implications of cancellation, leading to transparency and reduced disputes.

    • Expected Delay: While Project EXODUS processes the refund within 5-7 business days, the attendee may experience an additional delay of 3-5 business days for the bank or payment gateway to complete the transaction and reflect the refunded amount in the attendee’s account.

  6. Total Expected Timeframe:

    • Standard Total Timeframe: From the submission of the refund request to the receipt of the refund, the total expected timeframe is approximately 10-14 business days.

4. Refund Policy

Partial Refunds and Pro-Rata Calculations

In certain situations, Project EXODUS may issue partial refunds based on the pro-rata calculation of the ticket price. This ensures fair compensation for attendees who may have partially used the services or attended part of the event. The following outlines the conditions and methods for partial refunds and pro-rata calculations:

  1. Eligibility for Partial Refunds:

    • Partial Attendance: If an attendee has only attended part of an event or utilized some of the services offered, they may be eligible for a partial refund.

    • Event Interruption: If an event is interrupted or cut short due to unforeseen circumstances, attendees may be eligible for a partial refund based on the portion of the event that was not delivered.

    • Specific Services: For events that offer multiple services or sessions (e.g., workshops, seminars), partial refunds may be considered if the attendee did not participate in all scheduled activities.

  2. Pro-Rata Calculation Method:

    • Time-Based Calculation: The refund amount is calculated based on the proportion of the event duration attended by the attendee. For example, if an attendee attends only 50% of a two-day event, they may be eligible for a 50% refund of the ticket price.

    • Service-Based Calculation: For events offering multiple services or sessions, the refund amount is calculated based on the proportion of services not utilized. For example, if an event includes four sessions and the attendee only attends two, they may be eligible for a 50% refund.

  3. Required Information:

    • Attendance Records: Attendees requesting a partial refund must provide evidence of their partial attendance or non-utilization of services. This may include check-in records, timestamps, or other verifiable documentation.

    • Detailed Explanation: A detailed explanation of the partial attendance or non-utilization of services must be submitted along with the refund request.

  4. Initiation Process:

    • Email Submission: Submit the partial refund request via email to admin@werexodus.com with the subject line "PARTIAL REFUND REQUEST".

    • Required Information: Include the ticket number, event name and date, full name, contact number, email ID, proof of purchase, and any relevant attendance records or documentation.

  5. Processing Time:

    • Review and Calculation: The partial refund request will be reviewed, and the pro-rata refund amount will be calculated based on the provided information. This review process typically takes 5-7 business days.

    • Refund Issuance: Once approved, the partial refund will be processed within 5-7 business days. The total processing time, including bank or payment gateway delays, is approximately 10-14 business days.

  6. Non-Refundable Charges:

    • Deduction of Fees: Non-refundable charges such as bank fees, taxes, and payment gateway fees will still be deducted from the total refund amount.

    • Transparency: These deductions will be clearly communicated to the attendee during the refund process.

Example Scenarios

  1. Partial Attendance:

    • Scenario: Alice attends a two-day workshop but leaves after the first day. She provides check-in records showing her attendance on the first day only.

    • Outcome: Alice is eligible for a 50% refund of her ticket price, minus any non-refundable charges.

  2. Event Interruption:

    • Scenario: A music festival is interrupted by severe weather after 3 hours of a planned 6-hour event. All attendees are eligible for a 50% refund based on the undelivered portion of the event.

    • Outcome: Each attendee receives a refund equal to 50% of the ticket price, minus non-refundable charges.

  3. Non-Utilization of Specific Services:

    • Scenario: John buys a ticket for an event that includes four separate sessions but only attends two. He submits attendance records showing his participation in two sessions.

    • Outcome: John is eligible for a 50% refund of his ticket price, reflecting the two sessions he did not attend, minus non-refundable charges.

By outlining the conditions and methods for partial refunds and pro-rata calculations, Project EXODUS ensures fair treatment of attendees who may not fully utilize the event services, while maintaining transparency and operational efficiency.

4. Refund Policy

Bank Charges and Payment Gateway Fees

In the context of Project EXODUS’s Refund Policy, certain fees incurred during the ticket purchase process are non-refundable. These include bank charges and payment gateway fees. This section outlines the nature of these fees, why they are non-refundable, and how they impact the refund process.

  1. Nature of Bank Charges and Payment Gateway Fees:

    • Bank Charges: These are fees imposed by banks for processing the payment transaction at the time of ticket purchase. They may include charges for credit or debit card processing, wire transfers, or other banking services.

    • Payment Gateway Fees: These fees are charged by online payment processors (such as PayPal, Stripe, or other payment gateways) for facilitating the transaction. These fees cover the cost of secure transaction processing, fraud prevention, and payment authentication services.

  2. Reason for Non-Refundability:

    • Irrecoverable Costs: Both bank charges and payment gateway fees are deducted at the point of transaction and are non-recoverable by Project EXODUS. These fees are paid to third-party service providers and are not refunded to Project EXODUS if the transaction is reversed.

    • Operational Costs: Retaining these fees helps cover the operational costs associated with processing payments and refunds, ensuring the financial viability of the event management process.

  3. Impact on Refund Amount:

    • Deduction from Refund: When a refund is issued, these non-refundable charges are deducted from the total refund amount. The attendee receives the remaining balance after these deductions.

    • Transparency: Project EXODUS ensures transparency by clearly communicating these non-refundable charges at the time of ticket purchase and in the refund policy.

  4. Communication to Attendees:

    • Purchase Confirmation: At the time of purchase, attendees are informed about the non-refundable nature of bank charges and payment gateway fees. This information is included in the purchase confirmation email and receipt.

    • Refund Confirmation: When a refund is processed, the confirmation email specifies the deducted non-refundable charges, providing a clear breakdown of the refund amount.

Example Scenarios

  1. Standard Refund with Non-Refundable Charges:

    • Scenario: Emily purchases a ticket for $100. The bank charges are $2, and the payment gateway fees are $3.

    • Outcome: Emily decides to cancel her ticket. She is eligible for a refund, but the total non-refundable charges of $5 are deducted from her refund amount. If the refund is subject to a 15% cancellation fee ($15), the total deduction is $20, and she receives $80 as the refund.

  2. High Non-Refundable Charges Due to Multiple Services:

    • Scenario: John purchases a premium ticket for $200, which includes additional services. The bank charges are $4, and the payment gateway fees are $6.

    • Outcome: John cancels his ticket and requests a refund. The non-refundable charges of $10 are deducted from his refund amount. If the refund is subject to a 25% cancellation fee ($50), the total deduction is $60, and he receives $140 as the refund.

By clearly defining and communicating the non-refundable nature of bank charges and payment gateway fees, Project EXODUS ensures that attendees are fully informed about the financial implications of their ticket purchase and any subsequent refund requests. This transparency helps manage expectations and reduces potential disputes regarding refund amounts.

5. Transfer Policy

Conditions and Restrictions

Whole Ticket Transfers Only

Project EXODUS implements specific conditions and restrictions on ticket transfers to maintain the integrity and fairness of the event admission process. One of the key restrictions is that tickets must be transferred in their entirety. Here are the details on this restriction:

  1. Whole Ticket Transfers Only:

    • No Partial Transfers: Attendees can only transfer the entire ticket to another individual. Partial transfers, such as transferring specific sessions, days, or portions of the ticket, are not permitted.

    • Single Transfer Transaction: Each ticket transfer must be completed as a single transaction, ensuring that the new ticket holder receives the full benefits and responsibilities associated with the ticket.

  2. Reason for Restriction:

    • Integrity of the Ticketing System: Allowing only whole ticket transfers helps maintain the integrity of the ticketing system and ensures that each entry pass corresponds to a single attendee.

    • Avoiding Misuse: This restriction prevents misuse of tickets, such as splitting a multi-day ticket among different attendees, which can lead to logistical challenges and potential security issues at the event.

  3. Impact on Transfer Process:

    • Transfer Validation: The transfer process includes validation to ensure that the ticket being transferred is complete and has not been partially used.

    • Updated Entry Pass: The transferee receives an updated entry pass that reflects the entire ticket, ensuring they have access to all the event’s benefits and services.

  4. Communication to Attendees:

    • Clear Guidelines: The restriction on whole ticket transfers is communicated clearly at the time of ticket purchase and in the transfer policy guidelines.

    • Support and Assistance: Project EXODUS provides support and assistance to attendees to ensure they understand and comply with this restriction when initiating a transfer.

Example Scenarios

  1. Standard Whole Ticket Transfer:

    • Scenario: John has a ticket for a two-day conference. He can no longer attend and wants to transfer his ticket to his friend, Emily. He initiates the transfer process, providing all required information.

    • Outcome: The entire ticket is transferred to Emily, who receives an updated entry pass for the full two-day conference.

 

  1. Attempted Partial Transfer:

    • Scenario: Sarah has a three-day festival ticket but only wants to attend the first day. She attempts to transfer the remaining two days to another friend.

    • Outcome: The transfer request is denied because partial transfers are not allowed. Sarah must either attend the entire event or transfer the whole ticket to another individual.

  2. Misunderstanding of Transfer Rules:

    • Scenario: Mike buys a multi-session workshop ticket and tries to transfer just one session to a colleague.

    • Outcome: The request is denied, and Mike is informed that he must transfer the entire workshop ticket. He decides to transfer the whole ticket to his colleague, who can then attend all sessions.

By enforcing the restriction that only whole tickets can be transferred, Project EXODUS ensures that the ticketing process remains fair and consistent, providing a seamless experience for both transferors and transferees. This policy helps maintain order and clarity in the event management system, reducing potential complications and ensuring all attendees have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities.

5. Transfer Policy

Conditions and Restrictions

Transfer Deadlines

To ensure smooth and efficient management of ticket transfers, Project EXODUS imposes specific deadlines for initiating and completing ticket transfers. These deadlines help maintain the integrity of the event planning process and ensure that all necessary administrative tasks are completed in a timely manner. Below are the detailed conditions and restrictions related to transfer deadlines:

  1. Transfer Initiation Deadline:

    • 48 Hours Before Event: All ticket transfer requests must be initiated no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event date. This allows sufficient time for processing and validation of the transfer request.

    • Reason for Deadline: This deadline helps ensure that the transfer can be properly documented and the new ticket holder’s information can be updated in the system before the event.

  2. Non-Transferable Period:

    • Within 24 Hours of Event: Ticket transfers are not permitted within 24 hours of the event. This restriction ensures that all transfer requests are processed and finalized well in advance of the event, avoiding last-minute complications.

    • Reason for Non-Transferable Period: Prevents logistical challenges and ensures accurate attendee information for event security and planning purposes.

  3. Special Circumstances:

    • Case-by-Case Basis: In exceptional cases, such as medical emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances, Project EXODUS may consider transfer requests within the non-transferable period. Such requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

    • Supporting Documentation: Attendees must provide appropriate documentation to support their request for an exception.

  4. Communication of Deadlines:

    • At Time of Purchase: The transfer deadlines are clearly communicated to attendees at the time of ticket purchase, ensuring they are aware of the deadlines and restrictions.

    • Policy Documentation: Transfer deadlines are also outlined in the transfer policy documentation available on the Project EXODUS website.

Example Scenarios

  1. Transfer Initiated Before Deadline:

    • Scenario: Alex decides to transfer his ticket to Jessica 3 days before the event. He submits the transfer request with all required information.

    • Outcome: The transfer request is processed and approved, and Jessica receives an updated entry pass.

  2. Transfer Request Within Non-Transferable Period:

    • Scenario: Emily attempts to transfer her ticket to Mark 12 hours before the event due to a sudden change in plans.

    • Outcome: The transfer request is denied as it falls within the 24-hour non-transferable period. Emily is informed that transfers are not allowed within this timeframe.

  3. Exceptional Circumstance Consideration:

    • Scenario: John needs to transfer his ticket to Lisa 18 hours before the event due to a medical emergency. He provides a medical certificate as supporting documentation.

    • Outcome: Project EXODUS reviews the request and, considering the exceptional circumstance, approves the transfer. Lisa receives an updated entry pass.

By enforcing these transfer deadlines, Project EXODUS ensures that the ticket transfer process is orderly and manageable, allowing for accurate record-keeping and smooth event operations. These deadlines help maintain the integrity of the event and provide clear guidelines for attendees wishing to transfer their tickets.

5. Transfer Policy

Non-Transferable Tickets

Project EXODUS recognizes that certain tickets may not be eligible for transfer due to specific conditions or restrictions. This section outlines the scenarios and types of tickets that are considered non-transferable, ensuring that attendees are fully informed of these limitations at the time of purchase.

  1. Promotional or Discounted Tickets:

    • Non-Transferable Condition: Tickets purchased under special promotions, discounts, or offers are typically non-transferable. These tickets are sold at a reduced price and are intended for use by the original purchaser only.

    • Reason for Restriction: The non-transferability of these tickets helps prevent abuse of promotional offers and ensures that the benefits of discounts are utilized as intended.

  2. Event-Specific Restrictions:

    • Special Events: Certain events may have specific restrictions that render tickets non-transferable. These restrictions will be clearly communicated at the time of ticket purchase.

    • Reason for Restriction: Event-specific restrictions are often implemented to maintain the integrity of the event and ensure that only authorized individuals can attend.

  3. Membership-Based Tickets:

    • Exclusive Access: Tickets associated with membership or loyalty programs may be non-transferable. These tickets are often tied to specific member benefits and privileges.

    • Reason for Restriction: Non-transferability ensures that the exclusive benefits and access associated with membership are preserved and utilized by the intended members.

  4. VIP and Premium Tickets:

    • Special Privileges: VIP or premium tickets that offer special access, amenities, or services may be non-transferable. These tickets often come with added benefits that are intended for the original purchaser.

    • Reason for Restriction: The non-transferability of VIP and premium tickets ensures that the exclusive benefits are provided to the original purchaser and are not misused.

  5. Corporate or Group Tickets:

    • Bulk Purchases: Tickets purchased in bulk by corporations or groups for employee or client use may be non-transferable. These tickets are often provided as part of a corporate benefit program.

    • Reason for Restriction: Non-transferability helps maintain control over the distribution of tickets and ensures that they are used as intended by the purchasing entity.

  6. Conditions for Non-Transferable Tickets:

    • Clear Communication: The non-transferable status of a ticket will be clearly communicated at the time of purchase. Attendees will be informed of this restriction in the purchase confirmation and terms and conditions.

    • Verification Process: Non-transferable tickets will be subject to a verification process at the event entrance. Attendees may be required to provide identification or proof of purchase to confirm their eligibility for entry.

Example Scenarios

  1. Promotional Ticket:

    • Scenario: Emma purchases a ticket at a 50% discount during a special promotion. She later tries to transfer the ticket to her friend.

    • Outcome: The transfer request is denied as the ticket was purchased under a non-transferable promotional offer.

  2. Membership-Based Event:

    • Scenario: John, a member of an exclusive club, buys a ticket for a members-only event. He attempts to transfer the ticket to a non-member.

    • Outcome: The transfer request is denied as the ticket is tied to his membership and is non-transferable.

  3. Corporate Ticket:

    • Scenario: A company purchases a block of tickets for a conference to distribute to its employees. An employee tries to transfer their ticket to a friend outside the company.

    • Outcome: The transfer request is denied as the tickets are part of a corporate purchase and are non-transferable.

By clearly defining the conditions and restrictions for non-transferable tickets, Project EXODUS ensures that attendees are fully aware of their limitations and can plan accordingly. This policy helps maintain the integrity of ticket sales and event management, ensuring a smooth and fair experience for all participants.

6. General Provisions

  2. Internal Review:

    • Review by Support Team: The customer support team will review the submitted documentation and details. They will attempt to resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 5-7 business days.

    • Arbitration Agreement: Both parties must agree in writing to submit the dispute to arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration institution, such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).

    • Arbitration Decision: The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

  2. Governing Law and Jurisdiction:

    • Applicable Law: The dispute resolution process and any disputes arising out of or relating to the events, tickets, or policies of Project EXODUS will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the event is held.

    • Jurisdiction: Any legal action to enforce an arbitration award or to resolve a dispute that is not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the courts located in the jurisdiction where the event is held.

Example Scenarios

  1. Initial Resolution Attempt:

    • Scenario: Jane experiences an issue with her ticket purchase and contacts customer support. She provides her ticket number, receipt, and a description of the issue.

    • Outcome: Customer support reviews the information and resolves the issue by offering a refund. Jane is satisfied with the resolution.

  2. Escalation to Management:

    • Scenario: Mark disagrees with the resolution provided by customer support and requests escalation. Management reviews the case and offers an additional compensatory measure.

    • Outcome: Mark accepts the proposed resolution and the issue is resolved.

  3. Mediation:

    • Scenario: Emily and Project EXODUS cannot agree on a resolution. They agree to mediation and select a neutral mediator.

    • Outcome: The mediator helps both parties reach a mutually acceptable solution, and the dispute is resolved.

  4. Arbitration:

    • Scenario: John and Project EXODUS fail to resolve their dispute through mediation. They agree to binding arbitration.

    • Outcome: The arbitrator reviews the case and makes a binding decision, which both parties accept.

  1. Initial Resolution Attempt:

    • Feedback and Improvement: Feedback from escalated cases is used to improve future customer support processes and prevent similar issues from occurring.

  2. Alternative Dispute Resolution:
