Dispute & Removal Policy

Last updated May 2026

Who Can Submit a Dispute

Coaches who have claimed their profile may submit a formal dispute about a review they believe violates our guidelines. Disputes must be submitted with specific evidence — a general disagreement with a reviewer's opinion is not grounds for removal.

What We Will Investigate

We investigate disputes that allege specific factual inaccuracies that can be independently verified, or reviews that appear to violate our published Review Guidelines. We take every dispute seriously and review each one individually.

What We Will Not Act On

We will not remove reviews based solely on a coach's disagreement with the reviewer's opinion or rating. We will not act on requests to remove negative reviews without specific evidence of a guideline violation. Volume of complaints does not influence our decision — one legitimate dispute carries the same weight as ten.

The Dispute Process

Submit your dispute via email with the review URL, the specific claim you believe is inaccurate, and your supporting evidence. We will review within 7 business days and notify both parties of our decision. Our decision is final unless new evidence is presented.

Possible Outcomes

Following a dispute investigation, we may keep the review as published, add a note that the coach has disputed the review, request that the reviewer clarify or correct a specific factual claim, or remove the review if it is found to violate our guidelines.

Legal Threats

CoachCheck operates under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides significant protections for platforms hosting user-generated content. Legal threats without merit will not result in content removal and may be publicly disclosed.
