Terms of use

Last updated 23 August 2026

PeopleRating is run by GIBS BV, Gevers Deynootweg 66, 2586 BN Den Haag, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under 28115544. You can reach us at hello@peoplerating.com.

These terms apply when you use peoplerating.com. By creating an account you agree to them. They are written to be readable; where something is a hard rule, we say so plainly.

1. Who can take part

You must be 18 or over. There is no version of this service for people under 18, and we close accounts that turn out to belong to someone younger. One account per person. The email address you sign in with must be yours.

2. What the service does

You put two versions of a piece of work side by side and ask a fixed set of questions about them. Real people answer. You get the answers, they get credit for the work of answering.

Feedback is an opinion, not advice and not a guarantee. What people tell you about your cover, logo or ad is a signal from a handful of readers — useful, and not a market study.

3. Turns

• You get 3 turns when you create your account.
• An accepted response you write is worth 1 turn.
• Opening a comparison costs 3 turns and opens three review places.
• Places that stay unfilled when a comparison expires are refunded, one turn each.
• Turns expire 90 days after you receive them. Refunded turns get a fresh 90 days.

Turns are not money. They have no cash value, cannot be bought, sold, transferred or paid out, and we do not convert them into anything else. If we later add paid work, money and turns stay strictly separate: money you earn does not expire, and nothing converts between the two except by an explicit choice you make yourself.

Every change to your balance is recorded. You can see the whole record in your account.

4. What you may submit

You may only upload work you have the rights to. Do not upload:

• anything illegal, hateful, or made to harass someone;
• sexual content involving minors, or any sexual content presented to reviewers unasked;
• personal data of other people — no customer lists, no screenshots full of names;
• sensitive personal information about yourself or anyone else: health, religion, sexual orientation, political views, ethnicity or criminal record. Our filters flag this and a human removes it.

5. Writing reviews

Write in your own words, from your own reaction. We measure how a response came about — how long the page was open, how much text arrived by pasting — and a response that looks rushed or pasted is flagged for a person to read. We do not use AI detectors to decide anything: they are wrong too often to punish someone on.

If a response is rejected after review, the turn it earned is reversed. The original record stays; corrections are added, never erased. Repeatedly submitting empty or copied responses is a ground for suspension.

6. The rule we do not bend

It follows that you may not use PeopleRating to solicit:

• ratings or reviews in the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon, Trustpilot, Bol, a webshop, or any other public review platform;
• installs, downloads, clicks, follows, likes or upvotes;
• anything else where the reward depends on an action outside this platform rather than on a written response.

We screen briefs for this automatically and by hand. Asking for it is a ground for closing your account and keeping any turns in it. This is not a formality: platforms that host paid ratings get treated as review factories, and everyone using them gets caught up in it.

7. Who owns what

Your work stays yours. By opening a comparison you allow us to show it to the reviewers we select, for as long as it takes to collect the responses.

The response a reviewer writes is theirs, and by submitting it they give the person who asked the right to use it — read it, quote it internally, act on it. Neither of you may publish the other's material as if it were your own.

8. Moderation

We may flag, hide, reject or remove submissions and responses, and suspend or close accounts that break these terms. Where we can, we tell you why. Disagree? Reply to the email we send, and a person reads it.

9. Availability

We do our best to keep the service up and the data intact, but we do not promise uninterrupted availability. We may change or discontinue features. If we stop the service, you get a reasonable period to download your data first.

10. Liability

The service is provided as it is. We are not liable for decisions you make on the basis of feedback you receive here, nor for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability for intent, gross negligence, or anything else that cannot be limited by law. If we are liable, our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the event — which, in the trade-only phase of this service, is nil.

11. Your data

How we handle personal data is described in the privacy statement. You can download everything we hold about you and delete your profile yourself, from your account.

12. Ending it

You can delete your profile at any time. Turns lapse when you do; they are not money and are not refundable. We may close an account for a serious breach of these terms, and for repeated smaller ones after a warning.

13. Changes

When these terms change materially, we email you before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new version.

14. Law

Dutch law applies. Disputes go to the competent court in Den Haag, unless mandatory consumer law gives you the right to your own court. As a consumer in the EU you can also use the ODR platform.
