Complaint Handling by Digiweb

Digiweb intends to follow the process below in handling complaints received from customers:

• Receive complaint from customer via one of the communication channels mentioned above
• Record the customer's complaint
• Acknowledge receipt of a customer's complaint
• Investigate the customer's complaint
• Notify the customer concerning Digiweb 's proposed resolution of the complaint

Categorization of Complaints Received and Timescales for Response

Digiweb will categorize complaints received from customers as follows:

• Billing dispute – Digiweb aims to respond within 10 working days of receipt.
• Miscellaneous problem/issue – Digiweb aims to respond within 10 working days of receipt.

If Digiweb is unable to resolve your complaint in accordance with the above timescales, Digiweb will use reasonable endeavors to ensure that you are informed about the expected timescale for resolution of your complaint.

If a customer has a dispute with Digiweb that is being investigated, we will not discontinue your service provided that you remit payment for the amount that both parties agree is not in dispute.

Escalation Procedure

We have a dedicated team of trained Customer Care Agents in place to investigate and resolve your complaints.

If you are not happy with the Customer Care Agent or the way in which they handle your complaint you can ask to have the matter escalated to a supervisor or manager in the appropriate area. The supervisor or manager will provide you with a revised resolution timeframe.

He / she will review and discuss the issue with you and try to reach a satisfactory resolution.

If, having contacted the manager/supervisor you feel that we have still not dealt with your complaint satisfactorily, you can ask for the matter to be reviewed by the Head of Operations.
