Dispute Resolution Process

This outlines how we resolve disputes with users. Our goal is to resolve issues quickly and fairly.

1

Informal Resolution (Days 1-14)

Contact support@ahlan.app with your issue. Provide:

  • Your account email
  • Detailed description of the dispute
  • Relevant screenshots or evidence
  • Proposed resolution
  • Any previous correspondence

Response time: 2-5 business days

2

Formal Complaint (Days 15-30)

If not resolved, submit a formal complaint including:

  • Reference to applicable policy or contract term
  • Legal basis for your claim
  • Specific damages or relief requested
  • Copies of all prior communications

Send to: legal@ahlan.app with subject line: [FORMAL COMPLAINT]

Response time: 10 business days

3

Executive Review (Days 31-45)

If still unresolved, your complaint escalates to Ahlan's executive team for final review. We will issue a written decision including reasoning and any remedies offered.

Response time: 15 business days

4

Binding Arbitration (Days 46+)

If executive review does not resolve the dispute, either party may initiate binding arbitration:

  • Location: San Francisco, California

  • Timeline: Decision within 90 days
