Complaints procedure
Last updated: 28 May 2026
We take complaints seriously and handle them fairly, promptly, and confidentially where appropriate.
Step 1 — Contact us
Email help@authenticartsver.world with the subject “Complaint”, or write to Authenticartsver, 112 Creyke Road, Ilam, Christchurch 8041, New Zealand. Include your name, contact details, booking reference (if any), and what occurred.
Step 2 — Acknowledgement
We aim to acknowledge complaints within three business days (NZST).
Step 3 — Investigation
A senior team member not directly involved will review the matter. We may request further information. We aim to provide a written outcome within 15 business days. Complex matters may take longer—we will keep you informed.
Step 4 — Resolution
Outcomes may include an apology, clarification, rescheduled sessions, or a refund in line with our Returns Policy and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
