Reklamationspolitik

Reklamationspolitik is a formal policy that governs how an organization handles customer complaints. It sets the scope, channels, timelines, and remedies for issues related to products or services. The policy aims to ensure fair treatment, prompt responses, and transparent decisions, while using feedback to improve offerings and processes.

Scope and channels: Applies to all customers and offerings. It covers defects, delivery problems, performance shortcomings, and service failures. Complaints can be submitted via email, phone, a web form, or in person. Each submission is assigned a case number, and the issue is recorded with relevant details.

Process: Affected departments investigate, determine validity, and decide on a remedy, such as repair, replacement, refund, discount, or service remediation. Response targets vary by issue but typically include an acknowledgment within a defined period and a final decision with rationale. Escalation paths exist for complex cases.

Data and compliance: The policy requires proper documentation and data protection. Records support root‑cause analysis and continuous improvement. Reklamationspolitik aligns with consumer protection laws and, where applicable, statutory Gewährleistung and voluntary guarantees. Privacy considerations and record retention are defined in practice guidelines.

Outcomes and governance: The policy is reviewed regularly, and performance metrics such as response time and first‑contact resolution are monitored. Training ensures staff apply procedures consistently. Feedback from complaints informs product and service changes, contributing to higher customer satisfaction and reduced recurrence of issues.
