BASIC POLICY ON CUSTOMER SERVICE

We at HUMAN MADE Inc. aim to surprise and delight customers around the world through creative ideas and uncompromising manufacturing based on the concept of “The Future Is In The Past.”
We will always be grateful and respectful to our customers, and will strive to provide even higher levels of satisfaction by repaying customer trust and meeting expectations through our sincere service. That said, some of the demands and behavior of customers that go beyond what is considered acceptable include language and behavior that undermines the dignity of our employees, such as remarks that denigrate their character, acts of violence, and sexual harassment. We regard such behavior as a serious problem that leads to a deterioration of the workplace environment.
In order to respect the human rights of our employees, we will respond to such demands and behavior with sincerity while maintaining a firm and resolute attitude.
We encourage our employees to report and consult with their superiors in the event that they are subjected to any of these acts from a customer, and we will respond as an organization when an employee has made such a report.

"A complaint or action from a customer, etc., in which, in light of the appropriateness of the content of the complaint or action, the means or manner for achieving the customer’s request goes beyond what is socially acceptable, and the working environment of the employee is harmed by such means or manner."
