Current Alerts For This Business
In May 2023, Better Business Bureau questioned RMS Ground Maintenance for displaying BBB’s logo on its website, www.rms-lawn.com, when it is not a BBB accredited business. The website also makes the following claims:
- “Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed”
- ” We are the leader in lawn care, ground maintenance for commercial clients in St. Louis, MO and surrounding areas.”
According to BBB Code of Advertising, “Regarding the term, “guarantee”, Better Business Bureau’s Code of Advertising standards states, “(1) Advertisers should only use ‘satisfaction guarantee,’ ‘money back guarantee,’ ‘free trial offer,’ or similar representations in advertising if the seller or manufacturer refunds the full purchase price of the advertised product or service at the consumer’s request. (2) When ‘satisfaction guarantee’ or similar representations are used in advertising, any material limitations or conditions that apply to the guarantee must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed.”
In addition, Better Business Bureau’s Code of Advertising standards states, “Superlative statements in advertisements about the tangible qualities and performance values of a product or service are objective claims for which the advertiser must possess substantiation as they can be based upon accepted standards or tests. As statements of fact, such claims, like “#1 in new car sales in the city,” can be proved or disproved.”
The company did not respond to BBB's request and has not removed BBB's logo from its website and is in violation of the trademark rights of the International Association of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. BBB also asked the business to modify, substantiate or discontinue its advertising claims. The business did not respond, and has not modified, substantiated or removed the claims.
