General Queries
We always welcome customer feedback, good or bad, and we aim to resolve customer issues amicably, so it is important that you let our Customer Services team know about your complaint and give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve it.
If you are still not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court.
ADR will only be offered once the complaint process has been exhausted.
Alternatively, you may wish to seek your own ADR provider, however Cineworld will not cover any costs of this.
If we think your item could block the way in an evacuation, we may ask you to leave it somewhere suitable.
