CRIV offers AALL members with assistance with vendor-related issues. Prior to filing a request for assistance, individuals are expected to have made a reasonable attempt to resolve the issue at hand. To avoid duplication of effort, please provide a complete account of your efforts to communicate with the vendor including copies of your notes from conversations with the vendor or emails.
