uxreview Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Why would it be against TOS? If a user is asking you to fix a website then of course they should provide the website address so that you can check the issue and make a realistic offer.

woofy31 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It’s not against the terms, but I would refrain from asking sensitive information like logins/passwords (might be just me, though)I sometimes ask potential clients to give me their site address so that I can see if I’m able to review it or not, nothing wrong with that, and can save everyone’s time in the end 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn’t ask for login details. User won’t give access to various sellers to have a look and possible damage their site 🙂 I probably misunderstood the question here. I thought OP was talking about public details such as URL, error message etc. or even a screenshot if the problem occurs in the backend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought OP was talking about public details such as URL, error message etc.Could be, the question wasn’t very specific regarding what details, so I just made sure security is covered as well 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea101 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It’s wise to do that, it help to avoid some unnecessary cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
