The frequent interaction between customers and firms generates tie strength among them, which may be impaired due to service failures, as organizations are not exempt from such scenarios. With using survey-based data from 348 Ecuadorian costumers with service failure experience, this research aims to demonstrate the moderating effect of tie strength (high vs. low) on the relationship between perceived justice dimensions and complaint and cumulative satisfaction, thus extending our understanding of justice theory and relationship marketing. This research has a quantitative approach, PLS-SEM method. The results reveal that when the customer's tie strength to the firm is strong (vs. weak), the moderating effect influences the relationship between distributive justice perception and cumulative satisfaction. Additionally, under the influence of strong ties, the relationship between both distributive and interactional justice and complaint satisfaction is strengthened. On the contrary, low levels of ties affect the evaluations of the recovery processes and procedures, as well as the handling of complaints regarding time and speed implemented by firms, without achieving an impact on customer behavior. These findings have important implications, as they highlight the need for managers to consider the type of relationship with existing customers when designing and implementing recovery strategies. Tie strength gives light to better understand the functioning of commercial relationships, and cementing the link between customer -firm, increasing consumer complaint satisfaction (by means of procedural and interactional justice) and cumulative satisfaction (through distributive justice).
