Online Dispute Resolution<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The European Union has created a website to help consumers submit complaints about any disputes they may be involved in. In this context, Azorean Lawyers provides all the information you need to exercise your right to complain to an official, third-party entity that is impartial to the process (\u2018dispute resolution entity\u2019) that will help you resolve the dispute in question. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, if you are dissatisfied with the purchase of a good or service on our website, or with the solution we have presented to resolve the situation, you can access this official website https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/consumers\/odr\/main\/index.cfm?event=main.home2.show&amp;lng=PT and submit your complaint.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.1. What is alternative dispute resolution?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternative dispute resolution is the option available to all consumers to seek assistance from official bodies to help them resolve or provide guidance on a dispute before taking legal action in the courts.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a general rule, the procedure is as follows: the customer asks an impartial third party to intervene as an intermediary between themselves and the trader who is the subject of their complaint. The intermediary may suggest a solution to their complaint, impose a solution on both parties, or bring the parties together to find a solution. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be familiar with the concept of alternative dispute resolution under other names: \u201cmediation\u201d, \u201cconciliation\u201d, \u201carbitration\u201d or \u201ccompetent commission in consumer disputes\u201d.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternative dispute resolution is generally less expensive, less formal and faster than court proceedings.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suggestions for Alternative Dispute Resolution Entities:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CNIACC \u2013 National Centre for Information and Arbitration of Consumer Disputes<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/www.arbitragemdeconsumo.org\/<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lisbon Consumer Conflict Arbitration Centre<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/www.centroarbitragemlisboa.pt\/<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vale do Ave Consumer Conflict Arbitration Centre\/Arbitration Court<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/www.triave.pt\/<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CIAB \u2013 Centre for Consumer Information, Mediation and Arbitration (Consumer Arbitration Court)<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/www.ciab.pt\/pt\/<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CIMPAS \u2013 Centre for Information, Mediation and Insurance Ombudsman<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.cimpas.pt\/<\/span><\/p><p><b>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a05.
