What is alternative consumer dispute resolution?

It is a mechanism that allows all consumers to resort to official entities that can assist in the resolution of any conflict with a commercial entity, without first having to open a litigation process in Courts.

What is the role of these entities in conflict resolution?

These entities act as intermediaries between the consumer and the trader who is the subject of the complaint. The intermediary may impose a solution on both parties, or seek to bring them together so that a solution can be reached. Alternative dispute resolution is, as a rule, less expensive, less formal and faster than the judicial route.
