Online Dispute Resolution
Dear customer,
In the event of a dispute, any consumer residing in Portugal or in the European Union may submit a complaint to an official, neutral and independent entity. The European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform provides all the information you need to file your complaint correctly.

What is Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)?
Alternative dispute resolution gives consumers the possibility of turning to official bodies that help resolve any conflict with a trader before initiating court proceedings.
What is the role of these entities in resolving disputes?
These entities act as mediators between the consumer and the trader. The mediator may:
- Propose a binding solution for both parties; or
- Help the consumer and the trader reach an amicable agreement.
Alternative dispute resolution is generally more economical, less formal and faster than traditional court proceedings.
