Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015
Under the above legislation, as amended, online traders such as Legal-Island must provide customers with certain information and provide alternative dispute resolution options for dissatisfied customers within the EU. Indeed, as providers, we may also submit complaints about consumers. Find out more online at the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform:
https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.show&lng=EN
Should you have a dispute about our online services that cannot be amicably resolved, we recommend mediation as a means to resolve any on-going dispute. We would only recommend qualified and accredited mediators, such as those provided by the Mediators’ Institute of Ireland:
We hope that none of our customers feels the need to revert to mediation and are confident that you will be satisfied with the services we provide. In the unlikely circumstance that you are not completely satisfied with your online experience, or any of the other services provided by Legal Island, we would hope that we can resolve any problems directly between ourselves. However, should you wish to formalise an unresolved dispute, we recommend we use mediation as the most effective way to mutually resolve any ongoing dispute.
Should you have any query or complaint about our services, online or otherwise, please contact Scott@legal-island.com or call:
