Online Dispute Resolution
Dear customer,
The European Union has created a website to support consumers in submitting their complaints regarding any dispute in which they are involved. In this context, ADERFERIAS provides all the information so that you may exercise your right to file a complaint with an official, third-party, and impartial entity ("dispute resolution entity") that will help you resolve the matter.
Thus, if you are dissatisfied with the purchase of a good or service on our website, or with the solution we have proposed to resolve the situation, you can access the websites listed below and submit your complaint.

What is alternative dispute resolution?
Alternative dispute resolution is the possibility that all consumers have to turn to official entities that help them resolve or guide a conflict before filing legal proceedings in court.
In general, the procedure is as follows: the customer asks an impartial third party to act as an intermediary between themselves and the trader who is the subject of the complaint. The intermediary may suggest a solution to the complaint, impose a solution on both parties, or bring the parties together to find a solution.
You may know the concept of alternative dispute resolution by another name: mediation, conciliation, arbitration, or competent consumer dispute commission.
Alternative dispute resolution is usually less costly, less formal, and faster than going through the courts.
