What is alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes?

This is a mechanism that allows all consumers to resort to official entities that can assist in resolving any conflict with a merchant, without first having to initiate litigation in court.

What role do these entities play in resolving the conflict?

These entities act as intermediaries between the consumer and the merchant who is the subject of the complaint. The intermediary can 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 going to court.
