ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Alternative dispute resolution refers to the mechanisms that consumers have at their disposal to resolve or guide, through mediation, conciliation or arbitration, conflicts that oppose them to suppliers of goods or service providers established in the national territory, before or instead of resorting to the ordinary Courts.

Thus, and in accordance with Law no. 144/2015, of September 8, KINDA Home informs that:

1. KINDA Home is not a member of any alternative consumer dispute resolution mechanism;
