Description
The proliferation of online sales and e-marketplaces has expanded the direct-to-consumer market capabilities for manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers and third-party sellers. This expanded online sales capability also includes sales of products direct to consumers across national boundaries. In this new world, alternative dispute resolution of consumer disputes may be mandated by the underlying contract or other relationship between the consumer and the seller. In this session, we delve deep on the key issues that arise in handling consumer product disputes through mandatory and non-mandatory alternative dispute resolution regimes around the world.
