Consumer arbitration process, duty to provide information in accordance with § 36 and § 37 VSBG

The Law on Dispute Resolution for Consumers (VSBG) regulates the new opportunity for consumers to engage an independent arbitration board to solve their disputes with entrepreneurs, as an alternative to a trial. In order to make the consumers aware of this opportunity, §§ 36, 37 VSBG require entrepreneurs to provide certain information. In this context we inform about the following:

With regard to lawyers please find the arbitration board of legal profession set up at the Federal Chamber of Lawyers.

With regard to tax accountants and auditors, both, the general arbitration board and the job-specific arbitration board at the Chamber of Accountants and the Chamber of Auditors are in charge.

We are inherently not willing to participate in this kind of dispute resolution without having reviewed the particular case in detail. In case of disagreeing with a consumer, the particular case will rather be checked if it might be suitable for this kind of process.
