The operator is neither legally obliged nor voluntarily willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board. In the event of a conflict, the operator will endeavour to find a mutually acceptable solution with the customer. Since arbitration boards are liable to pay costs, the operator will not participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board, also in the well-understood cost interest of the customer.
