ORS 646A.408
Use of informal dispute settlement procedure as condition for remedy

  • binding effect on manufacturer


If a manufacturer, for the purpose of settling disputes that arise under ORS 646A.400 (Definitions for ORS 646A) to 646A.418 (Remedies supplementary to existing statutory or common law remedies), establishes or participates in an informal dispute settlement procedure that substantially complies with the provisions of 16 C.F.R. part 703, as in effect on June 23, 2009, and causes a consumer to be notified of the procedure, ORS 646A.404 (Consumer’s remedies) does not apply to a consumer who has not first resorted to the procedure. A decision resulting from arbitration pursuant to the informal dispute settlement procedure is binding on the manufacturer but is not binding on the consumer. [Formerly 646.355; 2009 c.448 §5]
