ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Katrina Ford
ADR
- ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
When you agree to terms and conditions, you agree to the rules and regulations of your service or
product. ADR stands for Alternative Dispute Resolution. It is a way of resolving disputes without
going to court.
When you agree to ADR in terms and conditions, you agree to resolve any disputes arising
through mediation or arbitration instead of going to court
.
Is that fair?
The terms and conditions are a legal agreement between you and the company that provides the
service or product. The agreement outlines the rules and regulations that you must follow when
using the service or product. The terms and conditions may include an arbitration clause that
requires you to resolve any disputes through arbitration instead of going to court. Arbitration is a
form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that can be faster and less expensive than going to
court. However, it is important to note that arbitration clauses can limit your legal rights and may
not be fair in all situations.
You should carefully review the terms and conditions before agreeing
to them

Does ADR protect the company?
ADR stands for Alternative Dispute Resolution. It is a method of resolving disputes outside of
court. ADR can help companies avoid the time and expense of litigation.
It can also help companies maintain relationships with customers and suppliers by resolving
disputes quickly and efficiently
.
ADR can be used to resolve disputes related to a wide range of issues, including contracts,
intellectual property, employment, and more
.
Does ADR protect the economy?
When parties need to resolve disputes, they may often turn not only to trial before courts but also
to alternative methods of dispute resolution (ADR), such as arbitration. This article examines
why parties make use of ADR and what the social interest is in ADR. A basic distinction is drawn
between ex ante ADR arrangements (made before disputes arise) and ex post ADR agreements
(made after disputes arise). The private advantages of ex ante ADR agreements are identified.
Because such agreements raise parties' well-being, the agreements should ordinarily be legally
enforced. But there is no general call for ex ante ADR to be aided by the state. Ex post ADR
agreements are somewhat different, in part because parties do not take into account how such
agreements will affect their prior behavior. (“ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION -
JSTOR”) Hence, the agreements do not necessarily advance parties' welfare and, as with ex ante
ADR, there is no general basis for public support of ex post ADR.
