The Conciliation Board is an independent body that operates alongside the county chambers of commerce and industry and the Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It was established to try to resolve disputes between the Participant and the Service Provider out of court, primarily to reach a settlement between the two parties and thus to help consumers to enforce their rights simply, quickly and effectively.
The Participant must attempt to settle the dispute directly with the Service Provider as a condition for referral to the Conciliation Board. The procedure of the Conciliation Board is free of charge and the Participant may only be obliged to pay if the Board decides to the detriment of the Participant.
The proceedings of the Conciliation Board shall be initiated at the request of the Participant. The request must be submitted in writing to the Chairman of the Arbitration Board: the requirement of written form may be satisfied by letter, telegram, telex, facsimile or any other means which enables the recipient to store the data addressed to him permanently for a period of time adequate for the purpose for which the data were intended and to display the stored data in unchanged form and content.
The request must include:
- the name, place of residence or domicile of the Participant,
- the name, registered office or relevant place of business of the Provider,
- the designation of the body requested to replace the competent Conciliation Body,
- a brief description of the Participant’s position, the facts supporting it and the evidence in support thereof,
- a statement by the Participant that the Participant has attempted to resolve the dispute directly with the Service Provider,
- a statement by the Participant that no other Conciliation Board proceedings have been initiated in the matter, no mediation proceedings have been initiated, no statement of claim has been filed and no application for an order for payment has been submitted,
- a motion for a decision of the Board,
- signature of the Participant.
The request must be accompanied by the document or a copy (extract) of the document, the content of which the Participant refers to as evidence, in particular the written statement of the Service Provider rejecting the complaint, or, failing this, any other written evidence available to the Participant of the attempted consultation.
If the Participant acts through an authorized representative, the authorization shall be attached to the request.
If the Participant perceives a violation of his/her consumer rights, he/she has the right to lodge a complaint with the consumer protection authority. Once the complaint has been examined, the Authority shall decide whether to initiate consumer protection proceedings. Pursuant to Article 45/A (1) – (3) of the Consumer Protection Act and Government Decree No. 387/2016 (XII. 2.) on the designation of the Consumer Protection Authority, the Government Office shall act as the general consumer protection authority: https://www.kormanyhivatal.hu/hu/elerhetosegek
The Participant shall be entitled to enforce his/her claim arising from the consumer dispute before the court in civil proceedings in accordance with the provisions of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code and Act CXXX of 2016 on the Code of Civil Procedure.
- Online dispute settlement:
The European Commission has set up a website where Participants (if they are acting as Consumers) can register and have the possibility to settle their online application disputes through this website by filling in an application form, avoiding the court procedure. If a Participant wishes to lodge a complaint about a service purchased online and does not necessarily want to go to court, he/she can use the online dispute resolution tool. The portal allows him/her to choose the dispute resolution body he/she wishes to entrust with the handling of the complaint.
How to reach the online dispute resolution platform:
