Users covered by the DPF framework have access to a binding arbitration mechanism as a last resort, but only in certain circumstances and only for complaints that other means have failed to resolve.
Interpretive note: The clause references 'certain circumstances' without defining them in the excerpt, and defers to Annex I to the DPF Principles for full detail. The scope of the right is therefore not fully determinable from the excerpt alone.
If the reader has a DPF-covered complaint that has not been resolved through other channels, and circumstances qualify, the reader may invoke binding arbitration as a further recourse.
