This provision establishes an internal dispute resolution requirement that precedes any external legal action, meaning users must engage with Fiverr's proprietary process before seeking remedies through courts or other mechanisms, which affects the timeline and procedural pathway for dispute resolution.
Interpretive note: The enforceability of the internal-first dispute resolution requirement against EU/EEA consumers may be constrained by non-waivable consumer rights under applicable EU directives; application depends on user classification and jurisdiction.
Under this clause, buyers and sellers with order disputes are required to submit to Fiverr's internal resolution center process before pursuing external legal remedies; the outcome of that internal process and any limitations on subsequent legal action depend on additional terms in the agreement.

"In cases of a dispute between buyers and sellers, Fiverr's resolution center will attempt to resolve the dispute. Users agree to use Fiverr's internal resolution process before seeking any external legal remedies.Excerpt from Fiverr's Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Mandatory internal dispute resolution requirements may require evaluation under EU P2B Regulation Article 11, which requires platforms to provide business users with access to an internal complaint handling system that is free, transparent, and produces outcomes within a reasonable timeframe; the adequacy of Fiverr's resolution center under this standard warrants review for EU business users. Consumer-facing dispute requirements may also interact with EU Directive 2013/11/EU on alternative dispute resolution. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The internal resolution requirement delays access to external legal remedies; the governance exposure depends on whether the internal process is procedurally adequate and whether outcomes are binding or merely advisory. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users may have non-waivable rights to access national consumer dispute resolution bodies under applicable consumer protection directives; contractual requirements to use internal processes first may not override those rights. California consumers may have similar non-waivable rights under state consumer protection law. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations using Fiverr for procurement should account for the mandatory internal dispute resolution step when assessing remedies available for failed or disputed deliveries; the internal process timeline may affect project recovery planning. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should evaluate whether Fiverr's internal resolution process meets P2B Regulation and ADR Directive requirements for EU business users, and whether the requirement to use internal resolution before external remedies is enforceable in the jurisdictions where their employees or counterparties are located.
