Arbitration procedure/enforcement procedure
If you do not receive a satisfactory response to messages or inquiries about accessible information technology on this website, you can contact the ombudsman's office for accessible information technology of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The ombudsman's office is assigned to the commissioner for the interests of people with disabilities and is legally anchored in §§ 10d, 10e BGG NRW and §§ 9 ff of the BITV NRW. With the involvement of all parties concerned, the ombudsman's office attempts to determine the circumstances of the lack of accessibility so that the provider can rectify them. This is not about finding winners or losers. Rather, the aim is to find a solution to a problem together and out of court with the help of the arbitration board.
The arbitration procedure is free of charge. You also do not need legal advice.
The ombudsman's office for accessible information technology in NRW can be reached by telephone on the following number: 0211 85 53 451.
