Alternative Dispute Resolution in Consumer Contracts
According to the law on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Consumer Contracts (VSBG), a trader who maintains a website or uses general terms and conditions is obliged to notify consumers of the extent to which he is willing or obliged to participate in dispute settlement proceedings before a consumer’s dispute resolution body. The European Commission provides an online platform for dispute resolution (OS) under the external link ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. The platform serves as a point of contact for the out-of-court settlement of disputes with regard to contractual obligations arising from online purchase contracts. The GFZ is not obligated to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a dispute resolution body and, furthermore, does not offer participation.

Corporate Governance (German only)
Das GFZ erstellt gemäß § 19 der Stiftungssatzung ab dem Kalenderjahr 2011 jährlich einen Bezügebericht, der öffentlich zugänglich gemacht wird. Im Bezügebericht werden die Gesamtvergütungen der Stiftung an jedes Mitglied des Vorstands und jedes Mitglied des Kuratoriums individualisiert und aufgegliedert nach einzelnen Bestandteilen in allgemein verständlicher Form dargestellt.
