About .EU ADR[edit | edit source]
The European Registry of International Domain Names (EURid) responsible in managing the .eu top-level internet domain name was given the authority by the European Commission to designate the Czech Arbitration Court '(CAC)' as the '.eu ADR' provider in 2005 through the trademark ADR.eu.
ADR.eu is an exceptional online platform that provides cost-effective, fast, secure and high quality Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR) filed by companies regarding internet problems through its team of experts that are also fluent in 21 European and other languages in different countries.
CAC is a non-profit organization that administers the legal proceedings of the .eu ADR to resolve domestic and international commercial conflicts related to IP and technology issues. The court makes decisions based on ADR Rules and ADR Supplemental Rules in accordance with the Public Policy for .eu, implemented by the European Commission for .eu (EC Regulation 874/2004).
Since its establishment in 2005 'CAC' has already administered thousands of .eu ADR proceedings.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) approved the application of CAC as an international provider of Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy and Rules (UDRP) services last January 2008. ADR.eu is the fourth UDRP provider internationally and it is the only ADR service provider for the .eu domain name conflicts.
One year after ICANN's approval for ADR.EU to become a UDRP service provider, on January 2009 it launched an exclusive UDRP service with special features which allows e-filing and class complaints for the (.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .mobi, and .tel) gLTD domains.
In addition, on May 6, 2009, the Euro DNS S.A; operator of the CO.NL designated CAC as the domain name dispute resolution provider of .co.nl. The UDRP panelists will be responsible in making decisions on disputes per UDRP Policy and Rules.
CAC was established in 1949 under the Economic Chamber of the Czech Republic and Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic located in Prague.
