6Escalation Rights

When You Can Escalate to DRO

You have the right to refer your complaint to the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman (DRO) — a fully independent and impartial ADR service — in any of the following circumstances. We will always notify you of this right in writing.

📩 We Have Issued Our Final Response & You Remain Dissatisfied

If you are not satisfied with the outcome set out in our Final Response, you may refer your complaint to the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman (DRO). You have 12 months from the date of our Final Response to do so.

⏳ Your Complaint Remains Unresolved After 8 Weeks

If we have not issued a Final Response — or have not fully resolved your complaint — within 8 weeks of receiving it, you are entitled to escalate to DRO at any point. We will write to notify you of this right if this threshold is reached.

📋 We Issue a Deadlock Letter

If we reach a position where further internal resolution is not possible, we will issue a formal deadlock letter. This enables you to refer your complaint to DRO immediately, regardless of whether 8 weeks has elapsed.

DRO will review your case independently. Laporsa Technologies is registered with DRO and agrees to abide by any decision they make. Their service is entirely free for you to use.
