It is needless to say that in this modern time, there is inevitability for such concept of providing an on-line legal dispute resolution for the disputes, which are likely to arise either in the family or in the commercial agreements or during the course of drafting agreements for various characteristics.
Due to increasing use of the Internet worldwide, the number of disputes arising from Internet commerce is on the rise. Numerous websites have been established to help resolve these Internet disputes, as well as to facilitate the resolution of disputes that occur offline. This brief, examines and evaluates these websites. It is to be noted further that cyber-mediation is in its early stages of development, and that it will likely become an increasingly effective mechanism for resolving disputes as technology advances.
Online Dispute Resolution (ODR for short) is a branch of dispute resolution, which uses technology to facilitate the resolution of dispute between parties. It primarily involves negotiation, mediation or arbitration or a combination of all three. In this respect, it is often seen as being the online equivalent of alternative dispute resolution. However, ODR is also enhancing these traditional means of resolving disputes by applying innovative techniques and online technologies to the process.

- Commercial agreements
