Since Organic Law 1/2025, you must attempt an Alternative Dispute Resolution method before going to court in civil and commercial matters. Send your Confidential Binding Offer with proof of receipt —without disclosing its content— through a certified notification.
Procedural requirement · art. 9 and 17 LO 1/2025The Justice Efficiency Act introduced MASCs as a mandatory step before litigating in many civil and commercial matters.
Before filing a lawsuit you must prove that you tried to negotiate a solution through an appropriate means. Without that proof, the lawsuit may be rejected. The Confidential Binding Offer is one of the most widely used MASCs.
The offer must be sent by a means that proves the other party received it. If the legal term passes without acceptance, silence counts as rejection and the judicial route opens. A regular email, on its own, does not prove that receipt.
The law protects the confidentiality of the negotiation's content. To admit the lawsuit it is enough to prove the offer was sent and received, not what it said. Notify documents exactly that: the access, with a certain date, keeping the content safe.
It is done with Safe Stamper Notify, the certified notification service with proof of receipt and reading.

An Alternative Dispute Resolution method is an attempt to resolve the conflict without going to court. Since Organic Law 1/2025 it is, in many civil and commercial matters, a procedural requirement: you must try it before suing.
It is one of the most used MASCs: one party proposes a specific solution to the other which, if accepted, is binding. Its content is confidential; for it to count, it must be sent by a means that proves its receipt.
A regular email does not reliably prove that the other party received and opened it. Notify, as a trusted third party, certifies delivery, opening, date and IP, which is what is needed for the requirement.
Not to prove the attempt. It is enough to prove the sending and the receipt; the content is confidential and is provided separately only if the court requires it.
If the legal term passes without acceptance, silence is understood as rejection and the judicial route opens. The proof of receipt shows you met the attempt.
