That list shall include the following: (a) the name, the contact details and the website addresses of the ADR entities referred to in the first subparagraph; (b) their fees, if applicable; (c) the language or languages in which complaints can be submitted and the ADR procedure conducted; (d) the types of disputes covered by the ADR procedure; (e) the sectors and categories of disputes covered by each ADR entity; (f) the need for the physical presence of the parties or of their representatives, if applicable, including a statement by the ADR entity on whether the ADR procedure is or can be conducted as an oral or a written procedure; (g) the binding or non-binding nature of the outcome of the procedure; and (h) the grounds on which the ADR entity may refuse to deal with a given dispute in accordance with Article 5(4). Each competent authority shall notify the list referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph to the Commission. If any changes are notified to the competent authority in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 19(1), that list shall be updated without undue delay and the relevant information notified to the Commission. If a dispute resolution entity listed as ADR entity under this Directive no longer complies with the requirements referred to in paragraph 1, the competent authority concerned shall contact that dispute resolution entity, stating the requirements the dispute resolution entity fails to comply with and requesting it to ensure compliance immediately. If the dispute resolution entity after a period of three months still does not fulfil the requirements referred to in paragraph 1, the competent authority shall remove the dispute resolution entity from the list referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph. That list shall be updated without undue delay and the relevant information notified to the Commission.
