German term or phrase: Kulanzabwicklung
I have a questionnaire about a seminar where among other things they talk about Kulanzabwicklung. The seminar seems to be held by the manufacturer for garages. In one source I found an insurance term for Kulanzabwicklung=Ex Gratia Settlement. But what manufacturers and their sales organisations have to do with insurance? Is Kulanzabwicklung then to do with special aftersales warranty or something else?

Explanation:
Perhaps "goodwill settlement" is more suitable in this context since it has nothing to do with insurance companies. However, a manufacturer (or anyone else providing a service) may find it necessary in certain cases to offer their customers a goodwill settlement, even if a fault or mistake cannot be proven.
