Bring a dispute. Plan ahead. Or build us in.
Bring us a dispute
Open a binding arbitration case. We verify consent, build one Record, and issue a signed Award.
Plan for disputes
Add the People’s Court clause before a dispute arises, so the procedure is already agreed.
Build for agents
Connect consent, structured submissions, decisions, and settlement to an agent or marketplace.
Choose who decides.
Choose AI-only or AI-assisted human together. We automatically assign the AI procedure before consent. In the human route, an arbitrator reviews the Record and issues the Award in their own name. Every track offers a paid human appeal unless both parties expressly waive it.
Are Awards binding?
Yes. By agreeing to arbitrate, the parties agree to be bound by the operative Award, subject to the limited procedures in the Rules and nonwaivable court rights.
Does the other side have to agree?
Yes. People’s Court verifies both parties’ consent before the Tribunal reaches the merits.
Does a human decide the Award?
In AI-only cases, the assigned AI arbiter or panel decides and serves the Award, except for a question referred to a human Arbitrator under the Rules. In AI-assisted human cases, an assigned human Arbitrator decides and signs the Award, assisted by an AI draft. Both routes retain one paid human appeal unless every party separately accepts the appeal waiver.
What is a Quick Ruling?
A Quick Ruling is a nonbinding AI opinion for an everyday disagreement. The requester pays $5 and invites the other side; replying is free; the other side pays $5 to view the same result. It is not arbitration or an Award and cannot be converted into a binding case.
