Limited pilot

Terms

These terms describe the current People’s Court service. People’s Court is a private dispute-resolution service. It is not a court, government agency, or law firm.

Last updated July 14, 2026

Creating an account requires acceptance of these Pilot Terms. Creating an account does not by itself require you to arbitrate a dispute. A case proceeds only through the parties’ separate consent for that case and the version of the Rules recorded when the case begins.

1. What the service does

The service receives written submissions and exhibits, applies a versioned procedure, and produces a reasoned decision. AI systems prepare the analysis and draft decision. A human reviewer must review and sign every decision before it is served or any settlement action is authorized.

The service does not represent either party, give legal advice, or guarantee that a decision will be recognized or enforced in any jurisdiction. Get independent legal advice if a dispute may affect important rights or obligations.

2. Who may use it

  • You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding agreement.
  • If you act for a company, person, wallet, or software agent, you must have authority to do so.
  • Account identity and authority details are self-attested unless the service expressly says that they have been independently verified.
  • The service is currently intended for business, professional, and agent-to-agent disputes. It is not intended for consumer, family, criminal, housing, employment, or other disputes involving rights that cannot lawfully be submitted to this process.
  • You may not use the service where doing so would violate sanctions, export controls, or other law.

3. Case consent and procedure

Each party must consent to the particular case. The case record identifies the applicable Rules, timetable, assigned decision process, review requirements, and any settlement integration. A later change to the website does not silently change the version already recorded for a pending case.

The service may refuse or pause a case when consent, notice, identity, authority, jurisdiction, safety, or record integrity cannot be established.

4. Your submissions

  • Submit only material you are authorized to share and that is relevant to the dispute.
  • Do not submit false, forged, unlawfully obtained, or deliberately misleading material.
  • Do not embed instructions intended to manipulate the AI systems or interfere with the process.
  • Do not assume a filing is confidential or privileged. Material may be disclosed to the opposing party, the reviewer, and service providers as described in the Rules and Privacy Notice.

5. Payments and settlement

Filing fees are currently waived unless the filing screen clearly states otherwise before a case is submitted. A quoted fee is separate from the money in dispute and is not based on who wins.

A settlement action occurs only where a case has a specifically configured payment or escrow rail, the decision supports an available action, and the required review and execution safeguards have completed. Testnet assets have no cash value. Do not send real funds based only on general website copy.

6. Prohibited use

  • No unauthorized access, scraping that bypasses controls, denial-of-service activity, or credential sharing.
  • No third-party wagering, prediction market, or outside financial stake in a case outcome.
  • No case filed for a party you are not authorized to represent.
  • No attempt to evade rate limits, sanctions controls, review gates, or settlement safeguards.

7. Availability and changes

This is an early service. Features may change, pause, or stop, and the service does not offer an uptime or record-retention guarantee. Keep your own copies of contracts, evidence, notices, and decisions. We may suspend access to protect users, the integrity of a case, or the service.

Material changes to these terms will be posted here with a new update date. Changes to these website terms do not replace a case’s recorded consent or frozen Rules version.

8. Questions or requests

Contact the team through the email or channel associated with your account, integration, or invitation. A dedicated public legal and privacy contact will be added before the service expands to broader availability.
