How it Works
When a contract between two parties is created, they integrate certain criteria in the said contract. Where they specify the number of jurors they want to oversee the contract, the outcomes of the contract, and finally, they also get to decide the category of the contract, below are the available categories, which is also known as the subcourt.

This subcourt helps to get the relevant jurors to be oversee the contract, in the event of a dispute, both parties will be rest assured that knowledgeable jurors in the given category will give their verdict on who they support. And when the verdict has been passed, immediate action is taken, either the freelancer gets back to work to deliver a better product or service, or the contractor gets his refunds instantly.
How will Kleros change the Landscape of Small Disputes
