The problem

Most business disputes are worth too little to fight, so they are simply lost.

A contested €20,000 claim can take years in a European civil court and cost more in fees than the claim is worth. So invoices get written off, contracts go unenforced, and the careful party subsidises the careless one. Dispute resolution built for €2 million cases does not work for €20,000 ones.

Litigation in much of the EU
Years, five figures
Contested civil claims take 1–3 years at first instance in many member states, and several more with appeals. Counsel fees routinely exceed small-claim values before a hearing is even held.

How it works

Four steps from dispute to enforceable award.

01

Agree to arbitrate

Add the Tuomio clause to your contracts or terms of service, or sign a submission agreement after a dispute arises. Both work.

02

Make your case in plain language

No pleadings, no legalese. Each party states its position and uploads the record: contracts, invoices, correspondence, anything relevant.

03

The AI analyses the full record

Every document and every argument, from both sides, is analysed in full and weighed against the contract and the applicable law. Nothing is skimmed.

04

A human arbitrator signs the award

An experienced legal professional reviews the analysis, exercises independent judgment, and issues a reasoned final award: findings of fact, conclusions of law, and the decision.

The clause

One paragraph of boilerplate. That is the entire integration.

Copy the model clause into your contracts, master service agreements, or B2B terms of service. When a dispute arises, both parties come to Tuomio instead of court.

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this contract, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by Tuomio in accordance with the Tuomio Arbitration Rules in force at the commencement of the arbitration. The seat of arbitration shall be Helsinki, Finland. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The parties confirm that they enter into this agreement in the course of their trade, business, or profession.

Tuomio administers disputes between businesses. Pre-dispute arbitration clauses are not offered for consumer contracts. Parties without a pre-existing clause may submit an existing dispute by joint agreement.
