How does it work?

Alice hires Bob for a freelancing work and they both select Kleros as arbitration provider. Instead of paying Bob directly, Alice sends the payment to a smart contract. A dispute arises. Evidence is sent to Kleros, which draws a jury of experts. Jurors analyze the evidence and vote Alice as winner. The smart contract reimburses Alice. Jurors collect arbitration fees for their work, which are paid by Bob. The case is closed.
