Early access preview · Protection inside checkout

Buy with confidence.

Arbit is protection built into checkout. When a seller adds it, the buyer buys as usual. If the work does not hold up to what the parties intended, Arbit considers the original agreement, context, and evidence and can return all or part of the purchase amount.

  • Seller-paid protection
  • Attached to the purchase
  • Judgment when it matters

The buyer journey

You just click Buy.

The seller adds Arbit before checkout; you buy normally. Arbit preserves the agreement, intent, and context, so a decision can address what you and the seller actually meant.

01

The seller turns it on.

The seller opts one transaction into Arbit and pays a fee based on the amount protected.

02

You click Buy.

Protection appears inside checkout. The purchase and protection terms are attached without another buyer workflow.

03

Arbit is there if needed.

If there is a problem, Arbit weighs the original deal and what happened, then decides the remedy.

The proof

A decision you can read.

Most protection asks for faith in a process you never see. Arbit produces a written decision that shows its reasoning — signed by the human who made it.

Behind the mark, every protected purchase carries its own record: the protected amount, the maximum remedy, the claim window, and what the purchase is for. The mark never appears on a purchase that is not protected.

“The scope was delivered and works. The recorded direction was approved by both parties, and two of five pages still depart from it after both revision rounds. Neither a full refund nor no refund is faithful to that deal.”

Written and signed by the reviewing human.

If something goes wrong

Judgment applied to the deal the parties actually made.

Arbit reads the agreement, the context, and what was delivered, then writes a decision that may return all, some, or none of the purchase amount. Evidence informs the judgment; it does not replace it.

Acknowledged fast

Open a case inside the claim window. Arbit responds within one business day.

Both sides heard

The same evidence window for buyer and seller, then a written decision on the schedule stated before checkout.

Money returns the way it came

A refund is issued to the original payment method and tracked until the provider confirms it.

A real no exists

Decisions can favor either party — which is why a protected yes means something.

The seller pays to be held to their own agreement. Every protected purchase states its claim window, decision schedule, and maximum remedy before checkout. Read a full worked decision.

For sellers

Turn assurance on for the sale that needs it.

Opt one transaction into Arbit. Protection appears in checkout, the buyer buys normally, and you pay only on the amount protected.

  • Opt in only where assurance helps
  • Use Arbit terms or bring the deal you already have
  • Keep the agreement, context, and decision in one record

Sophisticated deals

Terms people and agents can work with.

For a straightforward purchase, Arbit can supply standard terms. For a more sophisticated deal, either side—or an agent acting for them—can propose terms, inspect the current version, or bring an existing contract for a supportability review. Arbit responds with what it can support and what must change before protection can be offered.

Early access

Offer Arbit on a real sale.

Bring an upcoming transaction. Arbit will review the sale, the checkout, and the agreement and explain what would be required to protect it.

Request early access

Submitting an intake does not make a transaction protected. Protection exists only when the specific checkout and approved terms say so.
