Above all, Sides is for dreamers. We know a lot about dreams, because the same type of people we want to help are the very people who made Sides a reality– people who dream big. We believe that Sides will revolutionize the legal system one day.
The law was unnecessarily complicated and archaic.
Since the dawn of civilization, people have tried to figure out how to resolve disputes. After we had our fun with trial by combat for a while, the court system stepped in as a neutral, unbiased party to resolve disputes between parties. For the last few hundred years, people have used contracts to make agreements and the legal system has been the primary mechanism to resolve disputes. Contracts help secure transactions, and provide a foundation for people to work together.The problem is they’re tedious to make, and so expensive to enforce when there’s a dispute. In many cases attorney fees will cost more than the contract is worth. The contractual status quo is outdated, and the court system has become so inefficient at resolving disputes that most people have given up on justice in their everyday lives altogether.
We can do better, so we did.
Resolve disputes from the comfort of your mobile device or desktop computer with Sides.
Our solution was to make contracts simple.
We first developed an interface that allows you to create custom contracts effortlessly in a matter of seconds. Second, we imagined what it would look like if the dispute resolution process was streamlined, and everyone could use it to their advantage– not just corporations or the well-connected.Key Features
- Sides helps you effortlessly create unlimited electronic contracts.
- If there's a dispute regarding any term in the agreement, you can swiftly resolve the dispute without paying attorney fees or going to court.
Pricing
With a standard Sides account (free), you can create contracts; save, manage and organize your contracts; accept, decline or counteroffer offers; and use and save preset or custom templates. With Sides Pro ($10/month), you have the ability to verify your account and acquire a blue checkmark next to your name. More fundamentally, if the dispute arises while you have your pro account, dispute resolution is much less expensive than with a standard account.Pricing varies for dispute resolution, but generally a Pro account dispute will only cost approximately 8-15% of the amount in dispute, in contrast to a standard account dispute which costs around 30%.
