If your company has ever not received payment for an invoice, you certainly know how frustrating it is in our country to recover overdue payments. It turns out that you can throw the contract with the debtor in the trash. In state courts, cases drag on for years anyway. Do you confirm? That is exactly why Ultima RATIO was created. – we want to change this situation! Our online arbitration already shortens the average duration of economic proceedings to just 22 days. Within this time, you can obtain a final arbitration award on our platform, which, after granting it the enforcement clause, is suitable for enforcement by a bailiff. In the latest version of our service, we are introducing additional tools that further increase your chances of recovering overdue money.

At Ultima RATIO, we manage the entire lifecycle of contracts that companies enter into with their clients. From the initial assessment of creditworthiness to online arbitration and enforcement by bailiffs. A crucial element of this process is, of course, the "ironclad" contracts. These are effectively signed with clients online and without the need to check their ID. Without such agreements, clients do not become "real" clients, and companies do not establish the relationships they can later manage. Therefore, this post is dedicated to our tool for signing contracts over the Internet. Using a trusted profile. What does this involve and how does it differ from the solutions offered by competitors?

Why wait over 7 months for a state court judgment when there is an effective alternative? The delay in state court proceedings is the scourge of our times. Hearings that require travel, witnesses that need to be examined, and costs that must be incurred upfront—all of it becomes unbearable. It's time to discover the innovative approach of Smart Firms, which bypass 'traditional' state courts in favour of e-arbitration. How does Ultima RATIO work? We publish this entry because more and more arbitrators and companies are collaborating with us. We want the principles of our operation to be transparent and clear.

Last year, we introduced Ultima RATIO to our offer with a new feature – the ability to sign documents online. It is not just an electronic signature, but an advanced tool compliant with eIDAS. Thanks to the dual-identity verification through the state-run service login.gov.pl, our solution gained recognition, and people started talking about signing documents using a "trusted profile". We do not object; on the contrary, we have decided to further enhance this tool.

Ultima RATIO. has been on the market for over 4 years. During this time, we have experienced much and learned a lot. Not only about the technological aspects of online arbitration but also about the legal ones. It is not merely a matter of moving a case online; rather, it is crucial that its outcome: the arbitration award, maintains the same quality as a verdict issued by a 'traditional' court. Without undue modesty, we can assert that this transition has been successful. Arbitrators at Ultima RATIO. have issued around a thousand arbitration awards. We are not aware of any that failed to obtain an enforceability clause. None have been overturned in proceedings appealing against an arbitration court's decision. However, changes had to be made in an entirely different field.
