One of the most unique features of Smart Invoice is the built-in arbitration using a third party. 

The default arbitrator is currently set to LEXDAO, however, custom arbitrators can be added.

For arbitration to occur, the client or contractor must go to a specific invoice and select the LOCK option. This will present the user with a text box to describe the conflict and allow the user to see the cost of arbitration before moving forward.
