The system enabled negotiations to be conducted using the Internet platform, starting by logging in and providing basic information such as first name, surname, e-mail address, date of the event and type of case. The party would then issue an invitation to participate in a software supported online dispute resolution process, specifying the maximum amount (it would claim) in the event of signing a settlement. Upon acceptance by the other party, a phase started in which offers were collected – the contents of which were known only by the interested parties. The number of negotiations would not exceed three, but the proposals would not be disclosed to the other party. The adopted solution allowed the settlement of disputes regarding specific values of claims, excluding consideration of the issue of legal liability. When the parties reached consensus, the offer would be mutually presented. The confidentiality of the procedure provided significant value, particularly in the event of ultimate failure to reach an agreement and referral to court.
Soft Settle resolution procedure is organized with sessions. Each session consists of three attempts. Agreement is declared if there is an overlap of accepted values at the end of an attempt. If there is no agreement at the end of the session( three attempts), the parties are left with their choices whether to begin a new session or not. This tends to speed up the process if the negotiation would otherwise drag on over numerous sessions.
SoftSettle Support encourages the parties to move sooner to the potential zone of agreement. This encourages parties to negotiate in a professional manner, quickly accepting what is fair and equitable.
