Definition
仲裁 (zhòngcái) means 'to arbitrate' — it refers to the process of having a neutral third party resolve a dispute outside of court. In contrast, 裁决 (cáijué) means 'to adjudicate' or 'to rule,' focusing on the decision or judgment itself. Use 仲裁 for the arbitration procedure, and 裁决 for the actual ruling.
