The research is inspired by a ruling from December 2022 by the 1st Court for Corporate Law of the São Paulo State Court of Justice, which questioned the validity of an arbitration clause in a franchise contract based on the franchisee's impecuniosity. Beginning with an analysis of arbitration as an institution in the Brazilian legal context and its principles, the study then explores the entrepreneurial nature of the franchise relationship, as well as the alleged adhesion of these contracts. The research investigates the possibility of revoking arbitration clauses due to impecuniosity. The main objective of this work is to analyze how the franchisee's impecuniosity affects the effectiveness of arbitration clauses. Furthermore, it addresses the potential conflict between the guiding principles of arbitration and access to justice, which may arise from maintaining the arbitration agreement in cases of franchisee resource inadequacy, presenting proposed solutions to balance these conflicting principles
