The rules · Escrow, fees and disputes

Money moves
only when the
work moves.

One mechanic runs the platform. Everything below is a consequence of it — including what happens when the two sides disagree.

§ 01 · For clients

Brief to accepted result

  1. 01

    Top up your balance

    Your balance funds projects. Top-ups go through a payment provider — card or SEPA.

  2. 02

    Describe the job

    Title, brief, budget and skills. The project appears in the index straight away.

  3. 03

    Read the proposals

    Each one carries a price, a delivery time and a cover letter. Shortlist what matters.

  4. 04

    Send a hire offer

    Escrow locks the budget while the freelancer accepts or declines. One offer at a time.

  5. 05

    Accept the work

    Accept and escrow goes to the freelancer. If the result is wrong, open a dispute.

§ 02 · For freelancers

Profile to payout

  1. 01

    Fill in your profile

    What you do, your skills, your rate and your portfolio. This is how clients find you.

  2. 02

    Apply to projects

    Your price, your timeline, and a letter that shows you understood the brief.

  3. 03

    Accept or decline offers

    When a client sends a hire offer, escrow is already held. Accept to start — or decline.

  4. 04

    Deliver the work

    Mark the contract delivered. The client then has to accept the result.

  5. 05

    Withdraw your money

    Once accepted, the amount minus the 8% fee lands on your balance — then out.

§ 03 · Disputes

When the two sides cannot agree.

Escrow freezes. Neither party can move the amount until arbitration has ruled.

01
Who opens one
Either side. Freelancer when work is done and no approval comes. Client when delivery does not match the brief.
02
What happens to the money
It stays exactly where it is — held by the platform, visible to both, untouchable by either.
03
How it is settled
An administrator reads the thread, reviews the delivery and sees the amount. Pay, refund, or split.

§ 04 · The fee

One number, taken once.

8% comes out of escrow when the freelancer is paid — not when posted, not when proposed, not when topped up.
