Escrow Payment Terms - Stafify 3P™ (Payment Protection Program)

Service Marketplace (Client Projects) Fixed-Price - Escrow Payment Terms

How It Works?

  1. Escrow Payment - The Client needs to pay for the Winning One-Time Project or Project Milestone in Escrow within Twenty-Four (24) Hours so that the Agency or Freelancer can commence on working the project.

  2. Contract Signing - The Relationship Manager will submit the Project Agreement on behalf of the Agency or Freelancer to the Client. The Client needs to sign the Project Agreement within five (5) Working Days in order for the Agency or Freelancer to commence on the Project.

  3. Commencement - The Client will Discuss and Direct the Project and the Freelancer will Commence on the Project.

  4. Submission - The Agency or Freelancer will Submit the Project Work Product to the Client for Approval prior to the reasonable Client Project Deadline.

  5. Approval - The Client needs to review without delay the Project Work Product within five (5) Working Days, if the client Approved the Project Work Product, the Client needs to authorize and submit a "Notice of Irrevocable Release of Funds" to the Stafify Relationship Manager to release the funds to the Agency or Freelancer. In the event, that the Client doesn't Approve or Disapprove the submitted Project Work Product of the Agency or Freelancer without cause and after the given review time, the paid, verified, and true Escrow Payment will be automatically released to the Agency or Freelancer on the sixth (6th) Day.

  6. Disapproval (With Cause) - If the Client provides Reasonable Disapproval of the Project Work Product (Based on the Project Brief, Scope, or Description), the paid, verified, and true escrow funds will remain on hold and the Agency or Freelancer must complete the project within five (5) Working Days or until the project deadline.

  7. Disapproval (Without Cause) - If the Client provides Unreasonable Disapproval of the Project Work Product (Outside of the Project Brief, Scope, or Description) and is not capable of cure, the paid, verified, and true escrow funds will be automatically released to the Agency or Freelancer who completed the project deducted our 20% Service Fee of the total sales transaction including all applicable bank charges on the sixth (6th) Day or after the given review time of five (5) Working Days to the Client.

  8. Pending Completion - If the Agency or Freelancer doesn't work on the Client's Reasonable Disapproval of the Project Work Product (Based on the Project Brief, Scope, or Description), the Agency or Freelancer will be automatically banned and removed from the Service Marketplace. Moving forward, the Client Project will be reassigned to other Agencies or Freelancers, or the paid, verified, and true Escrow Funds will be automatically refunded to the Client deducted all applicable bank charges on the sixth (6th) Day or after the given curing time of five (5) Working Days to the Agency or Freelancer.
