When payment is guaranteed

  1. Funds secured in escrow before work began
  2. Deliverables match approved scope
  3. Milestone requirements are fulfilled
  4. Work submitted within timeline or package duration
  5. Client formally approves the milestone

Once these conditions are satisfied, payment release is guaranteed.

Escrow as payment security

  • Escrow-secured funds
  • Milestone-based structure
  • Formal approval process
  • Documented workflow

Freelancers do not work on unfunded projects.

Guaranteed payment in Single Service

  • Deliverables meet predefined scope
  • Timeline is respected
  • Approval is recorded

Once approved, funds are released after the 20% platform fee deduction.

Guaranteed payment in Team Service

  • Work aligns with assigned role
  • Milestone output is approved
  • Execution stays within package allocation
  • Documentation is complete

Approved milestone completion triggers payout.

If client delays approval

  • Project Manager may intervene
  • Communication logs reviewed
  • Structured follow-up initiated

If scope alignment is clear and no dispute exists, resolution procedures may apply.

When payment is not guaranteed

  • Work is incomplete
  • Deliverables are outside scope
  • Submission not made under milestone
  • Platform policies are violated
  • Freelancer withdraws mid-project
  • Scope expansion done without approval

Guarantee applies only to documented, compliant work.

During a dispute

  • Funds remain secured in escrow
  • Structured review is conducted
  • Payment released based on scope alignment

Escrow ensures financial fairness.

What guaranteed payment does not mean

  • Automatic payment without approval
  • Payment for unapproved additional work
  • Payment outside milestone structure
  • Protection from performance accountability

It ensures security within structured rules.

Why guaranteed conditions matter

  • Protects freelancers from unpaid work
  • Protects clients from incomplete delivery
  • Reduces financial disputes
  • Maintains platform credibility
  • Supports fair governance

Clarity builds long-term trust.
