DISPUTE PROTOCOLEvidence-Led Framework

A documented pause, not an automated refund.

When an item is delayed, damaged, or deliverables fail agreed acceptance criteria, the platform pauses the payout so the facts can be reviewed under clear rules.

THE 5-STAGE PROCESS

How a dispute is handled step by step

STAGE 01

Pause the affected release

When you open a dispute, the affected milestone or fund release immediately freezes in segregated escrow. This prevents automatic release while the case is unresolved.

STAGE 02

Describe the specific issue

Name the exact deliverable, product, or courier event that does not match the agreement, and state clearly what was agreed versus what was delivered.

STAGE 03

Upload factual evidence

Attach photographs, courier tracking receipts, unboxing videos, inspection reports, or deal messages. Evidence stored inside the deal record is what adjudicators review.

STAGE 04

Counterparty response window

The other party is notified instantly and given a structured window to accept the resolution, offer an amended milestone, or submit their own evidence.

STAGE 05

Impartial resolution & settlement

If mutual agreement is reached, terms update automatically. If escalated, an impartial reviewer adjudicates based on uploaded proof and records the binding payout or refund.

REAL-WORLD SCENARIOS

Common issues and how they resolve

Transparent dispute pathways that protect both honest buyers and legitimate sellers.

Late or Missing Delivery

Courier tracking indicates delayed dispatch or non-delivery past the agreed deadline.

Resolution: Release is paused. Seller must provide carrier proof-of-delivery or funds refund to buyer.

Item Damaged or Different from Agreement

Received merchandise is broken, wrong specifications, or defective upon physical inspection.

Resolution: Buyer uploads dated photos/videos during the 48-hour inspection window before funds release.

Service Deliverable Scope Dispute

Freelancer or contractor deliverable fails acceptance criteria agreed in the milestone contract.

Resolution: Both parties review the original milestone specification. Revisions or milestone splits are recorded.

Protect every transaction upfront

Don't risk transactions without an escrow buffer. Create clear terms, fund safely, and inspect before release.
