At JobPayeer, safety and trust are our top priorities. Our platform includes an advanced escrow protection system that guarantees clients only pay for work that meets their expectations, while giving freelancers peace of mind that funds are secured.
What is Escrow?
Escrow is a legal arrangement in which a neutral third party (JobPayeer) holds funds until specific contract milestones are achieved. The client funds the contract upfront, but the freelancer cannot access those funds until the client approves the completed work.
How to Use Escrow Safely:
- Break Down Large Projects: Divide major projects into 2-4 distinct milestones (e.g. Wireframe, Draft Design, Final Delivery). Fund each milestone separately.
- Review Deliverables Thoroughly: When a freelancer submits work, review the files carefully before clicking 'Approve'. Request revisions if the work does not match specifications.
- Keep Communication On-Platform: All specifications, files, and agreements should be made via JobPayeer chat. This data serves as official proof in case of disputes.
