Clear conditions before funds change hands
An escrow arrangement gives everyone a defined process for funding, release, and dispute handling. I hold the agreed Bitcoin amount and release it when the conditions established before the deposit are met. I consider both small and large amounts, with each arrangement discussed and agreed individually.
Escrow for campaigns and service payments
I can hold funds for:
- Marketing campaigns: funds allocated to agreed campaign activities and payments.
- Buyer and service provider agreements: payment held until the agreed delivery or completion conditions are satisfied.
- Business security funds: Bitcoin held as a reserve for obligations covered by the business’s published escrow terms.
Before accepting funds, I confirm the purpose, amount, release conditions, and dispute process with the relevant parties.
Business security funds
A business can place a security fund with me to give customers visibility into a reserve held separately from the business’s own control.
The arrangement must clearly identify which obligations or customer claims the fund covers. Holding a security fund does not guarantee every aspect of the business or provide unlimited coverage; its scope is defined by the agreed terms and the funds available.
Disputes and release decisions
If a dispute arises, I act as the mediator and review the agreement, supporting evidence, and explanations from the parties involved.
Under my escrow terms, I have final decision-making authority over the release of the funds I hold. Everyone must accept that authority and the applicable conditions before the arrangement begins.
Withdrawal of business security funds
For business security funds, the client must notify me at least one month before the intended withdrawal and publicly announce the planned withdrawal.
The notice requirement gives customers advance visibility into the change. Release remains subject to the agreed escrow conditions and the handling of any covered obligations or disputes. Giving notice alone does not automatically authorize withdrawal.
This one-month notice requirement applies to business security funds. Campaign and transaction escrow follow their own agreed release conditions.
Supported currency and fees
I accept Bitcoin (BTC).
My escrow service is free for existing clients. For other arrangements, fees are negotiable and agreed before funds are sent. Any applicable Bitcoin network fees are clarified as part of the arrangement.
Discuss your escrow needs
Tell me what the funds will cover, the amount involved, and the conditions for release. I will discuss the arrangement with you and confirm the terms before accepting a deposit.
