Payment protection
Your money moves only when the work is approved
JPS168 acts as the payment collection agent between you and the developer. Milestone funds are kept separate from our operating account and released according to the rules below. This is not a licensed bank escrow product.
- Funding
- You pay one milestone at a time by card or international bank transfer in USD, AUD, EUR, GBP or KRW. Online checkout is enabled per engagement after terms are confirmed.
- Review window
- You have 7 days after delivery to approve or request changes. With no response, we contact you before any release.
- Revisions
- If the delivery does not meet the agreed milestone scope, the developer revises it before payment.
- Disputes
- Funds stay on hold while we mediate. If the work cannot be completed, the unreleased amount is refunded to you.
- Receipts
- Every payment shows the developer’s amount and our service fee as separate lines.
