Step by step
From agreement to the last delivery
A simple example: a designer agrees with a brand owner on 10 social media designs for EGP 3,000, in 3 milestones.
The life of a transaction
- 1
One party starts the agreement
They pick the transaction type and set the scope, milestones, deadlines, revision limits and cancellation terms, guided by a template.
- 2
They invite the other party
The other party receives a secure link, registers and reviews the terms. They can propose changes, which creates a new version.
- 3
Both accept the same version
An accepted agreement never changes. Any later change is a new version both parties must accept.
- 4
Work begins
In the pilot, funding is simulated and labelled as such. In future, payments will go only through a licensed financial partner.
- 5
Each milestone is delivered
The designer uploads the files; the client accepts or requests revisions within the agreed limit. Everything is recorded.
- 6
Deadlines change only by agreement
Either party can ask for more time; the other must accept before the new deadline applies.
- 7
Completion and reviews
When the last milestone is accepted the transaction completes, and each party can review the other for this specific transaction.
And if things don’t go to plan?
- The other party never accepts: the invitation expires, and nobody is committed to anything.
- A deadline passes: both parties are notified and can agree a new date or open a dispute.
- The client does not respond to a delivery: reminders are sent, and the next step follows rules agreed in advance.
- The designer does not deliver: the client can cancel under the agreed terms, or open a dispute.
- The parties disagree about the scope: either opens a dispute, states their case and uploads evidence; an impartial reviewer decides.
Simulated, not real money
During the pilot every payment step is simulated and labelled as such on every screen. ETAAMAN holds no money.
