4. Escrow Service

Fameclerk provides an escrow service to protect both buyers and sellers during account transfers. By using the escrow service, you agree to the following:

4.1 How Escrow Works

• Once a seller accepts an offer, the buyer can start the escrow and fund it via cryptocurrency or site balance.
• Buyers may also start an escrow directly using the Buy Now feature at the listed price.
• When funding via cryptocurrency, the buyer has 1 hour to complete the payment. If the payment window expires before the funds are received, the escrow is automatically cancelled and the listing becomes available again.
• Once funded, the seller transfers account credentials or ownership to our escrow agent for verification.
• After verification, the account is transferred to the buyer. Funds are released to the seller upon confirmation.
• The specific transfer procedure varies by platform (e.g., YouTube channel ownership transfer takes a minimum of 7 days).

4.2 Escrow Fees

The escrow service carries a fee based on the transaction amount:

When making an offer, the buyer may choose who pays the escrow fee:

• Buyer pays: The buyer pays the full escrow fee in addition to the offer amount.
• Seller pays: The escrow fee is deducted from the seller's payout.
• Split: The fee is split equally between the buyer and seller.

For Buy Now transactions, the escrow fee is always paid by the buyer. See Section 15 (Refund Policy) for details on fee refundability.

4.3 Escrow Limits

• Each buyer may have a maximum of 1 pending (unfunded) escrow at any given time.
• Each buyer is limited to 2 unfunded escrows per day (including pending, expired, or cancelled).
• These limits are in place to prevent abuse and ensure fair access to the escrow system.

4.4 Disputes

• Buyers may open a dispute if they believe the account received does not match the listing description or if the transfer was not completed as agreed.
• Dispute claims must include a written reason and may include supporting images as evidence.
• Our team will review disputes and make a resolution decision at our sole discretion. Our decision is final and binding.
• Possible resolutions include releasing funds to the seller, refunding the buyer, or a partial resolution.

5. Payments & Credits

5.1 Cryptocurrency Payments

• Fameclerk accepts deposits via cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), USDT, and USDC across multiple blockchains.
• Network Fees: Fameclerk does not charge a fee for depositing. However, you are solely responsible for paying any blockchain network fees (miner/gas fees) required to send the transaction from your wallet.
• Cryptocurrency deposits are credited to your site balance based on the exact amount received by our wallet, converted to USD at the current exchange rate upon confirmation.
• You are responsible for sending the funds to the correct wallet address and network. Funds sent to incorrect addresses or unsupported networks cannot be recovered.
• Each deposit session is valid for 30 minutes. You must send the exact cryptocurrency amount to the provided wallet address within this window. If the session expires before payment is received, you will need to generate a new deposit with a fresh wallet address.
• Do not send funds to an expired deposit address. Wallet addresses are rotated after expiry, and funds sent to an expired address may not be recoverable.

5.2 Site Credits & Balance

• Once a withdrawal is processed and the transaction is confirmed on-chain, it is final and irreversible.

6. Messaging

• Fameclerk provides a built-in messaging system for buyers and sellers to communicate about listings and transactions.
• Messages must be used for legitimate purposes related to transactions on the Platform.
• You may not use the messaging system to harass, threaten, spam, or solicit users to transact outside of Fameclerk.
• We reserve the right to monitor, review, and store messages for safety, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution purposes.

7. Ratings & Reviews
