10. DELIVERING WORK
Escrow:
Escrow is a neutral holding place where funds are kept until both parties in a transaction
are satisfied.
Escrow is a great way to protect both freelancers and clients. It ensures that freelancers
s
are paid for their work, and it protects clients from being scammed.
If a freelancer does not deliver the agreed-upon work, the client can dispute the
er
transaction and the funds will be returned to them.
1. Once the freelancer has completed the project, they submit the work to the client
for review.
2. The client reviews the work and either approves it or requests changes.
3. If the client approves the work, they release the funds to the freelancer.
ub
4. If the client requests changes, the freelancer makes the changes and resubmits
the work.
5. The process repeats until the client is satisfied with the work.
● The funds in escrow are held by Upwork until the transaction is complete.
et
● If there is a dispute, Upwork will review the evidence and make a decision.
