Protected deals
The deal
that keeps its word.
For repairs, services, lessons, freelance jobs — any agreement between two people. A small mutual deposit holds both sides to their word. When the job is done, deposits return. When it isn’t, the protected side is made whole.
Deposits are processed securely through Stripe. Transparent fee: 5%, minimum EUR/USD 1 per side.
The whole idea
Two deposits. One agreement. No arguments.
You commit. Your client commits. Whoever keeps their word gets it back. Whoever doesn’t, makes the other side whole. That’s the entire contract.
Built for service pros
For the deals that actually matter.
From the plumber arriving on Saturday morning to the haircut booked weeks ahead. Anywhere money changes hands on a promise — a mutual deposit makes the promise real.
- The pro shows up. The client shows up. Nobody guesses.
- Symmetry — you commit too. That’s why clients accept.
- No app to install. One link, any phone.
Fair for both sides
A handshake, made simple.
Both parties put up a small deposit. Both parties confirm on the day. When the appointment is honoured, deposits return. When it isn’t, the protected side is covered — automatically, without a negotiation.

One QR to finish
When it’s done
Client scans · job confirmed · deposits returned
Client accepts and the deposit is held. When the job is done, you show one QR — they scan, tap to confirm, both deposits return.
From the field
“People used to be nervous handing over a deposit — they’d been burned before. When they see I put one up too, that fear is gone. I close jobs faster and nobody ghosts me.”
Common questions
Plain answers.
- Where is the money held?
- Deposits sit with a regulated payment provider — not with us. They’re only released according to the rules both sides accepted.
- What if the client doesn’t show up?
- After the grace period, the client’s deposit is released to the business and yours is returned. No phone calls.
- What if the business cancels?
- The client’s deposit is returned and the business’s deposit is released to the client.
- What if both sides disagree?
- Either side can open a review. Deposits stay held until it’s resolved, using the timestamped agreement and confirmation as evidence.
- What kinds of deals work best?
- Anything with a clear time and outcome — repairs, services, lessons, freelance jobs, private sales. As long as both sides can agree on what ‘done’ means, it fits.
- Do my clients need to install anything?
- No. They open a link, review the terms, and confirm. That’s it.
- What does it cost?
- Each side pays a small non-refundable TimeBond fee: 5% of the deposit, minimum EUR/USD 1. The deposit itself is refundable when the agreement is completed.
