## Product summary

TimeBond is for appointments and service agreements where no-shows or last-minute cancellations create real cost. Typical users include tradespeople, repair services, stylists, barbers, tutors, trainers, freelancers, movers, and other appointment-based businesses.

The core flow:

1. A business creates a protected deal with appointment details and a refundable deposit amount.
2. The business places its own deposit first.
3. The client receives a private link, reviews the agreement, and places the matching deposit.
4. When the job is completed, the client confirms and both deposits are returned.
5. If one side breaks the agreement, the protected side may receive the other deposit according to the accepted rules.

TimeBond charges a small non-refundable protection fee when deposits are placed: 5% of the deposit, with a minimum of EUR/USD 1 per side.
