Escrow: The cash withdrawn from the customer's account will be held in escrow until the task is completed and the client gives final approval. The freelancer will not receive payment unless the client approves the deliverables.
Processing Fees: Each transaction that takes place on the The Word Wave platform incurs a processing cost. This fee is normally 3% to 5% of the job's total value and is added to the money withdrawn from the client's account.
Disputes: In the event of a dispute, The Word Wave may hold the funds in escrow until the dispute is resolved. The Word Wave will assist in resolving the dispute, but will not take sides in any dispute.
Refunds: If the client is not satisfied with the work provided by the freelancer, the client may request a refund. The Word Wave will mediate the dispute and may issue a refund if the work provided by the freelancer does not meet the agreed upon standards.

The client permanently and irrevocably waives any and all rights to enact a ‘chargeback’ (that is, a disputed, reversed or contested charge with the applicable bank, credit card or charge card) against payments that were made during the period of the contract and are dated before the date of the termination request, for any reason whatsoever.
7. Any chargeback processed against charges for The Word Wave will result in full and complete termination of all The Word Wave licenses and accounts due to the significant costs involved in administration of managing chargebacks.
8. The Word Wave is under no obligation to store your Content and may delete your Account and your Content immediately upon termination or may keep your Account and your Content for up to 60 days following the last day of the month of termination.

1. Packages for Freelancers: These subscription packages will provide freelancers with the opportunity to apply for more jobs and to feature their profiles prominently on the platform. Upon joining the platform, freelancers will receive free points which they can use to apply for up to five jobs.
2. After this initial period, they will need to subscribe to a package to apply for additional jobs.

These ads may include advertisements for companies that clients may be interested in, or ads for the platform's clients or training institutions. The pricing for these ad packages will vary based on the type of ad and its duration.
1. Agreement: Once a client has selected a freelancer and agreed upon the task details, including the fee and deadlines, the client will click the "Hire freelancer" button to begin the job. By doing so, the client commits to pay the agreed-upon price to the freelancer upon project completion.
2. For jobs with milestones, the job will be updated to reflect the milestones, including their dates and costs. Before the job commences, the customer and freelancer will agree on the particular milestones and timelines. Before the freelancer can advance to the next milestone, the customer will release payment for each milestone that has been reached.
3. All modifications should be specified in the job description and approved by both parties prior to the start of work.
4. Disputes: In the case of a conflict, The Word Wave will aid in its resolution. While making a choice, The Word Wave will examine the job agreement and milestone procedure.
