EXFINAL User Policy

1. Purpose

EXFINAL is a project-based transaction platform designed to connect users requesting services ("Requesters") with independent service providers ("Providers") across multiple industries. The platform facilitates project discovery, scheduling, communication, payment handling, and dispute support.

EXFINAL does not provide services directly and does not control how services are performed.

2. Platform Roles

  • Requesters: Users who create service requests, define scope, milestones, timelines, and budgets.
  • Providers: Independent individuals or entities who accept requests, perform services, and deliver agreed outcomes.

3. Independent Contractor Relationship

All Providers operate as independent contractors. EXFINAL is not an employer, agent, or partner of any user and does not supervise or guarantee service outcomes.

4. Core Platform Features

  • Project and service requests with defined scope and budget
  • Flexible pricing set by Providers and capped by Requesters
  • Escrow, deposits, and milestone-based payments
  • Incentive-based payment adjustments within agreed ranges
  • In-platform messaging and notifications
  • Ratings and reviews after completion

5. Payments & Fees

  • Platform Fee: A 15% service fee applies to provider net income, capped at $50 per project or service component.
  • Payment Processing: External Stripe transactions incur a 2.9% + $0.30 non-refundable processing fee.
  • Transfers & Balances: Users may accumulate balances to reduce fees or transfer funds to Stripe Express when desired.

6. Cancellation & No-Show Framework

Cancellation fees and no-show guarantees apply only to services that require a scheduled start time, real-time attendance, or reserved availability.

  • Both parties may set cancellation or no-show guarantees
  • The effective guarantee is the minimum amount agreed upon
  • Funds are frozen upon commitment and released upon resolution
