The Marketplace
Workly is a creative studio marketplace that connects student creators with clients. Workly provides the infrastructure for project management, escrow, and payments but is not a party to the creative contracts between users.
- 02
Escrow and Payments
To protect both creators and clients, Workly utilizes an escrow system. Payments are held securely and released only upon client approval or auto-release conditions.
- Fees. Workly charges a standard commission of 20% on the total contract value.
- Release. Funds are released to the creator upon client approval of the final deliverable.
- Auto-Release. If a client takes no action for 3 days after submission, funds are auto-released.
- Late Delivery Policy. If a creator fails to provide the first submission by the agreed deadline, the client is entitled to a 100% refund of the escrowed funds upon request.
- 03
User Conduct and Safety
The security of our community is paramount. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for off-platform communication or payments.
- Contact Info. Sharing personal contact information (email, phone, handles) is strictly prohibited.
- Consequences. Violation of safety policies leads to permanent account suspension.
- Prohibited Content. Illegal, defamatory, or IP-violating content is banned.
- 04
Intellectual Property
Upon full release of payment, the intellectual property rights of the deliverable are transferred from the creator to the client, unless otherwise agreed upon in the project brief.
- 05
Dispute Resolution
In the event of a disagreement, users may 'Report an Issue.' Workly's moderation team will review the project history to reach a final, fair decision.
