4. Escrow Vault & Double-Entry Ledger Rules
Brands must fund 100% of agreed milestone amounts prior to creator production. All escrow balances derive from an immutable double-entry ledger. Funds cannot be unilaterally retracted by a Brand once production has commenced without going through the Dispute Mediation workflow.

6. Fees, Invoicing & Local Bank Payouts
Creators incur 0% platform commission on milestone deal earnings during early access. Payouts to Nigerian commercial banks (NGN) and global USD accounts are processed instantly upon milestone approval.
7. Dispute Arbitration & Mediation
In the event of milestone delivery disagreements, either party may initiate dispute mediation within the Deal Room. Cliquo’s compliance team reviews cryptographic audit logs, contract specifications, and revision history within 48 hours to execute a binding escrow resolution.
