Real-world scenarios
A contractor asks for 50% upfront payment before starting work.
On DiasporaBuild, funds are held in escrow. The contractor only receives payment after each milestone is validated.
Your money is protected. The contractor is motivated to deliver because payment is conditional on inspection.
Photos sent show an advanced site, but in reality work has stalled.
The independent inspector physically visits the site and compares against the defined acceptance criteria.
The fraud is detected. Payment remains frozen and a dispute is automatically opened.
The contractor proposes to finalize the project off-platform to avoid fees.
Any attempt to bypass is monitored. Off-platform messages are not protected.
If you accept, you lose all protection. The contractor risks a permanent ban.
Each DiasporaBuild user signs a legal agreement adapted to their role before being able to use the platform.These documents clearly define our mutual commitments and protect you at every stage.
Support and Escrow Mandate Agreement
For Clients (Investors)
Professional Partnership Framework Agreement
For Contractors (Contractors & Inspectors)
Anti-Fraud & Falsification Clause
Every professional partner formally commits to never:
- Falsify reports, photos or documents
- Artificially inflate costs
- Present a third party's work as their own
- Soliciting off-platform payments
Sanction: Immediate termination, payment freeze, reporting to authorities, permanent ban and legal proceedings.
Professional Liability Insurance (PLI)
Each professional partner must maintain active PLI insurance covering all of their activities on the platform. Lack of insurance leads to immediate account suspension. This requirement protects clients against any damage related to the work.
The client approves each payment after receiving the inspection report. The inspector recommends, but only the client decides.
Timestamped photos/videos, certified inspection reports, platform messages, and signed delivery documents are accepted.
An independent inspector, certified by DiasporaBuild, visits the site at each key milestone. They produce a detailed report with photos and recommendations.
The mediation team intervenes within 48h. Resolution typically takes 5 to 10 business days depending on complexity.
No. Payments are managed via Stripe. DiasporaBuild orchestrates the process (escrow, validation, release) but never directly handles your funds.
Bypassing is detected and progressively sanctioned: warning, 7-day suspension, then permanent ban with earnings freeze.
Yes. Inspectors are certified separately and have no financial ties to contractors. They are randomly assigned.
