Common question

Does this guide replace professional advice?

No. Dealokr helps protect the commercial steps of a freelance deal through clear terms, a protected payment journey via the configured provider, protected delivery and approval. Legal, tax and accounting obligations remain those of the parties.

What should I keep in the project record?

Keep the relevant terms, the version or event in question, the client response and the next agreed action together so the timeline can be understood later.

Your next project

Turn this decision into a deal your client can follow.

Keep the terms, payment step, delivery and approval together so both sides know what happens next.
