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.

Protect the next deal

Protect the payment journey and final handoff in one deal.

Dealokr helps reduce the risk of starting work without a protected payment journey or handing over final files too early. Stripe Connect handles payments where configured; Dealokr connects the payment state to protected delivery and validation without holding client funds or replacing professional advice.
