Initiating a Dispute:
- If a disagreement arises, either the freelancer or client can initiate a dispute through our platform.
- Provide detailed information, including the project terms, communication history, and any evidence supporting your case.
Preliminary Review:
- Our system ensures an initial review of the dispute by verifying the information submitted by both parties.
- Automated notifications keep both parties informed of the dispute status.
Mediation Process:
- A dedicated mediator from Freelancer Bridge reviews the evidence and facilitates communication between the freelancer and the client.
- The mediator seeks to understand both perspectives and encourages an amicable resolution.
Resolution Through Agreement:
- Many disputes are resolved through mutual agreement during the mediation process.
- If both parties agree on a resolution, the project terms are updated, and the matter is closed.
Escalation to Arbitration:
- For unresolved disputes, the case is escalated to arbitration.
- A neutral arbitrator thoroughly examines all submitted evidence, including contracts, messages, and deliverables.
