Protected contract
Hire services with protected milestone payments
Architects, lawyers, accountants, freelancers, builders. Pay by stages as work progresses. Review each delivery and open a dispute within the review period if needed.
For both sides
The client protects funds before delivery and agrees on milestone releases. The professional shows seriousness and knows funds are reserved for payment upon delivery.
Who it is for
Clients
People or companies hiring professionals without wanting to pay everything before seeing real progress.
Professionals
Architects, builders, lawyers, accountants, designers and freelancers who want to give clients confidence.
Project teams
Work with multiple deliverables, reviews, documents, dates and evidence of progress.
How milestone payment works
You agree on the total work and split it into payments. For example, a 3,000 dollar architect project can release 900 at signing, 1,200 at preliminary design, and 900 at final plans. Each payment is released when that stage is confirmed.
Real examples

For professionals
If you are a professional and want to offer Paybrok to clients as a trust layer, you can create the contract yourself and share the link. They sign, deposit, and you start working with protected funds and agreed release rules.
Evidence for each stage
When you complete a stage, upload evidence: photos of the work, delivered files, documents or links. Everything stays recorded with date and time in the contract. If there is a dispute later, the evidence is documented for review, mediation or formal claim.
Release and review rules
Funds are released with client approval, through automatic release when enabled and its conditions and review period are met, or through dispute resolution. If there is a problem, open a dispute before the review period ends. Creating or accepting a link does not lock funds: confirm the Funds protected status before starting.
