How do I know the funds are safe?
The funds are held in a secure, third party account, and will not be released unless agreed upon by both parties, or there has been a dispute resolution process entered into and we receive written notification by a competent authority, e.g. the court.
While the money is in the holding account, it stays right there, it is not invested or moved around in any way.
