General Escrow Instructions

1. Purpose and scope

These are the General Escrow Instructions of EscrowUSDT (“EscrowUSDT”, “we”, “us”). They apply whenever a buyer and a seller open, join, fund, review, settle, or close an escrow through the EscrowUSDT website or app (the “Platform”).

EscrowUSDT provides orchestration software for high-value USDT and related settlement workflows. We record the deal, coordinate verification, track status, and present settlement steps to both parties. Regulated or designated partners may custody and move fiat or crypto where the deal requires it. Unless a specific deal screen states otherwise, EscrowUSDT does not itself hold customer assets as a bank, exchange, or default custodian.

If a term on the transaction screen for a specific escrow conflicts with these General Escrow Instructions, the on-screen deal terms control for that escrow only, to the extent they can be carried out with our partners and applicable law.

2. Definitions

• Buyer — the party paying for the asset or value named on the escrow.
• Seller — the party delivering the asset or value named on the escrow.
• Party / parties — the buyer and seller named on the escrow. A person who is not named has no rights under that escrow.
• Escrow / deal — a single transaction on the Platform with a unique escrow code, title, role, currency, asset, amounts, and status history.
• Account number — the party’s EscrowUSDT public identifier in the form CH followed by eight digits (for example, CH48291037), used to name counterparties.
• Escrow code — the unique deal code in the form CH-XXXXXXXX used for sharing and public verification links.
• Verify — the signed-in tool where a party enters an escrow code to open a deal they belong to. No public receipt is shown without login.
• Fund lock — the Platform state in which the deal fund remains held pending confirmation by both sides; this is a lock of the deal fund workflow, not a lock of the USDT token contract itself.

3. Parties and roles

Each party acts for itself. When you create an escrow you choose your role as Buyer or Seller. That role determines which steps you complete (for example, naming the seller account, depositing USDT, uploading payment proof, or confirming release).

The party who opens the escrow must correctly identify the counterparty. If you create as Buyer, you enter the seller’s EscrowUSDT account number on the review step. If you create as Seller, your own account number is attached as the seller identity once it has loaded for your signed-in session.

You are responsible for confirming that the counterparty account number, asset, network, amounts, and title match the commercial deal you intend. EscrowUSDT does not independently verify that the off-platform commercial relationship between the parties is lawful or correctly described, beyond the checks and status rules described here.

4. Creating an escrow

Creating an escrow on the Platform follows a guided sequence:

1. Title — a clear label for the deal (for example, the OTC settlement or asset description).
2. Deal setup — your role (Buyer or Seller), fiat currency (USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, or SGD), and asset (USDT or BTC as offered on the create flow).
3. Amounts — for USDT deals, the USDT (TRC20) amount and the fiat amount in the selected currency; for other assets, the fiat amount as shown.
4. Review — confirm totals (including fee), seller account details, and acceptance of these instructions and the Privacy Policy.

After successful creation, the Platform issues an escrow code. Share that code only with intended counterparties. They must create an account, sign in, and open the deal from Verify or Escrow. Public links such as /verify/[code] do not expose deal details.

5. Deal terms

Each escrow covers one transaction as displayed before creation and again on the deal screen, including at least:

• Title and creating party’s role
• Currency and asset (and USDT network type when USDT is selected; TRC20 for the standard USDT path)
• USDT amount where applicable, and fiat amount
• Fee display (platform fee of 1% of the fiat amount, shown as subtotal, fee, and total)
• Seller account number and subsequent status fields as the deal progresses

Amounts you enter must match the commercial agreement between the parties. Rounding on the Platform may limit fiat and token inputs to the precision shown in the form (for example, two decimal places for displayed money fields).

6. Agreement and acceptance

The creating party opens the escrow by confirming the review step, including the checkbox accepting these General Escrow Instructions and the Privacy Policy. The escrow becomes fully agreed when the counterparty reviews the same material deal details and agrees on the Platform.

Until both parties have agreed, a party may withdraw as described in section 13, subject to any fee already earned and any partner costs already incurred. After both have agreed, material changes require both parties (and may be declined if they cannot be executed with our partners or would break compliance rules).

Checking the agreement box is a binding electronic acceptance for that escrow. Do not proceed if you have not read these instructions and the Privacy Policy.

7. Account numbers and identity

EscrowUSDT assigns each eligible user a unique public account number (CH + eight digits). That number is how counterparties are named on deals. Guard your sign-in credentials. Do not share recovery material, seed phrases, or private keys in any Platform field that is not expressly designed for that purpose.

Entering the wrong seller account number can route the deal to the wrong party. Double-check the CH number before you create or accept. EscrowUSDT is not responsible for losses caused by a party naming or accepting the wrong counterparty identifier.

We and our partners may require additional identity, KYC, KYB, or AML information before funding, release, or settlement. Failure to complete required checks can pause or end the escrow.

8. Deal lifecycle

A typical escrow moves through the following stages. Exact labels on screen may vary slightly as status updates, but the intended sequence is:

1. Create deal — terms entered and escrow code issued.
2. Verification — parties and required compliance checks; counterparty agreement.
3. Fund escrow — deposits or payments as directed on the deal screen; USDT paths use on-chain verification.
4. Review — both sides (and EscrowUSDT where shown) review proofs and conditions.
5. Release — fund lock lifts according to confirmed conditions.
6. Close — settlement confirmed and escrow marked complete, or closed earlier under section 13.

Status remains attached to the escrow record so both parties can follow the same timeline instead of relying on informal chat confirmations.

9. USDT verification (Tronscan)

For USDT deals on the TRC20 path, EscrowUSDT treats on-chain verification as a core control. Relevant USDT transfers are checked against public blockchain explorers such as tronscan.org so both parties share the same source of truth—not screenshots alone.

Important clarifications:

• EscrowUSDT locks the fund for the deal, not the USDT token itself inside a token-lock contract, unless a specific partner flow expressly states otherwise on the deal screen.
• You must send only the asset, network, amount, and destination shown for that escrow. Sending on the wrong network, to the wrong address, or with the wrong memo/reference can result in delay or loss that EscrowUSDT cannot reverse.
• Confirmation timing depends on the network and our verification rules. Do not treat a mempool or unconfirmed transfer as final.
• If the Platform requests a transaction hash, wallet address, or deposit proof, provide accurate data. False or recycled proofs are grounds to reject the step and may lead to escrow termination.
• EscrowUSDT confirms the on-chain deposit on Tronscan after your transfer is broadcast. You can move your fund every time. You have only access of your fund.

10. Fund lock and release

After required deposits or payments are recognized, the deal fund remains locked until the release conditions on the escrow are met. Those conditions typically include both parties’ confirmation and any EscrowUSDT or partner review shown on the deal screen.

You can move your fund every time. You have only access of your fund.

Early release, partial release, or side-channel payout outside the Platform instructions is not permitted. If a party asks you to “just send outside escrow,” treat that as a break of these instructions and report it through the contact channel in section 19.

Release does not guarantee that the underlying commercial goods or services are free of defect; it means the Platform’s escrow conditions for fund movement were marked satisfied. Commercial warranties between buyer and seller, if any, remain between those parties unless expressly included in the on-screen deal terms.

11. Settlement

Settlement covers the fiat and/or crypto steps shown for the escrow after release conditions clear. Where both rails apply, they are intended to run in the same deal workflow so parties are not left coordinating separate informal payouts.

Once conditions are met and partners confirm, settlement is typically completed within one hour. Network congestion, banking cut-offs, compliance holds, incomplete party details, or force majeure events can extend that window. The deal screen status is the authoritative progress indicator for the escrow.

EscrowUSDT marks an escrow closed when partners confirm settlement is finished, or when the escrow is ended earlier under section 13 with a recorded final status.

12. Fees

Unless a specific promotion or on-screen term states otherwise, EscrowUSDT charges a platform fee of 1% of the fiat deal amount. The review step shows subtotal, fee, and total (“you pay”) in the selected currency.

The party responsible for the fee is as indicated on the transaction summary or deal screen. The fee is part of the escrow economics once displayed and accepted. If an escrow ends before settlement because a party withdraws after the fee has been earned under the on-screen rules, that party remains responsible for the earned fee and any non-refundable partner costs already incurred.

Blockchain network fees, bank wire fees, and third-party processor fees charged by parties’ own wallets or banks are separate and are borne by the party that incurs them, unless the deal screen says otherwise.

13. Changes, withdrawal, and close

Before both parties agree, either party may leave the escrow from the controls available on the Platform (where offered). After both agree, changes to amount, asset, currency, fee allocation, seller identity, or these instructions require mutual consent on the Platform. EscrowUSDT may refuse a change that is operationally impossible, unlawful, or inconsistent with partner requirements.

EscrowUSDT may suspend or close an escrow if: required compliance information is not provided; verification fails; a party provides false information; prohibited use is detected; a partner refuses the flow; or law or regulation requires it. Where practical, status and a short reason will appear on the deal or verify view.

14. Disputes and status

If something goes wrong, keep the conversation attached to the escrow. Use the deal status, uploaded proofs, and verify page rather than moving the entire dispute into an unrecorded chat thread. EscrowUSDT may request additional documents from either party before advancing or reversing a step.

EscrowUSDT is not an arbitrator of every commercial disagreement between buyer and seller. We coordinate the escrow workflow and partner confirmations. Where a dispute cannot be resolved inside the available Platform states, parties may need to pursue remedies outside the Platform under applicable law, without prejudice to any hold already in place under partner rules.

15. Prohibited use

You may not use EscrowUSDT to:

• Violate applicable sanctions, AML, fraud, or other laws
• Launder funds, finance crime, or conceal beneficial ownership
• Misrepresent assets, amounts, transaction hashes, or identities
• Circumvent fund lock, verification, or release controls
• Interfere with the Platform, other users, or partner systems
• Use the service if you are not legally able to enter the deal in your jurisdiction

We may refuse service, freeze progress on a deal, or report activity where required by law or partner policy.

16. Responsibilities and limits

You are responsible for the accuracy of information you submit, for securing your devices and login, for tax and reporting obligations in your jurisdiction, and for confirming wallet addresses and bank details before sending value.

EscrowUSDT provides software orchestration and status coordination. To the fullest extent permitted by law, EscrowUSDT is not liable for losses caused by: incorrect counterparty details entered by a party; wrong-network or wrong-address transfers; delays outside our reasonable control; partner or network outages; or commercial disputes about the underlying goods or services beyond the escrow conditions shown on the deal.

Nothing in these instructions excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law. Where liability can be limited, EscrowUSDT’s aggregate liability related to a given escrow is limited to the platform fee paid to EscrowUSDT for that escrow, except in cases of willful misconduct where such a limit is not allowed.

17. Electronic agreement

By checking that you have read and accept these General Escrow Instructions and the Privacy Policy, you agree that:

• Your electronic acceptance is effective for the escrow you are creating or joining
• You can access, download, and print these documents from the Platform links
• You consent to receive these instructions and related escrow notices electronically
• The deal details above the acceptance control are accurate to the best of your knowledge

18. Records and communications

EscrowUSDT keeps deal records, status history, and related operational logs as needed to run the escrow, meet partner requirements, and comply with law. How we handle personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.

Operational notices may be delivered in-product, by email associated with your account, or via the verify/deal pages. You are expected to monitor the escrow status while the deal is open.
