## Frequently asked questions

### What does it cost me?

Nothing. Posting a project, getting matched and paying are free for clients. You pay exactly the milestone amount you agreed on, the same for every payment method. Developers pay 8 percent plus payment processing when they get paid.

### Who is my contract with?

With your developer. ErdiBuilds is an open marketplace: it brings you together and handles the payment on behalf of your developer, who is an independent professional and the seller of the work.

### What if I'm not happy with a milestone?

Ask for changes until it matches what you agreed. The money stays with Stripe until you approve. If you can't agree, ErdiBuilds looks at the delivery and the messages and releases, refunds or splits the milestone. On a refund you always get exactly the refunded amount back, nothing is kept.

### Can I hire from anywhere?

Yes. Clients are welcome worldwide, including the US. Developers are currently based in the EU.

### Do I get an invoice?

Yes. When you pay a milestone you get a payment confirmation. When you approve it, you get an invoice from your developer, created automatically by ErdiBuilds in their name.

### Who owns the code?

You do. Once a milestone is paid in full, the rights to its result pass to you, unless you agree otherwise in writing on the platform. General know-how, reusable building blocks of the developer and open source stay with their owners and licenses.
