The Expert Guarantee

Are you an employer and...

...want to ensure that you will not have to pay a cancellation fee?
...have a crucial deadline and MUST find an expert who will finish the project on time?
...OR...anticipate too many 'look-alike' bidders and aren't sure how to separate the experts from the amateurs ?

Or are you an expert worker, whose bids are getting crowded out by a throng of less qualified bidders?

If you fall into any of the above categories, then the Expert Guarantee solves your problem, by quickly connecting expert workers with serious employers. Here is how it works. At the beginning of the project, the expert worker puts their own money 'on the line', to prove that they have the skill to complete the project and are also 100% committed to completing it on time. They do this by placing a deposit into escrow, which is a percentage of the bid amount (for example 10%).

If the expert worker completes the contract as promised (100% by the deadline), then they receive the deposit back (along with full payment for the work, as usual).
If the expert worker does not complete the contract, then they forfeit the deposit. The deposit is used to pay for the employer's cancellation charge, and the remainder is donated to a non-profit charity. (The money is not kept by vWorker.com, nor the employer).
If the employer is responsible for the project failing (for example: by pulling out prematurely, withholding important information, etc.) then the worker receives back the deposit. A worker does this via the arbitration process.

(Note: To reimburse vWorker.com for the cost of processing the deposit, the worker is sometimes charged a small, non-refundable processing fee when making their deposit. The worker can eliminate or reduce this fee by choosing a less expensive method of payment).
