🔒 DrugHub Escrow System Guide

How DrugHub Escrow Works

DrugHub uses a zero-trust escrow system where funds are cryptographically locked until both parties fulfill their obligations.

Escrow Flow

1. Buyer Places Order: XMR funds sent to escrow address
2. Funds Locked: Neither buyer nor vendor can access
3. Vendor Ships: Provides tracking/confirmation
4. Buyer Receives: Confirms delivery on marketplace
5. Funds Released: XMR transferred to vendor

Escrow Periods

• Standard Products: 7-14 days
• International Shipping: 14-21 days
• High-Risk Categories: Up to 21 days

Dispute Resolution

If issues arise:

1. Open dispute within escrow period
2. Provide evidence (PGP-encrypted communications)
3. Marketplace staff mediates (PGP-verified)
4. Decision made based on evidence
5. Funds released to appropriate party

Buyer Protections

• Funds held until delivery confirmed
• Dispute resolution if product not received
• Vendor ratings and feedback system

Vendor Protections
