Executive FAQ
Why is the Core CRM free?
We believe freelancers shouldn't pay a fixed subscription to organize their business. We only monetize at the exact moment you land a client and they pay the ₹299 verification fee or utilize DropVault Escrow.
Why don't clients object to paying the ₹299 fee?
Because the checkout portal frames the ₹299 as a Certified Deliverables Guarantee that protects them from scope alterations, late deliveries, and unverified talent.
Is DropVault Escrow compliant with RBI regulations?
Yes. ClauseDrop never holds client project funds in unregulated accounts. DropVault routes milestone deposits through licensed, RBI-compliant Nodal Escrow infrastructure.
Is the contract legally binding?
Yes. The Razorpay payment trail, client IP logging, and SHA-256 deliverable hashing generate a cryptographically secure PDF enforceable under the Indian Contract Act.
