At Autonoms AI, every layer of the marketplace is designed to protect buyers, guarantee delivery, and ensure accountability. When you step outside the platform, you bypass these protections and expose yourself to unnecessary risks.

🕵️ 1. Protection From Bad Actors

• Inside Autonoms: Every seller has passed through training, compliance checks, and approval workflows before being allowed to list automations.
  
• Outside the platform: Anyone can pose as a seller, and you risk paying fraudsters who never deliver.
  

🔒 2. Escrow-Backed Security

• Inside: Your payment is held in escrow and released only when the automation meets the Definition of Done (tested, deployed securely, and approved by you).
  
• Outside: You pay directly with no safeguards. Sellers could disappear with your money.
  

⚖️ 3. Dispute Resolution You Can Rely On

• Inside: If things don’t go as planned, Autonoms AI mediates with a structured conflict resolution system.
  
• Outside: There’s no mediator. Disagreements can easily turn into lost money or unfinished work.
  

📜 4. Proven Delivery & Accountability Model

• Inside: Buyers and sellers follow our step-by-step delivery process: consultation → demo → feedback → deployment → post-support.
  
• Sellers are held accountable through ratings, reviews, and repeat monitoring.
  
• Outside: You bypass this proven process. There’s no standard of accountability, no delivery milestones, and no enforcement of service levels.
  

🌍 5. Navigating Cross-Country Complexities

• Inside: Our platform standardizes expectations across regions — no matter where your seller is located, the same rules apply.
  
  • Timelines are consistent (72h–1 week delivery).
    
  • Payments are currency-agnostic and secured in escrow.
    
  • Support, contracts, and compliance are managed centrally.
    
• Outside: Different countries mean different laws, payment risks, and communication gaps. If issues arise, you may have no legal recourse.
  

🛡️ 6. Security & Privacy Guaranteed

• Inside: Sellers connect to your tools securely via OAuth — never raw credentials.
  
• Outside: You may be asked to share sensitive information (passwords, tokens) that put your company at risk.
  

💳 7. No Refunds or Support Outside

• Inside: If work isn’t delivered, funds stay in escrow and can be refunded. Plus, you can re-engage sellers for milestone contracts, retainers, or AI-Ops-as-a-Service.
  
• Outside: Once money is transferred, it’s gone. Support is not guaranteed, and sellers may walk away.
  

✅ Stay Protected. Stay on Autonoms.

• Stay protected by escrow and dispute resolution.

• Bypass the complexities of cross-country dealings.

Any engagement outside the platform voids all protections and is strongly discouraged.
