Why/How you need to tighten your custom offers

[matureactress]

It’s very important to make your Custom Offers as tight as possible, because it’s a binding contract between you and the Seller. Unfortunately, most Custom Offers are so poorly written that Fiverr has no way of supporting the Seller should a dispute arise. Least of all, support the Seller should the Buyer do a chargeback.

Since you’re the person writing the CO you are at an advantage. I suggest having a master CO template that is clearly written with no possible loopholes, then modify according to the needs of individual orders. I say this because if you write each CO from scratch you’re bound to forget something.

There may occasionally be Buyers that are put-off by signing a tight agreement, but trust me, they’re only put-off because they like the option to wriggle out, and most likely will. However, sincere Buyers appreciate a tightly written CO!

In the unlikely event a Buyer disputes the order, both you and the Buyer will need to prove your case with Fiverr CS. Your proof will be a screenshot or printout of your CO (which is now tight as a drum). So, save those screenshots of the CO with your client’s file just in case you may need it, AND fight for what is due you!

Oh, that´s a good reminder, thanks for the post 🙂 I wanted to write a template a while ago, but then thought maybe even better a handful to suit the occasion/s, and then forgot about it, because I made it so complicated with my idea to make it even ‘better’ that I probably wasn´t in the mood anymore…
But how do you go about that, in practice? You can´t have a popup they have to click to accept, so you paste your template, ask them to read and then type out “I read and accept your TOS” or else?

By accepting your Custom Offer, it becomes a binding contract. That’s why it needs to be tight.

By accepting your Custom Offer, the Buyer has entered into a binding contract wth you. Nothing else is needed. Bear in mind, you’re bound to it as well.
