Offers, counters and agreements

How an offer becomes a binding agreement, what a counter does, and how amendments change things later.

An offer

A brand sends an offer from a shortlisted application. It contains deliverable lines (each with a kind, description, quantity and amount), currency, revision rounds, rights, deadlines, prerequisites and notes. Notes are visible but not part of the terms.

Counters

Either side can counter. A counter replaces the whole offer with a new numbered version; the other side accepts, counters again or declines. Nothing binds anyone until one side accepts the other's latest version. An offer that reaches its expiry date closes on its own.

Acceptance

Accepting creates an agreement: a frozen copy of the accepted version (exact terms), with who accepted and when, plus the fee snapshot. Later edits never change it.

An accepted agreement reserves a campaign slot and opens a collaboration that waits for funding.

Amendments

To add deliverables, extend a licence or move a date, either side proposes an amendment; it applies only when the other side accepts. Extra money is funded like the original.

Cancellation

Before funding, cancelling is free for both sides. After funding, cancellation goes through a case so the stage rules decide what is refunded or paid. See Cases and disputes.
