💡 In simple words: When people make a deal, sometimes something goes wrong: someone does not pay, or something gets broken. WikiDeal is looking for the best ways to protect people when that happens, in every country. This page is a future call for ideas to study the question. It is not open yet, and nothing is decided.
🎯 In 20 seconds (expert summary): Draft open call, under construction, wave 2, not yet launched. It is intended to invite proposals on the architecture and the legal keys to success, both general and per country or region, in matters of payment guarantees, guarantees in case of default or damages, and compensation.
