Escrow

Escrow is a payment arrangement where a neutral third party holds a buyer's funds and releases them to the seller only when agreed conditions are met. In manufacturing engagements it protects both sides: the maker knows funds exist before starting work, and the buyer knows payment is released against delivery. AJ Cosmo Labs uses escrowed payments to secure engagements between brands and the chemists and labs they hire.
