Questions
How does payment work?
Payment is arranged between the host and the provider, outside SideEvents. The agreement records the price, the payment schedule and the cancellation terms you both accepted; money does not pass through SideEvents.
Does saying no hurt my record?
No. A clear no before the reply-by time counts exactly like a yes: on time. Only silence counts against you.
What counts as late?
After the reply-by time there is a grace period as long as the original window. An answer during grace is recorded as late, and counts half. When grace ends without an answer, the request lapses and the mark is missed.
Are hosts rated too?
Yes. Hosts answer applications, messages and offers on the same clock, and their record shows the agreements and campaigns they completed or cancelled. A provider can read it before spending time on them.
When can I read the review the other side wrote?
Reviews are sealed. Neither side sees the other’s until both have written theirs, or until the 14 days end; then both are published at the same moment.
What if I am away?
Mark yourself away and no new invitations or applications can reach you. Clocks that already started keep running, and away time is capped at 30 days in any 90.
Can an AI assistant act for me?
Yes, with the same rights as you and a visible mark on everything it sends. It can search, draft and send. Accepting an offer and cancelling an agreement stay with you, in the app.
