Introduction to Zeemagee Escrow Services

Zeemagee Escrow.com provides a secure platform that ensures trust in transactions between buyers and sellers. By holding funds in a trust until the agreed-upon goods or services are delivered and accepted, Zeemagee Escrow minimizes the risk of fraud. The essence of an escrow agreement is to protect both parties, with the funds only being released once the transaction's terms have been fulfilled.

How Zeemagee Escrow Works

  1. Agreement of Terms: Before the transaction begins, both the buyer and the seller agree on the terms of the sale, including the price, product details, and delivery method. Once the terms are set, either party can initiate the transaction on Zeemagee Escrow’s platform.
  2. Payment Submission: The buyer submits payment through an approved method to Zeemagee Escrow. Once the payment is verified, the funds are held in a secure escrow account. The seller is notified that the funds are secured, which is visible on their dashboard, signaling them to proceed with shipping the goods or delivering the service.
  3. Shipment and Delivery: Upon confirmation of the payment, the seller ships the merchandise and provides tracking information. Zeemagee Escrow verifies the shipment and, upon confirmation, the buyer receives the goods. The buyer then has a predetermined inspection period to evaluate the merchandise.
  4. Acceptance and Payment: If the buyer is satisfied with the purchase, they mark the transaction as accepted on the platform. Zeemagee Escrow then releases the funds to the seller, concluding the transaction. In cases where the buyer is not satisfied, they can raise a dispute, which Zeemagee Escrow will manage through resolution processes involving phone or email communication.

Account Creation and Verification

Creating an account on Zeemagee Escrow is straightforward and quick. Users simply fill out the required fields on the website. For transactions exceeding 10 million Naira, additional verification is necessary. Users must complete either individual or company account verification by submitting the required documents, which are reviewed within one business day. A comprehensive list of acceptable verification documents can be found on Zeemagee Escrow’s website.

Buyer’s Payment Method

Buyers have the option to pay for their transactions through various methods, including transfers or credit cards. The flexibility in payment options ensures that users can choose the most convenient method for their specific needs.

Delivery and Inspection Period

Delivery Time:

The delivery timeframe varies based on the shipping method chosen and whether the goods involved are digital, physical, or services. For physical and trackable merchandise, Zeemagee Escrow mandates that all shipments be made through a method that offers online tracking and insurance to protect both parties.

Inspection Period:

The inspection period, which ranges from 1 to 30 days, is agreed upon by the buyer and seller at the start of the transaction. This period allows the buyer sufficient time to verify that the goods or services meet the agreed-upon standards. If the buyer does not approve of the items within this timeframe, they can either accept or reject the merchandise, prompting the dispute resolution process if necessary.

Disbursement Method:

Sellers can receive payments through various methods, including domestic or international wire transfers, or ACH payments. The speed at which funds are received varies depending on the method chosen. For instance, domestic wires are typically received within one business day, while international wires may take up to 3-5 business days. For disbursements exceeding $500,000 USD, wire transfers are mandatory.

Additional Services

Zeemagee Escrow offers a variety of additional services, such as Milestone Transactions, Domain Name Holding Transactions, and Vehicle Services Transactions, which may extend the standard timelines due to the complexity of the services rendered.

Escrow Transaction Process

  1. Initiation and Agreement: The buyer and seller first agree on the price and terms of the transaction. The buyer then initiates the transaction, choosing escrow as their preferred payment method to ensure security.
  2. Verification and Shipping: Once the payment is verified, the seller ships the merchandise to the buyer. Zeemagee Escrow confirms the receipt of goods by the buyer.
  3. Inspection and Acceptance: During the inspection period, the buyer examines the goods and decides whether to accept them. If the buyer is satisfied, they accept the goods, and Zeemagee Escrow releases the funds to the seller. If the buyer is not satisfied, they can raise a dispute, entering into the dispute resolution process.

Inspection Period Details

Inspection Period Start:

The inspection period begins once the buyer marks the item as received or when Zeemagee Escrow verifies that the merchandise or service has been delivered.

Length of Inspection Period:

The duration of the inspection period, ranging from 1 to 30 days, is agreed upon by both parties at the beginning of the transaction. This period is designed to provide enough time for any necessary authentication or appraisal processes.

Buyer’s Actions During Inspection:

The buyer may either accept or reject the goods during the inspection period. If no action is taken by the buyer, the inspection period will end automatically, and Zeemagee Escrow will release the funds to the seller.

Buyer and Seller Responsibilities

Buyer Acceptance:

If the buyer is satisfied with the transaction, they accept the goods by clicking the "Accept" button on their Zeemagee Escrow account. This action ends the inspection period, and the funds are released to the seller.

Buyer Rejection:

If the buyer is unsatisfied, they can reject the goods before the inspection period ends. Once rejected, the buyer must return the merchandise within 10 calendar days, with the buyer bearing all shipping and insurance costs during the return process. Zeemagee Escrow holds the service fee during this process.

Seller’s Role:

Upon receiving the returned goods, the seller has a 5-day period to inspect the returned merchandise. If the seller accepts the returned goods, Zeemagee Escrow refunds the buyer, minus any applicable escrow fees.

Dispute Resolution:

If the seller rejects the returned goods, both parties enter the dispute resolution process. Initially, they have 14 days to negotiate without involving third parties. If they cannot reach an agreement, the dispute proceeds to arbitration, where a third-party arbitrator, such as those from the American Arbitration Association, JAMS Arbitration, or net-ARB.com, resolves the issue.
