FAQ

Questions owners ask before they loan.

What if something gets damaged?

Condition snapshots and return proofs make disputes evidence-first, with clear escalation paths.

How do sub-loans stay accountable?

Each sub-loan is tracked as a new leg with its own check-ins and timeline.

Do borrowers see my contact info?

Protected contact details stay locked until a user signs in and passes trust gates.

How are trust tiers calculated?

Trust scores reflect on-time returns, check-ins, and verified history.

What happens if a borrower is late?

Escalation rules kick in with reminders, BOLO workflows, and audit trails.

Can I limit who sees my inventory?

Yes. Visibility scopes let you share publicly, to trusted borrowers, or within your network.

Do you offer team accounts?

Team tiers are coming soon with multi-user governance and approvals.

How do tips and gratitude work?
