What do you mean by "Casual contract"?
Casual Contract is an informal written contract or promise in which traditionally people would be forming a verbal agreement without accountability. Verbal agreement without the presence of a lawyer would put us into the weak side, where we do not have anything to prove such agreement exists. Orcas Sealed addresses this problem by converting this verbal agreement into a casual contract. Although a casual contract is not legally binded, it normally can hold the user accountable for brenching such a contract. The agreed decision can be something as simple as a promise between two friends or a simple service agreement with your gardener.
Orcas Sealed makes creation of casual contracts easy. It is flexible enough to create a contract based on any kind of situation. You can customize the payment schedule to suit you the best. For example, we can make progressive payment after a certain percentage of work has completed, or after a certain work item is completed. That way, you will only pay for something that has been done. Orcas Sealed also manages and monitors the progress of the contract, like what the current renovation progress is or how great the house helper is cleaning your house, etc.
Common Problems and How do we solve it
When any two individuals come to an agreement (whether involves money or not) of something, they often face common problems below.
LACK OF COMMITMENT
Many promises and casual contracts are just verbal agreement. The person who is making a promise might not take it as seriously as the message receiving side. Orcas Sealed helps formalize the casual promise/contract with mutual agreement.
PERSONAL SAFETY CONCERN
Meeting up stranger somewhere or worst, meeting up some random people at your home would expose safety risk. Orcas Sealed has numberous features such as selfie request, report suspicious person etc to protect your safety.
MISSED PROMISES
Making a promise but not fulfilled will lead to disappointment and sometimes damage personal or business relationship. Orcas Sealed’s causal contract management would address this.
EXPECTATION MISALIGNMENT
It is a classic problem that while one person is saying something, the other person can interpret in a completely different way. Orcas Sealed ensures expectation and interest are aligned with a written sealed casual contract.
LACK OF TRUST
Trust is normally based on history and relationship. When working with a person you just met, or a friend whom you only has seen few times, it would be hard to establish full trust. Orcas Sealed has the perfect rating and scoring system, ensuring people with bad history and credibility will get penalized and be held accountable.
POOR TRANSACTION SECURITY
Some rental marketplaces claim to support deposits, but in reality the deposit can only be held for less than 7 days. Orcas Sealed handles deposits in a proper ways.
POOR EXECUTION
Getting the casual contract / promise written down would be the first step. The real challenge would be how do you make sure the contract is executed as expected. Orcas Sealed’s state-of-the-art contract lifecycle management helps ensure the contract is on-track, and if it is not, both sides would get alert as soon as possible and decide the next possible actions.
LACK OF VISIBILITY
One common problem during the contract execution would be the lack of progress visibility. Orcas Sealed’s contract lifecycle management help both parties of the casual contract to have full visibility of the progress at any given time.
MISSED DEADLINE
When a promise is made, we usually believe the promise can be kept. However, in many events, this promise has been forgotten. Orcas Sealed’s casual contract organizer and reminder helps users meet the agreed timeline.
PRIVACY INFRINGEMENT
Many service apps on the market expose your personal information such as phone number and home address to X number of businesses. In Orcas Sealed, we take privacy seriously, we are committed to secure personal data in top priority.
LACK OF FLEXIBILITY
In a casual contract, often situations might come up and the contract / promise needs to be adjusted. Flexibility is one of the core features in Orcas Sealed. Users can renegotiate and make amendment to the contract / promise easily.
