Trust & Safety
We vet everyone, connect the right brands and creators, and keep a record of every deal — so both sides can work with confidence. Here's how it works and how to stay protected.
How a collaboration works
1
Get verified
Every creator and brand is reviewed and approved before they can transact. Every account is reviewed.
2
Request
A brand sends a creator a request with a clear brief — scope, deliverables, and budget.
3
Agree
The creator accepts and both sides confirm the terms: what's delivered, by when, and for how much.
4
Deliver
Work happens and gets delivered. Progress is tracked through the collaboration, start to finish.
5
Review
When it's done, both sides leave a rating. Reputation is public and earned — it can't be faked.
Handling payment safely
CHEETAY introduces you and keeps the record — you agree the fee and pay each other directly. Follow these rules and you stay protected:
✓ Do this
- ✓Agree the scope, price, and deadline on CHEETAY in writing before any work or money changes hands.
- ✓Split payment: a deposit to start, the balance on delivery. Never pay 100% upfront to someone you haven't worked with.
- ✓Keep the conversation on CHEETAY — it's your record if anything is disputed, and it's tied to their reputation.
- ✓Use a payment method that leaves a receipt (bank transfer, JazzCash, Easypaisa) — keep proof of every transfer.
✕ Red flags
- ✕Being pushed to move off CHEETAY to WhatsApp before terms are agreed — that's the #1 sign of a scam.
- ✕Paying the full amount before any work is delivered.
- ✕Sharing an OTP, password, card PIN, or CNIC photo with the other party. CHEETAY never asks for these either.
- ✕A deal that feels rushed, too-good-to-be-true, or won't put anything in writing.
