Clear rules.
Zero small-print traps.

Cross-border commerce requires mutual certainty. We write our contracts in plain English first, followed by rigorous legal enforcement, so both buyers and makers know exactly where they stand.

Seller Agreement

Factories commit to producing exclusively within their declared facility (zero unauthorized subcontracting), granting unfettered floor access to Proov Inspectors, and honoring fixed reverse-auction bids without post-award price escalation.

Buyer Agreement

Buyers commit to locking clear Point of Measure (POM) CAD files, reviewing physical golden samples within 5 business days, and releasing escrow milestones promptly once on-site inspection criteria are met.
