<h1>When Is My Card Charged?</h1><p>When you click <strong>Accept & Pay</strong> on a DJ's Proposal, your card is charged for the <strong>full amount immediately</strong>.</p><h2>Why Do We Charge Upfront?</h2><p>Charging upfront secures the booking and proves to the DJ that you are a serious client. However, <strong>the DJ does not receive the money immediately.</strong></p><p>DJfindr holds the funds securely in escrow. We only release the payout to the DJ <em>after</em> the event has been successfully completed. This ensures that if the DJ fails to show up, your money is safe and can be fully refunded.</p>
