Freelancer will invoice Client for Freelancer Fees on a weekly basis through Upwork, and Client will
pay invoices consistent with the Hourly Escrow Instructions. When Client approves an Hourly Invoice for an Hourly
Contract, Client automatically and irrevocably authorizes and instructs Upwork or its Affiliate, Upwork Escrow or Elance
Fixed-Price Contracts.
Client becomes obligated to pay applicable amounts into the Escrow Account immediately upon
sending a Fixed-Price Contract offer (for the full amount or for the first milestone, if milestones are used) or upon
activating any additional milestone. When Client authorizes the payment of the Freelancer Fees for a Fixed-Price Contract
on the Site, Client automatically and irrevocably authorizes and instructs Upwork or its Affiliates, Upwork Escrow or
Elance Ltd., to charge Client’s Payment Method for the Freelancer Fees.
Client acknowledges and agrees that for both Hourly Contracts and Fixed-Price Contracts, failure by Client to decline or
dispute an Hourly Invoice or request for payment is an authorization and instruction to release payment, as described
more fully in the applicable Escrow Instructions.
6.3 DISBURSEMENTS TO FREELANCERS ON SERVICE CONTRACTS
Under the relevant Escrow Instructions, Upwork Escrow disburses funds that are available in the applicable Freelancer
Escrow Account and payable to a Freelancer upon Freelancer’s request. A Freelancer can request disbursement of
available funds any time on a one-time basis or by setting up an automatic disbursement schedule. If Freelancer does not
request a disbursement, Upwork will automatically disburse available funds no more than 90 days after the Freelancer
Fees are released to the Freelancer Escrow Account, unless the amount in the Escrow Account is less than the Minimum
Threshold. For purposes of the Terms of Service, a “Minimum Threshold” is either (a) $100 for Freelancers within the
United States, or (b) $1,000 for Freelancers outside the United States. When the funds in the Freelancer Escrow Account
are below the Minimum Threshold, the automatic disbursement schedule is paused and the available and payable funds
are released on the earlier of: (i) Freelancer’s request; (ii) on the first scheduled automatic disbursement occurring after
the amount exceeds the Minimum Threshold; or (iii) 180 days after the funds are available in the Freelancer Escrow
Account.
