The paper.

Estable runs a membership marketplace: member companies on one side, referenced Specialist firms on the other, and Estable between them as curator and coordinator. The rules of that marketplace are written down before they are needed. This page states them in plain language; the instruments below are named, and the standing text of each publishes here when it takes effect.

I. The covenants.

Four commitments hold across everything in stock and every scoped engagement, and no tier, promotion, or amendment reaches around them.

The price is the builder’s price plus 15%. Every item carries the price its builder set. Estable’s fee is added on top of that number and is capped at fifteen percent of it: on top, never out of it. The Specialist receives one hundred percent of their price. The figure a member sees before purchase is the whole figure; nothing further is added at settlement except taxes required by law.

Tiers change benefits, never prices. Membership tiers differ in service: response times, reviews, early access. Prices in stock and the fee cap are identical for every tier.

Every binding moment passes a human gate. No engagement forms, and no charge is made, without a recorded human approval: scope, price, and counterparty, decided by a named person and kept in an append-only record.

The wall stands. A Specialist sees only what a job requires: never another member’s work, never commercial terms that aren’t theirs, never contact details outside a granted engagement. The wall is enforced in the database, and it is also a contractual obligation, so an attempt to reach around it is a breach, not merely a failed query.

II. The structure of a purchase.

Each purchase or scoped project is a direct contract between the member and the Specialist firm, formed on the Standard Terms of Engagement at a recorded approval gate. Estable is not a party to that engagement. Estable acts as the specialist’s disclosed collection agent (a member’s payment to Estable discharges the payment obligation), performs the platform duties stated in the membership agreement, and holds named enforcement rights under the engagement terms. One engagement, one record: the work order is the written scope, the price, and the state.

III. The instruments.

Three instruments govern the marketplace. Each is executed electronically at a recorded gate, and each acceptance is bound in an append-only ledger to the exact version signed: its text, its hash, the signer, and the moment. A published version is never edited; amendments are a new version, prospective only, and material changes are re-presented for affirmative acceptance.

The Specialist Agreement: Specialist admission, dues, the payment covenant, confidentiality and data protection, non-circumvention, and intellectual property. Version 1 is in effect, and its standing text publishes here.

The Membership Agreement: what membership is, the pricing covenants, the structure of purchases, and the responsibilities that come with access.

The Standard Terms of Engagement: the per-engagement terms every work order incorporates: performance, acceptance, warranty and remedies, member data, fees, and liability.

The Membership Agreement and the Standard Terms of Engagement are both operative: each is published as standing text and is recorded against its exact wording. Members accept the Membership Agreement before they can order; the Standard Terms of Engagement are incorporated into every work order at its recorded approval gate.
