Receiving a deal offer on Lemyi means a brand is ready to move forward under clear, verified terms. This is the moment where interest becomes a real commitment, and it’s also where creators have full control over whether the work proceeds.

A deal offer is never casual. It is a finalized proposal reviewed by Lemyi to ensure scope, payment, and usage rights are clearly defined before it reaches you.


Reviewing a deal offer

Before accepting or declining, take time to review the deal carefully. Everything included in the deal reflects what the brand expects and what you are agreeing to deliver.

You should review:

  • The exact deliverables and quantity

  • The timeline and deadlines

  • How the content will be used

  • The compensation amount

  • Any job-specific conditions

If something feels unclear or misaligned, assume it will not change later unless Lemyi intervenes. The deal is meant to remove ambiguity, not create it.


What accepting a deal means

When you accept a deal, you are agreeing to the defined scope and terms.

Accepting a deal does not mean work starts immediately.

Work on Lemyi only begins after:

  • The brand accepts and funds the deal

  • Payment is confirmed by Lemyi

  • You have accepted the deal

Once these steps are completed:

  • The deal becomes active

  • Messaging opens for that deal

  • You can begin work knowing payment is secured

This sequence exists to protect creators from unpaid work and shifting expectations.


What declining a deal means

Declining a deal is always allowed and does not negatively affect your account.

Creators decline deals for many valid reasons, including:

  • Timing or availability issues

  • Scope not matching effort required

  • Usage rights that don’t align with your preferences

  • Compensation that doesn’t fit the work

When you decline:

  • The deal attempt ends

  • The job remains active

  • The brand may request an offer from another creator

Declining a deal is a professional decision and is better than accepting something you cannot deliver well.


What you should never do before a deal is funded

Until a deal is accepted and funded, you should not:

  • Start working on drafts or concepts

  • Share scripts, outlines, or previews

  • Deliver any form of content

  • Communicate off the platform

These boundaries are enforced to protect creators and maintain fairness.


Responding thoughtfully

Deal offers may have response time expectations. While you should not rush, responding within a reasonable timeframe helps brands move forward and reflects professionalism.

If you need clarification before deciding, it’s better to ask questions than to accept a deal you are unsure about.
