Turms MAD STores

Introduction

Turms MAD Stores is a Decentralized, Anonymous Ethereum-based Marketplace. It uses Ethereum Smart Contracts to:

• keep track of sellers products, prices and inventory
• maintain a list of product categories
• provide escrow services between sellers and buyers
• it uses Turms Anonymous Message Transport for communications between sellers and buyers

MAD Escrow

MAD stands for Mutually Assurred Destruction. In every purchase transaction both parties place a bond into escrow. If either party cheats, then both parties lose their deposits!

• When you purchase an item in MAD Stores you will deposit 150% of the price into an escrow account.
• Automatically, the seller will also deposit a bond into the escrow account, equal to 50% of the purchase price.
• All funds are released from the MAD Escrow when the buyer confirms satisfactory delivery of the product.
• If the product was not as advertised, or was if it was not delivered, then the buyer and seller are encouraged to communicate, using Turms Anonymous Message Transport, to work out a satisfactory resolution.
• In case no resolution can be reached, the buyer has the option to "burn" the escrow. That is, to destroy all the funds that are held in the Escrow.
