Anti-Circumvention Policy

v2.1 · Effective 1 Jan 2026

Why This Policy Exists

DALIL operates as a protected, trusted marketplace. When parties circumvent the platform, both sides lose: no payment escrow protection, no audit trail, no dispute mechanism, and no licence verification. This policy protects both Finders and Professionals.

Prohibited Conduct

✗Sharing any phone number (mobile or landline)

✗Sharing email addresses outside the platform context

✗Referencing WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or any messaging app

✗Sharing LinkedIn, Instagram, or any social media profile

✗Requesting payment via bank transfer, cash, or any channel outside DALIL

✗Suggesting continuation of work after matter closure outside DALIL

✗Referencing other legal marketplaces or platforms

✗Using coded language designed to obscure contact sharing

How We Detect Violations

1.Automated pattern matching on all platform messages (phone number regex, email patterns, social handles)

2.AI-powered contextual analysis for coded or obfuscated contact sharing

3.User reporting — parties can report suspected circumvention from within any conversation

4.Payment anomaly detection — transactions inconsistent with platform billing records
