Binding on every BLACKVAULT contract.
House rules
Opening, accepting or funding a contract means both parties accept these rules in full. Where a contract's terms and these rules disagree, these rules win — and the operator's interpretation of both is final.
73 rules · last updated 2026-11-09 · the version on this page is the version in force
- 1One account per person. Everything done through your account is your doing — a leaked session, a shared login, a “friend” who opened a dispute. No email and no IP is stored; lose the password and the account is gone.
- 2Opsec is your job. Come in over Tor or a VPN, verify the site's PGP fingerprint on the landing page before trusting anything, and never paste contract details into channels you do not control.
- 3BLACKVAULT is escrow, not a marketplace. No matchmaking, no vetting, no ratings. You chose your counterparty; the contract is the only thing standing between you and them.
- 4Off-platform deals are invisible. If it is not in the contract description or on the timeline, arbitration will not consider it.
- 5Say it on the timeline. Delivery proof, refund addresses, warranty windows, screenshots — the timeline is the record of record and the only chat the operator reads.
- 6Do not ask the operator to bend these rules — a fee discount for one deal, an early payout before release, a reveal of who you are. The answer is no; asking twice is a warning.
- 7Impersonating BLACKVAULT or the operator anywhere is a permanent ban, and any funds you hold in escrow are forfeit.
- 8Both parties need accounts first. A contract is only as real as its counterparty's login.
- 9Write terms arbitration can read — it will have to. “Website hack” is not a term. “Admin access to the WordPress site named in the contract, delivered with proof within 7 days of funding” is.
- 10The description must answer: what is sold, how much, delivered how, by when, and what counts as done. Measurable terms win disputes; vibes lose them.
- 11Amounts are whole coins (8 decimals max) in BTC, LTC or USDT on TRC20, fixed at opening. No fiat, no other chains, no “we'll price it later”.
- 12The fee is 3% of the seller's payout, fixed at opening. The operator may adjust it only at resolution, only with a written reason on the timeline.
- 13The buyer sends the exact amount in one transfer to the assigned address. One address per contract — never reused, never shared, and not a wallet.
- 14Underpayment does not fund. The contract waits until the full amount has arrived; top up exactly, or cancel and take the refund.
- 15Overpayment is flagged on the timeline and returned at payout. Do not park spare coins on escrow addresses.
- 16Deposit detection is automatic (BTC 2 confirmations · LTC 4 · USDT ~20 TRON blocks), but the chain is the truth. If an explorer lags, a transaction still counts from when it actually confirmed.
- 17From FUNDED onward, coins move only on release, refund or resolution. The operator pays out of escrow, never out of pocket, and never before the contract allows it.
- 18Fund within 48 hours or say why on the timeline. Contracts unfunded for 7 days or more may be cancelled by the operator to free the deposit address.
- 19If the buyer goes silent after funding, the operator may refund after 30 days. Post a refund address on the timeline before you disappear — otherwise the refund waits for you.
- 20The seller delivers per the terms and posts the evidence on the timeline. Undocumented delivery is no delivery.
- 21The buyer has 72 hours from the delivery post to release or dispute. Silence past 72 hours may be read as acceptance — a seller who has delivered and been ignored can open a dispute to force a ruling.
- 22Inspect before you release. Release is final authorization: no dispute after it, no undo, no “one more look”.
- 23Warranties live in the contract text (“dead cards replaced 1:1 within 6 hours”), not in memory or goodwill. An unwritten warranty is unenforceable.
- 24If the deal becomes impossible — target patched, account banned before handover — post it on the timeline immediately. Contracts that rot silently resolve against whoever went quiet.
- 25Delivering outside the contract and then asking escrow to cover it later is not a strategy. It is a lost dispute.
- 26The buyer releases. The operator then pays the seller from escrow, minus the fee, to the payout address on the contract.
- 27Payouts are manual and receipted with a txid on the timeline — usually within hours, always within 24 hours of release. Panic posts at hour two are read; they are not answered first.
- 28Refunds are always fee-free, in the amount that actually arrived on-chain.
- 29Network fees ride with the money: payout fees reduce the seller's net, refund fees reduce the refund. Quote your terms accordingly.
- 30Only the operator records payouts and refunds on a contract. A txid posted by anyone else is a claim; the contract status is the receipt.
- 31Either party can dispute from FUNDED onward, with a reason. After that, both sides state their case on the timeline.
- 32Evidence wins: screenshots with context, chat exports, txids, access logs. The timeline is the court record; he-said-she-said is not evidence.
- 33The operator resolves in one of three ways — full release, full refund, or a partial split with txids for both transfers. All three end the contract.
- 34When a dispute opens, each side has 72 hours to state its case. A missed window forfeits the argument, not the coins.
- 35Frivolous disputes are noticed. Repeatedly disputing against your own contract's written terms ends in a ban.
- 36The operator's word is final. No appeal, no revote, no second operator.
- 37BLACKVAULT arbitrates the coins in escrow. It does not hunt people, subpoena banks, or reverse off-chain losses.
- 38Gaps in these rules are closed by the operator on the timeline, with the written contract first in line. Then they stay closed.
BLACKVAULT exists for digital blackhat work. The categories below carry their own rules on top of the general ones above — read both before you open a contract in them.
Intrusion, access sales, and the work that follows them.
- 39Scope is written before funding: target, access level, deadline, and what proof of completion looks like.
- 40Proof of delivery is demonstrated access or delivered artifacts — a working panel, a dump, screenshots taken inside the target. Claims are not artifacts.
- 41Persistence after payout is a new contract. Re-entering access you already sold is theft, and it resolves against the seller every time.
- 42After handover, the target's own defenses — resets, patches, WAFs — are the buyer's problem. You bought access, not the future.
Cards, dumps and carded goods — physical and electronic.
- 43Per-unit details in the terms: BIN, level, country, balance where it applies, and the checked-at date. “Good cards” is not a detail.
- 44Replacement terms are written numbers: “dead-on-arrival replaced 1:1 within 6 hours of the delivery report.” No number, no replacement.
- 45Live check windows beat claims. If the goods allow it, agree a check window in the contract and inspect together — it is the cleanest dispute prevention there is.
- 46Physical carded goods: once the seller posts proof of shipment, the shipping risk is the buyer's. Electronic carded goods follow the normal inspection window.
- 47Chargebacks after release are between the buyer and their bank. The escrow is closed; do not try to reopen it.
Bank logs, aged accounts, mail access, socials.
- 48The seller hands over the original email and the recovery paths, not just a password. An account the buyer cannot hold is half-delivered.
- 49The buyer changes credentials immediately and posts “received, changed” on the timeline — that timestamp starts the warranty clock.
- 50Recovery or lock claims within 72 hours of handover are disputes; after that, the account is the buyer's, entirely.
- 51Selling one account to two buyers is fraud, and it resolves that way every time.
Databases, mail lists, fullz, leads.
- 52Sample before coins. The seller provides a verifiable sample; the buyer checks it before funding. Arbitration treats a refused sample as a bad sign.
- 53Freshness, row count and dedupe policy are contract terms. Bulk is not quality.
- 54The data must be what it claims to be — working mails, real rows, the named source. Sold-as-X, delivered-as-Y resolves against the seller.
Turning dirty digits into clean coins, at a written percentage.
- 55Percentage, window and minimum are fixed numbers in the contract. “Market rate” is not a number.
- 56Clean coins in, clean coins out. Complaints about the taint of your own inputs are your complaints.
- 57Chargeback risk after release belongs to whoever accepted it in the terms — which was both of you.
Custom malware, stealers, exploits, 0-days, tooling.
- 58Split large builds into milestone contracts — fund, deliver the stage, release, repeat. One contract per milestone; nothing here limits how many you open.
- 59Delivered means source or binary plus build and run instructions on the timeline. “Works on my machine” is a support question, not a delivery dispute.
- 60Exclusivity for private exploits and 0-days is a written term of the contract. Selling the same 0-day to someone else mid-escrow is fraud.
DDoS, boosting, SEO spam, documents, doxxing, tutorials.
- 61DDoS, boosting, SEO spam, forged documents, doxxing reports, tutorials, write-ups — all escrowable. State the output, the duration, and how completion gets verified.
- 62Time-based services state their measurement: monitored uptime, delivered followers, indexed links — verified how, and by when.
- 63Unlisted category? If it is not in the prohibited list below, it is probably fine — ask the operator by PGP before funding.
- 64CSAM — zero tolerance, no exceptions. Any contract that touches child sexual abuse material is cancelled on sight, both parties banned, funds forfeit. This rule has never been waived and never will be.
- 65Weapons and firearms — no guns, ammunition, blades or explosives. This is a digital-services escrow.
- 66Drugs and narcotics — take them to a market that sells them.
- 67Violence for hire — no. Humans are not targets here.
- 68Human trafficking — no, with the same certainty as rule 64.
- 69Contracts against BLACKVAULT itself — the operator, the site, its wallets and infrastructure. Do not card your escrow agent; deals that do resolve however the operator likes.
- 70Penalties escalate: a warning, then a fee surcharge on future contracts, then a temporary ban, then a permanent ban with forfeiture of whatever sits in escrow.
- 71Scam attempts skip the ladder — fake proof, double-selling, forged dispute evidence goes straight to permanent, funds forfeit.
- 72A banned user keeps no arbitration rights; open contracts resolve per the operator's last ruling.
- 73The operator may refuse any contract before funding, for any reason or none. Nothing personal.
Rules change when they change — the version on this page is the version in force, and opening a contract binds both parties to it. The short version: write clear terms, keep your evidence on the timeline, inspect before you release, and the operator's word is final.
