money, plus any applicable Intramediar.com fee and/or a fee from a third-party
provider (e.g. online marketplace), in the escrow account.
(2) If the payee joins the escrow payment, the payer will only be requested to deposit the agreed amount of money, plus any applicable Intramediar.com fee and/or a fee from a third-party provider (e.g. online marketplace), in the escrow account after the payee has joined.
