# Collateral, Refunds & Buyer Protection

To ensure **buyer security**, YapTrade implements strict collateral requirements for Kaito airdrop rights sales. If a seller fails to deliver, their collateral is forfeited to the buyer, ensuring that buyers are fully compensated for non-compliance.

If the agreed amount is not reached, the buyer will receive a full refund **solely for the missing votes**, including the corresponding fees for **those missing votes only**.

For example, if the agreement is for 1 million votes at $20k including fees, but only 900k votes are delivered, the buyer would receive a full refund for solely the 100k missing votes and the fees related to those 100k votes, which would amount to $2k. The rest of the payment, $18k, for the 900k delivered votes, would not be refunded.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://yaptrade.gitbook.io/yaptrade/security-and-escrow/collateral-and-refunds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
