# Audit report > Audit the fixed-term paid-agreement candidate at the exact requested commit. Required entry: contracts/src/ClausDealEscrow.sol. Also examine contracts/test/ClausDealEscrow.t.sol, src/deals/index.mjs, src/deals/abi.mjs, runtime/deal-ports.mjs, the new API/gateway wiring and test/deals.test.mjs. Do not audit unrelated historical modules again. This candidate is not deployed or admitted; public deposits and automatic work-quality arbitration are not live. > > Check conservation of locked principal and withdrawal credits across individual deals and pre-funded recurring plans; authorization and immutable beneficiaries; claim/delivery/acceptance/dispute/timeout boundaries; cancellation of remaining plan funds without cancelling existing work; finite run counts, expectedRun replay prevention, deterministic IDs, forced ETH, reverting/reentrant recipients, EIP712 domain/replay/expiry and ERC1271 behavior. Admission may pause new deposits but must never freeze exits. The disclosed policy is payment to provider after 24 hours without a dispute, named arbiter during a three-day dispute window, and buyer refund on arbiter timeout. Assess abuse and trust assumptions explicitly; do not confuse requester acceptance or result hashes with objective correctness. No protocol can promise a model's judgment is infallible. > > Check that API preparation remains unsigned, bound to a scoped project's owner address and the exact pinned chain/code/contract; app sessions must not become payment authority. Public input cannot select RPC/ABI/deployment or create a signer. Native automatic IMD quality arbitration is intentionally not implemented yet; do not certify an absent decision path. Generated ABI must match the candidate. Report actual vulnerabilities separately from unavailable deployment/arbitration integration. Prefer focused reproductions over unrelated full suites.

Nothing in the repository was changed or deployed. ## Findings ### 1. Low: Immutable arbiter can be named as a deal or plan party and then decide disputes about its own work `contracts/src/ClausDealEscrow.sol:225` ``` if (worker == address(0) || worker == buyer || amount == 0 || amount > maximumDeal || projectId == 0 || termsHash == 0) revert InvalidTerms(); ``` _deal() (used by createDeal and runPlan) and createPlan reject a zero worker and worker == buyer, but never compare worker or buyer with the immutable arbiter. If the provider is the arbiter address, the disclosed dispute policy (named arbiter decides within three days, buyer refunded on arbiter timeout) is void for that agreement: inside the buyer's own dispute the provider signs a Resolution awarding themselves the full amount, and the timeout refund can never occur because the arbiter always answers. Symmetrically a buyer equal to the arbiter can sign workerAmount = 0 against any delivery. The API (src/deals/index.mjs fund/plan) accepts any non-zero worker, so nothing upstream prevents it. The buyer chooses the worker, so this is self-inflicted rather than theft, which bounds severity at low; but the contract advertises a neutral arbitration path that silently does not exist for such deals. Merged from audit_math (48e1d1c0). Fix preserving the design: add `|| worker == arbiter || buyer == arbiter` to the InvalidTerms condition in _deal(), and `worker == arbiter || msg.sender == arbiter` in createPlan so a plan fails early. Verified the fix makes the attached proof pass (fixed copy under contracts/test/scratch/FixedDealEscrow.sol). **Reproduction** State: escrow deployed with arbiter A = vm.addr(k), funding enabled. Buyer calls createDeal{value:1 ether}(salt, project, terms, worker = A, now + 2 days). Expected: revert InvalidTerms. Actual: deal created. A claims and delivers any hash; buyer disputes; A signs Resolution(id, 1 ether, evidence, expiry) with k and anyone calls resolve: credits[A] == 1 ether, buyer 0, no timeout refund possible. createPlan with worker = A also succeeds. Reproduced: contracts/test/scratch/ProofArbiterParty.t.sol fails 3/3 on current code (two 'next call did not revert', one 'self-awarded the full price: 1e18 != 0') and passes 3/3 against the fixed copy. **Proof**: a Foundry test that fails on this code and passes once it is fixed. ```solidity // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT pragma solidity 0.8.27; import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol"; import {ClausDealEscrow} from "src/ClausDealEscrow.sol"; /// The immutable arbiter may be named as a deal or plan provider.

Once the deal cannot be created, this passes. function testProviderArbiterCannotSelfResolve() public { vm.prank(buyer); try escrow.createDeal{value: 1 ether}(bytes32(uint256(1)), project, terms, arbiter, uint64(block.timestamp + 2 days)) returns (bytes32 id) { vm.startPrank(arbiter); escrow.claim(id); escrow.deliver(id, keccak256("anything")); vm.stopPrank(); vm.prank(buyer); escrow.dispute(id, keccak256("not what was agreed")); uint64 expiry = uint64(block.timestamp + 1 days); bytes memory sig = signed(id, 1 ether, keccak256("my own evidence"), expiry); escrow.resolve(id, 1 ether, keccak256("my own evidence"), expiry, sig); assertEq(escrow.credits(arbiter), 0, "provider who is also the arbiter self-awarded the full price"); } catch (bytes memory reason) { assertEq(bytes4(reason), ClausDealEscrow.InvalidTerms.selector); } } } ``` ### 2. Low: Unwithdrawn credits count against the immutable maximumPrincipal ceiling, so parked credits block all new funding with no admission remedy `contracts/src/ClausDealEscrow.sol:221` ``` if (totalLocked + totalCredits + msg.value > maximumPrincipal) revert CapacityReached(); ``` _fund() caps totalLocked + totalCredits + msg.value at maximumPrincipal. totalCredits is ETH already settled and withdrawable at will, not principal at risk in any agreement. One account can fill the ceiling, settle its own deals back to itself with cancelUnclaimed (no counterparty needed, gas only) and simply never withdraw. totalLocked is then 0, yet every createDeal/createPlan from every other buyer reverts CapacityReached for as long as the parker likes; dormant or lost-key credits shrink capacity the same way over time. The ceiling is immutable and the admission controller can only toggle fundingEnabled, so the only remedy is redeployment. Exits are unaffected (withdraw and all settlements still work), so this is a liveness/DoS issue for new admission only. Merged from audit_math (0cf5efed), audit_economics (58babff6) and audit_permissions (3dc04d6a). If the ceiling is meant to bound locked principal (its name says so), change the check to `totalLocked + msg.value > maximumPrincipal`; if it is meant to bound the contract's total ETH exposure, keep it and document that dormant credits permanently consume capacity. Either way it is a scope decision; the attached proof passes with the first option (fixed copy under contracts/test/scratch/FixedDealEscrow.sol). **Reproduction** State: maximumDeal = 1 ether, maximumPrincipal = 5 ether, funding enabled. Parker calls createDeal{1 ether}(salt i, ...) and cancelUnclaimed(id) for i = 1..5: totalLocked == 0, credits[parker] == 5 ether. Input: unrelated buyer calls createDeal{1 ether}(salt 99, ...). Expected: funded, nothing is locked. Actual: revert CapacityReached(). Reproduced: contracts/test/scratch/ProofCapacity.t.sol fails with CapacityReached() on current code and passes against the fixed copy. Note: the audit_economics proof (Proof_58babff6d1b2) fails here for the right reason but would still fail after the fix, because via-IR caches block.timestamp across vm.warp and its deliveryDue becomes stale (InvalidTerms); the attached proof avoids that. **Proof**: a Foundry test that fails on this code and passes once it is fixed. ```solidity // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT pragma solidity 0.8.27; import {Test} from "forge-std/Test.sol"; import {ClausDealEscrow} from "src/ClausDealEscrow.sol"; /// Settled-but-unwithdrawn credits still count against the immutable /// maximumPrincipal ceiling, so withdrawable credits parked by one account block /// every new deposit for everyone, at no cost and with no admission remedy. contract ProofCapacityTest is Test { ClausDealEscrow escrow; address parker = address(0xA11CE); address buyer = address(0xB0B); address worker = address(0xC0DE); bytes32 project = keccak256("owned-project"); bytes32 terms = keccak256("terms"); function setUp() public { escrow = new ClausDealEscrow(address(this), address(0xA5B1), 1 ether, 5 ether); escrow.setFundingEnabled(true); vm.deal(parker, 10 ether); vm.deal(buyer, 10 ether); } function testIdleCreditsDoNotBlockNewFunding() public { for (uint256 i = 1; i <= 5; i++) { vm.prank(parker); bytes32 id = escrow.createDeal{value: 1 ether}(bytes32(i), project, terms, worker, uint64(block.timestamp + 1 days)); vm.prank(parker); escrow.cancelUnclaimed(id); } assertEq(escrow.totalLocked(), 0, "nothing is locked in any agreement"); assertEq(escrow.credits(parker), 5 ether, "credits are withdrawable, not principal at risk"); // Expected: an unrelated buyer can fund a deal because no principal is locked. // Actual on current code: revert CapacityReached(). vm.prank(buyer); escrow.createDeal{value: 1 ether}(bytes32(uint256(99)), project, terms, worker, uint64(block.timestamp + 1 days)); } } ``` ### 3. Low: deal_prepare is gated by the read-only, fenced project.read scope, so a read delegate can obtain owner-address payment intents including withdraw to its own recipient `src/deals/index.mjs:21` ``` await identity.authorize(actor,'project.read',{projectId});const p=await identity.project(actor,projectId),owner=(await store.read('principals',p.ownerId))?.value; ``` prepare() authorizes only project.read and then sets the transaction sender to the project owner's verified wallet. project.read is a delegable mandate scope and is in FENCED_ACTIONS (src/identity/index.mjs:16), so it keeps working while the project is suspended or mid-transfer. A credential granted only read access can therefore get server-produced, simulated, intent-hashed transactions from the owner wallet: withdraw(amount, delegateRecipient), createDeal to an arbitrary worker, createPlan with up to 100 runs, cancelPlan, refund. Nothing is signed or sent and no code in the repository auto-signs intents, so the owner must still sign; severity is low. But the platform elsewhere uses wallet.pay/wallet.manage for payment authority (src/wallets/index.mjs), and here a read grant becomes the authority to originate payment intents that the API presents as prepared for the project (state prepared-not-sent, intentHash, rules). Such intents can be relayed to owner tooling for blind signing. App sessions are correctly blocked (allowed() returns false for kind 'app', deal_prepare is not in APP_SESSION_ACTIONS; verified by test/deals.test.mjs). Merged from audit_economics (86b61e1f) and audit_permissions (528cd2cc). Fix: require the owner principal (identity.owner) or a payment-specific non-fenced scope (wallet.pay or a new deal.prepare) for all deal_prepare actions, keeping project.read for deal_get/deal_terms; update docs/paid-deals.md accordingly. **Reproduction** Using test/apps-fixture.mjs with stub dealPorts: owner calls agent_create{projectId,name}, mandate_create{projectId, principalId: agent.id, scopes:['project.read']}, credential_create{mandateId}. With that token: service.execute('deal_prepare', {projectId, chainId: 11155111, action: 'withdraw', input: {amountWei: '1000000000000000000', recipient: }}). Expected: scope_denied. Actual: state 'prepared-not-sent', transaction.from == owner wallet (0x6196...1ceb in the run), calldata decodes to withdraw(1e18, ). Reproduced with node --test test/scratch/readscope.test.mjs (assertion 'scope_denied' fails, result printed). ### 4. Low: runPlan is permissionless: a worker can front-run cancelPlan with runPlan+claim to lock one more price, and any third party can start a run early and strand the plan `contracts/src/ClausDealEscrow.sol:188` ``` function runPlan(bytes32 id, uint32 expectedRun) external returns (bytes32 nextDeal) { ``` runPlan has no caller check and claim has no delay after funding, so the run cadence of a pre-funded plan is controlled by whoever calls first. Two concrete consequences: (1) A worker (contract or bundled txs) who sees the buyer's cancelPlan in the mempool executes runPlan(id, runs) then claim(dealId) ahead of it. cancelPlan then returns only remaining minus price, the new deal is Working so cancelUnclaimed reverts WrongState, and the buyer is bound for deliverySeconds (up to 30 days) plus the review/dispute path for a run they tried to cancel. Loss is bounded to one price per cancellation and remains subject to arbitration. (2) A stranger can call runPlan the instant nextAt allows (even front-running plan creation, since planId is derivable). deliveryDue starts on the stranger's schedule; if the provider misses it, settleExpired refunds that run and runPlan is blocked forever for the plan (lastDeal.workerPaid != price), so the buyer must cancel and create a new plan. docs/paid-deals.md says 'Anyone may trigger a due run', so this is documented design reported as an abuse assessment, not a bypass. Merged from audit_flow (be86b5e4), audit_permissions (517f8a01) and audit_math (35fe411c). Fix options, each a scope decision: restrict runPlan to p.buyer (or buyer-or-worker), and/or give the buyer a cancelUnclaimed window by requiring a minimum delay between run creation and claim, or state explicitly in the rules that one in-flight run can survive cancellation. **Reproduction** (1) createPlan{value:2 ether}(..., worker = WorkerBot, price 1 ether, maximumRuns 2, interval 60, deliverySeconds 1 day, expiresAt now+30d) by buyer. WorkerBot.runAndClaim(plan, 0) = runPlan + claim in one tx (modelling the front-run). Buyer calls cancelPlan(plan). Expected: buyer recovers budget including the run it never wanted. Actual: credits[buyer] == 1 ether, getDeal(run0).state == Working, cancelUnclaimed(run0) reverts WrongState, totalLocked == 1 ether. (2) createPlan with deliverySeconds = 1 hour; address 0x5712A (neither party) calls runPlan(plan, 0): succeeds. Warp 1 hour + 1 s with no claim; settleExpired(id) credits buyer 1 ether; runPlan(plan, 1) reverts WrongState permanently; buyer must cancelPlan to recover the remaining 2 ether. Reproduced: contracts/test/scratch/Probe.t.sol testWorkerBotFrontRunsCancelPlan and testStrangerTriggersRunAndStrandsPlan both pass on current code, demonstrating the behaviour. ### 5. Low: PlanRun event emits the post-increment run index while expectedRun and the run deal-id derivation are zero-based `contracts/src/ClausDealEscrow.sol:198` ``` emit PlanRun(id, p.runs, nextDeal); ``` runPlan derives nextDeal from the pre-increment counter (`"run", id, p.runs` with p.runs == expectedRun, line 192), increments p.runs (line 193) and then emits PlanRun(id, p.runs, nextDeal) with the post-increment value. The first run therefore emits run == 1 for the deal whose id was built with index 0, while docs/paid-deals.md and the API describe expectedRun as explicit zero-based. Off-chain code that recomputes keccak256(abi.encode(chainid, escrow, "run", planId, event.run)) derives a non-existent deal id, and an agent that feeds event.run back as expectedRun to retry the observed run reverts WrongState (it is actually the next run). Harmless on chain; an integration footgun. Merged from audit_flow (ca2d9635), audit_math (09462ba1) and audit_permissions (a1717056). Fix: emit PlanRun(id, expectedRun, nextDeal) (or p.runs - 1), or document that the event carries the next expectedRun. **Reproduction** createPlan(..., maximumRuns 1); runPlan(plan, 0). Expected: PlanRun(plan, 0, id) with id == keccak256(abi.encode(block.chainid, escrow, "run", plan, uint32(0))). Actual: returned id matches that derivation but the event's run field == 1. Reproduced: contracts/test/scratch/Probe.t.sol testPlanRunEventIndex fails with 'event run index should match expectedRun / id derivation: 1 != 0' on current code. ### 6. Low: Malformed or incomplete CLAUS_DEAL_PINS takes down the whole gateway, not only the deal routes `api/gateway.mjs:21` ``` return { store, intakePorts, app: createApplication({ dealPorts:dealPorts(),appWritesEnabled:process.env.CLAUS_APPS_WRITES_ENABLED!=='0', appStorage:process.env.CLAUS_APPS_ENABLED==='1'?await openAppPostgres({pool}):null, store, origin: process.env.CLAUS_NETWORK_ORIGIN, ``` dealPorts() is evaluated eagerly inside the lazy application() loader of api/gateway.mjs (and in runtime/server.mjs main). JSON.parse of CLAUS_DEAL_PINS, the pin-shape check, the missing-RPC check (chain_not_configured) and the https check all throw synchronously, which rejects the loaded promise, resets loaded = null, and makes the request handler's catch answer 503 service_unavailable for every route, including unrelated public reads and app routes, until the environment is fixed. Fail-closed is right for deals, but the blast radius exceeds the module that owns the config; a typo in a deal pin becomes a full outage. Does not affect on-chain exits. Merged from audit_permissions (b4079476) and the robustness note in audit_math (cef9b646). Fix: construct deal ports lazily or catch construction errors and expose a ports object whose context() throws invalid_deal_pins, so only deal routes degrade. **Reproduction** Config: CLAUS_DEAL_PINS='{' -> dealPorts() throws SyntaxError; CLAUS_DEAL_PINS set to a valid Sepolia pin with CLAUS_SEPOLIA_RPC_URL unset -> dealPorts() throws chain_not_configured (both reproduced by calling dealPorts(env) directly in node). In api/gateway.mjs the call sits inside the application() promise (line 21); the catch at line 23 sets loaded = null and rethrows, and handler() (line 28, catch at line 88) returns 503 for any URL. Expected: deal routes answer deals_not_enabled while other routes keep serving. Actual: every request returns service_unavailable. ### 7. Low: Every public deal read fans out to nine upstream RPC calls, re-verifying immutables on each request `runtime/deal-ports.mjs:21` ``` const c={...entry,block};const [enabled,arbiter,admissionController,maximumDeal,maximumPrincipal]=await Promise.all(['fundingEnabled','arbiter','admissionController','maximumDeal','maximumPrincipal'].map(n=>call(c,n))); ``` context() performs getChainId, getBlock, getBytecode (full runtime code) and five eth_call reads (fundingEnabled, arbiter, admissionController, maximumDeal, maximumPrincipal) before the actual getDeal/getPlan read, for every unauthenticated deal_terms, deal_get and deal_plan_get request and every deal_prepare (which adds simulate + estimateGas). arbiter, admissionController, maximumDeal and maximumPrincipal are immutables already bound by the pinned codeHash, so re-reading them per request adds cost without assurance. The per-peer 5-minute window limiter in runtime/server.mjs (admit) bounds request count but not the ~9x amplification against the host's RPC quota, and any transient RPC failure surfaces as deal_pin_mismatch/503 for all deal routes. Low: cost and availability only. From audit_permissions (c55a4576). Fix: cache the verified context per chain keyed by block number or a short TTL, verify immutables once per codeHash, and read only fundingEnabled plus the requested entity per request. **Reproduction** Local https JSON-RPC stub (self-signed cert, NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0) counting requests; pin codeHash = keccak256 of the stub's returned code. ports.context(11155111) issues 8 calls (eth_chainId, eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_getCode, 5x eth_call); ports.read(c, 'deal', id) issues a 9th eth_call. Expected: one or two upstream calls per public read. Actual: 9. Reproduced with node test/scratch/rpccount.mjs (prints 'context calls: 8 total for one deal_get: 9'). ### 8. Info: Trust assumptions of the disclosed policy: timeout auto-pay lets a provider convert a whole plan to credits without buyer action, zero-cost disputes plus a silent arbiter mean unpaid work, and a singl `contracts/src/ClausDealEscrow.sol:171` ``` else if (d.state == State.Disputed && block.timestamp > d.resolutionDue) _settle(id, 0, 0); ``` These implement the disclosed policy (docs/paid-deals.md sections 3-4) and are reported as the explicit abuse/trust assessment, not as bypasses. (1) settleExpired pays the full price to the worker once a Submitted deal passes reviewDue, and the plan gate only requires the previous run to be Settled with workerPaid == price. A provider can chain runPlan -> claim -> deliver(any non-zero hash) -> 24 h -> settleExpired for every run of a plan with zero buyer involvement after createPlan; a plan is effectively an unconditional pre-authorization of maximumRuns payments absent timely disputes or cancelPlan. (2) dispute() needs only a non-zero reasonHash and gas; if the arbiter does not produce a valid signature within 3 days the buyer keeps both the work and the money, so provider payment on every disputed deal depends entirely on arbiter liveness and honesty, with no fee or incentive defined on chain and nothing distinguishing bona fide from strategic disputes. (3) The arbiter is a single immutable address with no rotation; a compromised key or a misbehaving ERC-1271 contract can split every Disputed deal arbitrarily between its own buyer and worker (never to a third party, never above d.amount); the only remedy is redeployment. (4) resolve is permissionless, so a signed decision can be submitted by anyone until expiresAt and cannot be revoked by a later contradictory signature. (5) accept() and refund() stay callable in Disputed state, so either party can voluntarily override a pending decision in the other party's favour. (6) Resolution binds chainId, verifying contract, dealId, workerAmount, evidenceHash and expiresAt; it does not bind resultHash or disputeHash, so evidenceHash is the only link to what was judged; replay is prevented because a deal settles once. (7) Requester acceptance, result hashes and arbiter decisions are commitments, not proof of correctness. ERC-1271 verified: a contract arbiter returning the magic value resolves; a reverting arbiter is rejected via staticcall tolerance and the timeout exit still works. Merged from audit_flow (0950f1bd, b40f9153), audit_math (0613f88f) and audit_permissions (459cfda4). No code change proposed; disclose (1)-(3) to providers and buyers in the terms and consider a rotatable or multi-signer arbiter before admission. **Reproduction** (1) createPlan{value:3 ether}(..., price 1 ether, maximumRuns 3, interval 60, deliverySeconds 1 day, expiresAt now+30d) by buyer; worker loops runPlan(plan,i), claim, deliver(keccak256('anything')), warp +1 day +1 s, settleExpired for i=0..2: credits[worker] == 3 ether, credits[buyer] == 0 with no buyer transaction after createPlan (contracts/test/scratch/Probe.t.sol testWorkerDrainsPlanWithoutBuyerAction passes). (2) createDeal{1 ether}; worker claims and delivers; buyer dispute(id, keccak256('x')); no resolve; warp 3 days + 1 s; anyone calls settleExpired: credits[buyer] == 1 ether, credits[worker] == 0 (testBuyerDisputeWithSilentArbiterRefundsBuyer passes). ERC-1271: testErc1271Arbiters passes (OkArbiter resolves 0.5 ether with an empty signature; RevertingArbiter -> Unauthorized, then timeout refund). ### 9. Info: Force-sent ETH is permanently stranded but does not affect accounting `contracts/src/ClausDealEscrow.sol:61` ``` uint256 public totalLocked; ``` The contract has no receive/fallback and no sweep, matching the stated design (no proxy, administrator sweep or fees). ETH forced in via SELFDESTRUCT or as a block reward is unrecoverable. All accounting is internal (totalLocked, totalCredits, credits), so forced ETH cannot inflate any credit, and the capacity check in _fund ignores the raw balance; the invariant totalLocked + totalCredits <= address(this).balance holds. Conservation across deals, plans, cancellation and withdrawal also verified (testConservation). From audit_flow (a6ef4ba8). No action required. **Reproduction** Deploy a helper with 1 ether whose constructor selfdestructs to the escrow. Expected/actual: address(escrow).balance == 1 ether while totalLocked + totalCredits == 0 and no function can move it. Reproduced: contracts/test/scratch/Probe.t.sol testForcedEthStuck passes. ### 10. Info: Unavailable integration, not certified: no deployment pin, no resolve action or decision signer in the API, and no automatic quality arbitration path `src/deals/index.mjs:31` ``` }else if(['claim','accept','refund','settle','cancelUnclaimed','cancelPlan','expirePlan'].includes(action)){ ``` Reported separately from vulnerabilities, as asked. Verified at this commit: (a) src/deals/abi.mjs equals the ABI forge 1.8.3 / solc 0.8.27 produces for contracts/src/ClausDealEscrow.sol (55 entries, order-insensitive JSON comparison, equal: true); (b) deal_prepare returns state 'prepared-not-sent', from is the project owner's stored principal address, no signer exists anywhere in src/deals or runtime/deal-ports.mjs; (c) chainId is restricted to {1, 11155111}, pins and RPC URLs come only from CLAUS_DEAL_PINS / CLAUS_*_RPC_URL (https only, at most 2 pins, reviewed === true), runtime code hash, arbiter and admissionController are rechecked at the observed block, and the prepared transaction is rechecked for chainId/to/from/value; public input cannot select RPC, ABI, deployment or create a signer; (d) app-session credentials are rejected by allowed() and deal_prepare is not in APP_SESSION_ACTIONS (test/deals.test.mjs passes). Not certified: contracts/DEPLOYMENTS.json and CLAUS_DEAL_PINS contain no pin for this contract, so deal_terms reports enabled:false and every prepare returns deals_not_enabled; the action list offers no resolve, nothing produces Resolution EIP-712 signatures, and no automatic IMD/model work-quality arbitration exists in the contract or the API. Until that integration exists and is reviewed, every dispute ends in buyer refund after three days.
