@Jeremy Lee yeah if you meant the escrow payment/deposit, yes it is refundable to buyer when delivery isn't confirmed. Also, on the use case, takeover doesn't serve or purpose isn't to replace a missed reservation with another reservation. Not a reservation system – it's a marketplace for released capacity. It was built for providers that wish to sell slots with real monetary value attached to it, use case examples- slots already paid for(paid booking not reservation) and not met up with, scarce slots that were canceled last minute and need to be filled(reservations cancelled) and actually paid for. Basically scarcity is the whole idea - you paid for it in full but can't meet up and use it, there's not a lot available currently and I need this now so I pay you to take your slot. It wouldn't however work with replacement for free reservations because there would be nothing to pay for – there's nothing to escrow, nothing to release, no value to transfer. Also planned reservations(e.g reservation made two weeks in advance)isn't the target market here as they are not last minute(scarce) capacity and don't need takeover.
