The other party is the person on the other side of your agreement.
For example, you are selling apples to Henry for $10 a bushel. Henry would be the other party.
You may designate the other party by typing their username or email address in the appropriate field. Typing the party’s username is the preferable option and will ensure the person has a Hush account already. If you’re not sure whether the other party has a Hush account, that’s okay. Just use their email.
Whichever option you choose, we cannot display the other party’s legal name to protect their privacy until after they accept your offer. So it’s best to make sure you verify their email or username beforehand.
If you use the other party’s email, one of two scenarios will occur. If the email you entered is connected to a Hush account then that account will be designated as the other party. Alternatively, if that email is not connected to a Hush account then an email will be sent to the email address you provided containing a secure access token to view your offer. From that page, the recipient of the email has the option to receive or ignore your offer. If the recipient wishes to receive your offer they can either sign in or sign up to receive it on their account.
When you are selecting the other party, there are a few things to keep in mind. Hush does not restrict you from contracting with whomever you please. Thus it does not matter whether the other party is verified, or even registered at the time you create your agreement. However, these attributes do matter in regards to how secure your transaction will be.
