A deal is your agreement with one brand inside one campaign: it defines what you deliver and what you're paid. Deals reach you three ways:
Invite: a brand invites you directly with set terms. Accept and you're partnered immediately.
Open to apply: you apply, the brand reviews your profile and accepts or declines.
Auto-accept: if you meet the campaign's criteria, you're in as soon as you accept the terms.
Tip: respond to invites promptly. An invite left sitting more than 72 hours costs 1 Artec Score point.
