| One of the suppliers, Haylin, exclusively accepts online orders that must be paid using blockchain technology. Upon successful payment, Haylin will proceed with the delivery of the goods. To ensure timely deliveries, a smart contract is employed. If Haylin fails to deliver within the specified timeframe, no delivery costs will be charged. This arrangement allows for efficient and secure transactions with Haylin while providing assurance of on-time delivery. |
