REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY

Effective Date: February 13, 2026
Last Updated: February 13, 2026

This Refund & Cancellation Policy governs payments, refunds, cancellations, and dispute handling on the Freelyns platform (“Platform”).

By using Freelyns, you agree to this policy.


1. PLATFORM ROLE

Freelyns operates as a technology marketplace connecting Freelancers and Clients.

Freelyns:

  • Is not the direct provider of freelance services.

  • Is not responsible for project outcomes.

  • Processes payments as a facilitator (directly or through third-party gateways).

Refund eligibility depends on the specific circumstances described below.


2. PROJECT PAYMENTS

Payments made by Clients may fall into one of the following categories:

  • Milestone-based payments

  • Fixed-price projects

  • Hourly contracts

  • Subscription services

  • Platform service fees

Refund rules differ based on payment type.


3. REFUND ELIGIBILITY

3.1 Before Work Has Started

A Client may request a refund if:

  • Payment was made but the Freelancer has not started work.

  • No deliverables have been submitted.

  • The Freelancer agrees to cancellation.

If escrow is enabled and funds have not been released, eligible funds may be refunded after review.


3.2 Milestone-Based Projects

  • If a milestone is not approved by the Client and a dispute is raised within the platform-defined review period, funds may be held pending investigation.

  • If the milestone has already been approved and funds released, refunds are generally not possible unless both parties agree.


3.3 Completed & Delivered Work

Once:

  • Work is delivered, and

  • Client approves the deliverables

Payments are considered final and non-refundable.


3.4 Hourly Contracts

For hourly projects:

  • Payments for logged and approved hours are non-refundable.

  • Disputes must be raised within the review period defined by the platform.


3.5 Subscription Fees

If Freelyns offers premium subscriptions:

  • Subscription fees are non-refundable unless required by law.

  • Cancellation will stop future billing but does not refund past payments.


3.6 Platform Service Fees

Platform commissions, transaction fees, and processing fees are generally non-refundable.


4. DISPUTE PROCESS

If a Client believes:

  • Work was not delivered as agreed

  • Deliverables are significantly different from the project description

The Client must:

  1. Raise a dispute within the platform’s defined dispute window.

  2. Provide evidence supporting the claim.

  3. Attempt resolution directly with the Freelancer.

Freelyns may:

  • Review submitted materials.

  • Temporarily hold funds (if not yet released).

  • Make a discretionary decision.

Freelyns’ decision regarding platform-level disputes may be final.


5. NON-REFUNDABLE SITUATIONS

Refunds will NOT be issued for:

  • Change of mind after work begins.

  • Failure to clearly define project requirements.

  • Delays caused by Client.
