Cancellations & Refunds :

1. Cancellation of a Service/Project:

• Communication: Prior to cancellation, communication between Buyer and Seller is recommended to address concerns.
• Notification: Requestor must notify the other party through WorkStream or request a refund using the "Request Refund" action.
• Completed Project: If the Buyer fails to notify the Seller and the project is completed, payment is required for the service delivered.
• After Notification: Freelancer stops working, and parties agree on payment for completed work.

1.2 Refund Policy:

• Refund Eligibility: Buyers are entitled to a refund under conditions like no response, non-delivery, poor quality, or if the Seller lost a dispute.
• Mutual Agreement: Refunds may also be mutually agreed upon, subject to review by the Mintodesk team.
• Refund Request: Buyers can request a refund through the "Request Refund" action, and Sellers approve or reject. Non-actioned requests may lead to automatic release by Mintodesk.
• Dispute & Review: Truelancer.com (now Mintodesk) reviews refund requests to ensure compliance with terms and conditions.
