    YouFIX Trust and Safety Policy

    Legal Information & Policies

    Our platform is committed to creating a safe and reliable space for both clients and professionals. This Trust and Safety Policy outlines the standards we enforce to promote trust, security, and a positive experience for everyone involved.

    All users, whether clients or professionals, must:

    • Communicate Clearly: Maintain respectful, transparent, and clear communication regarding project details, expectations, and any issues that arise.
    • Adhere to Agreed Terms: Fulfill the terms agreed upon at the start of the project to ensure satisfaction on both sides.
    • Respect Privacy: Safeguard personal information and communicate through the platform’s messaging system to ensure security.

    To maintain a trustworthy environment, we:

    • Verify Identities: Require identity verification for all professionals before they can offer services. This may include identification checks, background screenings, and/or credential verification.
    • Screen Projects: Review projects and user profiles to prevent any fraudulent or harmful behavior.

    To maintain safety and professionalism, the following actions are prohibited on our platform:

    • Harassment or Abuse: Harassment, intimidation, or discriminatory behavior will not be tolerated. All users are expected to treat one another with respect.
    • Misrepresentation: Misleading or falsely representing skills, qualifications, or project details.
    • Fraudulent Activity: Attempting to manipulate the platform’s processes, engage in unauthorized transactions, or circumvent the platform to avoid fees.

    Violations of these rules may result in account suspension, removal from the platform, or additional legal action if necessary.

    We implement the following to ensure a secure experience for users:

    • Secure Payment Processing: All payments are handled through encrypted, secure payment methods to protect user information.

  • Refund Policy

    YouFIX Refund Policy

    Legal Information & Policies

    Our platform is committed to providing a reliable and fair environment for clients and professionals. This Refund Policy outlines when and how refunds may be issued to clients, ensuring transparency and fairness in cases where projects cannot be completed as planned.

    Clients may be eligible for a refund if:

    • The professional fails to perform the agreed-upon services.
    • The work is incomplete or does not meet the agreed quality standards.
    • The project is canceled by the professional.
    • A dispute is resolved in favor of the client and includes a partial or full refund.

    Refund eligibility is contingent on the situation’s specifics and on adherence to our Cancellation Policy and Dispute Resolution Policy.

    Refunds may be issued under the following circumstances:

    • Full Refunds: For cases where services have not started, or if a professional cancels before starting the work.
    • Partial Refunds: If work is partially completed but the quality or extent of work does not meet the agreement, a partial refund may be granted based on work completed and associated costs.

    To request a refund, clients must:

    • Submit a refund request through their account or the Contact Support page.
    • Provide project details, a description of the issue, and any supporting documentation, such as photos or communication records.
    • Ensure the refund request is submitted within 30 days of project completion or cancellation.

    Refund requests are evaluated by our team, with additional documentation requested if needed. Refunds are typically processed within 5-10 business days of approval, returned to the client’s original payment method.

    Refunds may not be granted if:

    • The client fails to provide sufficient evidence for the refund request.
    • The professional has completed the project to the agreed specifications and terms.
    • The request is outside the eligibility period or violates any of our platform policies.
    • Refunds may also be limited based on circumstances, including service or platform fees.

    This Refund Policy may be modified as needed to align with evolving platform operations or regulations. Continued use of our platform after updates to this policy implies acceptance of the revised terms.

  • Cancellation Policy

    YouFIX Cancellation Policy

    Legal Information & Policies

    This Cancellation Policy applies to all projects initiated on our platform. We aim to provide a fair and transparent cancellation process for both clients and professionals, ensuring a balanced resolution when cancellations are necessary.

    Clients may cancel a project under the following terms:

    • Prior to Project Acceptance: If the professional has not yet accepted the project, clients can cancel without incurring any fees.
    • After Project Acceptance:
      • With Notice: If a client cancels at least 24 hours before the project start time, a partial refund (minus any platform processing fees) will be provided.
      • Last-Minute Cancellations: For cancellations within 24 hours of the project start time, a cancellation fee of up to 50% of the total project cost may apply to compensate the professional for preparation and potential lost work.
    • After Project Commencement: If the project has already started, the cancellation request will require a review. Refunds and fees will be determined based on the work completed and any expenses incurred by the professional.

    Professionals are encouraged to only accept projects they are able to complete to maintain client trust and platform reliability. In the event a professional must cancel:

    • Prior to Project Start: If a professional cancels with at least 24 hours’ notice, the client will receive a full refund, and the project will be reopened for bidding.
    • Last-Minute Cancellations: If the professional cancels within 24 hours of the project start time or during the project, they may incur penalties, and their reliability rating may be affected.

    If both client and professional agree to cancel:

    • A full or partial refund can be issued based on mutual agreement.
    • The project will be reopened on the platform if the client still requires assistance.

    We reserve the right to cancel projects under certain conditions, including but not limited to:

    • Violation of platform policies or terms by either party
    • Evidence of misconduct or fraudulent activity
    • A dispute where cancellation is deemed the best resolution

    Refunds will be processed back to the client’s original payment method within 5-10 business days after the cancellation is confirmed. Any cancellation fees or penalties will be deducted as applicable.

    This Cancellation Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on our website, and continued use of the platform after such updates signifies acceptance of the revised terms.

  • Dispute Policy

    YouFIX Dispute Resolution Policy

    Legal Information & Policies

    Our platform is dedicated to ensuring smooth transactions and clear communication between clients and professionals. However, we understand that issues may occasionally arise. This Dispute Resolution Policy outlines the process for addressing and resolving disputes fairly, impartially, and transparently.

    This policy applies to all clients and professionals using our platform to arrange and complete projects. Disputes typically involve, but are not limited to, the quality of service provided, missed deadlines, incomplete tasks, or payment disagreements.

    A dispute may be submitted by a client or a professional if:

    • Services provided do not meet the agreed standards.
    • Payment has not been issued or is disputed.
    • Work is incomplete, significantly delayed, or otherwise deviates from the terms outlined in the project agreement.

    Clients and professionals are encouraged to communicate and attempt to resolve any issues directly:

    • All parties should document their interactions, including photos, messages, and receipts, to support their case if needed.
    • If both parties cannot reach an agreement, either party may submit a dispute request through our Dispute Resolution Center.

    To initiate a dispute:

    • Submit a dispute form with all required information, including project details, description of the issue, relevant messages, and supporting documentation.
    • Disputes must be filed within 30 days of the project’s completion date.

    Our support team will review the dispute in the following steps:

    • Evidence Collection: Both the client and professional may be asked to provide additional documentation, such as photos, receipts, and communication logs.
    • Mediation: A service agent will attempt to mediate the dispute by reviewing the evidence and facilitating further discussion between the two parties.
    • Decision: If an agreement cannot be reached, the service agent will make a final decision based on the evidence, terms of service, and any guarantees provided. This may involve issuing partial refunds, project completion deadlines, or minor service adjustments.

    If the service agent finds in favor of the client:

    • A partial or full refund may be issued, subject to our Refund Policy.
    • The professional may be subject to platform penalties if found in breach of service agreements.


    If the service agent finds in favor of the professional:

    • The client will be informed of the final decision, and no refund or compensation will be issued.
    • Disputes closed in favor of the professional are final unless new evidence arises.

    Both parties may appeal a decision within seven days by providing additional, relevant evidence. Appeals will only be reviewed if new information is available and may incur a processing fee.

    Our platform reserves the right to amend this Dispute Resolution Policy at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting, and continued use of the platform after modifications implies acceptance of the new terms.
