General Information

Provider Cancellations

If a provider cancels a booking, the booker always receives a 100% refund regardless of timing. Provider cancellations are tracked on the provider's profile.

Grace Period

Equipment and location bookings include a 24-hour grace period from the moment the provider accepts the booking. During this window, bookers can cancel for a full refund. The grace period does not apply if the provider accepted the booking less than 48 hours before the start time.

Start Time Reference

Crew cancellation windows are calculated from the booked call time on the start date. Equipment and location cancellation windows are calculated from 8:00 AM on the start date.

Refunds

Refunds are processed back to the original payment method. Processing times depend on your payment provider and may take 5-10 business days to appear on your statement.
