After Helper Accepts (Before Work Begins)

If a Helper has accepted your task but has not yet started work, you may still cancel and receive a full 100% refund. Please cancel as early as possible to avoid inconvenience to the Helper.

After Work Has Commenced

⚠️ Important: Once a Helper has started working on your task, cancellation charges apply. Please communicate with your Helper before cancelling to reach a mutual agreement.
