Cancellation Policies (Full Reference)

Cancellation policies are chosen by hosts and freelancers when creating listings. Guests see these before booking, and they form the binding terms of cancellations and refunds.


Standard Policies

  • Flexible: Full refund within 24 hours of booking, partial refunds up to X days prior.
  • Moderate: Partial refund with more limited time windows.
  • Strict: Minimal refunds; no refunds after a certain deadline.
  • Custom: Requires Unaffiliate approval.

What Could Affect Cancellations

  • A provider who cancels on a guest triggers an automatic full refund.
  • If the provider cancels repeatedly, their listing status may be suspended.
  • Misrepresenting policies in your description may cause disputes.

Pro Tip

Always align your cancellation policy with your risk tolerance: stricter policies mean fewer cancellations, but they may also reduce bookings.


Troubleshooting Suggestions

  • If your policy doesn’t display, clear browser cache and refresh.
  • If a cancellation policy seems inaccurate, contact Support for correction.
