Refund policy at Workanzer

updated : june 10,2022

How does Workanzer work?

Workanzer is a platform that connects clients and professionals for work that can be done remotely. These jobs can be paid hourly or by a fixed amount. 💰 When a client accepts a proposal for a project at a fixed amount, the client makes a guarantee payment. This payment remains with Workanzer until the project is completed and the client releases the payment to the professional.

If there’s any problem with the project, it may be cancelled. In this case, the amount still under guarantee on the platform may be reimbursed to the client, i.e. the value that has not been released to the professional by the client (check our project cancellation policy). In the event of a cancellation with a refund to the client, this amount will be credited to the client's Workanzer account. At this time the customer may choose to use the amount as a credit in future contracts or request a refund.

The information below also applies for cases where clients add credit to their account.

Option 1: Credit

To view this credit, simply log in to My Finances > My Account Movements, clicking on your photo, at the top right of your profile. To use this amount in future contracts, when you are directed to the payment page, simply select the "use Credit" option. In the event that the amount to be paid is greater than the balance in the account, the client must pay the difference to start the new project. If the amount to be paid is less than the balance in the account, the difference will remain as credit and the client can use it again in another contract or request a refund for the difference remaining in the account. 😉

Cancellation Policy for hourly projects

updated : July 02,2022

How does Workanzer work?

Workanzer is a platform that connects customers and professionals to work remotely. Workanzer projects can be paid for a fixed value or per hour worked.

In projects per hour, both the employer and the professional have access to a Work Journal. There professionals record the hours worked. After this registration, the employer must approve or reject those hours. If they would be approved, the payment thereof is automatically released to the professional. If instead the hours are rejected, they are not paid.

If the hours are approved, the professional gets paid automatically, so a refund is no longer possible, even if the project between closed.

If instead the hours were rejected, and both sides could not reach an agreement, Workanzer may intervene performing an arbitration. In this case, the cancellation policies are the same as for fixed value projects (see cancellation policies for fixed value projects)

If Workanzer conclude that the employer is right, the rejected hours will not be paid. In case of conclusion that the professional is successful, the payment solventing the hours worked will be debited. Workanzer works to make fair decisions and taking care that the agreements between professionals and clients are respected. Therefore it is important to always make clear everything agreed between the parties within each project.
