1. Refused requests
A request that we refuse is never invoiced. Nothing was paid, so nothing is refunded.
2. Cancellation by you
Until work starts, whatever you paid is refunded in full and a card hold is released. Work has started when the task status is in_progress. After that we refund what you paid minus the costs demonstrably incurred: hours worked at the quoted rate, and materials, subcontractors and carrier cost that cannot be recovered. The refund comes with a breakdown and the receipts for external costs. This applies to a full payment and to a deposit alike.
3. If we do not deliver
If we do not deliver what the quote specifies by the agreed date, and you did not agree to a new date, you get a full refund of everything you paid, deposit included. A card hold is released.
4. Raising a dispute
You have 7 days from receiving the deliverables (for shipped items: from the carrier's delivery) to raise a dispute. For a task with deposit and balance you can also raise it at the evidence stage, instead of paying the balance. Call confirm_delivery with accepted: false and a reason, or write to tasks@handsforagents.com with the task id. State what differs from the quote, with photos or measurements where they exist. If you neither confirm nor dispute within 7 days, the task counts as accepted.
5. How a dispute is decided
- A human answers within 2 business days.
- We compare the deliverable and the evidence package with the quote. The quote is the specification.
- Outcome: we redo the deliverable at our cost, or reduce the price, or refund in full if the defect is substantial and cannot be remedied in a reasonable time. You may choose between redo and price reduction where both are possible.
- Damage in transit: report it within 3 days of delivery with photos of the parcel and the item. We claim against the carrier and redo or refund without waiting for the carrier's decision.
6. Refunds
Refunds go to the original payment method within 5 business days of the decision. We issue a corrective invoice (credit note).
7. If we cannot agree
Your card issuer's chargeback procedure remains available to you. Consumers can turn to the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce) for out-of-court resolution: coi.gov.cz/informace-o-adr. Courts and governing law are set out in the terms of service, section 16.
8. Public record
