1. Marketplace payments
For LanceTime marketplace work, client payments may be held until
the agreed milestone or service is completed and approved. Refunds
depend on project status, freelancer work completed, and dispute
review. LanceTime service charges are limited to subscriptions and
virtual machine or secure workspace charges.
2. Before work starts
If a client cancels before work starts and no platform cost has been
incurred, the eligible funded amount may be refunded after review,
subject to payment gateway charges and applicable taxes.
3. After work starts
If work has started, refunds are reviewed based on the contract,
milestone status, delivered work, communication history, and any
applicable dispute decision.
4. Partial payment and partial refund
If a client requests partial payment, the freelancer may accept or
reject the request. If accepted, the approved portion may be
released to the freelancer and the remaining eligible amount may
remain in escrow, return to the client, or follow the agreed project
outcome.
5. Subscription charges
Subscription charges may be non-refundable after the subscription is
activated or platform services have been used, unless required by
law or approved after support review.
6. Virtual workspace charges
Charges for virtual machines or secure workspaces may be
non-refundable once resources are provisioned or used, unless there
is a verified service failure from our side.
7. Payment gateway charges
Payment gateway charges, bank charges, taxes, and currency
conversion charges may be deducted or handled according to payment
partner rules.
8. Disputes, inactivity, and chargebacks
If a client or freelancer is inactive, or if a chargeback or dispute
is raised, LanceTime may hold the milestone status until review is
complete. Chargebacks are handled according to bank and payment
gateway rules.
9. Refund timeline
Approved refunds will be initiated to the original payment method.
Bank and payment gateway timelines may vary depending on the payment
partner and user bank.
10. Contact for refunds
