Refund Policy

Every Frevn order is protected by escrow. This page explains when refunds are issued, how the money is returned, and the situations in which a refund cannot be granted.

Last updated: July 1, 2026

1. Refund eligibility

You may be eligible for a refund when:

  • The freelancer does not deliver by the agreed due date and has stopped communicating.
  • The delivery is materially different from the service or custom offer you accepted.
  • Both parties mutually cancel the order.
  • A Frevn moderator resolves a dispute in your favor.

2. When to request a refund

Request a refund from the order page within 14 days of delivery. Auto-completed orders past the 3-day review window can still be reviewed if you can show fraud or non-delivery.

3. How refunds are returned

Refunds go to your Frevn wallet in USD by default. From your wallet you can:

  • Instantly reuse the balance to fund another order.
  • Withdraw back to your original payment method (typically 3–10 business days for card refunds via Stripe, Paystack, or Flutterwave).

Frevn service fees are refunded with the order amount when a full refund is granted. Partial refunds are prorated.

4. Partial refunds

When part of the work is usable, moderators may issue a partial refund. The remaining balance is released to the freelancer, and the refunded portion is returned to your wallet.

5. Non-refundable situations

  • Work already accepted or auto-completed beyond the review window without evidence of fraud.
  • Change of mind after the freelancer has begun work in good faith.
  • Requests that fall outside the scope defined in the service or custom offer.
  • Orders where you paid the freelancer off-platform in violation of the Terms of Use.

6. Chargebacks

Please open a Frevn dispute before filing a chargeback with your bank. Chargebacks can freeze your account pending investigation and are almost always slower than our in-app resolution.
