Cancellation & Refund Policy

Effective Date: September 1, 2026

At instantja, we strive to make home services fast, convenient, and reliable. We understand that plans can change, so we've designed this Cancellation and Refund Policy to provide a fair experience for both customers and service professionals.

1. Service Cancellation by Customers

Free Cancellation — Customers may cancel a booking up to 2 hours before the scheduled service time at no additional charge.

Late Cancellation — If a booking is cancelled less than 2 hours before the scheduled service time, a cancellation fee may apply to compensate the assigned service professional.

No-Show — If the customer is unavailable at the scheduled time and cannot be contacted, the booking may be considered a No-Show. In such cases, the service fee may not be refundable.

2. Cancellation by instantja

In rare situations, instantja may need to cancel or reschedule a booking due to:

  • Service professional unavailability
  • Safety concerns
  • Severe weather or emergencies
  • Technical or operational issues

If instantja cancels a confirmed booking, any eligible payment made by the customer may be refunded or applied as credit toward a future booking, depending on the circumstances and applicable policies.

3. Refund Policy

Customers may be eligible for a refund in situations such as:

  • A confirmed booking is cancelled by instantja.
  • Payment was made for a service that could not be delivered.
  • A duplicate or incorrect payment was processed.
  • The service could not be completed due to circumstances beyond the customer's reasonable control.

Refund requests may be reviewed individually to help ensure a fair resolution.
