Refund Policy
Refunds and Credits
Last updated: 2025-12-13
This policy supplements the Terms and explains how cancellations, reassignments, refunds and Credits are handled.
1. Principles
- Primary goal: complete the Order via reassignment to another eligible Booster when possible.
- Standard remedy: Credits (store credit) rather than a refund, except when a refund is required by law.
- Payment processing: payments are handled via Stripe Checkout.
2. Definitions
- Refund: returning the paid amount to the original payment method (when applicable).
- Credits: non-cash store credit usable on future Climbrift Orders, non-transferable and not redeemable for cash.
- Start: the moment a Booster effectively begins performing the Service.
3. Cancellations before payment
3.1 Direct request pending (before payment)
While the Order is awaiting acceptance and no payment has been completed:
- you may cancel at no charge;
- you may convert to auto-assign if available.
3.2 Pending payment (before payment)
If the Order is pending payment and payment has not been confirmed:
- you may cancel at no charge.
4. After payment is confirmed
After payment confirmation, the Order is intended to be performed. Unilateral cancellation is not the standard flow; if an issue occurs, contact support.
If an incident affects delivery:
- 1) Automatic reassignment to another eligible Booster
- 2) If not possible, issuance of Credits
- 3) Refund only when required by law or decided case-by-case
How refunds affect payouts and fees
- If an Order is refunded or canceled, payouts may be adjusted or reversed depending on the Order status and whether a payout was already paid.
- Displayed payout breakdowns are provided for transparency; in case of dispute/refund, the final settlement may differ.
5. Reassignment
We may reassign an Order, including when:
- a Booster declines a direct request;
- a Booster cancels an Order;
- a Booster becomes unavailable.
Reassignment may change the assigned Booster and affect timelines.
6. Credits
6.1 Rules
- Credits are applied to future Orders through your account.
- Credits are non-transferable and cannot be withdrawn as cash.
- Credits do not expire.
6.2 Typical cases
Unless a refund is legally required, we may offer Credits, including when:
- reassignment is not possible within a reasonable timeframe;
- the Service is interrupted due to external reasons;
- goodwill gestures.
7. Right of withdrawal (EU/France consumers)
If you are a consumer, you may have a 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts, subject to legal exceptions.
For Services that may start quickly, we may begin performance before the withdrawal period ends only if:
- you expressly request immediate performance; and
- you acknowledge that if the Service is fully performed before the end of the period, you lose your right of withdrawal.
When the law requires a refund, we will refund to the original payment method, unless another lawful method is agreed.
8. Disputes and chargebacks
8.1 Internal dispute
If you disagree with delivery, you may open a dispute. We may:
- request supporting information;
- offer reassignment;
- offer Credits;
- offer a refund if required.
8.2 Bank chargebacks
A chargeback may trigger additional checks and temporary restrictions to reduce fraud risk.
