Refunds and Cancellations - #club

What you pay, and what comes back

On a barter deal you pay a Rs99 reservation fee to hold your slot, and then a refundable hold at the outlet equal to the deal's stated value. The hold is returned in full once your post is verified and your plan's payout window has passed (T+1 day on Creator yearly, T+7 days on Creator monthly). The Rs99 is not returned, except in the two cases below.

On a collab deal you pay nothing at any point. The brand funds the reward before the deal is visible, and it is released to your wallet once your post is verified and your plan's payout window has passed (T+1 day on Creator yearly, T+7 days on Creator monthly).

If your window closes without a verified post

You have 14 days from the moment a brand accepts you to post and get verified. If that window closes first, your slot reopens for someone else. On a barter deal where you already redeemed at the outlet, the hold is forfeited. A verification that is still running when the window closes does not count against you - that wait is ours, not yours.

Cancelling before redemption

Either a brand or a creator can cancel a deal up to 24 hours before the scheduled redemption with no penalty. Cancelling inside that 24-hour window carries a reputation-score consequence for whichever side cancels. Cancelling outside that window returns the Rs99, and so does a brand turning down your application.

If a post is deleted after payout

If a creator deletes a verified post within 30 days of the reward being released, the release reverses and the reward is pulled back from the creator's wallet.

Two rules above are not yet final. Whether a partial refund applies when a verification fails after real effort, rather than because nothing was posted, is still being decided; and whether the 30-day reversal applies to a barter deal, where no cash was ever released, is open. This page will state both exactly before that payment flow goes live. See ADR-0009: Deal modes - barter and collab.
