Refunds & Cancellation

Clear, fair rules for cancelling bookings and getting your money back.

Last updated: 15 September 2026

1. Cancelling a booking

You can cancel a booking at any time from your dashboard or Orders page. When you cancel before a provider is assigned, the cancellation is free and any payment is refunded in full.

2. Cancellation after assignment

Once a provider has been assigned, cancelling may incur a fee to compensate the provider for time already committed. The fee is shown before you confirm the cancellation.

3. Refund turnaround

  • Online payments are refunded to the original payment method.
  • Refunds typically land within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.
  • Cash bookings cancelled before assignment need no refund action.

4. Partial refunds & re-rating

If a job is completed but with an issue we cannot resolve, you may be offered a partial refund. Where a service is re-measured or adjusted with your agreement, you only pay the agreed amount for what was actually done.

5. Provider cancellations

If a provider cancels after assignment, Etsa will re-book you with another provider at no extra cost where possible, or refund you in full if the service cannot be delivered.

6. How to request a refund

  1. Open the order in your Orders page and tap "Request refund".
  2. Or message us on WhatsApp — our team answers within minutes.
  3. Or email hello@livelonke.co.za.

Include your order number so we can resolve it fast.

7. Non-refundable cases

Completed services that were delivered as agreed are not refundable. We review each request fairly and transparently — if something is wrong, our priority is making it right.

Something unclear? Our WhatsApp concierge answers in minutes.
