<h1>Refunds and Disputes</h1><p>Disputes are rare, but it's important to know how they are handled.</p><h2>Client Refunds</h2><p>If a client cancels an event, they are refunded according to the cancellation policy you set on your profile (e.g., Strict, Moderate, Flexible). If they cancel within a penalty window, you will still receive your designated payout.</p><h2>Disputes (Chargebacks)</h2><p>If a client claims you did not show up or failed to provide the agreed-upon services, DJfindr will place a temporary hold on the payout. Our support team will review evidence from both parties (messages, contracts, photos). If the dispute is ruled in your favor, the funds are released. <strong>Platinum DJs</strong> receive extra protection against fraudulent chargebacks via the GigGuard program.</p>
