Refunds go back to your marketplace balance straight away, to the same kind of balance that paid (card, crypto or bank). Here is when they apply.
| When | What happens | Top-up fee on that amount |
|---|---|---|
| You cancel before writing starts | Full order price back to your balance | Kept |
| We decline the order or can't deliver | Full order price back to your balance | Refunded |
| The publisher can't or won't publish | Full order price back to your balance | Refunded |
| We publish something materially different from what you approved | We correct it at no cost, or refund in full | Refunded if refunded |
| A guarantee fails (removed within the guarantee period, or not indexed in time) | We restore it, replace it on a comparable title, or refund in full | Refunded if refunded |
| A dispute is decided in your favour | A free rewrite, or a refund, as the written decision states | Refunded if refunded |
| The placement is live and meets its terms | Not refundable: the placement has been delivered | Kept |
The guarantee in detail
- Network titles: live for 12 months from publication, and indexed within 14 days. Managed sites show their own terms on each listing; the terms on your order are the ones that apply.
- If you notice a problem, report it from the order page. We have 7 days to restore the placement before we replace or refund it.
- A replacement runs on a comparable title, at no charge, with a fresh guarantee.
- The guarantee doesn't cover rankings, traffic or authority scores.
Unused balance
Your balance doesn't expire. If you close your account, we return unused balance to the method you paid with, less the top-up fee already charged on it.
How long refunds take
Refunds to your balance are immediate. Returns of unused balance to a card, wallet or bank account are usually processed within 5 business days; your bank or network may take longer to show them.
