Order Cancellations

See below for Order specific eligibility.
• Completed orders (or, where applicable, completed milestones) may be cancelled, upon review of our Customer Support team, up to 14 days after the order (or Milestone) is marked as complete. Please be advised that orders cannot be partially cancelled (i.e. we can only cancel the entire order when it is justified).
• In rare circumstances where we find it appropriate, our Customer Support team may cancel a completed order even after 14 days have passed from its completion. In such cases, the amounts paid for the cancelled order will be returned to the Buyer’s Piziste Cash and will be deducted from the Seller’s Piziste Cash or, if there are no sufficient amounts in the Seller’s Piziste Cash, from future revenues of such Seller.

Delivered Orders (after the Seller clicks Deliver Now and before the order is marked as complete)

1. The Seller uses the Delivery system to extend the delivery due date to complete the requested service without providing the final delivered service. Note: Multiple reported offenses will result in permanent suspension of your account.
2. The Seller delivers no files and/or proof of work related to the agreed upon order requirements. Note: Subjectivity of the materials in question will be reviewed by our Customer Support team.
3. The Seller requests additional payments, on or off the Piziste platform, by withholding the final delivery of services directly related to the agreed requirements.
4. The Seller is withholding the final delivery of services for improved ratings.
5. Users who abuse the Reorder feature to gain more services from Sellers beyond the agreed requirements.

1. Users who have been reported to use copyright/trademark infringing materials after verification and with proof.
2. Piziste Customer Support will review cases of Order delivery manipulation that prevents users from fully utilizing our Resolution Centre that enabled the order to be marked as complete.

Chargebacks

Piziste reviews cases of payment provider chargebacks and disputes on behalf of Sellers. Although results vary per case due to each chargeback reason, we work hard on resolving disputes in the Seller’s favor. If the chargeback case allows, Piziste (or one of Piziste’s Payment Services Providers) will return parts or full revenue back to Sellers, otherwise the chargeback amount will be borne by the Seller.

Refunds

• Piziste does not automatically refund payments made for cancelled orders back to your payment provider. Funds from order cancellations are returned to the Buyer’s Piziste Cash and are available for future purchases on Piziste. Until, funds returned to your Piziste Cash from cancelled orders will not include service fees paid. As of Now, Piziste returns service fees to your Piziste Cash once an order is cancelled. In any event, if the service fees were not returned to your Piziste Cash following an order cancelation, such service fees’ amount will be exempted from your next purchase on Piziste.
• Deposit refunds (i.e. refunds directly to your payment provider) can be performed by our Customer Support team, based on the Order’s original payment amount and currency. To prevent fraud and abuse, we limit the total amount of times users can request a payment provider refund, which is subject to review by our Customer Support team. Such refunds may be subject to an additional fee.
