Laundra Damage and Dispute Policy

Version v4.0 · Effective 14 June 2026

This Damage and Dispute Policy explains how Laundra handles booking-related disputes, damaged-item claims, missing-item claims, service complaints, no-show situations, refund-related disputes and operational investigations through the Laundra Platform.

This Policy forms part of the Laundra Terms of Service, Refund Policy, Provider Agreement and related Platform policies.

In this Policy, "Laundra", "we", "us" and "our" refer to A.M.K. Ecoleaf Ltd trading as Laundra. "Customer" refers to a User requesting services through the Platform. "Provider" refers to an independent service provider offering services through the Platform.

1. Purpose of this Policy

1.1 Laundra operates a technology marketplace connecting Customers and independent Providers for everyday laundry, ironing, pickup and delivery services.

1.2 This Policy establishes the operational framework used by Laundra to review disputes, investigate complaints, assess evidence, manage booking-related issues and determine Platform-level outcomes.

1.3 Nothing in this Policy removes statutory consumer rights or legal rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

2. Everyday Laundry Positioning

2.1 Laundra is designed primarily for everyday household laundry and ironing services.

2.2 The Platform is not intended for specialist luxury garment preservation, museum-grade textile restoration, specialist dry-cleaning guarantees or highly specialised fabric treatment unless expressly stated otherwise by a Provider.

2.3 Customers submitting luxury, delicate, specialist-care or unusually high-value items acknowledge that such items may involve increased operational risk when compared to ordinary household laundry.

2.4 Customers are encouraged to disclose special handling requirements before handover.

3. Customer Responsibilities Before Handover

3.1 Before handing items to a Provider, Customers should:

  • inspect their items
  • remove valuables and prohibited objects
  • check pockets
  • disclose delicate fabrics
  • disclose specialist-care requirements; and
  • disclose known stains, pre-existing damage or other relevant item conditions.

3.2 Customers should avoid submitting hazardous, unsafe, contaminated or prohibited items through the Platform.

3.3 Customers are encouraged to photograph valuable, delicate or disputed-condition items before handover.

3.4 Failure to disclose material information relating to the condition or care requirements of an item may affect eligibility for compensation where permitted by law.

4. Provider Responsibilities

4.1 Providers are expected to handle Customer items with reasonable care, skill, hygiene and professionalism.

4.2 Providers must comply with Platform rules, avoid avoidable damage, upload operational evidence where applicable and communicate promptly regarding issues affecting bookings.

4.3 Providers must not:

  • falsify evidence
  • manipulate scale readings
  • intentionally damage items
  • misuse Customer property
  • misuse Customer data; or
  • submit misleading operational information.

4.4 Providers must respond to dispute-related communications within forty-eight hours after being notified through the Platform unless Laundra expressly grants additional time.

4.5 Where a Provider does not respond within the applicable forty-eight-hour period, Laundra may escalate the dispute for review based on the available evidence without further notice to the Provider.

5. Types of Disputes Covered

5.1 Disputes submitted through the Platform may include complaints relating to:

  • damaged items
  • missing items
  • shrinkage
  • colour bleeding
  • incorrect service
  • poor ironing quality
  • incorrect weight calculations
  • unauthorised charges
  • failed pickups
  • failed deliveries
  • cancellation disputes
  • no-show disputes
  • delayed completion
  • refund requests; or
  • other booking-related issues.

5.2 Submission of a dispute does not automatically guarantee compensation, refund approval or Provider liability.

6. Booking Completion and Complaint Window

6.1 A booking may be completed automatically or manually depending on the operational flow of the Platform.

6.2 If a Customer receives returned items and does not raise an issue within twenty-four hours after delivery, collection or completion, the Platform may operationally treat the booking as completed, without prejudice to any statutory legal rights.

6.3 Customers should inspect returned items promptly after receipt.

6.4 Customers may nevertheless submit disputes or claims within fourteen days after delivery, collection or completion in accordance with the Terms of Service and related Platform policies.

7. Timeframe for Reporting Issues

7.1 Unless applicable law requires otherwise, Customers should generally submit disputes, damage claims, missing-item claims or booking-related complaints within fourteen days after delivery, collection or completion.

7.2 Laundra may reject claims submitted outside the applicable reporting window where the delay materially affects the investigation, evidence review or handling of the matter.

7.3 Laundra may nevertheless review late claims where exceptional circumstances apply or where required by law.

11.2 The Platform applies a fifteen percent tolerance to the difference between the estimated weight selected by the Customer at booking and the actual weight measured by the Provider.

11.4 Where the actual weight exceeds the applicable fifteen percent tolerance, the Customer must approve the revised price through the Platform within four hours after notification.

11.5 If the Customer does not approve the revised price within the applicable four-hour period, the booking may be cancelled, the items may be returned and applicable pickup, return or cancellation charges may apply in accordance with the Terms of Service and Refund Policy.

11.6 Providers must upload a clear photograph of the scale reading for every weighing in accordance with clause 6.4 of the Terms of Service.
