Laundra Refund Policy

Version v3.0 · Effective 14 June 2026

This Refund Policy explains how Laundra handles refunds, cancellation-related reimbursements, operational payment adjustments, Platform credits, no-show charges and booking-related financial outcomes through the Laundra Platform.

This Policy forms part of the Laundra Terms of Service, Damage and Dispute 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 refund requests, cancellation-related reimbursements, booking-related payment adjustments, no-show situations and dispute-related financial outcomes.

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

2. General Refund Principles

2.1 Refund eligibility depends on the operational stage of the booking, the timing of cancellation, the evidence available, the outcome of any dispute review, applicable Platform policies and applicable law.

2.2 Submission of a refund request does not automatically guarantee approval of a refund.

2.3 Laundra may approve full refunds, partial refunds, Platform credits, payout adjustments or other operational outcomes where reasonably appropriate.

2.4 Refund-related decisions may involve operational review, dispute investigation, fraud checks, verification procedures, payment-processor review or chargeback handling before completion.

2.5 Refund processing times may vary depending on payment processors, banks, operational review procedures or technical processing requirements.

3. Booking Completion and Refund Timing

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

3.2 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.

3.3 Customers may nevertheless submit disputes or refund-related complaints within fourteen days after delivery, collection or completion, in accordance with clauses 16.4, 18.2 and 19.2 of the Terms of Service and the Damage and Dispute Policy.

4. Customer Cancellations

4.1 Customers may cancel bookings through the Platform subject to the applicable cancellation framework.

4.2 Where cancellation occurs before a Provider has accepted the booking, the Customer will generally not be charged for the booking unless otherwise disclosed through the Platform.

4.3 Where a booking has been created and before the Provider has departed for pickup or operational travel, the following cancellation fee structure applies based on the time remaining before the scheduled pickup or drop-off window:

  • more than twelve hours before the scheduled pickup or drop-off window: full refund of amounts paid or authorised
  • between four and twelve hours before the scheduled pickup or drop-off window: a cancellation fee of €5 may apply, with the remaining amount refunded
  • less than four hours before the scheduled pickup or drop-off window: a cancellation fee of €10 may apply, with the remaining amount refunded; and
  • after the Provider has departed for pickup or has otherwise reasonably incurred travel-related operational costs: a cancellation fee of €15 plus the applicable pickup fee may apply.

4.4 The cancellation framework described in this section reflects clauses 13.2 to 13.5 of the Terms of Service and applies in addition to any statutory consumer rights, including the right of withdrawal where applicable under clause 27 of the Terms of Service.

4.5 Where cancellation occurs after operational travel, arrival at the pickup location or other incurred operational activity, Laundra may apply cancellation fees, pickup fees, Provider compensation adjustments, no-show charges, failed-attempt fees or other operational charges where lawful and proportionate.

4.6 Applicable cancellation-related charges are generally disclosed through the Platform before booking confirmation or cancellation confirmation.

5. Provider Cancellations

5.1 Where a Provider cancels a booking after acceptance, Laundra may determine an appropriate operational outcome depending on the circumstances.

5.2 This may include:

  • full refunds
  • partial refunds
  • Platform credits
  • reassignment to another Provider
  • trust-score adjustments
  • Provider payout adjustments; or
  • other operational resolutions.

5.3 Where a Provider cancels after operational travel has begun or after arriving at the Customer location, Laundra may provide compensation, Platform credit or another reasonable operational outcome where appropriate.

5.4 Repeated Provider cancellations may affect Provider visibility, booking eligibility, trust scores or continued access to the Platform.

6. Failed Pickups, Failed Deliveries and No-Show Situations

6.1 A failed pickup, failed delivery or no-show situation may arise where a Customer or Provider is unavailable, inaccessible, cannot be contacted, refuses handover or otherwise prevents completion of a booking.

6.2 Where lawful and proportionate, Laundra may apply no-show fees, failed-attempt fees, pickup fees, redelivery-related charges or other operational charges.

6.3 Operational charges relating to failed-attempt situations may include charges of up to €10 plus applicable pickup or redelivery costs where disclosed through the Platform.

6.4 Customers may become responsible for no-show charges where a Provider has already travelled to the location or reasonably incurred operational costs.

6.5 Providers must not falsely report no-show situations or failed attempts.

6.6 Laundra may review booking records, messages, timestamps, operational logs and available evidence when determining operational outcomes relating to failed-attempt disputes.

7. Refunds Relating to Damage, Missing Items or Service Quality

9. Refund Processing and Payment Methods

9.1 Approved refunds are generally processed back to the original payment method where reasonably possible.

9.2 Where a Customer cancels a booking before payment has been captured by Laundra, the payment authorisation is released by the payment processor and the amount becomes available in accordance with the processor's standard timing, which is typically immediate although the Customer's bank may take several business days to reflect the release.

9.3 Where a refund is approved after payment has been captured, Laundra will initiate the refund through the payment processor without undue delay and, in any event, within fourteen days after communicating the refund decision to the Customer, in accordance with applicable consumer protection law.

9.4 The Customer's bank or card issuer may require additional business days to reflect the refunded amount.
