Plans can change, and that’s okay. Takers gives you flexible options to cancel or update a Take depending on its stage.
Cancelling before work starts
-
Within 1 hour of assigning
You can cancel for free. No fee applies, and the Taker isn’t paid. -
After 1 hour (before work starts)
You can still cancel, but a small flat fee applies.
The Taker isn’t compensated.
Refunds are processed automatically to your Takers wallet.
Cancelling after work has started
If the Taker has already marked the Take as Started, cancelling will include a percentage-based fee.
This helps compensate the Taker for time or effort already spent.
Refunds are processed after a short review window to allow for any disputes.
If the Taker hasn’t started on time
If the Taker doesn’t start before the deadline:
-
They receive a reminder
-
A 6-hour grace period begins
After that, you can:
-
Cancel the Take
-
Or extend the deadline
If you cancel, your refund is processed after a short review period.
Changing details instead of cancelling
Sometimes it’s better to adjust the Take instead of cancelling.
You can:
-
Update the task details, budget, or deadline
-
Message the Taker to keep everything clear
Tip
Only cancel when necessary. Clear communication and small adjustments can often keep things on track without starting over.
