Payments, Cancellation & Refunds

• Creating an account, joining as a creator, posting a campaign for review and applying to a campaign do not trigger an online payment on theyaar.com.
• The budget entered on a campaign form is the brand's intended campaign budget. It is not a payment, deposit, escrow balance, price guarantee or amount held by YaarLink.
• YaarLink does not ask for card details, bank-login details or a UPI PIN through website forms. Stop and contact support if anyone claiming to represent YaarLink asks for those secrets.

If YaarLink provides a paid managed service, the price, taxes, deliverables, dates, included creators and payment schedule must be confirmed in a written quote, invoice or agreement before payment. That written document controls the specific engagement if it differs from this general policy.

• If you cancel a paid YaarLink service before work begins, the unused amount paid to YaarLink is eligible for refund, less only non-recoverable third-party costs already incurred for your confirmed engagement.
• If work has started or deliverables were provided, any refund is assessed against completed work, committed creator/third-party costs and the written agreement.
• If YaarLink cannot start an agreed service, the unused amount paid for that service is eligible for refund.
• Verified duplicate or erroneous payments made to YaarLink are eligible for refund of the duplicate or excess amount.
• A refund is not guaranteed merely because campaign reach, engagement or sales differ from expectations, unless a specific result was expressly guaranteed in the written agreement.

• Unless a separate written agreement clearly says YaarLink is collecting the money, brand-to-creator payments are direct transactions between those parties.
• YaarLink cannot refund money it did not receive, reverse a bank/UPI transfer, or act as escrow for a direct deal.
• Before paying, confirm the legal/business name, deliverables, posting dates, content rights, amount, tax treatment and payment reference in writing. Keep invoices and transfer receipts.
• If you suspect fraud or impersonation, contact your bank/payment provider promptly and report the listing or user to YaarLink so we can review the account or listing.

• Email support from the account email address and include the campaign, payment date, amount, payment method and transaction reference. Do not send card numbers, bank passwords or UPI PINs.
• We may ask for information needed to verify the payer and the engagement. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method where possible.
• Bank and payment-provider processing times vary after a refund is approved and submitted.
• If a chargeback or payment dispute is raised, the outcome may also be governed by the bank or payment provider's process.

If YaarLink introduces website checkout or paid subscriptions later, the checkout terms and an updated version of this policy will explain the charges, cancellation window and refund process before payment is collected.
