HausBuddy is committed to connecting businesses and individuals who are looking to outsource various jobs to service professionals (ServicePro). The processing in matching the right people is a bit complicated; cancelling a job that has been assigned to a service professional doesn’t promote the best environment for other people in the Hausbuddy Community.
We understand that circumstances can change and sometimes the job can’t go ahead and you may need to cancel.
Before you decide to cancel a job, we strongly recommend that you verify if there are alternative ways to get the job done. For example, did you know you can change the time and date of the task by rescheduling it or even re-assign the same job to another service pro? These might help avoid the cancellation.
This fee will need to be paid by the HausBuddy member or Service Provider responsible for the cancellation depending on the circumstance. For example, if the Job Poster no longer wishes to proceed with the task, they will need to cover the fee. If a HausBuddy Service Pro stops responding to messages and they haven’t started the task, they will be responsible for the cancellation fee.
| Cancellation scenario | Member to pay fee |
|---|---|
| HausBuddy Service Pro stops responding to private messages after being assigned to a task | HausBuddy Service Pro |
| Job Poster no longer needs the task to be completed | Job Poster |
| HausBuddy Service Pro didn’t show up to complete the job | HausBuddy Service Pro |
| Job Poster stopped responding to messages after the job has been assigned | Job Poster |
** Any other cancellation scenario apart from the once listed above will be examined by the HausBuddy Support team and a fair judgment given.

If you haven’t already done so, we recommend that you contact the Job Poster via private message for an update and allow them at least 48 hours to respond.
When you hear from them, you should try your best to complete the task on the due date or find an alternative solution. For example you can re-assign the job to another service pro or repost it as an open job. If there’s no response or it’s impossible to complete the task, you can go ahead with the task cancellation.
If your ServicePro cancels the job due to reasons, you will be notified with reasons why he has cancelled the job. Once the cancellation is successful, your refund will be processed.
In the meantime, if you still need your task completed you can repost the task and accept an offer from another Service Pro. Go to the jobs page and select 'More Options' > 'Post a similar job'. Remember to change any details that may have changed such as the due date, location, etc.
When another member cancels your task, you will be notified of the cancellation request. You will have the option to accept or decline the cancellation within 24 hours. If you do not take action within 48 hours the task will be cancelled and refunded automatically.
If you’re happy to accept the task cancellation you can select ‘accept’. If you have completed the task and do not wish to cancel the task, select ‘decline’. Should you choose to decline, HausBuddy will advise you on the next step.
The member cancelling the task is also asked to submit the reason for cancelling. You will be notified of this reason before you accepted or declined the cancellation request, and will be asked whether you agree or disagree with the reason provided. If you disagree with the reason, you will be given the opportunity to provide feedback to HausBuddy as to what you believe the reason to be.
At this stage the task has already been cancelled and no further action is required on either end. The HausBuddy team will investigate the dispute in order to correctly attribute the cause of the cancellation either to you or the other member, as these affect your Completion Rate.
Please note that responding to cancellation requests promptly is a matter of courtesy and important in refunding the Job Poster as quickly as possible.
