Happiness Guarantee

If the job isn't right, we make it right

For bookings made and paid through Proffera. Tell us within 48 hours of the job being marked finished and we put it right with a refund, part of one, or your Pro coming back. It's not a blank-check warranty: the outcome depends on what happened.

Version 2026-10-03 · effective 3 October 2026

This is a draft and has not yet been signed off by an attorney. Resolution outcomes depend on booking facts and dispute review.

What's covered

  • Work not done as described in your booking
  • A Pro who doesn't show up (Pro no-show)
  • Serious quality problems you report within 48 hours of the job being marked finished

What isn't covered

  • Damage to property, and injury — report it right away; a person at Proffera helps you take it up with the Pro and their insurance
  • Anything that wasn't in your booking details, normal wear, and work changed by someone else after the Pro left
  • Jobs paid outside Proffera
  • Claims made more than 48 hours after the job (other problems can still be reported for 7 days)

How much

  • The most you can get back is what you paid for the booking.
  • Most refund claims of $50.00 or less are approved right away (once per customer every 90 days); some are checked by a person first, within one business day. Larger claims, re-service requests and second claims are reviewed by a person within one business day.
  • An automatic approval never reduces your Pro's pay.

How it's decided and paid

  • A person at Proffera replies within 1 business day and decides within 5 business days. If we say no, we tell you why, and you can reply to ask us to look again.
  • An approved refund goes back to the payment you used; it usually shows in 5–10 business days.
  • The outcome can be a refund, part of one, or your Pro coming back to put it right.

The fine print

  • This is not insurance. It is Proffera's own promise about bookings made and paid through Proffera.
  • Your booking follows the terms in effect when you booked.

How to make a claim

  1. Open the booking in your account.
  2. Choose “Get help” → “Happiness Guarantee claim”, say what went wrong (photos help), and pick a refund — with the amount — or your Pro coming back.
