Cancellation & Refunds

Cancellation & Refund Policy

Everything you need to know about cancellations and refunds on Askobo.

Last updated: 26 December 2025

Quick Overview

We understand that plans can change! Here's a quick summary of how cancellations and refunds work on Askobo:

  • Expert-defined policies: Each Expert sets their own cancellation and refund rules, which you can review before booking or purchasing.
  • We're here to help: While Askobo facilitates transactions, refund decisions are based on the Expert's stated policy. We're happy to help facilitate communication.
  • Platform fee: A small 2.5% platform fee helps cover payment processing costs and keeps our services running. This portion isn't refundable.
  • Tax considerations: GST refunds are subject to government regulations—we'll do our best to accommodate where possible.
  • Quick processing: Once approved, refunds are typically initiated within 1–2 business days. Your bank may take additional time to process.

What's Covered

1. Our Role as a Platform

Think of Askobo as the bridge that connects you with talented Experts. We provide the technology, tools, and support that make learning and sharing knowledge possible.

When you book a session or purchase a product, your agreement is directly with the Expert. We're here to facilitate that connection and help if any questions arise along the way.

This policy applies to all bookings and purchases made through Askobo and works alongside our Terms & Conditions.

2. Understanding the Terms

  • Expert: A professional who offers their knowledge and services on Askobo.
  • Seeker: That's you! Someone who books sessions or purchases products to learn and grow.
  • Booking: Any confirmed session, purchase, or enrollment you make.
  • Platform Fee: A small 2.5% fee that helps us maintain our services and cover payment processing.
  • Cancellation Window: The timeframe during which cancellations may be eligible for refunds, as defined by each Expert.

3. General Refund Guidelines

Each Expert sets their own policy: Before you make a purchase, you'll see the Expert's cancellation and refund terms on their page. We encourage you to review these so you know exactly what to expect.

About fees and taxes:

  • The 2.5% platform fee covers payment processing costs that we incur immediately, so this portion isn't refundable.
  • GST refunds depend on government regulations. We'll work with you to accommodate where legally possible.

Need help? If you can't find the Expert's policy or have questions, reach out to us at hi@askobo.com with your Booking ID. We'll help coordinate with the Expert.

4. Sessions & Consultations

For one-on-one and group sessions:

  • Check the cancellation window: Each Expert specifies how far in advance you need to cancel to be eligible for a refund.
  • If something goes wrong on our end: If a session doesn't happen because of Expert unavailability or a technical issue with our platform, we'll work with you to arrange a reschedule or refund.
  • Good to know: Refunds are processed based on the Expert's policy, so we always recommend reviewing it before booking.

5. Courses & Digital Products

About Courses:

  • Each Expert decides their refund policy, which you can find on the course page.
  • Some Experts may consider how much content you've accessed when processing refunds.
  • Because courses involve immediate access to content, some may have limited refund options once you've started learning.

About Digital Products:

  • Downloads, templates, and resources are typically non-refundable once you've accessed them, since digital content can't be "returned."
  • Always check the Expert's specific policy before purchasing—some may offer more flexible terms.

A note on licensing:

Digital products are usually licensed for personal use. The Expert will specify if commercial use or sharing is allowed.

6. Webinars

Live Webinars:

  • If the Expert cancels the webinar, you'll typically be eligible for a full refund.
  • If you can't attend a scheduled webinar, check whether the Expert offers replays or has a refund policy for no-shows.

Recorded Webinars:

  • Once you have access to a recording, refunds usually aren't available since you can watch it at any time.
  • Check the Expert's policy for any exceptions.

7. Subscriptions & Communities

Managing Your Subscription:

  • You can cancel future renewals anytime from your dashboard—you'll still have access until the end of your current billing period.
  • Refunds for partial periods depend on the Expert's policy, so it's good to check before subscribing.

Community Access:

  • Community refunds follow the same guidelines as subscriptions—each Expert sets their own terms.

8. How to Request a Cancellation or Refund

We've made the process as simple as possible:

  1. Check your dashboard: For most bookings, you can cancel directly from your Askobo dashboard if you're within the cancellation window.
  2. Reach out to us: If you can't find the option or need help, email us at hi@askobo.com with your Booking ID and the reason for your request.
  3. We'll take it from there: We may ask for some verification to protect your account, and then we'll help coordinate with the Expert.

9. What Affects Your Refund Amount

Here's what to expect when a refund is processed:

  • Processing time: Once approved, we initiate refunds within 1–2 business days. Your bank or card provider may take additional time to credit your account.
  • Platform fee: The 2.5% platform fee covers payment processing costs and isn't included in refunds.
  • Taxes: GST refunds depend on government regulations. We'll do what we can to help.
  • Payment gateway fees: Any non-recoverable fees from payment providers may also be deducted.

10. Rescheduling Options

Sometimes rescheduling is a better option than canceling! If the Expert offers rescheduling, you'll see this option in your booking. Keep in mind that reschedule requests made very close to the session time may have limitations based on the Expert's policy.

11. If You Miss a Session

Life happens! If you miss a session, the Expert's no-show policy will apply. Most Experts may wait a few minutes as a grace period, but if the session can't meaningfully happen, refunds may not be available. We always recommend setting a reminder so you don't miss out.

12. Technical Difficulties

Issues on our end: If a session can't proceed due to a problem with our platform or on the Expert's side, we'll work with you to reschedule or process a refund.

Please report any issues within 24 hours by emailing hi@askobo.com. We can check our logs to understand what happened.

Issues on your end: Unfortunately, if technical problems are on your side (like internet connectivity), refunds may not be available. We recommend testing your setup before important sessions.

13. Disputes

If you're not satisfied with how a refund request was handled, please reach out to us first. We can often help resolve issues through direct communication with the Expert.

About chargebacks: If you file a chargeback with your bank, please know that this involves a formal process with your card provider. We recommend contacting us first at hi@askobo.com—we can usually resolve things faster.
