You are protected from day one. Because all payments go through Escrow.com, your funds are never released to the developer until you approve the work. This makes traditional "refunds" largely unnecessary — but we've outlined every scenario below.

1. How Escrow Protects You

Unlike traditional payment methods, Escrow.com holds your funds in a neutral account. Here's the protection flow:

This means you are never at risk of paying for work that wasn't delivered. The escrow system provides built-in refund protection far stronger than a standard refund policy.

2. Cancellation Before Work Begins

If you wish to cancel after funding escrow but before development has started, you are entitled to a full refund of the escrowed amount, minus any Escrow.com transaction fees (which are non-recoverable as they are charged by Escrow.com, not by FreddyDeveloper).

To cancel before work begins, contact us as soon as possible at freddydeveloper.com/contact and we will initiate the return of funds through Escrow.com promptly.

3. Cancellation During Development

If you wish to cancel a project that is already in progress, a partial refund may be issued based on the percentage of work completed at the time of cancellation.
