Question 3

How can I request a score?

Accepted Answer

You can search for a score and download it immediately if it's already been requested. If it hasn't been requested, you can set a budget for your request and musicians will bid on it. Once you choose and pay for an offer, the musician will start working on your request and deliver it by the agreed-upon time.

Question 5

What is your refund policy for inaccurate scores?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can request a refund if the score is inaccurate. Before doing so, please request revisions from the musician. If the score is still inaccurate, send us your order ID and explain the issue. We'll review it and refund you via our credit system (coupon codes). Musicians who consistently provide faulty scores will be flagged and receive a warning.

Question 6

Are the scores created by musicians checked for accuracy?

Accepted Answer

We have experienced musicians reviewing all uploaded scores to ensure accuracy and quality. They work behind the scenes to maintain a professional platform for musicians and learners.

Question 7

What happens if a musician doesn't deliver a score?

Accepted Answer

If a musician misses the deadline to deliver a score, you can request a full refund via your account. The musician will receive a negative mark on their account, which, if they accrue too many, will prevent them from sending further offers.

Question 8

What is a quality score?

Accepted Answer

A musician’s quality score is the average score based on their recent feedback combined with the test score they achieved when they registered. If a musician misses a deadline or a customer requests a refund, this can also impact the score. Customers will see a musician’s score whenever they bid on the customer’s request, e.g.: “Quality Score: 4.7 / 5 stars”.

Question 9

Why is the quality score important?

Accepted Answer

Based on musicians' quality score, you can know what to expect from the musician. For instance, if a musician has a quality score of 4.7/5 stars you can expect the score to be 97% accurate. You can improve that by requesting a revision. You can calculate that with a simple math: 4.7 * 20 = 94%.

Question 10

How can I collect my refund?

Accepted Answer

To make it easy for our customers to receive their money effortlessly, we issue refunds only via coupon codes and it's not possible to send the money back to your bank account.
