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?

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%.

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.
