Last Updated: [16th December 2025]
DepositShield (“we”, “our”, or “us”) aims to provide reliable, high-quality cleaning and repair services. This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains how cancellations, refunds, and service adjustments are handled.
By booking with DepositShield, you agree to the terms below.
1. Cancellations by the Customer
1.1 Standard Bookings (Non-Urgent)
-
Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment → No cancellation fee

Cancellations made after the service provider has arrived → Full service fee may be charged
1.2 Urgent Bookings (24–36 hours or same-day)
Because these require priority scheduling:
