About Pinit's role: Pinit is a platform that connects you with independent service providers. We are not the service provider and we do not perform, guarantee, or take responsibility for any services booked through the app. All agreements, service quality, and any issues are between you and the provider directly. Pinit is here to facilitate the connection and support the process.
⏱️
Open a Dispute
You have 48 hours after service completion to open a dispute through the app.
💬
Talk to Your Provider
For most issues, reaching out to your provider directly through the app is the fastest path to a resolution.
📸
Proof of Work
Providers should always take photos before and after every job. This protects both sides in any dispute.
🔒
Secure Payments
Payments are processed securely when you book and released to the provider after the job is marked complete.
🚫
Stay In the App
All bookings and payments must go through Pinit. Off-app transactions are not covered by support.
Disputes & Issues
Important
You have 48 hours from the time the service was completed to open a dispute. Log in to the Pinit app, go to Help, and follow the dispute link. Disputes submitted outside the app or after the 48 hour window may not qualify for resolution.
You have 48 hours from the time the service was completed to open a dispute. Log in to the Pinit app, go to Help, and follow the dispute link. Disputes submitted outside the app or after the 48 hour window may not qualify for resolution.
Your payment is held in a secured account while the dispute is reviewed. Pinit will facilitate communication between you and the provider to help both sides reach a resolution. If resolved in your favour, a refund will be processed within a few business days depending on your bank. Keep in mind that the service itself is the responsibility of the provider, not Pinit.
Start by reaching out to your provider directly through the app — most issues are resolved this way. If that does not work, you have 48 hours after the service to open a formal dispute through the Help section. You can also leave a rating and review. For additional support, email support@pinitnow.com.
The provider is responsible for their own work and any damages that occur during the service. Contact the provider through the app first. If you are unable to reach a resolution, open a dispute through the Help section. Pinit will facilitate the process, though the liability sits with the provider directly.
Report the issue through support as soon as possible and communicate with your provider through the app. Do not wait until after the service is complete to raise a serious concern. Pinit facilitates communication but outcomes are between you and the provider.
Providers are required to inform you if they are running late. If delays are excessive, you can open a dispute through the app for a potential refund.
You will receive a full refund to your original payment method. Refunds are processed within 2 to 5 business days depending on your bank.
Cancellations
- Before the provider accepts — free cancellation, no charge.
- More than 24 hours before — a small cancellation fee may apply depending on the service.

Payments & Refunds

Bookings
Search for a service category, browse provider profiles, review their ratings and pricing, then select the service you want. Choose your date and time, pay securely in the app, and the provider will review your request and confirm or decline. You will be notified once they respond.
Each provider sets their own prices. Some offer a fixed price for a job regardless of how long it takes. Others charge an hourly rate, where you select the number of hours and the total is calculated automatically. You will always see the full price before you confirm.
If a provider declines, you will be notified and your payment will not be charged. You can then browse and book a different provider.
The minimum booking period is one hour. The minimum fee for any service is $50.
Yes. Some providers allow you to book ongoing appointments at regular intervals. Check the provider's profile for availability.

Discuss any changes with your provider before the service begins. Changes to the scope of work may require a new or updated booking.

Trust & Safety
Yes. Every provider completes an identity check before they can accept jobs on Pinit. That said, Pinit is a platform — we verify identity, but the quality and outcome of every service is the responsibility of the provider.
Providers are responsible for holding any required licenses or insurance for their trade. Pinit does not verify, provide, or guarantee these documents.
