PAYMENT and REFUND POLICY

When Service Providers Purchase Credits – Refund Policy

Service Providers can purchase CREDITS with Credit Card.  Authorization and verification must be received prior to ability to submitting bids for project videos available.

If Service Provider feels a video is miss-categorized or inappropriate, it can be flagged, and credits refunded upon approval and verification of issue.

If Service Provider issues a bid that is chosen, but then cancelled by the Client before work actually starts credits will be refunded upon verification and approval

When Clients accept Bids – Refund and Deposit Policies

Users seeking service on the APP agree to the terms within each bid submitted. Credit Card authorization and verification must be received prior to service facilitation initiation. Payment terms are described as:

100% Due Upon Completion.  User provides payment information at time of accepting bid and ordering service.  BMV processes funds and notifies the Service Provider that funds are verified, and work needs to be performed.  BMV Inc. holds funds and once Service Provider is complete funds are released with confirmation from the Client for the release.  If Service Provider submits a project as complete and Client does not respond to accept or reject request with in 48 hours, the funds are released, and job considered complete.

50% Phase 1 Payment / 50% Phase 2 Payment. User provides payment information at time of accepting bid and ordering service for processing at each phase of the project. Projects with a “50/50” Payment term are likely to have a rough phase and trim or finish phase.  This 2-step payment process is helpful for Clients doing remodel work or have needs to phase the project for budget or other reasons.  BMV processes funds and notifies the Service Provider that funds are verified, and work needs to be performed.  BMV Inc. holds funds and once Service Provider is complete funds are released with confirmation from the Client for the release.  If Service Provider submits a project as complete and Client does not respond to accept or reject request within 48 hours, the funds are released, and job considered complete.

NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT

ALL SERVICE ordered is subject up to a 15% if No Work Has Started and 20 % Non-Refundable Deposit Fee if work has started, in relation to the service ticket.  If work has started, and project cancelled for other reason then full completion and release of funds, remaining funds will go through “Mediation”. (See Mediation Policy).

Please remember, Service Providers on BidMyVid™ are “Contractors” and/or “Service Companies” or professional service and trades individuals and the nature of this platform is to act as an extension of their business by offering similar commitment and responsibility by both parties by means of our “Safe Payment, Piece of Mind” Pay Portal and Escrow Services.

Should service be canceled by the Client after acceptance of bid submission, the Client understands, accepts and approves, by proof of original acceptance of bid submission, that the escrow value held is subject to a 15% Non-Refundable Deposit if No Work has begun, or a 20% deposit that is non-refundable if work started.

This aids the Service Provider and BMV Inc, as both have accrued cost in order to service the confirmed order.  This fee is helpful in offsetting costs unforeseen/expected when attempting to service swiftly. It includes costs to advertise and acquire the client, restocking fees for materials and supplies purchased but not installed due to cancellation, fuel for facilitation preparation, permits, custom materials or orders or any other costs that are not recoverable because of the Clients’ action to accept the bid and cause additional actions that result in cost or other loss.

If Service Provider cancels after acceptance and payment confirmation by Client is received, full refund is issued.

MEDIATION POLICY

When Client and Service Provider are in dispute or needs assistance closing the project with out challenge, BMV Inc. has worked to solve this.  As a secure escrow of your service funds, we have 2 steps of mediation.  Step 1 is an automated and algorithm designed to SUM the best solution and average result to offer a simple separation point for both parties.  If this is not acceptable by either party, the option to escalate the issue for Step 2 of mediation is offered for a simple 2% cost of the gross ticket to aid in civil and mutually beneficial separation.  If success is not met, BMV Inc. will hold funds until a legal order to release the funds is issued by a Civil Court having jurisdiction where the work was done.  This UNIQUE and 1ST of its kind was created in efforts to help solve challenges of not having access to free and/or affordable mediation support services.  Mediation Policy works in conjunction with the Refund and Purchase Policies.
