6. Quotes, Scheduling, Booking Deposits, and Payments
6.1 Provider Quotes & Scheduling Terms
Drivers and service providers independently set their own prices, availability, and service terms, including proposed dates and time windows. Customers and service providers may negotiate price, date, time, and scope directly through the platform prior to booking.
Quotes may expire if not accepted within the timeframe shown or may be withdrawn by the service provider before acceptance.
6.2 Booking Deposits
When a customer accepts a quote, a 20% booking deposit based on the accepted quote is charged through the platform using Stripe.
- MOVE THAT COUCH! keeps the booking deposit on completed jobs.
- The remaining 80% is paid directly to the service provider by the customer.
In some cases, a customer or user managing a service on behalf of a client may send a payment request or payment link to a third party for payment of the booking deposit. Any person submitting payment through such a payment link acknowledges and agrees to the applicable quote, booking, cancellation, refund, and platform terms associated with that service request.
6.3 Rescheduling & Cancellation Policy
Customers and service providers may mutually agree to reschedule a booked service. However, for purposes of cancellation and refund eligibility, the original date and time agreed to at booking controls all cancellation logic.
If a customer cancels more than 48 hours before the originally booked service date and time, amounts paid through Stripe may be refunded to the original payment method, and any MTC Credits applied to the booking may be restored to the user's MTC Credit balance in accordance with platform policies.
If a customer cancels within 48 hours of the originally booked service date and time, the service provider receives 100% of the booking deposit.
If a service provider cancels a booked service for any reason, the booking deposit is automatically refunded to the customer.
Important timing rule: The 48-hour window is calculated from the accepted quote at booking, regardless of later discussions or rescheduling.
Stripe processes booking deposit refunds and late cancellation payouts.
7. Referral Program
MOVE THAT COUCH! may offer a referral program that allows users to earn referral bonuses by inviting new customers or service providers to the platform.
7.1 How Referrals Work
Referrals may occur through a user's referral link, referral QR code, referral code, or other referral methods made available by MOVE THAT COUCH!. Referral tracking and bonus calculations are handled automatically by the platform.
7.2 Bonus Structure
Referrers earn 10% of the booking deposit for each eligible completed service completed by a referred user.
Referral bonuses are calculated based on the booking deposit only and do not apply to the total service price.
7.3 Eligibility
Referral bonuses are paid only for completed services. No referral bonus is paid for canceled, refunded, disputed, fraudulent, or otherwise ineligible transactions.
Referrers must maintain an account in good standing at the time the referred service is completed in order to receive a referral bonus.
Referral bonuses and MTC Credits are not paid or awarded in cases of self-referral or where the referrer and referred user share the same payout destination or otherwise appear to be the same person.
