LOTUS Workforce operates on a commission-based platform model.

Applicable Commission may be charged in connection with transactions involving:

  • Materials;
  • Duration;
  • Location;

14. PAYMENTS AND RAZORPAY

Payments made through the Platform may be processed through Razorpay or another authorised payment service provider used by the Company.

The Company does not ordinarily store complete debit card, credit card or banking credentials on its own systems where payment processing is handled by the authorised payment processor.

Any refund of a Customer payment, where applicable, may be subject to the Company's refund policy, transaction circumstances, payment gateway rules and applicable law.

A refund of the service amount does not automatically mean that any Commission or other applicable fee will also be refunded.

16. CANCELLATION AND NON-COMPLETION OF WORK

A Customer or Service Provider may cancel a booking or work request subject to the applicable cancellation terms displayed on the App.

The Company may impose restrictions, deductions or other consequences for repeated cancellations, abandonment of accepted work, fraudulent cancellations or misuse of the Platform, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

  • Delay;
  • Cancellation;
  • Damage to property;
  • Materials;
  • Conduct;
  • Misrepresentation; or
  • Non-completion of work

should first be communicated to and resolved between the relevant Customer and Service Provider.

The Company may, at its discretion, assist in communication, investigation or facilitation of a dispute.

However, the Company's facilitation of a dispute does not make the Company a party to the underlying service contract between the Customer and Service Provider and does not guarantee any particular outcome.

The Company may take reasonable Platform-level action where there is evidence of policy violations, fraud, misconduct or misuse.

18. USER CONDUCT AND PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

Users must not:

  • A suspected fraudulent transaction;
