Return Policy
Last Updated:
Our Commitment to Your Satisfaction
At Artauatelieril, we are committed to providing exceptional decluttering and organizational services that meet or exceed your expectations. We understand that inviting someone into your space requires trust, and we take that responsibility seriously. This Return Policy outlines our approach to service satisfaction, refunds, and dispute resolution.
Because we provide professional services rather than physical products, our return policy differs from traditional retail return policies. This document explains your rights and our obligations regarding service delivery and satisfaction.
Service Satisfaction Guarantee
We stand behind the quality of our work and are dedicated to ensuring you are satisfied with the services we provide. Our satisfaction guarantee includes:
- Professional, courteous service delivery by trained specialists
- Adherence to agreed-upon timelines and project scope
- Respect for your property, privacy, and preferences
- Clear communication throughout the service process
- Follow-up support as outlined in your service agreement
If you are not satisfied with any aspect of our service, we encourage you to communicate your concerns immediately so we can address them promptly and effectively.
Nature of Services
Our services are professional, time-based services that are consumed as they are delivered. Unlike physical products that can be returned, services cannot be "returned" once performed. However, we recognize that service quality issues may arise, and we have established procedures to address such situations fairly.
Service Categories
Our return and refund policies may vary slightly depending on the type of service:
- Initial consultations and assessments
- Single-session decluttering services
- Multi-session transformation packages
- Ongoing maintenance and support services
- Specialized services for unique situations
Cancellation Policy
Client-Initiated Cancellations
We understand that circumstances change and schedules need flexibility. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair to both parties:
Advance Notice Requirements
- Cancellations made 48 hours or more before scheduled service: Full refund of any deposits or prepayments
- Cancellations made 24-48 hours before scheduled service: 50% refund of deposits or prepayments
- Cancellations made less than 24 hours before scheduled service: No refund of deposits or prepayments
- No-show without prior notice: No refund and full service fee may be charged
Emergency Situations
We recognize that genuine emergencies occur. In cases of documented emergencies (such as sudden illness, family emergencies, or unforeseen circumstances beyond your control), we will work with you to reschedule without penalty or provide a refund at our discretion.
Company-Initiated Cancellations
If we need to cancel or reschedule your service for any reason, we will:
- Provide as much advance notice as possible
- Offer alternative dates and times that work for your schedule
- Provide a full refund of any payments made if rescheduling is not acceptable
- In cases of last-minute cancellations by us, offer a discount on future services as an apology for the inconvenience
Refund Policy
Eligibility for Refunds
Refunds may be issued in the following circumstances:
Service Not Delivered
If we fail to deliver the agreed-upon services for any reason, you are entitled to a full refund of all payments made for those undelivered services.

Third-Party Services
If we coordinate third-party services on your behalf (such as donation pickups, junk removal, or estate sales):
- We act as a facilitator but are not responsible for third-party performance
- Issues with third-party services should be addressed directly with those providers
- We will assist in resolving disputes when possible but cannot guarantee outcomes
- Refunds for third-party services are subject to those providers' policies
Ongoing Service Agreements
For monthly or recurring service agreements:
- Either party may terminate with 30 days written notice
- Prepaid services for the current billing period are non-refundable

We reserve the right to modify this Return Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. Your continued use of our services following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
