Refund & Cancellation Policy

Cancellations, no-shows & refunds

We want every session on Bluestellers to be worthwhile. If a session can't happen, here is exactly what you are entitled to and how the refund works. This policy applies to one-on-one sessions, consultations and discovery calls booked and paid for on the platform.

At a glance

Mentor cancels the session

You receive a 100% refund of what you paid.

The mentor asks to move the session and you cancel instead

While that request is still open — that is, before the response deadline shown with it — you receive a 100% refund of what you paid, with no gateway fee deducted, because the change was not your doing. Once the request is closed or its deadline has passed, the 48-hour rules below apply again.

You cancel 48 hours or more before the start time

You receive a full refund, minus the non-refundable payment-gateway fee (the small charge the payment processor keeps on every transaction).

You cancel less than 48 hours before the start time

You receive a 50% refund. The remaining 50% is retained to compensate the mentor for the reserved time.

The mentor doesn't show up (no-show)

You are entitled to a full refund of what you paid.

If the mentor cancels

When a mentor cancels a confirmed session, you are refunded 100% of the amount you paid. You'll be notified by email, and the refund is initiated automatically — no need to ask.

If you cancel

You can cancel an upcoming session yourself from your dashboard, under Upcoming Sessions. How much comes back depends on timing:
  • 48 hours or more before the start time: a full refund, minus the payment-gateway fee. The gateway fee is charged by the payment processor and is not something Bluestellers keeps, so it cannot be returned.
  • Less than 48 hours before the start time: a flat 50% refund. Because the mentor has reserved that time for you, the other 50% is retained.
  • While the mentor's request to move the session is still open: a full 100% refund, with no gateway fee deducted, no matter how close to the start time you cancel. If the new time the mentor proposed doesn't work for you and you'd rather not keep the original one, you are not out of pocket. This applies from the moment the mentor asks to move the session until the response deadline shown with the request — including while you are waiting for the mentor to answer a different time you suggested. Once the request is closed — you accepted or declined it, the mentor withdrew it, or the deadline passed without an answer — the two timing rules above apply again to any later cancellation.

If your mentor doesn't show up

If you joined the session but the mentor never did, you are owed a full refund of what you paid. Once the session's scheduled end time has passed, open your dashboard, find the session and use Report an issue → “The expert never joined”. If you can't reach your dashboard, email support@oneguidely.com. Our team reviews every report and resolves it with a full refund.

How and when refunds are processed

Refunds are returned to your original payment method. To allow our team to review any edge cases, a refund is initiated after the session's scheduled end time and then processed within 3–5 business days. Depending on your bank or card issuer, it may take a little longer to appear on your statement.

Rescheduling

A session moves to a new time only when the mentor asks to move it and you agree. If that happens, the request appears on the session in your dashboard and you can accept the new time, suggest a different one, or keep your original time — doing nothing keeps the original time too. Moving a session never costs anything. Every request has a deadline to respond by, shown alongside it. If none of the options suit you, cancel while the request is still open and you receive a full 100% refund. If the deadline passes without an answer, or you decline the new time, or the mentor withdraws the request, your original time stands and a cancellation after that follows the normal 48-hour rules above. For anything else, contact support@oneguidely.com.
