Resolve a dispute or report an issue
When and how to open a dispute, what Meyandy reviews, and how to prevent disputes upstream.
Before opening a formal dispute, try to resolve via chat:
- Clearly restate the gaps vs. the brief
- Propose specific, dated fixes
- Be factual, not emotional
80% of conflicts resolve at this stage. Open a dispute only if the talent doesn't reply or refuses reasonable fixes.
On the mission page, bottom, click Open dispute. Enter:
- Reason: Non-compliant delivery / No delivery / Inappropriate behavior / Other
- Detailed description of gaps (β₯ 200 chars)
- Evidence: screenshots, brief references, messages
The mission moves to In dispute β funds stay locked, the talent is notified and can reply.
A Meyandy moderator opens the case within 72 business hours. They review:
- The initial brief (mission text + pre-acceptance messages)
- Actual deliverables
- Message history
- Both parties' evidence
They may contact you for clarifications. The decision is emailed.
The moderator may decide:
- Full release to talent: deliverable matches the brief
- Partial release: part matches (e.g. 60% β 60% to talent, 40% refunded)
- Full refund: seriously non-compliant or never delivered
- Back to dialogue: not enough evidence, resume the conversation
The decision is final. Appeal is possible within 14 days via support@africa.meyandy.com.
Rules that prevent 95% of disputes:
- Written, precise brief: list expected deliverables, not fuzzy expectations
- Checkpoints: validate mockups before code, plans before execution
- Fair budget: too-low attracts inexperienced profiles
- Stay on platform: WhatsApp direct = zero Meyandy protection
