Terms & conditions · version 2026-10-30.1

Customer Terms & Conditions

These terms apply to everyone who books a service through the HomyZone app. They are the same terms the app shows under Profile › Terms & Conditions, and every figure in them is the one the platform applies today.

  • Effective 30 October 2026
  • 17 sections, 60 clauses
  • Identical to the text in the app

1.Account

  1. U1

    You must be 18 or older and register with a mobile number you control. Login is by OTP, and you are responsible for anything done from your account.

  2. U2

    One mobile number may hold one customer account and one partner account; they are separate.

  3. U3

    Keep your profile and saved addresses accurate — the professional goes where the booking says.

2.Bookings

  1. U4

    A booking is a request; it is confirmed only when a professional accepts it. If nobody accepts, the booking ends as "No provider" and any online payment is refunded in full.

  2. U5

    Bookings can be for now or for a later slot, up to 7 days ahead.

  3. U6

    Prices shown are the platform's fixed prices for the listed service. Anything outside the listed scope must be agreed separately and may be refused by the professional.

  4. U45

    Some repair and check-up services are marked "labour only". Their price covers the professional's visit, the diagnosis and the repair work; spare parts and consumables are not included. If a replacement part is needed, the professional tells you which one, you arrange and pay for the part yourself, and the professional fits it as part of the same booking at no extra charge. HomyZone does not supply, price or warrant spare parts.

  5. U53

    Where a "market price" is shown beside a service, it is the typical price HomyZone has found for that job elsewhere in your city, shown only to compare. You are never charged it, and "You saved" means the difference between it and the HomyZone price at the time you booked.

  6. U7

    Some services allow booking several units on one visit; the count you choose is what is billed. Multi-unit discounts, where offered, are shown before you confirm.

  7. U8

    A second booking of the same service within 1 minute is blocked, to prevent accidental double booking.

  8. U9

    A booking's 4-digit PIN is shown only to you. Share it only with the professional who arrives, at the start of work; it is how the platform knows the job began.

3.Payment

  1. U10

    You may pay online (prepaid via Razorpay / UPI) or in cash after the service, as offered on the booking.

  2. U60

    Carpenter, Electrician, Fan Installation, Furniture Assembly, Home Painting, Plumber are booked by paying a ₹29 platform charge — HomyZone's charge for booking a consultant, paid online at any hour. Once a professional accepts, you and they can see each other's contact details to talk about the job before the visit. The charge is refunded in full if no professional is assigned or the professional does not arrive, and otherwise under the cancellation rules below; once the visit has happened it is not refunded, whether or not you go ahead with the work. The work itself is agreed with the professional and is separate from the platform charge.

  3. U11

    Online payments are held against the booking and refunded under the cancellation rules below. Cash is paid to the professional in full on completion.

  4. U12

    If you owe the platform money (a cancellation charge on a cash booking), you cannot make a new booking until it is paid. Dues are paid by UPI from the Wallet screen.

  5. U13

    If 5 or more of your last 10 bookings were cancelled late, the cash option is removed from your account for a period.

  6. U46

    A booking for right now made between 8 PM and 8 AM is cash on service only; online payment is not offered for it. A booking for a later slot can be paid either way.

4.Coins & cashback

  1. U14

    Paying online earns cashback coins on the booking, credited on completion; the app shows how many before you pay. Coins are not money and cannot be withdrawn or transferred.

  2. U15

    Coins can pay for part of a future online booking, up to the limit the app shows at checkout. A booking paid partly with coins earns no new coins.

  3. U16

    Coins expire 45 days after they were earned. The platform may change rates, caps or expiry for coins earned after the change.

  4. U47

    Rating your professional after a completed booking gives you a scratch card worth between 1 and 10 coins. The amount is drawn at random by the platform, is the same whatever rating you give, and follows the coin rules above. The platform may change or withdraw the card at any time.

5.Welcome discount & referrals

  1. U48

    Discounts given by HomyZone — the welcome discount and referral rewards — are separate from coins. Each one takes a fixed amount off one booking of ₹300 or more, paid online or in cash, and is applied automatically, the one expiring soonest first. On a smaller booking it is kept for later, never used in part. A booking that uses one earns no cashback coins.

  2. U49

    A new customer gets ₹100 off their first booking of ₹300 or more. It is given once per mobile number, including when an account is deleted and opened again.

  3. U50

    If a friend joins with your referral code, you and your friend each get ₹50 off a later booking once your friend completes their first booking of ₹300 or more. You can earn this for up to 10 friends a month; above that, your friend is still rewarded.

  4. U51

    A friend's referral code must be entered before your first completed booking, cannot be your own, and each mobile number can be referred only once. Numbers registered as HomyZone partners cannot be referred, and the reward is cancelled if the professional on the qualifying booking shares a mobile number with either of you. Rewards are given only for completed bookings, never cancelled ones.

  5. U52

    Discounts expire 90 days after they are given. If a booking that used one is cancelled or no professional is found, the discount is returned with its original expiry. Discounts have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn or transferred. The platform may change or end these offers at any time; discounts already given keep their terms.

6.Cancellations & refunds

  1. U17

    You may cancel free at any time before a professional is assigned, and for 2 minutes after one is assigned.

  2. U18

    After assignment a cancellation charge applies on a sliding scale: you are refunded 90% while the professional is on the way, 75% once they have arrived, and nothing once work has started. The exact charge is shown before you confirm the cancellation.

  3. U19

    Refunds of online payments go back to the original payment method within the payment gateway's timeline. On cash bookings the charge is recorded as dues (see U12).

  4. U20

    If the professional cancels or fails to arrive, you are never charged, and any online payment is refunded in full.

  5. U21

    If you are unreachable or absent for 15 minutes after the professional arrives, the booking may be closed as a no-show and charged as an "arrived" cancellation.

7.On-time arrival

  1. U54

    When a professional accepts your booking, the app shows the time they promise to arrive by. For a booking now it is worked out from their distance to you and is never more than 90 minutes after they accept; for a scheduled booking it is a window from 15 minutes before to 10 minutes after your slot. Once shown, the time is not moved later.

  2. U55

    If the professional arrives more than 15 minutes after the promised time, HomyZone adds 30 coins to your wallet, once per booking, when the work starts. The arrival time is when the app records the professional at your address or, if it records none, when you share the start PIN. These coins are used and expire like any other coins.

  3. U56

    If the professional has not arrived 30 minutes after the promised time, you may cancel free of charge: any online payment is refunded in full, and coins or discounts you used come back to you.

8.My Pro

  1. U57

    After a professional completes a job for you, you can choose them as your pro for that category — one pro per category — and remove them at any time in Profile. When you book in that category, or tap Book again on a past job, that professional is offered the job alone for 2 minutes before everyone else — unless they cannot take it right then, or you choose Not this time or Ask everyone now. They may decline, and the job then goes to everyone at once.

  2. U58

    If you sign up with a HomyZone partner's invite link or code before your first booking, that partner becomes your pro in every category they offer at the time, and you can't also use a friend's referral code. You can still remove them as your pro. It does not change the prices you pay.

9.My Home

  1. U59

    My Home gives your home a health score from 0 to 100, from how overdue your saved appliances and vehicles are for a service under HomyZone's service intervals. Something with no service date yet is not counted. If your score is 80 or more every day of a calendar month, you receive 10 coins at the start of the next month. Coins from this reward follow the same rules as other coins.

10.Service delivery

  1. U22

    The professional's live location is shared with you only while they are on the way to your booking.

  2. U23

    You must provide reasonable access, working conditions and safety at the address; the professional may stop work if these are unsafe.

  3. U24

    Photos or notes recorded by the professional during the job may be attached to the booking for dispute purposes.

11.Scope of service & personal conduct

  1. U41

    HomyZone's responsibility covers only the service you booked, as listed in the app, for the price shown. This applies to every category.

  2. U42

    Anything that takes place between you and a professional beyond the booked service is outside the platform. Any such interaction can only happen by the free and mutual choice of the two adults involved — it is not part of any HomyZone service, and HomyZone does not arrange it, endorse it, or take any responsibility for it or for its consequences.

  3. U43

    Neither party may hold HomyZone responsible for conduct outside the booked service. A claim, complaint, or public statement blaming HomyZone for such conduct will be treated as false and defamatory; HomyZone reserves the right to take legal action against every person involved and to remove their accounts permanently.

  4. U44

    Offering, requesting, or negotiating anything beyond the booked service through HomyZone is prohibited and is grounds for immediate and permanent removal from the platform. Any conduct that is not mutually agreed must be reported to homyzone.support@gmail.com; HomyZone will cooperate fully with the authorities.

12.Hourly services (Instahelp)

  1. U25

    Hourly services are billed for the first hour up front. Additional time is added in half-hour blocks, each confirmed by you in the app before it is billed.

13.Vehicle services

  1. U26

    Bike and car bookings must name a vehicle by registration number; the plate you give is what the professional services.

  2. U27

    You bring the vehicle to the professional. When it is ready the professional may offer to drop it back to your address for ₹99 for a bike or ₹199 for a car, paid in cash when you receive it; you may accept or decline in the app, and there is no charge if you collect it yourself.

  3. U28

    You are responsible for your vehicle's documents and for removing valuables before handing it over.

14.Disputes & ratings

  1. U29

    You can raise a dispute on a completed booking within 7 days; the platform's decision on refunds or re-service is final.

  2. U30

    Ratings and reviews must be honest and about the service; abusive content may be removed.

15.Dealing outside the platform

  1. U31

    Arranging or paying for work directly with a professional you met through HomyZone, bypassing the app, is not permitted. Work arranged that way carries no protection, no refunds and no cashback.

  2. U32

    The platform may act on patterns that indicate off-platform dealing — repeat cancellations between the same customer and professional, reports — including restricting accounts.

16.Data & privacy

  1. U33

    We collect your mobile number, name, addresses, booking history, and your location while you use address features, to run the service. Your phone number is shared with the assigned professional only for the booking's duration.

  2. U34

    Push notifications carry booking updates. You can turn them off in your phone settings, but you may then miss updates about a job.

  3. U35

    Payments are processed by Razorpay; we do not store your card or UPI credentials.

17.General

  1. U36

    Professionals are independent service providers, not HomyZone employees. HomyZone facilitates the booking and the payment.

  2. U37

    HomyZone's liability for a booking is limited to the amount paid for that booking.

  3. U38

    We may suspend accounts for abuse, fraud, repeated no-shows or cancellations, or breach of these terms.

  4. U39

    These terms may be updated. A change to charges, refunds, penalties or the data we collect is shown to you in the app and needs your agreement before you continue; other changes apply once published. Governing law: India. Jurisdiction: the courts of Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

  5. U40

    Support: ask HomyBot in the app, or write to homyzone.support@gmail.com.

About this text

Version 2026-10-30.1, effective 30 October 2026. This is the same text the HomyZone apps show under Profile › Terms & Conditions. Every figure in it — charges, percentages, time limits — is filled in from the platform’s live settings, so the app’s copy is always current; if this page and the app ever differ, the app’s text is the one that applies.
