How the Resolution Center works for clients vs. freelancers

Let's review how it works for clients vs. freelancers.

How the Resolution Center works for clients

For the clients’s Resolution Center, you can choose to:

• Get an order update
  Clients can ask their freelancer to provide a progress/status update for their order.
  
  Please note: If the freelancer fails to update you after two days, the dispute will be automatically closed and the order will return to its previous status.
  
  
• Ask to cancel the order
  You have the option to request your freelancer to cancel the order—and explain why you would like to cancel the order.
  Freelancers will have up to 48 hours to accept or decline dispute requests made by a clients.
  

How the Resolution Center works for freelancers

For the freelancer’s Resolution Center, you can choose to:

• Ask your client to cancel the order
  When you request to cancel an order, your cancellation request and comments are sent directly to your client. After you select the dispute reason from the choices provided, you will also be able to explain why you’re submitting the request.
  
  Learn more about Cancelations.
  

Note: Freelancers can request to extend the delivery date and/or add extras on the order page.
If your client doesn't respond within 4 days of your request to extend your delivery date, the request will be withdrawn—meaning the order will return to its previous status, with no changes made to the delivery date.

Note: When an order is in completed status, you will not be able to use the resolution center. Please contact Customer Support to cancel the order. 

Important things to know
