Know more about ALLSKC
Overview
All Skills Central (referred to as ALLSKC or ASC) is an online platform based in the United Kingdom, designed to connect experts, individuals, and companies in a versatile and secure marketplace. The platform acknowledges that many people are multitalented and offers a space where experts can showcase their diverse skills, certifications, and work experiences.
For Experts: Experts can create detailed profiles listing their skills, certifications and work experiences, which can be verified upon request. Verified skills and certifications are highlighted with a special banner to increase credibility. Experts can offer their services across various fields and interact with potential clients through chat, video meetings, or in-person meetings (not recommended). Payments for services rendered are facilitated through ALLSKC's split service to ensure secure and fair transactions. Experts are reviewed by clients, and their profiles can be promoted within the platform.
For Companies: Verified companies can post job listings, search for experts, and hire them based on their skills and certifications. The platform assists companies in making first-level selections of candidates, sorting these selections, and notifying candidates of the results. Companies are required to undergo verification before listing jobs, ensuring credibility and trust within the platform.
For Individuals: Individuals can search for and hire experts based on their needs, interact with them through secure channels, and pay for services via the platform's split service. Individuals do not require verification to use the platform but can still be reviewed based on their activity and interactions.
ASC as a Virtual Unit: Transactions on the platform are facilitated using a virtual unit called ALLSKC . Users can manage their ASC wallets by purchasing ASC packages with local currency. While ASC cannot be used to transact directly with other users or outside the platform, it can be earned through participation in platform activities and used for services such as profile promotion, upgrading to a premium plan, etc. ASC does not have any monetary value outside the platform and cannot be exchanged back into local currency.

ASC Loyalty Cashback
With every hire you make on ASC, you earn ASC Units back as a loyalty reward. This means that a portion of your spending (typically 1-2%) comes back to you in ASC Units, which you can use for upgrade, tasks, or other platform features. It’s our way of saying thank you and encouraging long-term relationships on the platform — rewarding you directly without adding extra costs.

1.7. By using the ASC platform, registering an account, or completing any transaction, users acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to this Refund & Cancellation Policy in its entirety.
2. Eligibility for Refunds
2.1. Refunds on the All Skills Central (ASC) platform are available only when both the Client and the Expert jointly submit a formal refund request through the ASC dashboard before the agreed project or job end date. This dual-approval process is designed to ensure fairness, prevent abuse, and confirm that both parties acknowledge the cancellation.
2.2. To qualify for a refund, the following conditions must be met:
-
The service in question has not yet been completed, delivered, or approved.
-
The refund request is made within the active project period, and before the platform marks the engagement as finalized or closed or fulfilled.
-
Sufficient evidence (e.g., chat records, task logs, delivery files) is available to support the refund claim.
-
Neither party is in material breach of the ASC Service Agreement or Terms & Conditions.
2.3. Refunds are not available under the following circumstances:
-
The project, session, or service has already been completed, marked as “delivered or finalized or closed or fulfilled” or confirmed by the Client.
-
The refund request is submitted after the contractual end date or outside the designated dispute window set by ASC.
-
Dissatisfaction is based solely on subjective grounds such as communication preferences, stylistic opinions, or personality differences, without a clear contractual breach.
-
The Client fails to provide the necessary information, materials, or access required for the Expert to perform the service.
-
The Client or Expert has violated ASC’s platform policies, including off-platform communication or direct payment outside ASC.
2.4. ASC retains the sole right to review, evaluate, and approve refund requests based on:
-
Verified communications within the platform;
-
Project milestones, timestamps, and completion status;
-
Escrow or payment transaction history; and
-
Compliance with ASC’s legal framework and service standards.
2.5. ASC may, at its discretion, initiate a partial refund if it determines that part of the agreed service has been completed or partially delivered in good faith before the cancellation.
2.6. Once ASC has reviewed the case and issued a final decision, the outcome shall be binding on both parties unless proven to breach applicable UK law.
3. Refund Amounts and Deductions
3.1. Platform Service Fee
All approved refunds are subject to a 10% non-refundable platform service fee, which covers administrative costs, transaction processing, and maintenance of payment security systems. This fee ensures the continued operation of the ASC dispute and refund infrastructure, as well as compliance with financial and data protection regulations.
3.2. Scope of Deductions
Where applicable, the 10% deduction will be automatically applied to the total refunded amount before processing. This fee applies uniformly to all transactions regardless of payment method or currency.
3.3. Partial Refunds
ASC reserves the right to issue partial refunds when:
-
A portion of the agreed work has been completed or delivered prior to the cancellation;
-
The Expert has demonstrably spent time or resources on the project; or
-
The Client cancels mid-engagement without sufficient cause under the Service Agreement.
In such cases, the refund amount will be proportionate to the unfulfilled portion of the service.
3.4. Processing Time
Refunds will be processed and credited to the Client’s original payment method within five (5) to seven (7) business days after final approval by ASC. Users will receive an automated confirmation once the refund is initiated.
3.5. Payment Provider Delays
ASC is not liable for any delays, failures, or errors arising from third-party payment providers (such as Stripe, Paystack, or Flutterwave).
Once ASC has initiated the refund, the completion of the transaction falls under the responsibility of the respective payment gateway and banking institutions involved.
3.6. Currency Conversion and Fees
Refunds are issued in the original transaction currency. Where applicable, users acknowledge that minor variations in refund value may occur due to exchange rate fluctuations or intermediary bank charges. ASC does not bear responsibility for such variations.
3.7. Refund Confirmation
Upon successful refund issuance, ASC will provide a Refund Confirmation Notice via email or platform notification, detailing:
-
The refunded amount (after deductions);
-
The date of initiation; and
-
The estimated completion timeframe.
3.8. Non-Reversible Refunds
Once processed, all refunds are final and non-reversible, except in cases of administrative error or proven breach of law by ASC or its partners.

(a) Clients may cancel a confirmed booking at any time prior to the official service start date through the ASC platform. In such cases, the Client may be eligible for a refund in accordance with this Policy.
(b) Any cancellation made after the service start date requires the Expert’s explicit consent for refund eligibility.
(c) If partial work has already been completed or resources have been allocated by the Expert, ASC may, at its discretion, approve a partial refund proportionate to the undelivered portion of the service.
(d) Clients acknowledge that cancelling a service close to the start date may result in administrative fees or loss of ASC Points or promotional credits used for the booking.
4.2. Expert Cancellations
(a) Experts may cancel a confirmed booking prior to commencement, but only for legitimate reasons such as:
-
Illness or medical incapacity;
-
Technical or logistical constraints beyond their control; or
-
Force majeure circumstances (e.g., natural disaster, emergency).
(b) Experts must immediately notify both the Client and ASC of the cancellation, providing a clear reason.

Review the Expert’s account for repeated or unjustified cancellations.
(d) Repeated or unjustified cancellations may result in warnings, account suspension, or permanent removal from the ASC platform.

Fraudulent or misleading information is detected;
-
Payment verification fails or is reversed;
-
There is evidence of attempted off-platform transactions or contact information exchange.
(b) In such cases, ASC may issue a full or partial refund depending on the stage of service completion, retaining the right to deduct administrative or processing fees.

4.4. Automatic Cancellations
(a) If either party becomes unresponsive or fails to take required actions (e.g., accepting a booking, providing service details, or confirming start), ASC may automatically cancel the booking after a reasonable period of inactivity (usually 7 calendar days).
(b) In such cases, ASC will determine whether a refund or credit should be issued, based on available evidence of the engagement’s progress.
4.5. Effect of Cancellation
All cancellations, once confirmed by ASC, shall result in the immediate deactivation of the corresponding booking link, removal of access to related project files, and update of the users’ transaction history.

A clear explanation of the reason for the refund; and

Any supporting materials, such as chat logs, delivery files, or proof of unfulfilled service.

Verified absence of completed or delivered work;
-
Compliance with ASC’s Terms, Service Agreement, and dispute procedures;
-
Evidence of mutual consent between the Client and the Expert.

Any documented progress or materials submitted;
