Yelp is a business directory service that makes it easy to find reviews for various businesses. The reviews are from members of the public. Yelp payments are for advertising and purchasing vouchers. There are different billing options depending on your voucher and agreement with Yelp.

Yelp strives to ensure that all users enjoy their experience. You can receive a refund if you are eligible for one. If you change your mind about a deal, submit your Yelp refund request and it will be processed as soon as possible. Note that different business owners and Yelp users have different terms and conditions.

Before giving you a refund for Yelp Deals, they will check to ensure that your voucher is marked redeemed. If it isn't, they assume that it wasn't used. You can get a refund for any Yelp deals or Certificates at its discretion.

Vouchers

Yelp vouchers have paid and promotional components. They are obtained from merchants. Vouchers are redeemable for a specified amount of services or goods. The promotional component of your voucher is only redeemable within the promotional period. If you are responsible for the voucher, you are the merchant.

If you fail to use a part of the promotional component, it loses its value. It is impossible to use it later. You may only redeem the voucher with the help of the issuing merchant. If they won't redeem the voucher in its full value, you may need to ask for help from Yelp. Note that it is unacceptable to create other copies of the voucher or to sell them.

Sometimes, it may be impossible to redeem the full-value of the voucher. If you have violated the existing terms and conditions, it may only be possible to redeem a part of it.

Since Yelp does not offer a warranty, you can't request refunds for damaged or faulty items. When you choose to purchase goods or services, the risk falls on you.
