<h2 id="a-business-requirements">(a) Business requirements <a class="anchor" href="#a-business-requirements" aria-hidden="true">#</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Cancellation/refund rules are <strong>tiered and structured</strong>, not a single blunt "default 100%". The platform defines <code>cancellation_policies</code> tiers by <strong>lead time</strong> and <strong>initiating actor</strong>:<ul>
<li><strong>Free</strong> cancellation more than 24h before start.</li>
<li><strong>Partial</strong> refund (e.g., 50%) under 24h.</li>
<li><strong>Customer no-show:</strong> up to 100% charge.</li>
<li><strong>Nurse no-show:</strong> full refund to the customer <strong>and</strong> a penalty/forfeiture for the nurse.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The <strong>applicable policy is snapshotted onto the booking</strong> at booking time (mirroring the per-booking fee-rate snapshot), so later policy edits never rewrite history. The <strong>resolved</strong> cancellation fee / refund percentage is recorded on the refund event.</li>
<li>For multi-session engagements, <strong>cancellation is per remaining session:</strong> cancelling mid-engagement refunds only the un-started sessions, while completed-and-verified sessions remain payout-eligible.</li>
<li><strong>Refunds are admin-only</strong> — there is no customer self-service refund. A refund is initiated by an admin and <strong>must be linked to a support ticket</strong> (<code>tickets</code>) that holds the conversation and dispute evidence.</li>
<li>A refund <strong>decomposes across the two fee legs</strong> — how much of the platform commission and how much of the nurse payout is being reversed — because the booking gross is <code>platform commission + nurse payout</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="b-iran-specific-considerations">(b) Iran-specific considerations <a class="anchor" href="#b-iran-specific-considerations" aria-hidden="true">#</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>A flat percentage is too blunt for شبانه‌روزی live-in engagements and Iranian holiday-period bookings; tiered, snapshotted policy reduces dispute load.</li>
<li><strong>The refund money path depends on whether the nurse has already been paid</strong> (Section 8/10): pre-payout it is a clean reversal; post-payout it becomes a platform-funded refund plus a nurse clawback, because an Iranian bank transfer to a nurse's IBAN is effectively irreversible.</li>
<li>For BNPL bookings, the refund <strong>never</strong> goes nurse→customer or Balinyaar→customer directly — it is initiated through the BNPL provider's revert/cancel API (Section 8/9).</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="c-mvp-vs-deferred">(c) MVP vs DEFERRED <a class="anchor" href="#c-mvp-vs-deferred" aria-hidden="true">#</a></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>MVP:</strong> tiered <code>cancellation_policies</code>; per-booking policy snapshot; admin-only, ticket-linked refunds; per-session cancellation for engagements; nurse-no-show vs customer-no-show handling; fee-leg decomposition on refunds.</li>
<li><strong>DEFERRED:</strong> automated nurse no-show penalty (manual admin action at launch); self-service partial-refund UI; holiday-specific cancellation overrides.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="d-supporting-database-entities">(d) Supporting database entities <a class="anchor" href="#d-supporting-database-entities" aria-hidden="true">#</a></h2>
<p><strong><code>cancellation_policies</code></strong>, <code>bookings</code> (policy snapshot, <code>dispute_window_ends_at</code>), <code>refunds</code> (admin-only, <code>ticket_id</code>, fee-leg decomposition, <code>refund_channel</code>), <code>tickets</code>, <code>nurse_clawbacks</code> (post-payout case), <code>ledger_entries</code>.</p>
