- Xongjug’s fee includes administrative, coordination, and service assurance charge

- If no suitable replacement is possible within 15 days, a partial refund of the remaining balance (after deducting Xongjug’s coordination charges and days served) may be considered.
- No refund will be granted for voluntary cancellation of services or misconduct by the client.
5. Replacement and Backup Policy
- In the event of a caregiver’s illness, family emergency, or withdrawal, Xongjug will attempt to arrange a replacement as early as possible.
