Quick answer
Paramour treats changes differently by stage. A Booking Request or ongoing Negotiation can be edited or withdrawn without penalties. Once a Proposal is accepted and becomes a Booking, the provider’s visible policies govern reschedules, late changes, cancellations, same‑day rules, and no‑shows. Clients request changes in the booking thread; providers approve or decline based on availability, travel, and boundaries. Keep everything documented in‑thread, confirm time zones, and prioritize safety—providers may cancel or stop at any time for safety or comfort.
Overview
Paramour recognizes four stages with clear expectations: Booking Request (not confirmed), Negotiation (details are still forming), Proposal (policies are visible and reviewable), and Booking (confirmed; policies apply). Providers define cancellation windows, reschedule options, same‑day and no‑show rules, and deposit terms where available. Clients can request changes; providers decide based on availability, travel, and boundaries. Keep every update in the booking thread, confirm time zones and travel logistics, and remember that safety overrides everything. Respectful communication and clear documentation reduce stress and build long‑term trust.
Stage‑Based Rules
Requests and negotiations are flexible. After a Proposal is accepted, the Booking follows the provider’s posted policies.
Provider‑Defined Policies
Set clear cancellation windows, reschedule terms, same‑day/no‑show rules, and optional deposits (where available) in the Proposal.
Documented, Respectful Changes
Keep all updates in the booking thread, confirm time zones and travel needs, and prioritize safety at every step.
Common questions
Yes. A Booking Request is not a confirmed booking. You can edit or withdraw it during the request or negotiation stage without penalty.
Rescheduling moves an already confirmed Booking to a new time/date with provider approval. Cancellation ends the confirmed Booking without rescheduling.
Put them in the Proposal. Policies must be visible before acceptance so both sides agree to the same terms.
Set a clear cut‑off time, state the consequence if it’s missed, and account for travel time and buffers. Keep the wording short and aligned with your schedule.
If a reschedule request isn’t approved, the original terms remain. If the change makes the Booking unworkable, follow the provider’s stated cancellation or late‑change policy.
Use the Proposal’s grace period. After it passes, note the no‑show in the thread and apply your policy. You may limit or block repeat offenders.
Where available and appropriate, yes—state deposit terms clearly in the Proposal. Do not advertise deposit features that are not supported in your region.
Safety comes first. You may stop communication or cancel immediately. Keep the message brief and professional, and use blocking or reporting when needed.
Confirm the time zone in the Proposal. For travel or outcalls, also confirm lead time, transport needs, and a communication checkpoint.
Cancellations and changes are operational, not marketing signals. Keep your Availability updated so discoverability remains accurate.
Final thoughts
Clarity reduces stress. Put policies in the Proposal, document changes in the thread, confirm time zones and travel realities, and keep the tone respectful. Provider autonomy and safety come first; consistent structure builds long‑term trust.
