# Cancel or get a refund

> What happens when a trade passes its deadline, and how to finish it yourself

If a trade doesn't settle by its deadline, it ends without you doing
anything: the relayer sends each step for you, and your funds come back.
No fee is taken. How it works is on
[Cancels and refunds](https://docs.pfbridge.xyz/v3/concepts/cancels-and-refunds.md).

## What you'll see

On the trade page:

1. **Deadline passed:** a cancel can start.
2. **Cancel claimed:** the cancel window is open. A payout can still land
   in this window.
3. **Refund on its way:** the cancel finished on the ad chain; the refund
   follows on the order chain.
4. **Cancelled:** done. The Bridger's deposit is back, and the Maker's
   lock is back in the ad.

## Finish it yourself

You don't have to wait for the relayer. When a step is ready, the trade
page offers it under **Finish it yourself**:

| Button | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Claim cancel** | starts the cancel on the ad chain, after the deadline |
| **Finalize cancel** | finishes it after the cancel window |
| **Cancel never-locked order** | cancels an order the Maker never locked |
| **Refund the deposit** | refunds the Bridger on the order chain |
| **Pay the maker (forfeit)** | pays the Maker on the order chain after a "bridger forfeit" ruling |
| **Record the settled leg** / **Settle the other leg** | completes a trade where only one side's payout landed |

Each is a transaction from your wallet, and it costs gas only. If a step
was already sent by someone else, sending it again just fails; the page
updates on its next read.

## Save the proofs

**Save the proofs for this trade** downloads a file with every proof the
remaining steps need. Keep it: with it, the proof steps can still be sent
even if the relayer goes away.

## Funds waiting for you

If a payout couldn't be delivered to your wallet, it's held for you as a
claimable balance. The trade page shows **Funds waiting for you**; click
**Claim your refund** to withdraw it. Returned dispute bonds show up here
too.
