# If I refuse missions, will I be penalized?

# Of course not !

It's even very important to feel free to refuse briefs. If you say no, it's because you don't have time or don't think you're the right fit for the brief.

Refusing briefs allows us:
1/ to improve our matching process
2/ to not wait for your response to send the brief to the client
3/ to offer the mission to other freelancers.

And above all, each matching is made by real people, the algorithm will not disadvantage you if you refuse briefs (in fact, you can indicate a reason for refusing).
