- The deposit is non-refundable if you cancel. Cancelling within 30 days of the event is charged at 100%. Between 30 and 15 days before, you can reduce your group by up to 30% at no cost (beyond that, 40% of the total is charged); between 15 and 7 days, by up to 5%. No-shows are charged in full. If force majeure prevents the event, your deposit is returned. Full terms are in your contract.
