The User must pay the full Booking Amount as displayed at the time of checkout. The Balance Amount, where applicable may be payable through the Platform within the timeline specified at the time of Booking. Payments collected by the Company shall be processed and settled to Hosts in accordance with the Company’s internal payout structure and arrangements with the respective Host. 2.2 Anti-Circumvention The User agrees not to bypass the Platform’s payment system in respect of payment of the Booking Amount and / or the Balance Amount with a view to avoiding applicable fees, safeguards or policies. The Company reserves the right to suspend accounts, cancel bookings and restrict participation or listings in case of any attempt to circumvent Platform payments, in accordance with the Terms. 2.3 Refund Applicability
The refund applicable upon cancellation of a Booking by the User and / or the Host, shall depend on the cancellation plan displayed at the time of Booking the relevant Experience and the time at which the cancellation request is received by the Platform. Users are advised to read the cancellation plan carefully prior to Booking any specific Experience.
References in cancellation plans to the time before “trip start” shall be calculated by reference to the scheduled commencement of the Booking as recorded on the Platform.
3. CANCELLATION BY USER 3.1 Host Cancellation Plans
Each Host selects a cancellation plan from the plan tiers provided by the Company. The applicable plan and the resulting refund entitlements are displayed to the User prior to Booking and become binding upon Booking. The User is advised to review the applicable cancellation plan carefully before proceeding with the Booking. 3.2 Initiation Of Cancellation
All cancellation requests shall be initiated through the Platform or through such authorised support channels as the Company may designate. The cancellation shall be deemed effective on the date and time of acceptance and confirmation by the Platform (“User Cancellation”) and the refund eligibility, if any, shall be determined by reference to such effective date and the cancellation plan applicable to the Booking. 4. CANCELLATION BY HOST 4.1 User Election
Where a Host cancels a Booking Confirmation (“Host Cancellation”), the User may elect in respect of all amounts paid through the Platform, either a full refund to the original payment method or a Cover Note equivalent to the eligible refund amount, subject to the conditions set out in this Refund Policy. The Platform shall communicate these options to the User within 5 (five) business days of Host Cancellation. 4.2 Direct Payment
For any amount paid by the User directly to a Host outside the Platform’s payment system, the Company shall not be responsible for refund, recovery or settlement of such amount. 4.3 Consumer Protection Safeguard Notwithstanding the above, where a Booking is initiated through the Platform and the Host fails to deliver the service or commits a material breach, the Company shall provide reasonable assistance in pursuing the claim with the Host and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate recovery, adjustment or compensation. 5. REFUND ELIGIBILTY AND PROCESSING 5.1 Eligibility
Refunds shall be available only to the extent provided under the cancellation plan applicable to the Booking, which shall be displayed to the User prior to the Booking, and shall be accepted by the User by submission of the Booking request. 5.2 No Refund Cancellations
The User must read and understand the applicable refund eligibilities for each type of Experience, since certain Experiences (such as volunteer programs) may not be eligible for any refund upon cancellation. 5.3 Initiation Timelines The Company shall initiate eligible refunds within 15 (fifteen) business days of approval for domestic payments and within 30 (thirty) business days for international payments. The actual time taken for the refund to reflect in the User’s account shall depend on the issuing bank, payment service provider and card network, and the Company shall not be liable for any delays attributable to such third parties. 5.4 Bank Credit Window Once the Company has initiated a refund in accordance with this Refund Policy and the refund categories for the Booking, payment service provider's standard refund processing window for crediting refunds to the original payment instrument can be typically 5 (five) to 7 (seven) business days for domestic non-card transactions and 5 (five) to 10 (ten) business days for card transactions, whether domestic or international and in each case subject to processing by the issuing bank, the relevant card network and any other intermediary financial institutions. The Company shall not be liable for any delays in the initiation or crediting of refunds attributable to the payment service provider, issuing banks, card networks or other intermediary financial institutions. 5.5 International and Cross Border Refunds In case payments are made using international cards or cross border payment methods, refund processing may take longer due to intermediary banking systems, foreign exchange processing and card network requirements and may take approximately 14 (fourteen) to 21 (twenty-one) business days or longer depending on the issuing bank and card network. 5.6 Source Refunds
All refunds initiated by the Company shall be processed, to the extent possible, only to the original payment instrument used by the User at the time of payment. If the original payment instrument is no longer active or accessible (for instance, closed bank account, expired card, or deactivated VPA), the User shall promptly notify the Company, and the refund shall be processed in such alternate manner as the Company and the payment service provider may permit, subject to Applicable Law and any identity / account verification considered necessary by the Company. 5.7 Irrevocability of Refunds
Once an eligible refund has been initiated by the Company through the payment service provider, the refund instruction cannot be cancelled, reversed or modified. Any subsequent grievance, recovery or chargeback shall be treated as a separate matter by the Company and dealt with accordingly. 5.8 Refund Tracking and Reference Numbers Upon initiation of an eligible refund, the Company may provide the User a refund identifier and, where issued by the payment service provider or the banking partner, a unique bank reference number (such as an ARN, RRN or UTR). The Company shall not be liable where any such reference number is not available, is delayed or is not recognised by the User’s issuing bank. 5.9 Uncaptured or Failed Payments
Where a payment is initiated by the User but is not captured by the Platform (for instance, due to system error, drop-off at checkout, or technical failure), the refund amount shall be auto-transferred to the User’s original payment method in accordance with the standard processes of the payment service provider, typically within 3 (three) days from the date of payment. No separate cancellation or refund request from the User may be necessary for such uncaptured payments.
Processing fees, platform subscription charges and transaction charges, including charges levied by the payment service provider at the time of payment capture (including any merchant discount rate, convenience fee or platform fee retained by the payment service provider) are not reversed at the time of refund. Accordingly, the net amount credited to the User on refund may be lower than the gross amount originally paid, to the extent of such non-reversible charges. A refund breakdown indicating applicable deductions shall be made available to the User on processing of the refund. 5.11 Tax Treatment of Refunds
All refunds shall be processed in accordance with Applicable Law. Taxes, where applicable, may not be reversed at the time of refund and shall be reflected in the relevant tax filings. Accordingly, the net amount refunded to the User may be lower than the total amount originally paid on account of applicable cancellation charges, tax adjustments, non-reversible deductions and payment service provider or banking charges. 5.12 Discharge
Once a refund has been initiated by the Company to the original payment method or in such other manner as agreed with the payment service provider, the Company’s obligation in respect of such refund shall be deemed fully discharged. 6. COVER NOTES 6.1 Nature and Value
A Cover Note represents a fixed value equivalent to the eligible refundable amount and is a non-cash, non-transferable and non-withdrawable credit issued in lieu of a monetary refund, redeemable for future bookings on the Platform through the same User account. A Cover Note does not constitute legal tender or a bankable instrument and is not redeemable for cash, save where required under applicable law. In the event of suspension or termination of a User account as per the Terms, the Company reserves the right to suspend or cancel any Cover Notes linked to such account, subject to Applicable Law. 6.2 Validity
Unless otherwise expressly specified at the time of issuance, each Cover Note shall be valid for a period of 12 (twelve) months from the date of its issuance. Upon expiry, any unutilised balance shall lapse without further liability on the part of the Company. 6.3 Usage and Restrictions Cover Notes may be applied toward future bookings on the Platform across eligible Experience categories, unless restricted at the time of issuance. Redemption may be subject to blackout dates, limited availability and specific conditions communicated by the Host and applicable to the selected Experience. The Company facilitates issuance, tracking and redemption of Cover Notes but does not guarantee availability of any specific Experience at the time of redemption. 6.4 Issuance
The Company may, at its discretion, and if made available as per of its specific cancellation terms displayed at the time of Booking, choose to issue Cover Notes to the User, in lieu of monetary refunds, in cases where the specified Experience is cancelled by the Host fir any reason, including Force Majeure Events, if any. Issuance of Cover Notes by the Company shall be valid discharge of refund obligations. 6. NO SHOW POLICY
A User who believes that the Booking has been incorrectly classified as a No-Show may raise a complaint through the Platform within 24 (twenty-four) hours of the scheduled start time which shall be reviewed by the Company in consultation with the Host. Exceptions may be considered, at the Company’s sole discretion, in cases of medical emergencies, bereavement or other documented exigencies. 7. BOOKING MODIFICATIONS AND RESCHEDULING 7.1 Eligibility
The User may request modification or rescheduling of a confirmed booking including changes to dates, participant details or Experience variant subject to Host availability, the applicable cancellation plan tier and any category-specific conditions disclosed at the time of Booking. The Company does not guarantee that any modification request shall be accepted. 7.2 Process
All modification requests shall be made through the Platform or through such authorised support channels as the Company may designate and shall be processed in coordination with the Host. A booking shall be deemed modified only upon confirmation by the Host and the Platform. 7.3 Fees, Charges and Price Differences
Modifications may be subject to rescheduling fees, price differences between the original and revised booking and applicable taxes and charges, each of which shall be disclosed to the User prior to confirmation of the modification. Where the modified booking price is higher, the User must pay the differential amount and where the modified booking price is lower, the differential may be refunded to the User in accordance with this Refund Policy. 7.4 Failed Modification Requests Where a modification request is not permitted under the applicable plan tier or is not accepted by the Host, the Company may, at its discretion, treat the modification as a cancellation, in which case the cancellation and refund provisions of this Refund Policy shall apply. 8. FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS 8.1 Force Majeure A ‘Force Majeure Event’ shall have the meaning provided to it in the Terms. 8.2 Reschedule and Cover Note Priority
Where a Force Majeure Event occurs prior to commencement of the Experience, the User shall, as a first option, be offered rescheduling of the booking, if possible. Where rescheduling is not possible, the cancellation shall be processed in accordance with the cancellation plan applicable to the Booking. 8.3 Partial Delivery
Where a Booking is interrupted after commencement of the Experience due to a Force Majeure Event, the Booking shall be treated as partially delivered and the User may be eligible for a pro-rated refund for the undelivered portion at the Company’s reasonable discretion and permission of the Host, and the recoverability of costs, if any. 8.4 Limitation The Company does not guarantee refunds in all Force Majeure Events but shall act in good faith to facilitate fair outcomes for the User in accordance with the agreement with the Host. 9. DISQUALIFICATION DURING THE EXPERIENCE Where the User is removed from an Experience on account of misconduct, safety violations, illegal activity or non-compliance with the instructions of the Host, or disregard of applicable safety protocols or the Terms, the User shall not be entitled to any refund. 10. CHARGEBACKS 10.1 Pre-Chargeback Requirement Before initiating any chargeback with their bank, payment network or card issuer, the User shall first raise a complaint through the Platform’s grievance mechanism set out in this Refund Policy and as per the Terms. Initiation of unwarranted or improper chargebacks may result in suspension or termination of the User’s account, recovery actions and legal proceedings, in addition to any other rights and remedies of the Company under the Terms and applicable law. 10.2 Representment and Cooperation Where a chargeback is nonetheless initiated by the User with their issuing bank, the Company shall be entitled to represent (contest) the dispute through the payment service provider within the timelines stipulated by the relevant card network or banking partner (typically within 3 (three) business days of receipt of the chargeback notice by the Company). The User shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in such representment by providing accurate information and supporting documents to enable the Company to defend the dispute. The Company reserves the right to set-off any chargeback amount eventually borne by it against any future entitlements of the User on the Platform. 10.3 Dispute Lifecycle
The User acknowledges that disputes raised through their issuing bank may progress through standard banking-network stages including retrieval requests, chargebacks, pre-arbitration and arbitration in accordance with the rules of the relevant card network or banking partner and the standard processes of the payment service provider. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address such disputes but does not guarantee any particular outcome and the outcome of any such proceedings shall be binding on the User. 11.
