Overview

At Prestige Corporate Events, we understand that plans can change. This Refund Policy outlines our cancellation and refund procedures for event hospitality bookings made through our platform.

Please read this policy carefully before making a booking, as refund eligibility and conditions vary depending on the event, supplier, and timing of your cancellation.

Important Notice

Prestige Corporate Events operates as a marketplace platform. While we facilitate bookings, the actual hospitality packages are provided by independent suppliers. Each supplier may have their own specific cancellation and refund terms.

Supplier-specific terms will be clearly displayed before you confirm your booking. Always review these terms carefully, as they take precedence over this general policy.

General Cancellation Terms

Standard Cancellation Window

Unless otherwise specified by the supplier, the following general cancellation windows apply:

More than 60 days before event

Full refund - Minus service fees and any non-refundable deposits

30-60 days before event

50% refund - Partial refund minus service fees

Less than 30 days before event

No refund - Cancellations within 30 days are generally non-refundable

Note: These are general guidelines. Actual refund terms for your specific booking will be clearly displayed during checkout and in your booking confirmation email.

Service Fees

Prestige Corporate Events charges a service fee for facilitating bookings between buyers and suppliers. This fee covers:

  • Platform maintenance and operation
  • Supplier vetting and verification
  • Customer support services
  • Secure payment processing

Service fees are non-refundable, even if you cancel your booking within the eligible refund window. The service fee will be clearly itemized in your booking confirmation.
