Refund Policy
Last updated: February 2025
1. Overview
This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions for refunds on tickets purchased through the Delvent platform. Refund eligibility depends on the type of event, the organiser's refund settings, and the timing of the refund request.
2. Refund Eligibility
2.1 Free Events
Tickets for free events can be cancelled at any time before the event starts. No refund is necessary as no payment was made.
2.2 Paid Events
Refunds for paid events are subject to:
- The refund policy set by the event organiser
- The time remaining before the event starts
- Whether the event has been cancelled or significantly modified
2.3 Organiser-Defined Policies
Event organisers may set their own refund policies, which can include:
- Full refund - Complete refund of the ticket price
- Partial refund - Percentage-based refund
- No refunds - Non-refundable tickets
- Refund deadline - A cutoff date after which refunds are not available
The applicable refund policy is displayed during checkout before you complete your purchase.
