V. Cancellation Policy

A. Client Cancellation

If the Client needs to cancel the booking, they must adhere to the following procedures:

Notification: The Client must provide written notice of cancellation to the Provider. This notice should be sent via email or another agreed-upon method. The Client should ensure that the cancellation notice includes the booking reference number, the date and time of the booking, and the reason for cancellation.
Refund Policy: If the Client cancels the booking at least [48] hours in advance, they will receive a [50]% refund of the booking fee. This policy is in place to compensate the Provider for the potential loss of other bookings due to the reserved slot. If the cancellation occurs less than [48] hours before the booking, the fee is non-refundable due to the short notice and the unlikelihood of filling the slot with another booking.
Rescheduling: If the Client wishes to reschedule the booking rather than cancel, they should contact the Provider as soon as possible to discuss available options. The Provider will make every effort to accommodate the Client’s new schedule, but this will be subject to the availability of the meeting room.

B. Provider Cancellation

In the rare event that the Provider needs to cancel the booking, the following procedures will be followed:

Notification: The Provider will provide the Client with as much notice as possible of the cancellation. The Provider recognizes the inconvenience that a cancellation can cause and will therefore strive to provide timely information to allow the Client to make alternative arrangements.
Refund Policy: The Client will receive a full refund of the booking fee in the event of a cancellation by the Provider. This policy is in place to ensure that the Client is not financially disadvantaged by a cancellation that is beyond their control.
Rescheduling: The Provider will work with the Client to reschedule the booking to a mutually convenient time, if desired. The Provider recognizes the importance of the Client’s meetings and will make every effort to provide an alternative booking that meets the Client’s needs.

VI. Damages and Insurance

A. Damages

The Client will be held responsible for any damages or losses that occur during their use of the meeting room. This includes:

Assessment of Damages: After each booking, the meeting room will be inspected for damages. Any damages found will be documented and the Client will be notified.

Repair Costs: The Client will be billed for the cost of any necessary repairs. This bill will include the cost of materials and labor, and must be paid within 30 days. The Provider will provide a detailed invoice for the repairs to ensure transparency.

B. Insurance

The Client is encouraged to have appropriate insurance coverage for their event. This includes:

Liability Insurance: This covers the Client in the event of any claims for bodily injury or property damage arising out of the event. The Client should ensure that their liability insurance policy is sufficient to cover the potential costs of any such claims.
