9. Cancellation & Refund Policy
At Top Captures, we understand that plans can change, and circumstances may arise that necessitate the cancellation of a booked service. However, to ensure fairness to all our clients and manage our scheduling efficiently, we have instituted the following cancellation policy:
Notification Window:
Clients are encouraged to notify Top Captures of any cancellation at least 24 hours before the scheduled service time. This allows us to allocate the slot to another client and make necessary adjustments.
Refunds:
Please be advised that by clicking on “Cancel My Reservation” below, you have read and agreed to the Top Captures cancellation and refund policy:
- Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the scheduled service time will be eligible for a full refund.
- Cancellations made within 12 to 24 hours of the service time will incur a 50% service fee, with the remainder refunded to the client.
- Cancellations made less than 12 hours before the service time will not be eligible for a refund due to the short notice and potential disruption to our scheduling.
Rescheduling:
If a client wishes to reschedule instead of canceling, they must notify Top Captures at least 12 hours before the service time. Rescheduling is subject to availability, and while we will do our utmost to accommodate, we cannot guarantee the preferred new time slot.
No-Shows:
If a client does not show up for a scheduled appointment without prior notification, this will be treated as a cancellation with less than 12 hours notice, and no refunds will be provided.
Top Captures’ Right to Cancel:
On rare occasions, due to unforeseen circumstances or emergencies, Top Captures may need to cancel a booked service. In such cases, clients will be notified as soon as possible, and a full refund will be provided. Alternatively, if the client agrees, the service can be rescheduled to a later date.
Force Majeure:
Neither party will be liable for any failure in performance due to causes beyond that party’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, riot, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, or strikes. In the event of such a delay, the date of delivery or performance will be extended by a period equal to the time lost because of the delay.
