Refund & Cancellation Policy

Effective Date: August 31, 2026

This Refund and Cancellation Policy governs all purchases made through businessnetworking.events, including tier subscriptions, single-event tickets, directory upgrades, and host packages operated by Business Networking Events, LLC.

1. General Billing & Refund Policy

  • All Sales Final: Except as explicitly stated in this policy, all subscription fees, tier dues, event registration fees, and directory placement charges are strictly non-refundable.
  • No Partial Refunds: We do not offer prorated refunds for mid-cycle cancellations, unused event credits, or partial subscription periods.

2. Tier Subscriptions & Recurring Billing

  • Recurring Billing: Tier plans (e.g., Standard, Premium, or custom tiers) auto-renew automatically on a monthly or annual basis using the payment method on file via Stripe.
  • Cancellation Process: You may cancel your networking at any time prior to your next renewal date through your online account portal or by contacting us.
  • Timing of Cancellation: Cancellations must be completed at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled renewal date to avoid being billed for the next billing cycle. Once processed, your account will remain active until the end of your current billing period.

3. Event Tickets & Attendance

  • No-Show Policy: Missing a scheduled virtual or in-person event, arriving late, or failing to deliver your elevator pitch due to late entry does not entitle you to a refund, credit, or rescheduled slot.
  • Transferability: Single-event tickets or guest passes are non-transferable to other individuals unless authorized in writing by event management at least 24 hours prior to the event.

4. Event Rescheduling or Cancellation by the Company

  • Rescheduled Events: If we reschedule an event due to technical issues, speaker unavailability, severe weather, or unforeseen circumstances, your registration will automatically transfer to the rescheduled date.
  • Cancelled Events: If we cancel an event without providing a rescheduled date, active ticket holders will receive a full refund or account credit equal to the ticket purchase price.

5. Chargebacks & Payment Disputes

If you initiate an unauthorized chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or credit card provider without contacting support first, we reserve the right to immediately suspend your Networker account, remove your directory listing, and bar you from attending future events.
