Playvera Refund & Cancellation Policy

Version 1.0 · Jurisdiction: England and Wales

Platform: Playvera

Operator: Playvera Technologies Limited

This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains how cancellations and refund requests are handled for bookings made through Playvera.

Playvera acts solely as a booking platform and payment facilitator. All activity delivery, session attendance, and final refund decisions remain the responsibility of the activity provider / club, subject to the minimum standards below.

1. Our Role

Playvera is the booking platform and intermediary between:

  • parents / guardians
  • clubs / activity providers
  • schools / organisations

Playvera does not directly deliver activities and therefore does not independently authorise refunds unless required by law or payment provider processes.

Refund decisions are made by the club unless otherwise stated.

2. Cancelling a Booking

Parents and guardians may cancel a booking through the Playvera platform.

A cancellation does not automatically create a refund.

Cancellation simply notifies the club that the child will no longer attend the booked session.

3. Refund Requests

If a parent wishes to request a refund, the request must be made to the activity provider.

The provider remains responsible for approving or declining the refund.

Playvera provides the booking and payment system only.

4. Minimum Refund Guidelines

Playvera requires all clubs using the platform to follow the minimum refund standard below.

Refund window

Refund requests must be made at least 24 hours before the start time of the session. Requests made less than 24 hours before the session may be declined.

Examples of late requests include:

  • 18 hours before
  • 12 hours before
  • 6 hours before

These will normally fall outside the refund window.

5. Recommended Club Policy

While clubs may set their own policies, Playvera strongly recommends a 48-hour cancellation and refund policy.

This is considered best practice for:

  • coaching sessions
  • holiday camps
  • school clubs
  • activity blocks

Where a club sets a longer notice period, this must be clearly displayed on their club profile and session listing.

6. Club Cancellations

Where a club cancels a session, parents should normally receive:

  • a full refund, or
  • a credit / rebooking option

This remains the responsibility of the club.

Playvera may assist in resolving disputes where necessary.

7. Payment Failures / Stripe Issues

All payments are processed through Stripe.

Occasionally payments may fail, remain pending, or be delayed. Where this happens, users should contact: finance@playvera.co.uk

We ask users to remain patient while Stripe payment statuses update. Playvera is not liable for temporary third-party payment delays.

8. Club Payout Issues

Clubs experiencing issues with:

  • payouts
  • pending transactions
  • missing funds
  • refund processing

must contact: finance@playvera.co.uk

We will investigate with Stripe as soon as reasonably possible.

9. Disputes

Where a parent and club disagree regarding a refund, Playvera may review the booking history and communication logs.

However, the final decision will usually remain with the club unless legal or payment provider rules require otherwise.

10. Governing Law

This policy is governed by the laws of England and Wales.
