Payments and refunds policy

Payments

Your order will not be confirmed (event places not secured, membership not confirmed, etc) until we have received your payment.

Refunds

The Society appreciates that at times it is necessary to cancel bookings to events and to request refunds. However, the SCL will have incurred a cost as a direct result of a booking being made.

  • If you cancel 6 months or over, we will deduct 10% of the full price before issuing a refund.
  • If you cancel between 3 months and 6 months, we will deduct 25% of the full price before issuing a refund.
  • If you cancel between 1 month and 3 months, we will deduct 50% of the full price before issuing a refund.
  • If you cancel between 10 days and 1 month, we will deduct 80% of the full price before issuing a refund.
  • If you cancel within 10 days of the event no refund will be issued.
  • However, if it is possible to sell the place/s then the Society will make a full refund less an administrative fee of €20 per place.
