RETURN & REFUND POLICY

Last updated: October 01, 2026

Thank you for supporting Vision 21 Cyfle Cymru. We hope you are delighted with your purchase or event booking. However, if you are not completely satisfied, we are here to help in accordance with UK Consumer Law and our ticketing terms.

1. CANCELLATION & RETURN WINDOWS (PHYSICAL MERCHANDISE)

Under UK Consumer Contracts Regulations, you have the right to cancel your order and return physical goods purchased online (including via embedded checkout forms on our website or external platforms).

* Notice Period: You must inform us of your decision to return an item within 14 days of receiving your order.
* Return Period: Once notified, you have an additional 14 days to return the item to us (postmarked within 28 days of initial delivery).
* Condition: All returned items must be in new, unused, and resalable condition, with all original packaging, tags, and labels attached.

2. EVENT TICKETING & DIRECT DEBIT POLICY

A. Event & Workshop Tickets (Zeffy & Eventbrite):
* Within 24 Hours of Event: Tickets purchased via Eventbrite or embedded Zeffy booking forms are strictly non-refundable and non-exchangeable within 24 hours of the scheduled event start time.
* 2 to 5 Days Before Event: Tickets are not eligible for a cash refund, but may be exchanged for a future event or transferred to another ticket holder.
* More Than 5 Days Before Event: Full refunds of the ticket price are available for cancellations requested more than 5 days prior to the event.
Note: Eventbrite non-refundable booking fees are governed by Eventbrite’s platform terms and may be retained unless the event is cancelled by Vision 21.

B. Direct Debits & Subscriptions (GoCardless):
