Refund Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

All purchases on TeaCat are final. By completing a purchase, you agree to this policy. Event tickets are the only purchase type eligible for a refund, and only under the conditions described below. All other paid features — including Event Boosts, Host Pro subscriptions, and any future paid services — are non-refundable.

TeaCat Buyer Fee

The $2 TeaCat buyer fee is non-refundable under all circumstances. This fee covers platform infrastructure and is collected at time of purchase.

Event Cancellations by Host

If a host cancels an event, buyers are eligible for a refund of the base ticket price only (the amount paid minus the $2 TeaCat fee). Refunds are issued to the original payment method via Stripe and may take 5–10 business days to appear.

No Other Refunds

Refunds are not issued for any reason other than host-initiated event cancellation. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Change of plans or personal schedule conflicts
  • Weather conditions
  • Dissatisfaction with the event
  • Reduced attendance or atmosphere
  • Any circumstance outside of a formal host cancellation

As long as an event proceeds as listed and is safe to attend, no refund will be issued regardless of external conditions.

Event Boosts

Boost purchases are non-refundable once purchased, regardless of how much boost time remains, how the boosted event performs, or whether the event is later edited, unpublished, or cancelled. A boost is a promotional placement service that begins immediately upon payment and is considered fully delivered at the moment of activation.

Host Pro Subscriptions

Host Pro subscription payments are non-refundable, including partial months or unused time. You may cancel your subscription at any time; cancellation stops future billing cycles, and your Pro features remain active through the end of the billing period you have already paid for. No prorated or partial-month refunds are issued.

How to Request a Refund

If a host has cancelled an event and you have not received an automatic refund within 10 business days, contact us at teacatnyc@gmail.com with your order details.
