Cancellation and Refunds

Effective Date: July 27, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cancellation and Refunds Policy explains how cancellations, changes, and refund requests are handled for tickets, passes, and other paid items purchased through Velora. Velora is operated in India by HIDDEN TALENT R&D PRIVATE LIMITED and in certain other regions by Dhaasu LLC.

Velora is a platform and intermediary. Most events and experiences are organized by independent third-party organizers (“Organizers”). As a result, many refund outcomes are governed by the Organizer’s policy and applicable law.

2. General Principle

Unless otherwise stated in this Policy, on the event page, or required by applicable law: all sales made through Velora are considered final.

The Organizer determines and administers event refund eligibility under the refund policy displayed for that event. Velora does not determine or control event refund eligibility and does not guarantee event refunds. This allocation does not limit rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

3. Organizer-Specific Policies

Each Organizer defines their own cancellation and refund rules. These rules must be shown on the event page or during checkout. When you purchase a ticket:

  • You agree to the Organizer’s refund and cancellation policy;

  • That policy will govern whether you are eligible for a refund;

  • Velora is not responsible for an Organizer’s failure to honor their stated policy, but may assist with dispute resolution at its discretion.

If an Organizer does not clearly publish a refund policy, contact the Organizer before purchasing. Velora does not create a default right to an event refund, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

4. Situations Where Refunds May Be Available

Where permitted by the Organizer’s policy or required by law, refunds may be available in the following situations:

  • Event cancelled: The event is fully cancelled by the Organizer before it begins.

  • Major change: Significant changes occur (for example, date, city, or venue change, or removal of the main advertised performer/activity) which you do not accept.

  • Duplicate payment: You are accidentally charged twice for the same ticket or order.

  • Payment captured but ticket not issued: A technical or processing error results in payment being taken but no valid ticket being delivered and the issue cannot be resolved in a reasonable time.

  • Payment processor error: The applicable payment processor confirms that a transaction must be reversed under its rules.

  • Legal or regulatory cancellation: The event is cancelled due to a government order, safety directive, or other legal requirement.

These situations do not make Velora the refund decision-maker. The Organizer must decide and instruct any event refund, unless a payment-provider reversal or applicable law requires a different result. Velora may then carry out the instruction where technically possible.

5. Non-Refundable Situations

Unless required by applicable law or the Organizer’s own policy, refunds will generally not be provided in the following situations:

  • You arrive late or are a “no-show” for the event;

  • You are denied entry due to violation of venue rules or safety policies;

  • You purchase tickets from unauthorized resale channels or third parties;

  • You voluntarily choose not to attend after purchase;

  • You are dissatisfied with subjective aspects of the event (for example, crowd size, music choice, weather, food options, etc.);

  • You incur travel, accommodation, or other ancillary costs (these are never refundable by Velora).

6. How to Request a Refund

If you believe you are eligible for a refund, you should first:

  • Review the event page and the Organizer’s published refund policy;

  • Contact the Organizer using the contact details provided in the event listing;

  • Where available, use in-app support or the help channels provided inside Velora to submit your request with your order ID and relevant screenshots.

You should make refund requests as soon as possible, and in any case within a reasonable time after the event date or the incident giving rise to the request. Velora and the Organizer may decline late or incomplete requests.

7. Role of Velora in Refunds

Velora is a technology intermediary, not the Organizer, and does not decide or guarantee event refunds. Velora's support role is limited to the following actions where applicable:

  • Help route or track your request with the Organizer;

  • Provide transaction confirmations and payment references;

  • Carry out a refund instruction received from the Organizer, a confirmed payment-provider reversal, or an action required by applicable law;

  • Restrict, suspend, or remove events or Organizers with repeated complaints or unresolved refund issues.

Administrative assistance by Velora does not make Velora the refund decision-maker or guarantor of the event.

8. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

If you dispute a charge directly with your bank, card network, or payment provider (for example, via a chargeback), the investigation process is governed by that provider’s rules.

While a dispute is pending, Velora may:

  • Temporarily hold related payouts to the Organizer;

  • Restrict tickets or access linked to the disputed transaction;

  • Limit future purchases by the disputing account if abuse is suspected.

Where a chargeback is decided in your favor, the refund amount, timelines, and currency are determined by your bank or payment provider, not by Velora.

9. Currency, Amounts, and Fees

Refunds, when approved, are generally processed in the same currency and to the same payment method used for the original transaction, subject to technical and regulatory constraints.

Any conversion differences, bank charges, or processing fees imposed by your bank, card issuer, or payment provider are outside Velora’s control and are not refundable by Velora.

10. Relationship to Other Terms

This Policy should be read together with:

  • The Platform Terms and Conditions of Velora;

  • The organizer responsibilities stated in the Platform Terms and Conditions;

  • Any event-specific terms and refund policies published by the Organizer.

In the event of a conflict, non-waivable consumer rights under applicable law will prevail.

11. Changes to This Policy

Velora may update this Cancellation and Refunds Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or operational practices. Material changes will be communicated via the Velora app, website, or email where appropriate.

Your continued use of Velora after an updated policy becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
