Can I cancel or change a booking?
This article has the highest concentration of conflicts with yesterday’s decisions. Let me list them all before the rewrite:
- 24-hour cooling-off period — dropped entirely yesterday. Still appears here.
- Credit/coupon remedy — replaced with cash refund yesterday. Still appears here.
- “12%” hardcoded in the article — wrong for subscription vendors, wrong as a label.
- “Before the deposit” / “after the deposit” structure — meaningless for subscription vendors who never pay through Celavivo.
- Dual-model entirely absent — the whole article describes only the commission flow.
Here’s the rewritten article:
Changing or Cancelling a Booking
What happens depends on when the request is made, who initiates it, and which vendor plan applies. Always check your signed contract and Celavivo’s Refunds & Cancellations Policy.
🔁 Changing a booking before payment or contract
Before any payment is made or contract signed, you can:
- Message the vendor through Celavivo to clarify or adjust details
- Agree changes to services, packages, or event details
No payment is involved at this stage and no formal process is required.
🔁 Changing a booking after a contract exists
Once a contract has been signed by both parties:
- Changes should be requested as early as possible
- A new contract may be required depending on the nature of the change
- Contact Celavivo Support to assist with the process
To avoid complications, agree all terms before signing the contract.
❌ Cancelling a booking — commission-based vendors
For bookings where a booking fee was paid through Celavivo:
Customer-initiated cancellation:
- The booking fee is non-refundable
- The remaining balance, if any, is governed by the vendor’s cancellation policy as stated in your signed contract
Vendor-initiated cancellation:
- Celavivo will first attempt to offer a suitable replacement vendor for the same date and service
- If you accept a replacement, your booking fee is transferred and no new fee is charged
- If no suitable replacement is available or you decline all reasonable alternatives, you are entitled to a full cash refund of the booking fee to your original payment method
❌ Cancelling a booking — subscription-based vendors
For bookings where no payment was made through Celavivo:
- Celavivo has no payment to refund
- Cancellation terms, including any deposit paid directly to the vendor, are governed entirely by the vendor’s cancellation policy as stated in your signed contract
- Contact the vendor directly in the first instance, keeping all communication within Celavivo where possible
Important to know
- Always review your digital contract before cancelling or requesting changes
- Keep all communication within Celavivo so Support can assist if needed
- Using cancellations to arrange off-platform payments is not permitted
