Payments, refunds and cancellations policy

To book a Service or a Package, the Client must pay for it by the means of electronic payments provided by the Platform. The Customer must provide valid payment information. This information will be securely stored by iBride’s Payments Provider regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.

On the day of the booking, the Customer will be charged 50% of the total price of their package.

The booking can then be canceled by the Customer within the next 14 calendar days of the booking date. When canceled, the booking fee will be fully refunded to the Customer via the same means that has been used for the booking.

If not canceled within 14 days, the booking becomes non-refundable.

60 calendar days prior the Wedding Date, using the stored payment information, the Platform will attempt to automatically charge the Customer for the remaining 50% of the total price of their package. If unsuccessful, the Platform will notify the Client and will keep attempting until 30 days prior the Wedding Date.

It is client's responsibility to ensure the second half of the payment is made. If the second 50% charge has not been successful by the 30th day prior the Wedding Date, the booking will be deemed canceled, the Services booked shall not be provided by the Vendor and no refund shall be issued.

If the booking is made later than 60 calendar days before the Wedding Date, the booking will immediately be considered non-refundable and the initial payment will equal to 100% of the total Package price agreed between the Vendor and the Client.

The second payment is non-refundable immediately after the charge has been made.

The payment is made in the currency set by the package vendor. Due to currency exchange rates set by your bank, the amount taken from your card may vary.
