In Qondor, products are non-refundable if Project managers do not set refund rules on the product. Project managers might not set refund rules because the product is in fact non-refundable and is not expected to be changed. However, in some cases an exception may need to be made.
1. Scenarios where non-refundable lines may appear
SCENARIOS WHERE NON-REFUNDABLE LINES MAY APPEAR
You might have bookings where products have been paid for, but due to a change in the booking you need to refund a participant. In other cases, the booking may not have been prepaid, (if payment has been delayed) but you will still need to correct the balance in Qondor. Common scenarios you may find yourself in:
The participant may no longer be able to attend for example, a particular activity and needs to remove the product from their booking, but they have already paid and there are no refund rules set.
The participant may want to cancel a trip and book another instead, but again the trip is non-refundable and there is an outstanding balance.
In another case, where refund rules are set, the booker has paid and may have missed the deadline for refunds.
The whole booking needs to be cancelled and the non-refundable products refunded in full.
You might offer the participant a full refund as an exception given their circumstances or for other reasons. If a booking is cancelled, or a product is removed from a booking and does not have an eligible refund rule set up, Qondor will label this product as non-refundable. In this case, Qondor will not do anything and only the Project manager has the right to remove the non-refundable line from the booking and correct the balance.
