Cancellation/Refund Policy
Cooking class and event reservations are just like purchasing theater tickets. We make food purchases on your behalf in advance of the class regardless of your actual attendance. We also have limited space which makes it important for us to have an exact guest count since we often must turn away potential customers when classes fill. Because we are a 100% reservation-based business, we must adhere to a very specific policy regarding cancellation.
Please carefully review this policy below:
If you cancel up to 3 days (72 hours) prior to your class, a refund will be issued in the form of class credit only.
Within 72 hours prior to your class, we CANNOT ISSUE REFUNDS OR CREDIT under any circumstances as we have very limited space available and require advanced reservations for all classes.
In the event that we have a waiting list and can fill your space, we may issue a credit to you, but it is not a guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Don’t forget – you can always send someone in your place if you can’t make it, simply let us know and we will make an adjustment to your reservation.
We reserve the right to cancel any class, at any time, for any reason. We make every effort to give as much advance notice as possible in the rare event that we do have to cancel a class. Your payment will be refunded in full, or you may request credit or transfer of payment to another class.
If you are signed up for a series of classes, please note that no refunds will be given after the class has begun, regardless of circumstance because space is limited in these classes.
