Events Payments And Refunds
New Amsterdam Ventures, LLC processes payments for events through PayPal. Any payments you make to register for events will be made through PayPal. PayPal has its own terms and conditions for usage, which can be viewed by visiting www.paypal.com.
All purchases you make are final, except as noted.
Although we appreciate being notified if you cannot attend an event, especially where events are sold-out and people might be wait-listed, no partial or full refund will be given for any unused ticket for any of our scheduled events. Only if an event is cancelled by the Company will you receive a refund of your ticket price. Cancellations are infrequent, but when they occur, we will notify you, if you have already registered, of the cancellation by email, using the email address you provide when you register for an event. Refunds, in the event of cancellation, will be typically requested by the Company from PayPal within seven (7) to ten (10) business days of the notice of cancellation. PayPal, based on its policies and the method of payment you chose, will determine the actual amount of time required to issue the refund and the manner in which the refund will be issued.
Surcharges, if any, charged by PayPal will not be refunded to you, unless PayPal's policy so permits. Visit www.paypal.com for information on PayPal's refund policies.
No refunds will be given if, for any reason, you violate the terms of service as outlined at Terms and Conditions.
