Guests shall qualify for a full refund of the Host’s Charges if (a) the Guest notifies Clandestino Kitchen and the Host of cancellation during usual business hours in London (being 9am to 5pm on weekdays other than public holidays) before the cancellation deadline of the relevant Hosted Event, or (b) if the Host cancels the Hosted Event for any reason.

8.2 We hope all Guests enjoy every Hosted Event, however sometimes things go wrong and if a Guest believes that the Host failed to fulfil an essential obligation of the Hosted Event then the Guest may until midnight on the day following the date on which the relevant Hosted Event was scheduled to take place request that the whole or a part of the payment is refunded by using the claim form on the page summarizing the reservation or by sending an email to support@Clandestino.Kitchen specifying the Hosted Event reference, identifying the Host, specifying the amount of the Transaction Fees, saying how much the Guest wishes to be reimbursed and giving as much information as possible in relation to the problem/ relevant failures/ reasons for believing that payment should be refunded.

The notification should include all relevant details and include such information and evidence as is available to you to substantiate the claim. By sending the email you agree to provide us with all further information that is reasonably available to you which we request in relation to the claim, including any medical or travel details and expenses, details of any other insurance available to you and any proposed or agreed resolution of any of the circumstances relating to the claim with any third party.

8.6 Following receipt of a refund request Clandestino Kitchen may direct that an amount up to the entire value of the Transaction Fees paid by the Guest (less payment transaction costs and any third-party agency fees that Clandestino Kitchen is not entitled to recover) is refunded to the Guest.If, however, Clandestino Kitchen believes that the complaint is without merit, of limited merit or that Clandestino Kitchen is not able to assess the merit of the complaint, then Clandestino Kitchen may direct that the whole or any part of the Transaction Fees are paid to the Host and/ or that the balance (if any) is withheld pending resolution of the dispute between the relevant Host and the Guest.If no such resolution has been reached within six months, Clandestino Kitchen may direct that 50% of the disputed element of the Host’s Charges is paid to the Host and that 50% of the disputed element of the Host’s Charges is paid to the Guest (and the Clandestino Kitchen Fees shall be paid to Clandestino Kitchen) or may make such other arrangements as then appear appropriate to it (which may include making payment as directed by a Court of competent jurisdiction).Clandestino Kitchen shall have no further or other liability or responsibility to the Host and Guest in respect of any such claim to be refunded.You agree to abide by decisions made by Clandestino Kitchen (even if the decision appears perverse to you).

8.7 Clandestino Kitchen agrees to use reasonable endeavours to assess merits of claims and to act in good faith toward Guests and Hosts, however you agree that it has no responsibility or liability to you for any assessment it makes in relation to the merits of any claim between Guests and Hosts or any direction it gives as to the payments to be made to Guests or Hosts in accordance with this clause 8 and you also agree that Clandestino Kitchen may make or decline refunds and payments pursuant to these T&Cs and that if and to the extent it does so it shall have no further liability or obligation to you or the Host or Guest.
