The Terms of Purchase are between you, the purchaser and the purchaser’s guests (together “you” or “the Participant”) and Bel Air Family Center (“us”, “we”, or “our”). In consideration of the consent of Bel Air Family Center to provide you with services, you voluntarily agree to the following terms and conditions of purchase. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not purchase a ticket.

Refunds and Cancellation

Due to the nature of the events, no refunds or credits will be given if the Participant is unable to attend. However, tickets can be transferred to someone else. Please contact us at admin@belairfamilycenter.org with the new guest’s information at least 24 hours prior to the event, or inform the guests using your reservation to give your name upon arrival.

In the case of an event being postponed due to circumstances beyond Bel Air Family Center’s control, Bel Air Family Center will reschedule said event, and all purchases will be honored for the rescheduled future event date. No monetary refunds will be issued. If a guest is unable to attend the rescheduled event, Bel Air Family Center will issue a credit for the original purchase amount, for the guest to use toward another Bel Air Family Center event of their choice.

Please note that in the event a refund is issued, Bel Air Family Center retains a 10% processing fee, which will be deducted from the refund amount.
