Are ActivityHero fees refundable?

ActivityHero's registration fee (or marketing fee, if applicable) are not refundable. These fees are for registration tools and/or advertising of your program and have been incurred at the time of registration.

In order to issue refunds, you are required to have a credit card on file. We will charge that credit card for the amount of the non-refundable fees.

If you issue a FULL refund to the customer, the 3.19% credit card fee (excluding the fixed portion of 49 cents) is refundable and you are charged only the registration fee (or marketing fee, if applicable).

When issuing a PARTIAL refund, ALL fees are non-refundable. If the amount you did not refund covers ActivityHero fees, the credit card on file will not be charged. If it does NOT cover the fee amount, the balance owed will be charged to the card on file.

For example, a parent canceled their $100 registration. The original registration had a marketing fee of $15 and a credit card fee of $3.68. You charge a $10 cancellation fee and refunded the parent $90. Since the remaining $10 does not cover the $18.68 in marketing and credit card fees the credit card on file will be charged $8.685.

If you have a credit card on file, you will see this message when issuing refunds.

If you do NOT have a credit card on file, you will see the message below.

You can also add a credit card to your listing by going to your Dashboard/Manage Listing/Billing
