Refund Policy

Last Updated: June 10, 2024

1. Introduction

At Aura Skypool Dubai, we aim to provide exceptional infinity pool experiences. We understand that plans can change, which is why we have established this Refund Policy to outline how cancellations, modifications, and refunds are handled.

This Refund Policy applies to all bookings made through our website auraskypooldubai.com, by phone, or by email.

2. Standard Cancellation Policy

Our standard cancellation policy is as follows:

Time of Cancellation Refund Amount
48 hours or more before scheduled experience 100% refund
24-48 hours before scheduled experience 50% refund
Less than 24 hours before scheduled experience No refund
No-show No refund

Please note that the time of cancellation is determined based on the local time in Dubai (Gulf Standard Time, GST).

3. Premium & VIP Experience Cancellation Policy

For Premium and VIP experiences, including but not limited to the "VIP Cabana Pool Experience," the following cancellation policy applies:

Time of Cancellation Refund Amount
72 hours or more before scheduled experience 100% refund
48-72 hours before scheduled experience 75% refund
24-48 hours before scheduled experience 25% refund
Less than 24 hours before scheduled experience No refund
No-show No refund

Due to the exclusive nature of our Premium and VIP experiences and the limited availability, we maintain a stricter cancellation policy to ensure fair access to all guests.

4. Group Bookings & Special Events

For group bookings (5 or more people) and special events, the following cancellation policy applies:

Time of Cancellation Refund Amount
7 days or more before scheduled experience 100% refund
3-7 days before scheduled experience 50% refund
Less than 3 days before scheduled experience No refund
No-show No refund

For customized group events and private bookings, specific cancellation terms will be provided at the time of booking.

5. Weather and Force Majeure

5.1 Weather Conditions

In the event of adverse weather conditions that may affect the safety or enjoyment of the experience (such as thunderstorms, strong winds, or other unsafe conditions), we reserve the right to reschedule your booking or offer an alternative experience.

If we cancel your booking due to adverse weather conditions, you will be offered one of the following options:

  • Reschedule your experience for another date (subject to availability)
  • Receive a full refund
  • Receive a credit for future use valid for 6 months

5.2 Force Majeure

In the event of cancellation due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control (Force Majeure), including but not limited to acts of God, governmental actions, war, national emergency, acts of terrorism, protests, riot, civil commotion, fire, explosion, flood, epidemic, pandemic, lock-outs, strikes or other labor disputes, we will offer you the option to:

  • Reschedule your experience for another date (subject to availability)
  • Receive a full refund
  • Receive a credit for future use valid for 12 months

6. Cancellation Process

6.1 How to Cancel a Booking

To cancel a booking, you must notify us through one of the following methods:

  • Email: [email protected] (please include your booking reference number)
  • Phone: +447116902807 during our operating hours (9:00 AM - 6:00 PM GST, 7 days a week)
  • Through your account on our website if you made the booking while logged in

Cancellations are not considered valid until you receive a confirmation from us. If you do not receive a confirmation within 24 hours, please contact us to ensure your cancellation request has been received.

6.2 Cancellation Confirmation

Upon receiving your cancellation request, we will send you an email confirming the cancellation and providing information about any applicable refund.

7. Refund Process

7.1 Refund Method

Refunds will be processed using the same payment method used for the original purchase. For example, if you paid by credit card, the refund will be credited back to the same credit card.

7.2 Refund Timing

We will process refunds within 5-7 business days from the date of cancellation confirmation. However, depending on your payment provider, it may take an additional 3-10 business days for the refund to appear in your account.

7.3 Refund Confirmation

Once a refund has been processed, we will send you an email confirmation with the refund details.

7.4 Partial Refunds

In cases where only a partial refund is applicable (based on the cancellation timeframe), the refund amount will be calculated based on the percentages outlined in sections 2, 3, and 4 of this policy.

8. Modifications to Bookings

8.1 Rescheduling

If you need to reschedule your experience, the following conditions apply:

  • Rescheduling requests made 48 hours or more before the scheduled time can be accommodated at no additional charge, subject to availability.
  • Rescheduling requests made 24-48 hours before the scheduled time will incur a 10% rescheduling fee.
  • Rescheduling requests made less than 24 hours before the scheduled time will be treated as a cancellation and rebooking, subject to our standard cancellation policy.

8.2 Changes to Guest Numbers

If you need to reduce the number of guests in your booking:

  • Changes made 48 hours or more before the scheduled time: Full refund for the reduced number of guests.
  • Changes made 24-48 hours before the scheduled time: 50% refund for the reduced number of guests.
  • Changes made less than 24 hours before the scheduled time: No refund for the reduced number of guests.

If you need to increase the number of guests in your booking, this is subject to availability and must be confirmed with us in advance.

8.3 Upgrades or Changes to Experience Type

If you wish to upgrade your experience or change to a different type of experience, this will be treated as a modification rather than a cancellation, provided the date remains the same. You will only be charged the difference in price if applicable.

9. Non-Refundable Items

The following items are non-refundable under any circumstances:

  • Additional services or add-ons that have been specifically arranged for your booking and communicated as non-refundable at the time of purchase.
  • Third-party services booked through us but provided by external partners (unless the third-party provider's own refund policy allows for a refund).

10. Exceptions and Special Circumstances

We understand that special circumstances may arise that are beyond your control. In cases of serious illness, bereavement, or other exceptional situations, we may offer more flexible refund terms at our discretion. Supporting documentation may be required.

Please contact our customer service team as soon as possible if you need to cancel due to special circumstances.
