Pilot legal draft: Lucas must verify the trader details and approve this text with an Irish legal adviser before public launch.

Cancellation and refund policy

Cooling-off period

For a distance service contract, consumers generally have 14 days from the contract date to cancel without giving a reason. The €10 booking fee is refundable before service performance begins. Statutory exceptions and deductions apply only where Irish law permits them.

Starting within 14 days

If a requested date falls within the cooling-off period, checkout records the customer’s express request to begin early and acknowledgement that the right to cancel can change after the service has been fully performed. Lucas must still confirm the appointment.

How to cancel

Use “Request cancellation” in the booking detail page or send an unambiguous cancellation statement to the verified customer-service contact that will be published before launch. Approved €10 refunds are sent to the original Stripe payment method.
