REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY

This policy covers refunds for tournament registrations processed through the LaxID platform via Stripe, as well as LaxID platform subscriptions.

Effective Date: March 2026 · Last Updated: March 2026

Registration Refund Windows

  • Full Refund (100%): Cancellation within 72 hours of registration, provided the event is more than 14 days away.
  • Partial Refund (50%): Cancellation between 72 hours and 14 days before the event start date.
  • No Refund: Cancellation within 14 days of the event, or after the event has started — unless the event is cancelled by the Tournament Director.
  • Processing fees charged by Stripe (typically 2.9% + $0.30) are non-refundable in all cases, as they are charged by the payment processor at the time of the original transaction.

Event Cancellation by Director

  • If a Tournament Director cancels an event, all registered teams are entitled to a full refund minus processing fees.
  • LaxID will facilitate refunds through Stripe on behalf of the Tournament Director. Refunds are typically processed within 5–10 business days.
  • If a Tournament Director restructures an event (reduces teams, changes format), registered teams may request a refund under the standard refund windows above.
  • LaxID is not the merchant of record — the Tournament Director is. LaxID facilitates the payment infrastructure but does not hold funds.

Force Majeure

  • Force Majeure events include: severe weather, natural disasters, government-imposed restrictions, pandemics, facility closures, or other events beyond reasonable control.
  • If an event is cancelled due to Force Majeure, the Tournament Director will determine the refund amount. LaxID recommends full refunds minus processing fees.
  • Partial events: If an event is partially completed (e.g., pool play completed but bracket play cancelled), refund amounts are at the Tournament Director's discretion.
  • LaxID will assist Tournament Directors in communicating cancellation and refund information to all affected registrants.

Platform Subscription Refunds

  • Pro Plan ($49/month): Cancel anytime. No refund for the current billing period; service continues until the end of the paid period.
  • Enterprise Plan: Governed by the individual service agreement. Contact your account manager for cancellation terms.
  • Free Plan: No charges, no refund applicable.
  • If you believe you were charged in error, contact support@laxid.app within 30 days of the charge.

How to Request a Refund

  • Contact the Tournament Director directly through the LaxID platform. The Tournament Director is the first point of contact for event-related refunds.
  • If you cannot resolve the issue with the Tournament Director, contact LaxID at support@laxid.app with your registration ID, event name, and reason for refund.
  • LaxID will review disputed refund requests within 5 business days and mediate between the registrant and Tournament Director.
  • For disputes that cannot be resolved, you may file a dispute with Stripe or your credit card issuer.

Important Notices

  • LaxID reserves the right to modify this refund policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
  • Tournament Directors may establish additional refund terms specific to their events, provided they do not contradict this policy.
  • Chargebacks filed without first attempting resolution through LaxID may result in account suspension pending review.
  • This policy applies only to payments processed through the LaxID platform via Stripe. Payments made outside the platform (cash, Venmo, etc.) are not covered.
