1. Introduction

At Dubai Skyline Experiences, we strive to provide exceptional experiences that exceed your expectations. We understand that plans can change, and this Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions for refunds and cancellations for bookings made through our website or customer service channels.

This Refund Policy is subject to and forms part of our Terms and Conditions. By making a booking with Dubai Skyline Experiences, you agree to comply with this Refund Policy.

2. Standard Cancellation and Refund Terms

Cancellation Timeframes

Our standard cancellation and refund terms are as follows:

  • Cancellation less than 24 hours before the scheduled experience: No refund

Service Fee

The 5% service fee applied to all bookings is non-refundable in all circumstances, as this covers our operational and processing costs.

3. Experience-Specific Cancellation Policies

Some of our premium or exclusive experiences may have specific cancellation policies that differ from our standard terms. These specific policies will be clearly communicated during the booking process and in your booking confirmation email. Experience-specific policies take precedence over the standard terms when applicable.

  • Cancellation between 72 and 24 hours before the scheduled experience: 50% refund (excluding the service fee)

Group Bookings

For group bookings (5 or more people), the following terms apply:

  • Cancellation more than 7 days before the scheduled experience: Full refund (excluding the service fee)
  • Cancellation between 7 and 3 days before the scheduled experience: 50% refund (excluding the service fee)

4. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, please follow these steps:

  1. Log into your Dubai Skyline Experiences account (if applicable)
  2. Navigate to your booking history
  3. Select the booking you wish to cancel
  4. Click on the "Cancel Booking" button

When contacting customer service, please provide your booking reference number, the date of your experience, and the reason for cancellation.

5. Refund Processing

Refund Method

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

Refund Timeline

Once approved, refunds are processed within 5-10 business days. However, depending on your payment provider or financial institution, it may take an additional 5-10 business days for the refund to appear in your account.

6. Special Circumstances

Weather Conditions

For outdoor experiences that are weather-dependent (such as rooftop pools), if the venue partner cancels the experience due to adverse weather conditions, you will be offered:

  • A rescheduling option for a future date (subject to availability), or
  • A full refund, including the service fee

Venue Closures

If your experience is canceled due to unexpected venue closure, technical issues, or other factors beyond our control, you will be offered:

  • A rescheduling option for a future date (subject to availability), or
  • A full refund, including the service fee

Medical Emergencies

In case of a medical emergency that prevents you from attending your booked experience, we may offer a more flexible refund or rescheduling option at our discretion. Valid documentation (such as a medical certificate) may be required. Please contact our customer service team as soon as possible in such cases.

7. Non-Refundable Circumstances

Refunds will not be issued in the following circumstances:

  • No-shows (failure to attend your booked experience without prior notification)
  • Arriving at the venue after the scheduled start time, resulting in denied entry
  • Failure to comply with venue requirements (such as dress code or age restrictions) resulting in denied entry
  • Behavior that violates the venue's policies, resulting in removal from the premises
  • Personal dissatisfaction with the experience that does not constitute a material breach of our service description

8. Rescheduling Policy

As an alternative to cancellation, we offer the option to reschedule your experience subject to the following conditions:

  • Rescheduling requests must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled experience
  • Rescheduling is subject to availability
  • For standard experiences, the first rescheduling is complimentary
  • Subsequent rescheduling requests may incur a fee of $20 per booking
  • For premium experiences and group bookings, specific rescheduling terms may apply

To reschedule your experience, please contact our customer service team with your booking details and preferred new date.

9. Gift Certificates and Promotional Offers

Gift Certificates

Gift certificates are non-refundable but can be transferred to another person. Gift certificates have an expiry date as specified at the time of purchase, typically 12 months from the date of issue.

Promotional Offers and Discounts

Experiences purchased using promotional codes or special discounts may have different refund terms, which will be specified in the terms of the promotion. In many cases, heavily discounted or promotional bookings may be non-refundable.

10. Partial Attendance

If you attend only part of an experience (arriving late or leaving early), you are not eligible for a partial refund. The full value of the experience is considered used.

11. Disputes and Complaints

If you have a complaint about your experience that you believe warrants a refund outside of our standard policy, please contact our customer service team within 48 hours of your experience with:

  • Your booking reference number
  • Details of the issues encountered
  • Any supporting evidence (photos, videos, etc.)

Each case will be reviewed individually on its merits. Our customer service team will investigate your complaint and respond within 7 business days.

12. Changes to This Refund Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Refund Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting on our website. The policy that was in effect at the time of your booking will apply to that specific booking, even if the policy changes afterward.
