Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last Updated: 24th November 2025
This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains how refunds, cancellations, schedule changes, and ticket disputes are handled on UpSosh.
1. General Policy Principles
- All refunds are governed primarily by the Host's refund policy, as displayed on the event page.
- UpSosh acts only as a ticketing and discovery platform, not an event organizer.
- Users must review the Host's refund conditions before booking.
- All refund amounts will be returned using the original mode of payment unless otherwise specified.
2. User-Initiated Cancellations
If a User cancels their booking:
✔ Refund eligibility depends entirely on the Host's policy.
Hosts may choose one of the following for their event:
- No Refunds
- Partial Refunds (e.g., 50% refund up to 24 hours before)
- Full Refunds (within a specific time frame)
- Replacement/Reschedule Only
The Host's chosen policy will be clearly shown on the event page and during checkout.
⚠️ If the Host has selected "No Refund", UpSosh cannot override this rule.
3. Host-Initiated Cancellations
If the Host cancels the event for any reason:
✅ Users will receive:
- 100% refund of the ticket price, AND
- Refund of UpSosh service fees, AND
- Refund of applicable taxes
UpSosh will process this automatically.
4. Event Rescheduling or Significant Changes
If the Host changes:
- Event date
- Event time
- Venue
- Major part of event content
Users will be notified and given the choice to:
- Accept the updated event, OR
- Request a full refund (irrespective of Host policy)
This ensures fairness and meets Consumer Protection norms.
5. Partial Event Completion
If an event:
- Starts late
- Ends early
- Has reduced capacity
- Experiences technical delays
Refunds depend on:
- ✅ The Host's refund rules
- ✅ The extent of disruption
UpSosh may mediate disputes but final decisions rest with the Host, unless the Host's actions violate UpSosh's guidelines.
6. No-Shows (User Does Not Attend)
If the User does not attend an event:
❌ No refund will be provided
unless the Host's policy explicitly allows for it. This is standard across all ticketing platforms.
7. Force Majeure Events
Refunds apply differently when events are impacted by:
- Weather conditions
- Government restrictions
- Natural disasters
- Public safety issues
- Venue breakdowns
- National emergencies
✅ If the event is fully cancelled → Users receive 100% refund.
✅ If the event is rescheduled → Users may choose:
- Refund
- Attend new date
8. Ticket Misuse, Fraud, or Duplication
UpSosh is not responsible for issues caused by ticket misuse, including:
- Sharing screenshots
- Duplicate QR codes
- Unauthorized resale
- Fake tickets generated by Users
In such cases:
- No refund will be issued.
- Hosts may deny entry at their discretion.
9. Payment Failures
If payment is deducted but ticket is not issued due to technical/network issues:
Auto-refund is triggered within 2–5 business days.
If payment gateway holds funds:
- Refund timeline depends on the gateway (Razorpay, Paytm, etc.)
- UpSosh will assist but cannot accelerate gateway timelines.
10. Host Rules & Host Responsibility
Hosts must:
- Clearly define their refund policy

- 3–5 business days for UPI
- 5–7 business days for cards/netbanking

Delays may occur due to bank processing times.
