CANCELLATION:
The determining factor for cancellation charges is the length of time before the event that notice for cancellation is given. Because of this, each day in a multi-day reservation is treated individually.

A Reservation can be cancelled with no charge if notification is given 25 days or more in advance.
Because Reservations can be made with short notice, a reservation can also be cancelled within 5 days of the original invoice date, with no charges.

If notice of cancellation is given on the day of the event, 100% of the charges remain due; this charge shall be reduced by 4% for each day prior to the event date that notice of cancellation is given.

RESCHEDULING:
The Hal Holmes Center treats any rescheduling of an event as though it was cancelled and then a new reservation was made. In such an instance the charges for cancellation are discounted as follows:
If a new reservation is made for the same day that notice of cancellation is given, 100% of the payment for the cancellation charge will be credited towards the new reservation. This credit shall be reduced by 4% for each day that passes after the day such notice of cancellation is given and before which the rescheduled event occurs.
