Commercial Forfeiture & Postponement Charter

Cancellation & Refund Policy

Operating parameters for palace venue buyout deposits, independent vendor advances, Pravariq advisory retainers, and date rescheduling protocols.

1. Commercial Context of Royal Palace Buyouts

Luxury destination weddings at iconic Rajasthan heritage properties (such as Taj Rambagh Palace, The Oberoi Udaivilas, Fairmont Jaipur, and Jagmandir Island) require booking commitments between six (6) to eighteen (18) months in advance. Due to extreme seasonal demand, strictly limited auspicious dates (*Saya dates*), and bespoke artisan fabrication, cancellation and refund parameters operate under strict contractual conditions.

2. Palace Hotel & Venue Buyout Deposits (Pass-Through Terms)

All deposits, room block advances, and Food & Beverage (F&B) minimum spend guarantees paid to hotel properties are subject strictly to the cancellation and forfeiture schedules established by the respective hotel operator (e.g., IHCL, EIH Limited, Accor):

  • Non-Refundable Hotel Buyouts: In standard palace destination contracts, venue booking deposits (typically 25%–50% upon contract signing and 100% within 60–90 days of the celebration) are 100% non-refundable upon confirmation.
  • Pass-Through Forfeiture: Pravariq Events does not retain, hold, or mark up venue deposits. If a Client cancels a booking, refund eligibility from the venue is governed exclusively by the hotel's direct terms. Pravariq Events bears zero liability for forfeited hotel deposits.

3. Third-Party Vendor Advances & Custom Artisan Fabrication

Under our 100% open-book procurement framework:

  • Atelier Production & Materials: Advances disbursed for custom wood carpentry, iron framework welding at our Sitapura artisan atelier, block-printed velvet textiles, and bespoke brass props are non-refundable once raw material procurement or workshop labor has commenced.
  • Perishable Floristry: Wholesale flower orders placed through Dutch cold-chain importers or Muhana Mandi distributors are non-cancellable within 21 days of the event due to agricultural auction commitments.
  • Artist & Celebrity Bookings: Live performer, folk maestro, and celebrity rider advances are strictly subject to individual artist contracts, which universally enforce 100% deposit forfeiture upon client-initiated cancellation.

4. Pravariq Professional Management Retainer Schedule

Our professional planning retainer covers executive calendar exclusivity, 3D Jharokha spatial modeling, vendor auditing, and direct advisory by Sameer Chaturvedi. Where a Client elects to terminate the planning engagement:

5. Date Rescheduling & Postponement Protocols

We understand that unforeseen family contingencies may necessitate moving wedding dates. In such scenarios:

  • One-to-One Calendar Exclusivity: Because Pravariq Events maintains a strict date-exclusivity guarantee, rescheduling is subject to Sameer Chaturvedi's executive availability for the newly proposed dates.
  • Credit Transfer: If written notice is provided at least 120 days prior and new dates fall within twelve (12) months, 100% of the Pravariq management retainer already paid shall be credited towards the new dates, subject to any venue-imposed seasonal differential rates.

6. Force Majeure Cancellations & Statutory Protections

If an event cannot proceed due to statutory government prohibitions, sudden airspace closures, natural disasters, or state-ordered lockdown declarations, cancellation liabilities shall be mitigated in good faith:

  • Pravariq Events shall issue a Credit Note valid for twenty-four (24) months for all non-expended management retainers.
  • Unspent supplier funds not yet committed to fabrication materials or non-refundable venue deposits shall be refunded directly to the Client within forty-five (45) business days.
