10-Year Celebration Formal 2020 Has Been Canceled
3/25/20 - Refund Policy Updates of 10-year Celebration Formal 2020
Dear Brothers and Families,
Like so many of you, we have spent the last several days and weeks learning about the coronavirus (COVID-19) and how it is impacting our world. For the Iota Xi Chapter, that means understanding how it affects our brothers and families and then making the necessary adjustments to our operations. We wanted to reach out and update the chapter's Formal 2020 Tickets Refund Policy.
- All tickets purchased before 03/28/2020 automatically have been transferred to the event hosts on 10/17/2020.
- The refund policy applies to your purchase of tickets directly through us via our website at floridatechdelts.org before 03/28/2020..
- The refund period is 180 days from the transaction date when you purchase the ticket(s) from floridatechdelts.org.
- The last day to request a ticket(s) refund request is June 1, 2020.
- Eventbrite.com is the only channel to request a refund. The Iota Xi chapter does not accept any other kinds of request method. Please refer to the Refund Guide on floridatechdelts.org for further guidance.
- We will respond to your request within 1 - 5 business days. If the refund request satisfied the time frame requirement, the Finance would issue a full refund.
- If you purchased with PayPal installment plan, we would cancel your automatic payments profile, and refund finished payments.
- If you paid with your:
- Credit card (including PayPal Credit): your refund will go to your credit card. It may take up to 30 days for the refund amount to appear on your card statement. If the card was canceled or you paid with a prepaid card, contact the card issuer to access your refun d. The money will still be sent to this card account.
- Bank account: your refund will initially go back to the PayPal balance before being auto swept back to the original funding source (bank). It may take up to 5 business days for the refund amount to appear on your bank account. If a refund is issued shortly after you paid, we'll try to cancel the transaction, so you're never charged. If we're unable to cancel the transaction, the refund will be processed and sent to your bank account.
- PayPal Cash or PayPal Cash Plus balance: your refund will go to your PayPal Cash or PayPal Cash Plus balance on the same day the refund was processed.
- PayPal Cash or PayPal Cash Plus balance + credit card: your refund will go to both your PayPal Cash or PayPal Cash Plus balance and credit card. The refund to the balance will happen the same day it's processed; the refund to the card may take up to 30 days.
- Debit card: your refund will go to your debit card. It may take up to 30 days for the refund amount to appear on your card statement. If the refund can't be applied to your debit card, it'll be sent to your PayPal account.
- Cash/Check: the Iota Xi chapter will contact you personally.
On behalf of our entire Finance Committee team, we thank you for your support. Let's band together to overcome challenges and complexities for the time like this.
Stay safe!
Fraternally,
Ce "Samuel" Su
Director of Finance
