Refunds & cancellations
Last updated: July 16, 2026
Refund and cancellation rules depend on who you paid — a pageant director for registration, or a pageant professional for a booking. Crownly shows the applicable policy before you pay.
Pageant registrations
- Directors set refund and cancellation policies shown at checkout.
- Contact the director first for registration changes or refund requests.
- Crownly platform fees follow the policy stated at checkout and in Pricing & fees.
- Stripe processing fees may be non-refundable depending on payment status.
Professional bookings
- Professionals set cancellation windows and refund terms on their services.
- Reschedule or cancel through your booking details when available.
- Disputes should start with a good-faith conversation between guardian and professional.
Chargebacks and disputes
Abusive or fraudulent chargebacks may lead to account suspension. Use in-app support and director or professional communication before initiating a chargeback when possible.
Event cancellation
- If a director cancels an event, they are responsible for communicating with registered families and honoring their published refund policy.
- Crownly may assist with notifications but is not the event organizer.
