1. Payment Policy

Once the Application is submitted to PDAC, it will undergo an approval process. Approved Renters will receive an email confirmation with their room assignment and an invoice. Once received, the Renter has 10 business days to submit full payment. Failure to submit full payment within 10 business days of the invoice date constitutes a cancellation of the Reception Room booking. Full payment is required to guarantee a Reception Room booking. Applications are processed based on the date and time they are received.

An approved Reception Room application without full payment is considered a tentative hold. If PDAC is approached by another organization interested in a booking that is currently on a tentative hold, PDAC will notify you and you will have 10 business days to submit the full payment. Failure to submit payment by the end of this period will result in the cancellation of the Reception Room booking without further notice.

Renters will not receive any marketing benefits until full payment is received.

2. Cancellation Policy

A Renter will be eligible for a refund less a $100 administrative fee, if a cancellation is received in writing within two weeks of the payment date. After the two week period, no refunds will be issued. Payments made after December 22, 2023 will not be eligible for a refund.
