- Payment must be made via accepted methods (bank transfer, UPI, credit/debit card, etc.).
- Failure to comply with the payment schedule may result in cancellation of booking without refund.
6. Cancellations and Refunds
6.1 Cancellations
- Cancellation policies are not uniform and can vary significantly depending on the type of service booked (e.g., flights, hotels, tour packages) and the terms set by third-party suppliers such as airlines, accommodation providers, or tour operators.
- Some bookings may be fully refundable, others partially refundable, and many may be completely non-refundable.
- It is the responsibility of the customer to request and understand the applicable cancellation policy at the time of booking.
- View from Windows strongly advises customers to ask about the cancellation terms before confirming any booking.
- All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via email or an authorized communication channel. Verbal requests will not be accepted or honoured.
6.2 Refunds
Refunds are processed based on the cancellation policy applicable to your specific booking and the terms outlined by the service providers involved.
In the event of a cancellation, if a refund is applicable, the amount refunded will depend on:
- The supplier’s refund rules
- The time at which the cancellation was made
- Any non-refundable components (e.g., visa fees, service charges, administrative fees)
Refund processing timelines may vary depending on the third-party provider and may take up to 30 business days or more in certain cases.
View from Windows does not control the refund processing speed of third-party suppliers and cannot guarantee immediate reimbursement.
In some cases, instead of a refund, the provider may offer a credit note, travel voucher, or rescheduling option, subject to their policies.
