Refund policy

Refunds are subject to Area 51 management consideration for approval based on individual circumstances. Any escalation is NOT automatically subject to approval, and management is permitted to deny a refund request in line with the Australian Consumer Law and ACCC Guidelines.

When is a Refund Considered?

  • When Area 51 is forced to close due to Government Mandated Lockdowns or Restrictions.
  • When Area 51 is unable to deliver your booking as initially booked due to staffing issues, capacity limitations, biohazards, or other restrictions such as; government mandated lockdowns or health directive restrictions.

Our Refund Policy:

All Bookings are non-refundable. Area 51 is not required to provide a refund, credit, or transfer if:

  • You change your mind.
  • You decide you did not like the purchase or had no use for it.
  • You did not turn up for your booking.
  • You have selected the wrong date/time.

All Area 51 Refund, Cancellation, Rescheduling and Exchange policies comply with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). For more information, please visit ACCC Website here: https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees/repair-replace-refund

No-Shows for all Booking Types:

  • Failure to attend your scheduled booking time, will result in a forfeit of your ticket. Area 51 will not reschedule, refund, or credit a missed session as this session time has been reserved for you and can no longer be purchased.

Cancellation for Area 51 Classes:

  • If you need to reschedule any bookings you have made for a class with Area 51, you will need to contact us via email to classes@area51bne.com a minimum of 24 hours before your scheduled session time.

  • If Area 51 is required to cancel your class due to Staffing Issues, Capacity Limitations or Government Mandated Lockdowns or Restrictions, we will attempt to reschedule your booking. If for any reason we are unable to accommodate your booking, a credit for the full value of the class will be provided.
