  1. CANCELLATION/POSTPONEMENT OF PRIVATE EVENT

75% of deposit fee, if cancelled in less than ten (10) days;

50% of deposit fee, if cancelled in 31 to 60 days before;

25% of deposit fee, if cancelled in 61 to 90 days before.

If cancellation/postponement is unavoidable, please verify the cancellation by telephone, followed by a written letter to BOWAstudios within five (5) days.
