Refund and Cancellation Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

This Refund and Cancellation Policy (“Policy”) forms part of the Pitchbook NG Terms and Conditions and applies to all bookings made through the Pitchbook NG platform (the “Platform”). By making a booking, you agree to be bound by this Policy.

Pitchbook NG acts as a facilitator between users and independent pitch owners/operators (“Pitch Providers”). Refunds and cancellations are subject to this Policy, any Pitch Provider terms disclosed at booking (where applicable), and applicable Nigerian laws.

When this policy becomes binding

This policy applies to all bookings made via the Platform and becomes binding once payment is successfully completed and the booking is confirmed.

1. Scope and Application

This Policy applies to all confirmed bookings of football pitches made through the Platform. Bookings are considered final upon successful payment and confirmation.

2. Cancellation Windows and Refund Eligibility

Refund eligibility depends on when you cancel relative to the scheduled start time:

  • More than 24 hours before start time — Eligible for a refund, subject to the non-refundable amounts in Section 3.
  • Within 24 hours before start time — Generally non-refundable. In exceptional circumstances (e.g., documented medical emergencies or force majeure), Pitchbook NG may consider a refund or credit at its discretion.
  • Within 1 hour of start time — Strictly non-refundable under any circumstances.
  • No-show — If you fail to attend without cancelling, no refund will be issued. A Pitch Provider may also apply additional charges where applicable.

Tip

We strongly encourage early cancellations to maximise refund eligibility and allow other users to book the pitch.

3. Non-Refundable Charges

Where a refund is approved, the following amounts are non-refundable:

  • Platform Service Fee — A fixed 5% service charge (or the amount displayed at checkout) covering administrative, operational, platform maintenance, and payment gateway costs.
  • Payment Processing Fees — Any third-party payment gateway fees incurred for the transaction.
  • Taxes — VAT and other statutory taxes may be non-refundable once payment processing has occurred, in line with applicable Nigerian tax rules.

These deductions help cover costs already incurred and support compliance with applicable legal and tax obligations.

4. Refund Calculation

Where a booking is eligible and a refund is approved:

Refund calculation

Refund Amount = Total Booking Amount − (Non-Refundable Service Fee + Payment Processing Fees + Applicable Taxes)

Refunds are calculated based on the original payment amount and are processed in Nigerian Naira (₦).

Pitch Provider fees

Pitch Providers may apply additional cancellation conditions or fees (where permitted and disclosed). Pitchbook NG does not control Pitch Provider-specific policies beyond facilitating the booking and payment.

5. Refund Processing and How to Request

Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method. Timing depends on your bank or payment provider and may take 7–14 business days. We are not responsible for delays caused by third-party financial institutions.

In some cases, we may offer a partial refund or platform credit (for future bookings) at our discretion.

How to request a cancellation/refund

  1. Log into your Pitchbook NG account.
  2. Go to “My Bookings” and select the relevant booking.
  3. Follow the cancellation prompts and provide any required documentation (for example, where exceptional circumstances are claimed).

6. Exceptional Circumstances and Force Majeure

In rare situations outside your reasonable control—such as pitch closure due to unforeseen weather, maintenance issues, or government restrictions—Pitchbook NG may offer a full or partial refund or credit, in coordination with the Pitch Provider.

Decisions in exceptional cases are made on a case-by-case basis and may require supporting evidence.

7. Policy Updates

We may modify this Policy at any time to reflect operational changes or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on the Platform with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

Consumer protection note

This Policy is intended to align with applicable Nigerian consumer protection principles, including allowing reasonable cancellation rules and charges for advance bookings where appropriate.
