All payments are final and non-refundable. Once funds are received, they are immediately committed to third-party vendors and the purchase of perishable goods.  Because the budget is based on the total number of confirmed participants, we cannot offer refunds for: 

• Cancellations due to personal scheduling conflicts
• Travel delays or transportation issues 
• Inclement weather (unless the venue officially closes)
• No-shows on the day of the event

While refunds are not available, you may transfer your “spot” to another family member who has not yet paid. Please notify the Collins Family Reunion Planning Committee via email within 48 hours prior to event date to authorize a name transfer.

In the unlikely event that the reunion is cancelled by the Collins Family Reunion Planning Committee due to unforeseen circumstances, any recoverable funds (those not already spent on supplies or kept by vendors) will be distributed back to participants on a pro-rata basis.

By sending payment via (Debit Card/Credit Card/Cash App/Check/Cash), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to this No-Refund Disclosure.
