It depends. WD events and classes are ticketed by World in a Dish via Stripe or Eventbrite. Vendor-hosted events are ticketed by the vendor on their platform — refund and customer-service policies follow the platform used.

For classes ticketed through Eventbrite, refunds follow Eventbrite's policy and our event-level settings (generally 7+ days = refundable, within 7 days = non-refundable). Specific terms shown at checkout. For WD-native bookings, store-credit policies apply as above.
