Last updated: October 11, 2026
1. Introduction
This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds are provided for paid meetings and events hosted on Mguso Meet. We are committed to fair and transparent refund practices.
By purchasing tickets or hosting paid events on our platform, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
2. General Refund Policy

Attendees may be eligible for refunds under the following conditions:
- Event Cancellation: Full refund if the host cancels the event

3. Time-Based Refund Schedule
Refund eligibility depends on the timing of the request:
Attendee Cancellations
- 30+ days before: 100% refund (minus payment gateway fees)
- 14-29 days before: 75% refund (minus payment gateway fees)
- 7-13 days before: 50% refund (minus payment gateway fees)
- 3-6 days before: 25% refund (minus payment gateway fees)
- Less than 3 days: No refund
Host Cancellations
- Any time before event: Must refund all attendees (minus payment gateway fees)
- Platform fees: Credited to host account
- Emergency cancellations: Case-by-case review
4. Payment Gateway and Processing Fees
All refunds are subject to deduction of payment gateway and processing fees:
Important Fee Information
- Payment Gateway Fees: All refunds are minus payment gateway transaction fees (typically 2.9% + $0.30 for credit cards, or equivalent mobile money fees)
- Mobile Money Fees: Mobile money transactions incur processing fees that are non-refundable
- Credit Card Fees: Credit card processing fees are deducted from all refund amounts
- International Transactions: Additional currency conversion and international processing fees may apply
Example: For a $100 ticket, the refund amount would be $100 minus payment gateway fees (approximately $3.20), resulting in a $96.80 refund.
These fees are charged by third-party payment processors (Flutterwave, ClickPesa, banks, etc.) and are not retained by Mguso Meet. We cannot refund these processing fees as they are non-recoverable costs.
5. Non-Refundable Items
The following are generally non-refundable:
- Tickets for events that have already occurred
- Missed events due to attendee's technical issues
- Change of mind after the refund deadline
- Travel or accommodation expenses
- Third-party services or integrations
