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

Attendee Refunds

Attendees may be eligible for refunds under the following conditions:

  • Event Cancellation: Full refund if the host cancels the event
  • Technical Issues: Full refund if platform technical issues prevent attendance
  • Double Booking: Full refund for accidental duplicate purchases
  • Fraudulent Charges: Full refund for unauthorized transactions

Host Refunds

Hosts may receive refunds for platform fees in cases of:

  • Platform Downtime: Credit for service interruptions exceeding 1 hour
  • Technical Failures: Credit for platform-caused meeting failures
  • Billing Errors: Full refund for incorrect charges

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
