Do you have a party cancellation policy?

If so, do you give it to your hostesses with their party packets or do you verbally tell them about your party cancellation policy?

A friend of mine drafted up a party cancellation policy and inserts it into her hostess packets, does anyone else do this?

I've been lucky not to need it since I have not done too many parties, but I do have one that I can start printing up if I do need it.

Most of the Crew Members in my biz do have a cancellation policy that requires a non-refundable deposit to hold the date of the party. Also, all orders need to be paid for no less than 10-14 days in advance. That gives the CM time to place the order, and the customer time to make changes if necessary. If the customer cancels 10 days or less before the party, and the products are already ordered, then the CM is not out of money.

I do have a specific contract for large workshops (over 25 people) that has a cancellation clause. Luckily, no workshops have been canceled on me yet!
