Paid and Organic Online Marketing efforts

Our Cancellation Policy:
We understand life events occur and plans change! Please review our cancellation policy thoroughly before applying to ensure this is the right opportunity for you.
To cancel, you must notify BWM via e-mail at hello@Bostonwomensmarket.com by the following dates:
100% refund: If notified at least 7 days before the date of the event.
50% refund: If notified at least 6 days before the date of the event.
No refund: If notified 5 days or less before the date of the event.
Bad Weather Event Cancellation Policy:
If the Boston Women’s Market team cancels an event due to inclement weather (rain, storms, heatwave, snow storms, etc.) you will receive a refund of your registration fee minus 15%. Table & Chair rental fees will be refunded 100%.
Why are we now charging a 15% fee?
As you can imagine, a great deal of time, effort and money has already been spent well in advance of knowing we will need to cancel an event due to weather. Each time we have to cancel an event, BWM loses hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars that has already been spent on advertising and labor. Additionally, we have to re-do all our labor and marketing to re-advertise an event if it is moved to a new date. In order to help plug this large leak and keep us financially stable, we have decided to implement this new policy. This is not a decision that we have taken lightly. We personally know how important every dollar is to a small business. We hope you can understand why we have to implement this new policy.
This Bad Weather policy will apply to:
Events that have been cancelled and no rescheduled date can be established
If an event has been rescheduled to a new date, and you cannot participate in the new date
