Fees and refunds
Our cancellation fees and refunds are designed to encourage you and your Elf to give lots of advance notice if canceling.
If YOU cancel
To keep great Elves cooking for you, we ask for a $35 deposit to hold a reservation and advance notice when canceling.

| If you cancel by 5pm, 3 days prior | If you cancel after 5pm, 3 days prior |

⚠️COVID-19: If you or a member of your household have tested positive for the virus, or is under doctor-recommended quarantine due to exposure to the virus, please cancel your appointment. All fees will be waived.
Notes
- You'll always see cancellation terms on your appointment page.
- If you book and cancel within 60 minutes, you'll receive a full refund.
- If you cancel after your Elf leaves the grocery store (e.g. an hour before your start time), you may lose all of your appointment cost.

FAQ
Q: What if there's a weather emergency (e.g. flooding, snow)?
A: If your zip code is under a state of emergency or local schools are delayed or closed, an Elf can cancel their appointment with no credit to you.
We're still working on weather-immune transportation...
Q: Can I reschedule, instead of canceling, so I don't lose my deposit?
A: No. From an Elf's perspective, rescheduling is the same as canceling, as they may not get rebooked in their original spot.
