Headout policy guide. Headout publishes experience-specific cancellation conditions. A customer should read the listing and booking confirmation because some products permit cancellation while others are nonrefundable or controlled by the supplier; eligible refunds are processed according to the applicable booking terms. Headout's cancellation policy emphasizes that each experience can have its own cancellation and refund rules displayed on the listing. Headout does not use one universal cancellation deadline for every experience.
After a booking is made, the ability to change or cancel with money back depends on the product and supplier terms rather than a single universal Headout deadline. Two Headout experiences in the same city have different cancellation deadlines, showing why the listing controls rather than a platform-wide assumption. For this Headout transaction, keep the experience listing policy and the booking ID together so the timing can be reconstructed if support reviews the request.

Timing point: Headout
Headout's cancellation policy emphasizes that each experience can have its own cancellation and refund rules displayed on the listing. Two Headout experiences in the same city have different cancellation deadlines, showing why the listing controls rather than a platform-wide assumption. Headout does not use one universal cancellation deadline for every experience. The useful evidence for that exact Headout situation is the experience listing policy.
When an eligible refund is due through Headout, the timing can depend on Headout first receiving the applicable amount from the supplier before initiating the customer's refund.

If the two records point to different dates or statuses, ask Headout to confirm which one controls before assuming a refund, credit, cancellation or continued-access result.

What changes after cancellation
- Headout step 1. Open the exact Headout experience listing and the booking confirmation; identify the cancellation wording that applies to that product. After a booking is made, the ability to change or cancel with money back depends on the product and supplier terms rather than a single universal Headout deadline. Preserve the supplier/Headout message before moving to the next step.
- Headout step 2. Check the deadline and whether the listing says free cancellation, partial/no refund, or another supplier-specific condition. The Terms describe Headout as working with experience suppliers, so the supplier's conditions can determine whether a voluntary cancellation is refundable. Preserve the refund method before moving to the next step.
- Headout step 3. Submit the request through Headout's booking/help path before the stated cutoff when cancellation is permitted. When an eligible refund is due through Headout, the timing can depend on Headout first receiving the applicable amount from the supplier before initiating the customer's refund. Preserve the credit balance if used before moving to the next step.
- Headout step 4. If Headout says supplier approval/payment is required, keep the case open until the provider confirms the outcome. The standard refund route is generally the original payment method, while Headout Credits can be a distinct alternative in situations where the original route is unavailable or a credit option is offered. Preserve the experience listing policy before moving to the next step.
- Headout step 5. Verify whether the resolution is original-payment refund or Headout Credits rather than treating both as cash. Headout Credits are not the same thing as cash and should not be described as a bank/card refund. Preserve the booking ID before moving to the next step.
- Headout step 6. Save the listing policy as shown at booking, the confirmation and the final refund/credit message. Provider-caused cancellation or a qualifying Headout/service failure can follow a different remedy path from a traveler simply changing plans. Preserve the cancellation deadline before moving to the next step.
