Deposits
Deposits are required to secure your time slot and are a sign of respect for time put into prep + negotiations. They must be cleared in advance of our meeting day/ not the same day. Deposits count toward total tribute for a booking in nearly all cases; some duo partners will want an individual deposit and in some cases one person will take deposits for all providers when it comes to multiple folks playing.
If you bail or cancel last minute the deposit is kept. Rescheduling with ample notice is not impossible but cancelling on multi-provider sessions or scenes with heaps of set up does leave a lasting impression. Real emergencies do happen, and are the best reasons for rescheduling with less notice. I'd rather pivot than cancel in many cases. Expect a 50% deposit via e-transfer or gift card and never put anything in the comment/ note section of either of these things for discretion purposes- I remind everyone when the time comes as well.
There are a few things post-booking that may result in my cancelling a session and not refunding a deposit:
- abusive or coercive comms after booking with me or any of my colleagues
- fishing for free sexy chats or personal information
- trauma dumping or writing me long inebriated stories
- sending heaps of one-liner emails of needs
- sharing confidential information about other providers
- showing up intoxicated or obnoxiously late
