Overview
Thank you for choosing Puff & Paint Jamaica. We are committed to delivering a one-of-a-kind creative experience and want every guest to feel informed and confident before completing a booking.
This Refund and Return Policy sets out the terms under which ticket purchases, reservations, and payments for Puff & Paint Jamaica events, private classes, corporate bookings, and transfer services are handled with respect to refunds, cancellations, and rescheduling.
By completing a booking with Puff & Paint Jamaica, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to this policy in full. We strongly encourage all guests to read this policy carefully before making a purchase.
Our core policy is simple: All sales are final and tickets are non-refundable. However, where you contact us at least 48 hours before your event, we will always try our best to reschedule your booking to a future event, subject to availability.
All Sales Are Final
Puff & Paint Jamaica operates a strict no-refund policy. All ticket purchases, event reservations, private class bookings, corporate event deposits, and transfer payments are final once confirmed. We do not offer cash refunds, partial refunds, or credits in lieu of refunds for customer-initiated cancellations.
This policy exists because our events involve significant advance planning, artist scheduling, venue coordination, art supply procurement, and DJ arrangements — all committed costs that cannot be recovered once a booking is confirmed.
We encourage every guest to consider their booking carefully before purchasing. If you have any questions about an upcoming event — including the date, location, format, or accessibility — please contact us before completing your purchase so we can assist you in making the right choice.
Not sure yet? Contact us at info@officialpuffandpaintja.com before booking and we'll answer any questions you have about the event.

Medical or emergency situations: If you are unable to attend due to a documented medical emergency, please contact us with supporting documentation (e.g., a doctor's letter or hospital record). We will review these on a case-by-case basis and may, at our sole discretion, offer a rescheduling credit beyond the standard 48-hour window.
