I/we acknowledge that the one-half amount that was paid as a retainer is non-refundable.
However, if Notary Sonya McNeil cancels the wedding, we will receive a 100% refund on all payments made, unless she can provide a suitable substitute notary to officiate our wedding using our custom written ceremony. (The fair principle being that whoever cancels loses the deposit).
We also understand that 75% of the work Notary Republic Sonya McNeil dedicates to our wedding is prior to the actual wedding date, such as the planning, consultations, custom writing of the ceremony script etc. Therefore, we understand that if we cancel our wedding after Notary Sonya McNeil has completed her initial consultation with us (in person, via phone, or via the submission of completed questionnaires), and if a draft of our wedding ceremony script has already been presented to us, we agree to pay 75% of the total amount of this contract. (Both conditions must be met by Notary Sonya McNeil to be entitled to this payment). We agree that it is only fair for Notary Sonya McNeil to be paid for the work she has performed.
For cancellations within 14 days of the wedding date, there is no refund, and 100% of this contract will be due to Notary Sonya McNeil.
Wedding Date Change: If the wedding date is postponed or changed, the following rules will apply: If Notary Republic Sonya McNeil has the new date available, she will change your date and re-reserve it under the new date for an additional $50 “date change fee”. However, if Notary Republic Sonya McNeil is already obligated for the new date you have chosen, and is unable to officiate your wedding on the new date, then the initial security retainer of Half (1/2) is forfeited and Notary Sonya McNeil is relieved of all responsibilities set forth in this contract.
