Cut Off Policies

📆 Revision Date:

Cut Off Policy

A Cut-Off Policy in EventKey defines the date when a tentative or unconfirmed event becomes eligible for automatic release if it has not been moved to confirmed status. This policy helps ensure that valuable meeting space is not held indefinitely, allowing the hotel or venue to manage availability effectively and minimize potential revenue loss from unused space.

Navigate to Home > Event Administration > Policies > Cancellation Policies
