Overview

A flat ₹35 convenience fee is charged on every booking made through MyMiniScreen - whether online, in-app, or in person via a screener at the venue (a "walk-in" booking). This page explains what the fee covers, when it is charged, and why it cannot be refunded.

The convenience fee is always shown separately in your price breakdown before you pay - it is never hidden inside the booking amount.

Why We Charge It

The convenience fee is not part of the booking amount paid to the screener. It covers MyMiniScreen's own costs of running the platform for every transaction, including:

  • Real-time slot locking so two customers can never double-book the same screen.
  • Payment gateway processing charges for card, UPI and net-banking transactions.
  • Platform infrastructure, customer support, and booking/ticket delivery (SMS, WhatsApp and email).
  • Fraud prevention and dispute-resolution support for every booking.

When It Applies

The ₹35 convenience fee is charged exactly once per booking, regardless of how the booking is made or paid for:

  • Full payment plan: included in the one-time amount charged at checkout.
  • 50% advance + 50% on entry plan: charged upfront as part of the advance - never added again when the balance is collected at the venue.
  • Walk-in bookings made in person through a screener: included in the total amount collected at the venue.

It is charged once no matter how many add-ons, guests, or promo codes apply to the booking.

Non-Refundable Policy

The convenience fee is strictly non-refundable under all circumstances, including:

  • Cancellation by the customer, at any time before the slot - even within a window that otherwise qualifies for a 100% refund of the booking amount.
  • Rescheduling a booking to a different date or slot.
  • Disputes, complaints, or venue-related issues.

There is one exception: if a screener cancels your confirmed booking, you receive a full refund including the convenience fee - see the Cancellation by Screener section of our Booking Policy.

The exact refund amount, with the convenience fee already excluded, is always shown to you before you confirm a cancellation.

Walk-In Bookings

When a customer books in person at the venue through a screener (rather than online or in-app), the same ₹35 convenience fee applies and is included in the total amount collected. Screeners cannot waive this fee - it belongs to MyMiniScreen, not to the venue.

Receipts & Invoicing

Every booking confirmation and invoice itemises the convenience fee as its own line, separate from the booking amount, any add-ons, and any promo code discount. Promo codes and discounts apply only to the booking amount - never to the convenience fee.

Changes to This Fee

MyMiniScreen may revise the convenience fee amount from time to time. Any change will apply only to bookings made after the new fee takes effect and will always be shown clearly before you pay - it never changes retroactively on an existing booking.
