ABOUT YOUR BOOKING ADMINISTRATION
I have placed an order, but I haven’t received confirmation. Where do I find the details for my booking?
Please make sure to also check your junk/spam folder, as at times our order confirmation e-mail could end up there. Your order history is also summarised under the Order section of your registered DAIMANI account. If you still can’t find confirmation for your order, please reach out to us on booking@daimani.com.
Can I apply for a refund for the VAT expense and/or can I be invoiced the service exempt of VAT?
As RWC 2023 goods and services are consumed in France, we must add 20% VAT to all purchases. Consequently, DAIMANI can’t remove it from the invoice for clients registered in other EU or non-EU countries. In other words, as no export is happening, our product doesn’t qualify for rules with reverse charge with other EU countries nor for export rules with 0% VAT rate for non-EU countries.
Can I get a refund?
Should you have purchased our RefundProtect insurance add-on alongside your RWC 2023 Hospitality Package, we kindly ask you to verify if your refund request is applicable via the dedicated Refund Protect page.
If not, we cannot assist with refund requests. As the sales agent for France 2023, we must adhere to the terms and conditions of purchase for Rugby World Cup 2023 Official Hospitality, which state that all purchases are final. However, you can "gift" the packages to someone else if interested.
