Recover marriage hall advance amount

Dear Experts,

I have paid Advance of 30000 to Marriage hall,Marriage has been called off by Bride side.Hence initmated the same to Marriage Hall owner to cancel the booking

And payback the advance.Marriage owner denied to do that.Also they have given one terms and conditions paper while booking Marriage Hall,stating advance amount wont be returned Incase of cancellations.

1)By considering the above fact ,stIll I am eligible to legal Remedy to get back my Advance amount.??

2)if the marriage hall owners claimed that ,while booking itself I have intimated the terms and conditions that Advance can't be returned incase of cancellation.

SO in this scenario what would consumer court decide.

Quick Summary

A user paid a £30,000 advance for a marriage hall, but the wedding was called off by the bride's side. The hall owner refuses to refund the advance, citing terms and conditions stating non-refundable deposits. The user is seeking advice on whether they have a legal right to recover the money, especially considering the owner's claim that these terms were communicated at booking. The advice suggests that the validity of these terms depends on whether they were properly documented or signed, and a legal notice might be a viable option.

ucan send legal notice for recovery

The terms and conditions are binding only if they form a part of the receipt of payment or if you have signed a separate form agreeing to the terms.

As already suggested you may send a legal notice. Every thing depends upon the terms and conditions while making advance and whether you had agreed to them with free consent.
