S3 Boston League Refund Policy

Before the Start of the Season:

League fees are fully refundable if the player sends an email to jess@s3Boston.com requesting a refund more than 21 days before the date of the first scheduled game.

If you would like to switch the league you are signed up for, rather than requesting a full refund, the amount paid can be directly applied to the requested season. If there is a difference in league fees, a refund will be issued or additional league fee will apply.

At or within 21 calendar days of your season’s first game date, refunds are not allowed. At this time teams are made and finalized.

Once the Season has Started:

League fees are non-refundable regardless of the circumstances at any time during the season with the exception of the COVID-19 clause referenced below. Once replaced during the season, you may not re-enter the current season for any reason.

Within 7 days of the first game date and at any time during the season, only replacements that you yourself find are allowed. He/she will have to email us registration information (name, email, phone number, etc), but then pay you directly for what you agree upon for their league fees. He/she will not be allowed to play without submitting this information and signing a waiver. In this situation, all replacements must be of the same gender and around the same age.

COVID-19 Amended Policy Effective July 2020:

If your league is cancelled for any reason before we begin, you will receive a full refund. If after first games have been played, with cancellations related to COVID-19 issues where the government or health officials will not allow us to continue, or the season needs to be cut short, you will receive a prorated credit for future leagues that never expires. It's important to note that once the season begins, S3 incurs many startup expenses including shirts, equipment, permit costs, etc. and therefore the prorated credits will NOT be calculated in the following way: Total fees paid/Total weeks in the season=weekly cost to participate. But we will be fair in this calculation based on each individual league's expenses.

We also understand things can change either in the City of Boston or in your personal life, we want to give you more flexibility and time than our normal refund policy. Therefore, if you request a refund 7+ days prior to your league start date (normally 21 days for individual players and 30 days for full teams) you will receive a full refund (minus any non-refundable credit card processing fees incurred). Within 7 days of the start date but at or greater than 2 days before first games, refunds are not allowed for any reason but you may replace yourself with another player of the same gender.

After first games have been played, if you or your team choose to drop out of the league or are required not to attend games due to state quarantine requirements from a positive COVID-19 test result or are awaiting COVID-19test results due to potential exposure/concerns, no refunds will be provided for missed or unplayed games and it is unlikely we will be able to make up these games at a later date due to scheduling and availability issues. In addition, no refunds will be provided after first games have been played for reasons including but not limited to general concerns over COVID-19, personal, family or work situations, relocation, a positive COVID-19 result or awaiting test results by either by you, a teammate, another league player, or someone you've been in close contact with that requires quarantine or non-attendance by state mandate.

​Players are expected to act responsibly both during league participation but also outside of leagues for their own safety. S3 can only reasonably be expected to run leagues in a safe way that follows state guidelines. With how much work is required to plan, organize, often reorganize many times, etc, S3 would not be able to leagues if providing refunds and/or rescheduling games for players or teams that become unable to attend due to any of the aforementioned COVID-19 issues that may have arisen or been caused by non-league related activities. Just the same as if a player or team couldn't attend games due to various issues that come up mid season during normal times. Thank you for your understanding of this.

We want all spots on teams filled, so if there are no more places within 21 days of your league’s start date and someone wants to play that fits yours spot, we will replace you with that person and provide a full refund minus a $50 player replacement fee for the logistical work involved in switching you out with another player.
