nonerstattbar

Nonerstattbar is a term used in German-language contexts to designate that a payment is not refundable. Formed by combining the English prefix non- with the German adjective erstattbar (refundable), nonerstattbar indicates that, once a purchase is completed, the seller is not obligated to return money in the event of cancellation or change. In practice, it appears on tickets, reservations, and services where refunds are not provided, except maybe under certain conditions stipulated elsewhere in the contract.

It is commonly encountered in travel, hospitality, and event industries, including airline tickets, hotel bookings, tour services, and admission to performances. The price for nonerstattbare offers is often lower in exchange for the loss of refundability, and such offers may be restricted further (for example, non-transferable or non-changeable). Some providers may offer limited exceptions, credits, or refunds if specific circumstances arise, but these are not part of the standard nonerstattbar policy.

From a legal perspective, nonerstattbar is a contractual term that communicates refund policy agreed at purchase. Jurisdictional consumer protections may affect how such terms are applied, especially regarding cooling-off rights, defective services, or discriminatory practices. Consumers should read cancellation clauses carefully before buying.

Translations and variants: nonrefundable or non-refundable (English). German equivalents include nicht erstattungsfähig, nicht rückerstattungsfähig; nonerstattbar is a loanword form used especially in marketing or bilingual texts. See also refund policy, cancellation policy.
