What is the name of your state? Missouri
If was wondering if I won a judgement on the first case and the defendant appealed with an attorney how likely is it that I will win the appeal without an attorney. I put down a 600.00 deposit on a Trophy deer hunt here in Missouri and I did not recieve any written contract regarding a refund policy, nor was told about the website until after I put my deposit down. I cancelled this hunt 155 days in advance, but was told they would move my hunt. In November of this year I just asked for my money back, which the owner would not give me until he found out I filed the small claims suit. He agreed in email to pay me $300.00, but filed the appeal before the 10 days was up. Now he wants me to dimiss the judgement without predjudice before he will agree to pay me because it affects his credit rating. I told him he has to pay me $325.00 before I will dismiss it or I will go ahead with the full $625.00 I was originally rewarded. Here is what I found later on his website regarding his policy:
Hunt Deposits: A non-refundable deposit of $500 will be collected on each hunt that is booked. The balance of your hunt is due upon arrival. The deposit may only be considered for refund in the event of a medical or family emergency with documentation from a medical practitioner. If a hunter needs to cancel a booked hunt, IMB will honor the deposit for 2 years.
Cancellation Policy: A hunt must be cancelled 45 days prior to its start. Failure to announce a cancellation as aforementioned will result in the loss of deposit or monies surrendered. Exceptions include medical emergencies verified in writing by a physician, death in the immediate family, or natural disaster deemed pardonable by IMB Outfitters.
How can you have a 500 non-refundable deposit but the next paragraph state you will lose your deposit or monies surrendered if you don't cancel 45 days in advance? and then have an exception that you deem pardonable. I never received any written policy or contract stating his refund policy and did not have access to a computer at the time.
