Is the deposit refundable in Luoyang?

[Direct conclusion] Whether a deposit is refundable depends on who breaches and the contract: for a personal cancellation, the "dingjin" (security deposit) is usually not refunded or is reduced on a tiered basis; if the agency is at fault or force majeure prevents travel, the deposit should be refunded in full. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Always confirm the nature of the deposit and the refund terms before signing. 2. Two natures: "dingjin" (security deposit) is a guarantee — payer breaches, it is not returned; receiver breaches, it is doubled back. 3. "dingjin" (booking fee) is an advance payment, usually refundable under the change rules. 4. Four key points: check which character is used, the personal-cancellation deduction tiers, the full-refund clause for agency fault or force majeure, and whether the contract states a specific formula rather than a vague "deposit X received". Note: Keep medical certificates and other proof for insurance or refund claims.
