Open Booking - Refund Question

I made a number of $1000 open booking deposits. The 6-month window for converting the first deposit to a confirmed booking expires in 5 days.

Long story, but my preference at the moment is to request a refund of the deposit for this booking as I am not ready to make a confirmation at this point.

I'm finding the refund policy a bit ambiguous and hope that those of you who have had or requested open booking refunds in the past can help clarify.

My question is whether there will be any penalties applied if I request a refund of the open booking deposit prior to the end of the 6 month window for converting from an open booking to a confirmed one. The way I read it, there don't seem to be, but I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!

I think they keep $100 or $200 dollars that can be used on your next booking.

My cancelled deposit was returned in full.:)
