How to cancel a booking that has already started?

Organization's administrators are allowed to put an end to a booking even though it has already started.

Why should I terminate a booking that has already started?

You made a booking, but the day of your booking you are feeling sick for example. You notice that your booking period has already started and that you don't have the possibility to remove your booking anymore. In order to stop your booking to release the spot, you need to contact one of the administrators of your organization so that you can explain the situation. They have the possibility from their account to remove your booking even though it has already started.

If the reservation that has already started (in progress) has been terminated, the end users will not be refunded (credits, money etc.)
  1. Focus on the core problem of ‘making the unused space accessible for someone else’.
  2. Avoid misbehavior;  if a parker is in the parking lot, but his/her booking is terminated, he/she would get money back even if they are still using the space. That could create an incentive for exploitation.
