I booked a set of wedding photos in the studio and paid a deposit of 1000. Now I don't want to eat. Can I ask for a refund?

Yes, but you have to pay a certain fine.

Deposit refers to a certain amount of money or other substitutes agreed by the parties to ensure the realization of creditor's rights and paid by one party to the other party in advance before performance. The deposit is a kind of guarantee. Because the deposit is paid in advance and the amount of the deposit is clear in advance, the application of the deposit penalty can urge both parties to perform consciously and play a guarantee role.

Deposit is different from advance payment: deposit has guarantee function. If the debt is not fulfilled or the performance of the debt is not in conformity with the agreement and the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, the penalty of deposit shall be applied. However, the advance payment is only the amount paid in advance under the normal delivery of the subject matter or the normal provision of services. In case of shortage, the party paying the advance payment can pay the remaining price. If the party that delivered the subject matter or provided the service breaches the contract, the party that paid the advance payment shall have the right to request the return of the advance payment.
