Spanish term or phrase: estar en gastos
El cliente ‘X’ solicita negociar gastos de cancelación para la reserva ‘X’. Tras negociar con el
hotel, se acoge a la cláusula del contrato ‘X’ (especificar según los casos si es una ‘no

if we have incurred costs
Explanation:
is how I see it, in other words, if they have spent/lost money.

In other words, I don't think this term is intended to be an expansion of ‘no refundable’, but a condition in which it becomes applicable

whether the cost is non-recuperable (or non-recoverable)


Explanation:
me parece que "si estamos en gastos" es una explicación en español del significado de la expresión inglés "non-refundable"... en este caso "non-refundable" sería lo mismo como "estar en gastos"

disagree  Andrew Bramhall: recuperable ?

  -> yes, recuperable, see here please Oliver http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/view/entry/m_en_gb0693180#...
agree  David Ronder: 'recuperable' is fine, a synonym of 'recoverable' according to Oxford. I think Oliver's disagree is ill-founded and harsh, given that he was only querying one of your suggested terms.
