Cousin Says She's Entitled To Her Deposit Back And She's Threatening To Take Us To Court

Card image cap

Location: California I'm asking more on behalf of my younger brother and his bandmates. My brother and his friends recently started playing in a band that plays for parties and have come into an argument with my cousin. She has previously hired them for a party in the past, and it went very well, so she decided to hire them again for an upcoming party this month. Today she texted my brother letting him know that she was cancelling due to some issues and she was asking for her deposit back. My brother at first told her that they would do it, but he didn't realize that the deposit was only returned if the band canceled on the party this being fairly new to him, as it's his first time in a band. My brother texted my cousin to clear up the misunderstanding and apologize. That's when my cousin decided that she didn't want to discuss "business" with him because he is a minor, and so she wanted the number of the bandmate's father to talk to him. Well, there was an argument that ensued, the father told her that she could get at most 200 dollars back or a rescheduling but not the full deposit back, and now she's threatening to sue the band. Does she have any legal standing? Is there anything that we should prepare for just in case?

Feel free to ask me any questions for clarification. Thank you in advance.
