Spanish term (edited):
si estamos en gastos
Selected
if we have incurred costs
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

On expenses (refundable)
Whether the hotel booking deposit is on expenses (refundable) or non-refundable.

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

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.
