Finalist Withdrawal

1. Commitment Requirement: Upon selection as a finalist, the participant is required to submit the finalist fee as a confirmation of their commitment to the event.

2. Non-Refundable Fee: Once the finalist fee is submitted, it is strictly non-refundable. Finalists are advised to be certain of their participation before making the payment.

3. No Withdrawal Permitted: After submission of the finalist fee, withdrawal from the event is not permitted under any circumstances. This policy is in place to maintain the integrity and organization of the event.

4. Consequences of Withdrawal: If a finalist chooses to withdraw after the fee has been submitted, the organization reserves the right to take appropriate actions. This may include but is not limited to, barring the individual from future events and taking necessary legal actions for misrepresentation of the organization.

Event Cancellation

1. Organizer-Initiated Cancellation: In the unlikely circumstances if the event is cancelled by the organizers, participants will be eligible for a refund.

2. Refund Details: The refund will be a reimbursement of the finalist fee, excluding any promotional expenses incurred and applicable taxes.

3. Exclusions: Promotional expenses and taxes are non-refundable as these costs are typically non-recoverable and have already been allocated towards event promotion.

4. Refund Process: In the event of a cancellation, the organizers will issue a press release to formally announce the cancellation and initiate the refund process. Refunds will be processed promptly, ensuring that all finalists are informed and reimbursed in a timely manner.

This expanded policy aims to provide comprehensive information regarding the cancellation procedures, ensuring transparency and fairness for all participants. It underscores the commitment required from the finalists and the organizers' dedication to handling cancellations professionally.
