Learn about our refund policy, covering eligibility, conditions, and processes for refunds on services or memberships. Understand the steps involved and key terms for refund requests.

Effective Date: January 1, 2024

Payment Terms: Membership fees are due annually and must be paid in full at the time of registration or renewal.

Strictly Non-Refundable: All membership fees are non-refundable under any circumstances, except as explicitly stated below. Once a payment is made, it cannot be reversed, rescinded, or refunded by the member.

Initial Application Only: In the event that the World Alpagut Federation cancels a new application, the initial fee will be refunded within 14 days from the cancellation date. This is the only exception, which applies solely to first-time applicants canceled by the Federation.

Acknowledgment of Policy: By proceeding with payment, members confirm their agreement to this Refund Policy and waive any rights to dispute charges with their bank, Stripe, PayPal, or any other payment processor.

Prohibition of Chargebacks: Any attempt to initiate a chargeback or dispute a payment through Stripe, PayPal, or other channels is a direct violation of this policy.

• Contesting Unauthorized Chargebacks: Any chargeback or dispute initiated in violation of this Refund Policy will be actively contested by Alpagut Federation, providing the payment processor with a record of this policy and the member’s agreement to it.
• Consequences of Unauthorized Chargebacks: Members who initiate chargebacks contrary to this policy may face suspension or termination of their membership and be disqualified from future applications or renewals.
