Cancellation by Organizer

In the unlikely event that SOPA Global Camp cancels a program due to circumstances beyond our control (force majeure, natural disaster, government restrictions, etc.), participants will receive a full refund of all payments made, including the deposit. We will notify all registered participants as soon as possible via email.

Program Changes

SOPA Global Camp reserves the right to make reasonable changes to the program schedule, instructors, or activities due to operational requirements. Such changes do not constitute grounds for a refund. Significant changes that materially affect the program will be communicated to participants in advance.

Payment Processing Fees

All payments are processed via Payoneer. Any transaction fees, currency conversion costs, or bank charges incurred during payment or refund processing are the responsibility of the participant. Refunds will be issued in USD to the original payment method.

Travel & Visa

SOPA Global Camp is not responsible for travel costs, visa fees, or accommodation expenses outside the camp program. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that covers cancellation. Visa denial does not qualify for a refund of the non-refundable deposit.

How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Request – [Your Name] – [Program Name]". Include your registration details and reason for cancellation. We will process eligible refunds within 14 business days.

By submitting an interest registration or making a deposit payment, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Refund Policy. For questions, contact [email protected].
