12. Refund Policy

Refund Eligibility

Participants who successfully complete a challenge will be eligible for a refund equal to 125% of the initial fee paid to enter the challenge, in accordance with the specific terms and conditions of that challenge. This reward reflects our commitment to recognizing and nurturing trading talent.

Exceptions to Refund Eligibility

To maintain the integrity and fairness of our challenges, there are specific circumstances under which refunds will not be granted, even if the challenge is successfully completed:

a. Use of Expert Advisors (EAs):
Participants who use Expert Advisors (EAs) during the challenge will not be eligible for a refund. Our challenges are designed to assess individual trading skills and strategies, and the use of EAs undermines this objective.
(Risk management EAs are exempt from this rule.)

b. Use of the Free Retry Option in the Legend and Red Plan:
Participants who enroll in our advanced challenges and use the free retry option will not be eligible for a refund after successfully completing the challenge. The free retry option provides participants with an additional opportunity to demonstrate their trading skills without financial penalty for an unsuccessful attempt. Using this option excludes participants from refund eligibility in order to preserve fairness and the competitive spirit of our challenges.

This policy ensures that our challenges remain fair and focused on individual trading mastery.
