Refund Policy

Refund eligibility depends on the reason for cancellation and the timing of your request:

• Participant-initiated cancellations: requests must be submitted at least 5 days before the scheduled start of the hackathon to qualify for a partial refund.
• Medical or emergency situations: documentation may be required. If approved, a partial or full refund will be issued regardless of timing.
• Event rescheduling or cancellation by HackathonWallah: participants may choose a full refund or transfer their fee to a future hackathon.

Entry fees are non-refundable in the following situations:

• Failure to attend the hackathon without prior notice.
• Disqualification due to violation of the HackathonWallah code of conduct or Terms & Conditions.
• Request submitted after the hackathon has begun.
• Incomplete or missing documentation for emergency-based refund requests.

Approved refunds will be processed as follows:

• Full refund: when HackathonWallah cancels or substantially alters an event, or in documented emergencies approved by our support team.
• 50% refund: when a participant cancels at least 5 days before the event start time for personal reasons.
• No refund: when cancellations occur within 5 days of the event or after it has begun (unless covered by the emergency clause).

Refund requests must be submitted via email to support@hackathonwallah.com with the following details:

• Registered participant name and email.
• Event name and date.
• Reason for refund and supporting documentation (if applicable).

Our team will respond within 5 business days. Once approved, refunds are typically processed within 7-10 business days. Depending on your bank or payment provider, it may take additional time for the amount to reflect.
