Terms & Conditions

Each hackathon on HackathonWallah may require an entry fee that will be prominently displayed during registration. All fees must be paid in full through the supported payment methods before your participation is confirmed.

• Fees are non-transferable between events unless otherwise stated.
• Late payments or failed transactions will result in automatic cancellation of your spot.
• Additional team members must register and pay individually unless the event description specifies a bundled team pricing model.

We are committed to providing a respectful, inclusive environment. Participants must uphold professional conduct throughout the entire hackathon. The following behaviour is prohibited:

• Harassment, discrimination, or abusive language of any kind.
• Submission of plagiarised, stolen, or previously published work.
• Attempting to compromise platform security, manipulate results, or disrupt other participants.

Violation of the code of conduct may result in immediate disqualification, removal from the event, and forfeiture of fees and prizes.

Unless otherwise stated in the hackathon brief, participants retain ownership of the code, designs, and intellectual property they create during the event. By submitting a project, you grant HackathonWallah and the organising partners a non-exclusive licence to showcase your work for marketing, judging, and archival purposes.

Some hackathons may include sponsor-specific IP terms. Any additional clauses will be clearly mentioned on the registration page and must be accepted before participation.

HackathonWallah offers rewards for every valid submission and tiered prizes for top-performing teams. To remain eligible for prizes:

• You must submit your project before the official deadline.
• Your solution must be your team’s original work created during the event.
• You must comply with all judging criteria and documentation requirements outlined in the event brief.

Prizes are typically disbursed within 30 business days after final results are announced. HackathonWallah may request tax information or identity verification if required by law prior to releasing awards.

Our standard policy is that entry fees are non-refundable once registration is completed. Exceptions may be granted under the circumstances described in our Refund Policy. Participants may request withdrawal before the event start time; however, refunds are granted at the sole discretion of HackathonWallah.

HackathonWallah reserves the right to cancel or reschedule events. In such cases, affected participants will be notified promptly and offered refunds or transfer options to future hackathons.

You agree to use the HackathonWallah platform responsibly. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access or suspected breach.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or exhibit suspicious behaviour that threatens the integrity of the platform or community.

HackathonWallah provides hackathon programs on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. While we strive to ensure uninterrupted service, we do not guarantee that access to the platform or event resources will be free from errors, bugs, or downtime.

We are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your participation, inability to participate, or decisions based on information presented during the hackathons.
