Refund and Payment Policies

Payment Deadline and Registration Policy:

Event Cancellation by Event Partner:

If the Event Partner cancels the event, we are unable to provide refunds to teams that have already made payments. However, paid fees may be applied toward a future Robotics event at Percy L. Julian High School (PJHS).

Withdrawal and Refund Policy:

Once registration is completed, refunds are not available if a Coach/Mentor withdraws or decides not to attend. Teams are advised to make payment only when they are fully committed to attending. Please note that teams unpaid by the deadline will be removed from the registered list without notification.

If a team needs to withdraw after payment has been made, PJHS may consider transferring the registration fee to another PJHS hosted event.
