1. General Refund Policy

Entry fees paid for Motion Max Media Awards are generally non-refundable once a submission has been uploaded and payment confirmed. This policy exists because our operational costs (platform maintenance, judge coordination, venue booking) are incurred upon receipt of each entry. We encourage all participants to review the competition rules, categories, and their work carefully before submitting.

2. Non-Refundable Circumstances

The following situations are not eligible for refunds: (a) Withdrawal of an entry after upload; (b) Disqualification due to rule violations; (c) Change of mind after submission; (d) Failure to meet eligibility requirements that were clearly stated; (e) Technical issues on the participant's end (poor internet, device failure); (f) Requests made after the submission deadline.

3. Eligible Refund Circumstances

Refunds will be processed in the following situations: (a) Duplicate payment for the same submission (verified by our payment team); (b) Technical errors on our platform that resulted in a double charge; (c) Payment processed but submission not recorded due to a platform error; (d) Competition cancellation by Motion Max (full refund of all entry fees). Refund requests must be submitted within 7 days of the payment date.

4. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, email refunds@motionmax.in with: your registered email address, submission ID, payment transaction ID, reason for refund request, and supporting evidence (screenshots, bank statements). Our team will review your request within 5 business days and respond with a decision. Approved refunds are processed within 7–10 business days to the original payment method.

5. Competition Cancellation

In the unlikely event that Motion Max cancels Season 3 entirely, all entry fees will be refunded in full within 30 days of the cancellation announcement. Motion Max will not be liable for any additional costs incurred by participants (travel, accommodation, etc.) in connection with the competition.

6. Payment Disputes

If you believe you have been incorrectly charged, please contact us at refunds@motionmax.in before initiating a chargeback with your bank. Unauthorized chargebacks may result in account suspension. We are committed to resolving payment disputes fairly and promptly.
