10. PAYMENTS & REFUND POLICY:10.1 SUMMER ANALYST TRAINING PROGRAMMEPayment Terms:


1. **Initial Payment:** Participation in the Summer Analyst Training Programme requires an upfront fee, payable at the time of registration. Payment options include a full payment by card through the AmplifyME website, Bank Transfer or PayPal. Split payment options can be facilitated. Access to the programme will only be granted once the full programme fee has been received. If applicants are participating in less than the full three (3) week programme, the full fee will be payable at the time of registration.

2. **Outstanding Payments:** Should a participant choose the split payment option, they are responsible for ensuring that the remaining balance is paid in a timely manner, according to the agreed payment schedule. Failure to complete the payment of the full programme fee will result in the suspension of access to the programme until payment is rectified. Should any payments remain outstanding following a participant's Programme Commencement Date, participants acknowledge their obligation to settle the full outstanding balance promptly upon commencement of the programme or in the instance of split payment, within the agreed timeline. The company expressly reserves the right to initiate appropriate measures to recover any unpaid amounts in the event of non-compliance with these payment terms. For the purposes of these terms and conditions, the “Programme Commencement Date” shall be deemed the first calendar day on which the participant is scheduled to commence participation in the Summer Analyst Training Programme.


Refund Policy:


1. **Cooling-Off Period:** Participants have a two-week cooling-off period starting from the initial payment date, during which they are eligible to receive a full refund. To initiate the refund process, the applicant must contact a representative of AmplifyME in writing by email within this timeframe to discuss their decision and arrange for the refund.

2. **Post Cooling-Off Period:** After the conclusion of the cooling-off period, participants who withdraw from the programme will be entitled to a refund of fifty percent of the programme fee paid.

Participants who have chosen to pay through a split payment method will be entitled to a refund of up to fifty percent of the programme fee.

a. Retain the original enrolment date and attend the Summer Analyst Training Programme as initially scheduled, or
