Payment & Cancellation Policy
To reserve your spot on the trip, a $500 non-refundable deposit per person is required at the time of registration.
This deposit will be fully refunded only if the trip is canceled by the Federation, for any reason.
A final decision regarding whether the trip will move forward will be made approximately one month prior to departure.
If the trip is confirmed, final payment will be due at that time.
We strongly recommend participants only pay the $500 deposit at this stage. Should you choose to pay the full trip cost now and the trip is later canceled by the Federation, including for reasons beyond our control (e.g., security concerns, travel restrictions, or other force majeure events), only the $500 deposit will be refunded.
Please wait until the Federation gives the green light before making any personal travel arrangements (such as booking flights).
