Accordingly, once enrollment has been formalized, such payments are non-refundable, except in the cases expressly provided for in this section or as required by applicable legislation.

​

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases of voluntary cancellation by the Participant, the amount corresponding to the Spot Reservation, equivalent to one thousand US dollars (USD 1,000), will in any case be non-refundable, in accordance with Section 3.5 of these Terms. This amount will be deducted first from any amount paid by the Participant before calculating the amount that, as applicable, may be subject to refund.

​

13.2. Grounds for refund. A full refund of the amounts effectively paid for tuition shall be available exclusively in the following cases, duly evidenced before Cube Ventures:

​

a) The occurrence of a supervening, unforeseeable, and irresistible force majeure or act of God, duly evidenced through appropriate documentation, that objectively prevents the Participant from attending the Program.

Cube Ventures reserves the right to verify the authenticity, validity, and sufficiency of the documentation submitted to support any of the aforementioned grounds, through reasonable mechanisms it deems pertinent.

​

In all cases, the Participant must provide appropriate documentation supporting the invoked ground. When a refund is applicable, it will be strictly limited to the amount effectively paid for tuition, without any right to recognition of additional expenses, damages, compensation, or interest of any nature.

​

13.3. Voluntary cancellation by the Participant. The Participant may cancel their enrollment through written communication sent to notificaciones@cube.ventures and academy@cube.ventures. The effective cancellation date will be the date on which Cube Ventures receives such communication at the indicated channels.

​

In the event of voluntary cancellation, Cube Ventures may make a partial refund of the amounts effectively paid for tuition, provided the request is received within the timeframes established in this section and after deduction of the Spot Reservation of one thousand US dollars (USD 1,000), which is non-refundable.

​

For purposes of calculating the refund, the refundable base shall be understood as the total amount effectively paid by the Participant, minus the Spot Reservation amount. The maximum refund percentage shall apply to that refundable base, according to the date on which Cube Ventures receives the cancellation request, in accordance with the following table:

​

Cancellation Date - Before September 10, 2026

Maximum Applicable Refund - Up to 80% of the refundable base, after deduction of the USD 1,000 Spot Reservation

e) Logistical, schedule, date, or venue changes that do not entail total cancellation of the Program.

 

f) No refund shall apply for cancellation requests received within the two (2) weeks prior to the Program start, given that, by that time, Cube Ventures will have assumed definitive and irreversible academic, logistical, operational, and institutional commitments for the Program’s execution.

​

13.5. Program cancellation by Cube Ventures. In the event of total Program cancellation by Cube Ventures for reasons not attributable to the Participant, Cube Ventures will refund the amounts effectively paid for tuition, including the Spot Reservation amount, within thirty (30) business days following the communication of the cancellation. Such refund will constitute the sole and exclusive compensation chargeable to Cube Ventures, without generating any right to additional compensation for lost profits, consequential damages, or any other concept.

​

13.6. Changes to the Program schedule. Cube Ventures reserves the right to make adjustments or modifications to the Program’s dates, schedules, academic calendar, order of activities, speakers, physical spaces, or other Program components for academic, logistical, operational reasons, or due to force majeure or acts of God.

In no case shall Cube Ventures be liable for missed flights, accommodation cancellations, or any other damage arising from changes to the schedule or Program calendar.

​

13.7. Spot transfer. The Participant may request the transfer of their spot to another person belonging to the same family, company, business group, or family office, subject to the following conditions:

e) The new Participant must meet all eligibility and profile requirements established for the cohort.

 

f) The transfer does not guarantee the retention of the preferential rate, which will be subject to validation of the new Participant’s profile pursuant to Section 9.

​

Any attempt at transfer that does not comply with the above conditions may result in the cancellation of enrollment without right to a refund.

​

13.8. No transfer in other cases. Outside of what is provided in the preceding section, enrollment in the Program is personal and non-transferable and may not be assigned, exchanged, or transferred to third parties under any circumstances.
