## **Refund mechanism**

For IDO on Startup Pad we apply the 24-hour refund mechanism as follows:

* The refund mechanism will apply to all participants in any tier and in any pool
* The refund mechanism will last 24 hours from TGE (the first claiming time)
* Refund decisions are up to users. Users are supposed to take responsibility for their actions.
* If participants choose to **REFUND,** it means you decide to claim back all your investment.
* If participants choose to **CLAIM,** the refund option will no longer be available.
* If participants do not request the refund during required duration, your status will change to **"Claimable"** (can claim but not yet claimed).
* The refund mechanism cost you zero fee, it is our way to protect community & investors.
