However…

If a Contestant “drops” classes/divisions, a credit can be issued. Credit can be used for entry fees, Tan&Glam services, photography packages or tickets to any IPL contest. Any unused credit will expire after one year.
Please be aware that a credit request must be made before the cutoff date (four weeks out from the contest you are transferring from). After this, all fees will be forfeited.
Contestants may transfer entry fees, Tan&Glam services, photography packages or tickets to another IPL contest within the current year/season for a $50 fee.
Contestants may transfer entry fees, Tan&Glam services, photography packages or tickets to another IPL contest to be held during the next year/season for a $100 fee.
Transfers must be requested and payment submitted before the cutoff date (four weeks out from the contest you are transferring from). After this, all fees will be forfeited.
A credit (to be used for a future IPL contest) will be issued to contestants for all fees paid in the event of a contest being postponed, cancelled or having the venue location changed. All transfer fees are waived in this case.

Violation of these policies will result in a life-time ban from participation in future IPL contest events.

IN THE EVENT OF A DRUG-TEST FAILURE OR LIFETIME BAN, ALL OUTSTANDING FEES PAID AND/OR PRO PAYOUT COMPENSATION WILL BE FORFEITED.
