The artist must pay the remaining balance on or before November 30, 2023 (11:59 PM). If you do not complete the payment by the deadline, your reservation fee will be forfeited in favor of the organizer, and your reserved booth will be offered to another artist. Your reservation fee is non-refundable and will be used to cover cancellation costs.


Once payment is confirmed by Kapatik Admin, you will receive an SMS and email confirmation within 24 hours of submission.


3. If an exhibitor pays in full and decides to cancel their Kapatik registration, they must do so before October 30, 2023 (11:59 PM) and he will be entitled to a 50% refund of the paid booth package.
