Pricing Policy
AS ALSO STATED, AND REPRODUCED FROM THE TERMS & CONDITIONS
10.1. The Kyoorius Creative Awards follows a tiered pricing structure, defined by the date of submission of entries, as either “First Chance” (for entries submitted by 3 April 2025) or “Last Chance” (for entries submitted between 4 April 2025 through the final deadline of 17 April 2025). Pricing for entries under the Advertising, Craft, Experience & Engagement, Entertainment, Sector-Specific and Creativity For Good tracks is INR 13,000/- per entry under First Chance, and INR 14,500/- per entry under Last Chance. Entries to the Regional Advertising track are priced at INR 7,000/- per entry under First Chance, and at INR 8,000/- per entry under Last Chance. All indicated prices will bear 18% GST as applicable. There are no fees to enter the Zee Equality Award track.
10.2. Each entrant shall pay the fee applicable for their number of entries at the time of submitting their entries. This is enabled via PhonePe payment gateway, including Credit/Debit Card, Netbanking, UPI or a Bank Transfer. All payments against the entries must be received by Kyoorius not more than 24 hours after the final deadline to submit entries. Kyoorius reserves the right to withdraw any entries for which the payment has not been received as per the term mentioned above.
10.3. POs and Credit Periods: For companies where Purchase Orders are applicable or Approval Systems are in place, Kyoorius requires the Purchase Order or Written Approval to be issued at maximum up to 24 hours after the final deadline to submit entries. Without a Purchase Order or Written Approval, Kyoorius reserves the right to withdraw the relevant entries.
10.4. Point of Contact: In the case that the individual that creates the entry leaves the company and the payment against judged entries has not been received, Kyoorius reserves the right to hold both, the entrant and the company liable for the dues.
10.5. Invoicing: As per Goods and Services Tax Rules of India, Kyoorius is mandated to raise e-invoices via the GST Portal for all company sales. The details on an e-invoice can not be changed after the invoice has been raised. Therefore, upon submitting your entries, the relevant registered Email ID will receive a system-generated Proforma Invoice populated with details as provided by the entrant. Within 48 hours of the Proforma Invoice being generated, Kyoorius will raise the e-invoice exactly as per the Proforma Invoice. It is the responsibility of the entrant to ensure that the details are correctly entered and is cross-checked by their Finance/Accounts team. In exigent circumstances, the need to change an e-invoice will be dealt by cancelling the e-invoice via a credit note, and raising a new e-invoice. Kyoorius will bear no liabilities arising from paid or unpaid GST, reversed or unreversed ITC, or any other losses arising from missing invoicing information from the entrants’ end.
10.6. Cancellations and Refunds: Entrants are eligible to cancel entries for the Kyoorius Creative Awards until the final deadline for the submission of entries. The request for cancellation should be received by Kyoorius before the final deadline for the submission of entries. If an entrant cancels their entries before the final deadline for submission of entries, they will be eligible for a full refund for their entries except the GST amount. Any requests for cancellations or refunds received after the final deadline will not be eligible for a refund from Kyoorius. All refunds by Kyoorius will be issued within 30 working days of receiving the relevant bank details. Kyoorius reserves the right to amend this cancellation and refund policy at its own discretion from time to time.
10.7. Physical Materials: For all entries where the entrant is sending physical materials to Kyoorius for the judging and jury process, all courier and shipping costs must be borne by the entrant at the time of shipping. It is the entrant’s responsibility to ensure that each physical material is packed carefully and the Kyoorius issued QR Code and badge is printed and clearly pasted on the material/packaging. Kyoorius is not liable for any damages or losses incurred to or on the material during shipping and transit. Kyoorius cannot guarantee a return of the physical materials post judging.
11. Rejection and Withdrawal of Entries and Refund Rights
11.1. Kyoorius reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to withdraw an Entry if the Entry:
a. is submitted after the final deadline for submission; or
b. does not comply with the Submission Guide as to media and format; or
c. does not meet the Criteria specified in these Awards Rules; or
d. is in breach of, or ineligible under, these Awards Rules and/or the Submission Guide; or
e. has not arrived at the Kyoorius offices after the final deadline for physical materials to be received.
11.2. Kyoorius reserves the right to withdraw an Entry from the Kyoorius Creative Awards if it knows or has reasonable grounds to believe that the work was created expressly to enter Awards. The offending entry will be referred to the Kyoorius Executive Advisory Group for determination in its sole discretion. An Entry may be deemed to have been created expressly to enter Awards if, for example, the work has only run once, has only featured on late night television, or has only run because the agency produced a single advert and paid to run it themselves.
11.3. If an Entrant wishes to withdraw an Entry for any reason, an Entrant must give written notice to Kyoorius by an email to info@kyoorius.com, providing sufficient detail to enable Kyoorius to identify the relevant Entry. Entry fees will only be refunded where an Entrant withdraws their Entry within 48 hours of setting up the Entry and making payment by credit card or raising an invoice to pay by bank transfer (see Rule 2.7). Refunds will be credited back to the credit card or bank account used to make the original payment, minus any bank and credit card processing fees. If an Entrant who elects to pay by bank transfer withdraws the Entry within 48 hours of the invoice being raised, but has not yet paid the entry fee, the Entrant will no longer be liable to pay the entry fee. If an Entrant withdraws their Entry after the 48-hour deadline, no refunds will be granted and payment on any outstanding invoices will still be payable to Kyoorius. No refunds of entry fees will be made except as expressly provided for in this Rule 11.3.
11.4. Kyoorius shall have no obligation to refund payments made for either individual Entries or groups of Entries that are withdrawn under this Rule 11.
11.5. If for any reason an Elephant-winning Entry is withdrawn, all production and other costs incurred by Kyoorius relating to the Entry will be charged to the Entrant. By way of example (but without limitation), if the withdrawn Entry has already been included in the Kyoorius Awards Annual or in any promotional and other materials relating to the Kyoorius Creative Awards, Kyoorius may have incurred costs in having the Entry removed from such materials.
