Refund Policy for Submission Service

YoungCuts' Gold Without A Doubt Submission Service ("Gold Service") is an invitation-only service that provides for refunds, upon filmmaker request, in the event that filmmaker's film is not officially selected for screening by film festivals to which YoungCuts submits filmmakers films. A filmmaker using the Gold Service may request a refund nine months after payment, but no later than twelve months after payment, and provided that filmmaker's film was not officially selected for screening by film festivals to which YoungCuts submits filmmakers films.  Refunds will not be granted on any other basis, nor will they be granted for the Silver, Bronze or any other type of submission service offered by YoungCuts.
