1. Parties
This Agreement is entered into between Vantage Aviation Group ("VAG", "we") and the candidate identified in the candidate portal at the time of acceptance ("Candidate", "you").
2. Purpose of the Stage 03 Fee
The Stage 03 fee ("Fee"), as disclosed to you in writing prior to payment, is consideration for VAG to provide you access to a licensed third-party aviation aptitude assessment battery (such as COMPASS or ADAPT) and the related proctoring, scoring and administration services described in the program documentation ("Assessment Service").
The Fee is the sole consideration for the Assessment Service. It is not a deposit, application fee, tuition, or pre-payment toward training.
3. No Guarantee of Sponsorship
Payment of the Fee does not guarantee progression to subsequent stages, selection for sponsorship, or admission to the partner academy. The VAG Cadet Program is competitive and selection is made by VAG in its sole discretion based on the totality of Candidate performance across all five stages.
4. Non-Refundable
The Fee is non-refundable once the Assessment Service has been provisioned to you, regardless of (a) the score you achieve, (b) whether you are invited to subsequent stages, (c) whether you are ultimately selected for sponsorship, or (d) any voluntary withdrawal on your part after the Assessment Service has begun.
If VAG cancels your assessment slot for reasons within VAG's control before the Assessment Service has been delivered, VAG will refund the Fee in full.
5. Conduct & Integrity
You agree to attempt the Assessment Service personally, without third-party assistance, unauthorized aids, or impersonation. VAG conducts a proctored re-assessment at Stage 05 specifically to verify the integrity of Stage 03 results. Any discrepancy may, at VAG's discretion, result in disqualification, forfeiture of the Fee, and a permanent bar from future intakes.
6. Data & Privacy
Your assessment results, application data, and identifying documents are processed in accordance with our privacy policy and applicable data-protection laws. Results may be shared with VAG's licensed assessment provider and partner academy strictly for the purposes of administering your application.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, VAG's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement is limited to the amount of the Fee actually paid by you.
8. Acceptance
You accept this Agreement by checking the acceptance box in the candidate portal immediately prior to payment. Your electronic acceptance has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
