If the application is canceled due to any reason after the issuance of the DS-7002 Form, Participant will not be entitled to any refund. A SEVIS number is generated at the same time as the DS-7002 is issued, meaning a profile has been created for the participant in SEVIS, though they will not have access to it until they have signed and returned their DS-7002.</li><li><strong>Withdrawal After Issuance of Form DS-7002 due to COVID-19. </strong>If the Candidate withdraws from the program due to COVID19 after the issuance of Form DS-7002 with the SEVIS number, the Candidate will not be entitled to any refund.

These delays include but are not limited to: visa denial, lack of availability for an appointment at local US Embassy/Consulate and cancellation of schedule by the Embassy/Consulate that may sometimes result in shorter programs. In such a case, Odyssey International Exchange will not refund any amount for any loss of program time.</li><li><strong>Cancellation After Arrival in the United States.</strong> If the program is cancelled after arrival in the US or the participant is laid off or fired by the American Host Company for any reason, including circumstances arising from COVID-19, Participant will not be entitled to any refund.</li><li><strong>Cancellation by the Host Company. </strong>If the Host Company cancels or withdraws from the program after the issuance of the DS-7002 and before the start date of the Candidate's program, the Candidate will not be entitled to any refund. The Candidate may delay their program and keep their payment as credit for a future program.</li><li><strong>Cancellation by the Host Company due to COVID-19. </strong>If the Host Company cancels the placement or withdraws from the program prior to the start date of the Candidate's program stated on Form DS 7002/2019, the Candidate will not be entitled to any refund. The Candidate may delay their program and keep their payment as credit for a future program.</li><li><strong>Overstay. </strong>Upon application, Candidate must disclose illegal status of any relative presently in the United States, if any. Similarly, candidate must disclose any previous overstay or similar U.S. Visa infractions to Odyssey at the time of application. Should Candidate be denied a visa for failure to disclose to Odyssey that his/her family members or the applicant themselves have previously overstayed a US visa or been cited for any visa or immigration related infraction, Candidate will not be entitled to any refund.</li></ol><p style='text-align:justify;'>By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read and understood all sections of this terms and conditions document and agree to abide by its contents and instructions.

Any time trained over 40 hours per week requires overtime pay as applicable under employment laws in my host State.

Do not arrive at your host company assuming they will provide housing or asking for assistance with finding housing.</li><li>It is common practice in the United States for property owners to request first and last months' rent as well as a security deposit equal to one month's rent in order to reserve and move into a rented apartment (total of 3 months' rent). Therefore, all applicants should have sufficient funds to cover these initial expenses which will vary depending on location.</li></ol><p><u>SECTION 11: REFUNDS</u></p><ol><li><strong>Withdrawal After Application is Submitted.</strong> If an application is withdrawn from the program due to any reason after the application file and fees have been submitted, Participant will be entitled to a refund of the program fee minus Six Hundred and Ninety Five Dollars ($695.00 USD) which will be withheld and account for the administrative costs of Odyssey.

If the application is canceled due to any reason after the issuance of the DS-7002 Form, Participant will not be entitled to any refund. A SEVIS number is generated at the same time as the DS-7002 is issued, meaning a profile has been created for the participant in SEVIS, though they will not have access to it until they have signed and returned their DS-7002.</li><li><strong>Withdrawal After Issuance of Form DS-7002 due to COVID-19. </strong>If the Candidate withdraws from the program due to COVID19 after the issuance of Form DS-7002 with the SEVIS number, the Candidate will not be entitled to any refund. The Candidate may delay their program and keep their payment as credit for a future program.</li><li><strong>Embassy/Consulate Denial.</strong> In case of a visa denial at the US Embassy, Participant must inform Odyssey within 5 business days of denial and submit the following:<ol style='list-style-type:lower-latin;'><li>A scanned picture of the candidate's DS-2019 with the word VOID written across the center in ink.</li><li>A scanned copy of the denial letter from the Embassy proving the applicant was denied their visa.<br>Upon receipt of confirmation, Candidate’s SEVIS profile will be cancelled and the DS-2019 will be unusable. The refund will be processed within 30 days after receipt of the required documentation and refund request. Participant will be entitled to a refund of the program fee minus Six Hundred and Ninety Five Dollars ($695.00 USD) which will be withheld and account for the administrative costs of Odyssey.</li></ol></li><li><strong>Embassy/Consulate Delays. </strong>Odyssey International Exchange cannot not be held financially responsible for any delays at the US Embassy/Consulate level that are beyond Odyssey International Exchange’s control. These delays include but are not limited to: visa denial, lack of availability for an appointment at local US Embassy/Consulate and cancellation of schedule by the Embassy/Consulate that may sometimes result in shorter programs. In such a case, Odyssey International Exchange will not refund any amount for any loss of program time.</li><li><strong>Cancellation After Arrival in the United States.</strong> If the program is cancelled after arrival in the US or the participant is laid off or fired by the American Host Company for any reason, including circumstances arising from COVID-19, Participant will not be entitled to any refund.</li><li><strong>Cancellation by the Host Company. </strong>If the Host Company cancels or withdraws from the program after the issuance of the DS-7002 and before the start date of the Candidate's program, the Candidate will not be entitled to any refund. The Candidate may delay their program and keep their payment as credit for a future program.</li><li><strong>Cancellation by the Host Company due to COVID-19. </strong>If the Host Company cancels the placement or withdraws from the program prior to the start date of the Candidate's program stated on Form DS 7002/2019, the Candidate will not be entitled to any refund. The Candidate may delay their program and keep their payment as credit for a future program.</li><li><strong>Overstay. </strong>Upon application, Candidate must disclose illegal status of any relative presently in the United States, if any. Similarly, candidate must disclose any previous overstay or similar U.S. Visa infractions to Odyssey at the time of application. Should Candidate be denied a visa for failure to disclose to Odyssey that his/her family members or the applicant themselves have previously overstayed a US visa or been cited for any visa or immigration related infraction, Candidate will not be entitled to any refund.</li></ol><p style='text-align:justify;'> </p><p style='text-align:justify;'>By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read and understood all sections of this terms and conditions document and agree to abide by its contents and instructions.

If I am terminated, I may be required to return home immediately without a refund.</li><li>I understand that some companies require drug tests. If I fail a drug test I understand that I will be terminated and will need to leave the country according to ODYSSEY's instructions.</li><li>I understand that the training plan (DS-7002) that I signed is a contract and guarantees both myself and my host company the terms and conditions included within.</li><li>I understand that I will receive a minimum of 32 hours of training per week and up to 40 hours. Any time trained over 40 hours per week requires overtime pay as applicable under employment laws in my host State.

Do not arrive at your host company assuming they will provide housing or asking for assistance with finding housing.</li><li>It is common practice in the United States for property owners to request first and last months' rent as well as a security deposit equal to one month's rent in order to reserve and move into a rented apartment (total of 3 months' rent).

The refund will be processed within 30 days after receipt of the required documentation and refund request. Participant will be entitled to a refund of the program fee minus Six Hundred and Ninety Five Dollars ($695.00 USD) which will be withheld and account for the administrative costs of Odyssey.</li></ol></li><li><strong>Embassy/Consulate Delays. </strong>Odyssey International Exchange cannot not be held financially responsible for any delays at the US Embassy/Consulate level that are beyond Odyssey International Exchange’s control. These delays include but are not limited to: visa denial, lack of availability for an appointment at local US Embassy/Consulate and cancellation of schedule by the Embassy/Consulate that may sometimes result in shorter programs.
