The registration fee is 290 EUR excl. VAT. The participants agree however to take part on the Award Gala if they were nominated. If no person has been sent an organizational fee will be charged of 250,- EUR excl. 20% VAT. If the amount is not paid before the gala, the Agency for Health & Wellness reserves the right to remove the participant from the nominee list, can also be done after the gala!

If there is a cancellation of the registration or the submission, the amount of Euro 290.00 excluding 20% VAT for each registered category will be automatically charged by the agency for Health & Wellness for various costs incurred. Just in case if the cancellation only takes place after the anonymous test EUR 500.00 excl. 20% VAT must be paid. May also accrue damage for the Agency for Health & Wellness the amount can be also higher according to the actual amount of loss.

The same amount will be charged if the information supplied is found by an anonymous audit to be different from the actual circumstances or fraudulent, since this would result in a deception of the jury and the actual assessment of value cannot be guaranteed in a fair manner among the other participants. 

The questionnaire, which is an extremely important basis of evaluation, must be filled in completely at least 95% of all questions and a mystery test needs to be performed!
