3.2 Application Process. In order to participate in a Programme and / or access a Programme and Programme Contents, you may be required to complete an online application form for your desired Programme, which if applicable, can be found at the relevant link on our website (“Application”). Further information on the Application process for some of our Programmes can be found at https://newtonprogram.vc/fellowship/ for the Fellowship, and https://newtonprogram.vc/fundamentals/ for Fundamentals. Your Application shall be processed by our third-party partner, Be Applied Ltd (“Applied”). We may approve or reject your Application at our sole and absolute discretion.

Further information on the Eligibility Criteria can be found at: https://newtonprogram.vc/faqs .

Application Forms are assessed ‘blindly’ and Newton’s, Applied’s and any Partner’s (collectively, “Reviewers“) assessment of each Application Form is subject to the Reviewers’ sole and absolute discretion. Your application is not confirmed until we and / or Applied have confirmed your place by email. A legally binding agreement shall come into existence once you have received a confirmation of selection and approval email (“Approval Email”) (upon receipt of which you are obligated to pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms). If you pay for a Programme prior to us sending you an Approval Email, we shall refund such Fees to you if we subsequently do not accept your application.

3.4 It is vital to check carefully the details of your Application / booking prior to submission. The Approval Email is issued based on the details of your Application and you must let us know immediately if any information appears to be incorrect or incomplete. This email may be sent to your spam inbox so please ensure you check there too. If you need to cancel or change your Application details at any point after receipt of your Approval Email, you may have to pay amendment or cancellation costs, which may be as much as the total cost of the application for a Programme.
3.5 Changes to our offering. We may adapt, eliminate and alter our available Programmes from time to time.

Failure to do so may result in our refusal to permit you access to the Network.
5. ATTENDANCE
5.1 Commitment. Depending on the duration and structure of the Programme, participants may need to commit to attending all Sessions or meeting specific attendance requirements. This ensures that participants derive the maximum benefit from the respective Programme and contribute to a collaborative learning environment.
5.2 Fellowship. You must attend all Sessions for the Fellowship Programme, which includes evening activities, set out by the Programme team, in advance of the relevant Session taking place. You are responsible for reading all Programme communications to ensure the appropriate travel and accommodation arrangements are made and to ensure you can be excused from work arrangements while the respective Sessions are taking place. Missing a whole module will prevent you from completing the Programme and receiving a full certificate. If you miss multiple Sessions within a module across the Programme, the Programme team will decide, at their discretion, whether you are deemed to have completed the Programme.
5.3Fundamentals. You are expected to attend all online Sessions during the Programme. Session times are shared in advance of the Programme commencing and you are expected to attend the entire Session, attend additional Sessions to complete activities and where possible, attend additional Sessions for extended learning and social opportunities. Missing a whole module will prevent you from completing the Programme and receiving a full certificate. If you miss multiple Sessions within a module across the Programme, the Programme team will decide, at their discretion, whether you are deemed to have completed the Programme.
5.4. Non-attendance. If you are unable to attend a Programme due to unforeseen circumstances or an emergency, it is important to communicate your situation to the Programme team as soon as possible, providing any necessary supporting documentation, and requesting any available options for rescheduling, refunds, or alternative participation methods, such as remote attendance or accessing Programme materials online, which shall be considered by the Programme team. We may have specific policies in place for handling certain situations. Here are some common mitigating circumstances that can arise:
a. Personal illness or injury: if you are facing an unexpected illness or injury that prevents you from attending the Programme, inform the Programme team and provide any necessary medical documentation or proof.
b. Family emergencies: in the case of a family emergency, such as the illness or hospitalisation of a close family member, a death in the family, or a significant personal crisis, please notify the Programme team promptly and provide any relevant details or documentation.
c. Work-related commitments: if work-related obligations or unforeseen professional responsibilities arise, such as a critical project, important client meeting, or work-related travel that cannot be rescheduled, communicate this to the Programme team and explain the situation.
d. Travel restrictions: in cases where travel restrictions are imposed due to factors beyond your control, such as natural disasters, political unrest, or unforeseen transportation disruptions, inform the Programme team and provide any supporting evidence if possible.
e. Visa or immigration issues: if you encounter unexpected challenges with obtaining the necessary visa or immigration documents to attend a Programme, notify the Programme team and seek guidance on possible solutions or alternative arrangements.
