Payouts and money

# Refundable fee

An evaluation fee a firm returns under stated conditions - usually with the first payout after a trader reaches the funded stage. Where it exists it is a term of the programme, not a consumer refund right.

GFN’s figure

GFN does not advertise a fee refunded on your first payout. The fee is a one-time purchase with no subscription and no resets to buy - and separately, refund eligibility on a purchase follows the published refund policy and the Terms & Conditions.

- **Fee structure**: One-time, no subscription
- **Resets for sale**: None
- **Purchase refunds**: Per the refund policy and applicable consumer law

In detail

## Refundable fee, explained

A refundable fee is a marketing structure as much as a financial one: the firm keeps the money from every attempt that does not reach funding, and returns it on the ones that do. Check whether the refund is automatic, whether it survives a breach, and whether it applies to add-ons.

It is a separate question from a consumer refund, which is about the purchase itself rather than about performance.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Refund policy](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/refund-policy) - The published terms under which a firm will return the purchase price of an evaluation. Rights are usually strongest before the account has been accessed and narrow sharply once trading has begun.
- [Evaluation fee](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/evaluation-fee) - The one-time price of an assessment. It is what the trader is genuinely risking - no customer capital is exposed on a simulated account - and it is the number to compare between firms per dollar of allocation.
- [Activation fee](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/activation-fee) - A charge some firms apply when a passed evaluation is converted into a funded account. It is separate from the evaluation fee, which is why it is so often missed when headline prices are compared.
- [Account reset](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/account-reset) - Paying to return a failed or drawn-down evaluation to its starting balance rather than buying a new account. It is a recurring revenue line at firms that sell it, and a real cost to track.
- [Chargeback](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/chargeback) - A payment reversal requested from a card issuer rather than from the merchant. It is a fraud remedy, and using it as a substitute for a refund request is treated as a serious breach by every prop firm.
