Penalty fee:
In cases where the number of new applicants are insufficient API will impose an additional Penalty fee on the special site before the site will be allowed, the amount required by API will be divided equally between all confirmed new applicants/corporate and rewrite candidates who are part of this group. If before the API application deadline, it becomes clear to us that a penalty fee will be incurred, we will advise every one of the amount and each candidate will have the option to withdraw from the exam and forfeit the facilitation fee, after all candidates have advised of their willingness to pay the additional fee, the final amount will be calculated and forwarded to the remaining candidates and, after payment, API will proceed with the site confirmation. If the amount cannot be accommodated amongst the remaining candidates our backing for the site will be withdrawn for that round. All candidates who were willing to pay the initial penalty fee but lost access to the site due to withdrawal by others will not forfeit their facilitation fee.
