Refund Policy - Journal Editors

Last updated 02 Aug 2026

This Refund Policy explains how refunds are handled for journal editors using Article Management System, operated by Technology Fist.

AMS hosting and renewal fees are generally non-refundable once provisioned or applied, for the same reason as above. The one-time publication fee is non-refundable once your proceedings page has been activated.

  • Refund requests, where applicable, should be raised with the relevant conference/journal in the first instance, and with Technology Fist for platform-level (hosting/renewal/publication) fees.
  • Approved refunds are returned using the same payment method used for the original payment, where technically possible.
  • This policy does not affect any statutory rights you may have under the law that applies to you.
