Seller and contact

Sponsor the Journey is operated by LAVON GLOBAL PTY. LTD., ABN 81 633 135 878, under the Operating Labs campaign branding. Contact [email protected] or the private support form. This is an independent campaign, not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI or an event organiser.

What you buy

This is a sponsorship purchase, not an investment or a tax-deductible charitable gift. Your selected offer's benefits and price, displayed before payment, form the purchase. Extra support does not add benefits. Content partnership enquiries are proposals only; they do not purchase a placement or guarantee acceptance. There is no guarantee of audience size, traffic, leads, sales or on-site promotional access.

Prices and payment

All new offers are in USD. Advertised totals include applicable GST; the invoice identifies the tax treatment. Your card issuer may apply its own exchange or other charges. Opening Checkout does not reserve a placement. Ownership changes only after the payment is verified against the current placement quote. We do not charge an additional checkout administration fee.

Takeovers

The first eligible, verified successful claim wins. Each successful takeover doubles the next price, with a final capped purchase of US$100,000 closing the placement. A sponsor cannot buy their own current placement. Takeovers close on 19 September 2026 at 8 pm Melbourne time. A payment completed after closing, a stale concurrent claim or another ineligible paid claim receives a full refund. Provider timestamps determine payment completion; opening Checkout before closing is insufficient.

Displaced-holder refunds

For purchases accepting this version, the displaced holder receives the original payment less the actual original unrecovered Stripe processing fee, limited to 3.5% of that payment plus US$0.30. The maximum deduction is shown before payment. Fees settled in another currency are converted using the original Stripe transaction exchange rate, rounded down to the USD cent. The campaign bears any amount above the cap. There is no additional refund administration fee. The original payment, deduction and refund appear in the portal and refund email. Earlier purchases keep the refund entitlement accepted with that purchase. A refund request or pending status does not mean funds have arrived; provider and bank processing times apply. Disputes pause the placement for review and do not automatically reinstate a previously refunded sponsor.

Artwork and public display

You must have permission to use the submitted names, marks, links and artwork, and grant us the limited permission needed to deliver the purchased campaign benefits. Only approved, funded artwork/profile content is published. Changes can require fresh review. The final physical placement belongs to the eligible holder at takeover close and requires approved artwork by 21 September 2026 at 8 pm Melbourne time. Final garment dimensions and printing depend on the printer's accepted proof. Missing/rejected artwork requires a written resolution before printing; it is not silently printed or substituted. No garment shipment, category exclusivity or paid-ad reuse licence is included unless separately agreed.

Delivery

Fixed offers retain the benefits shown at purchase. Community garment names require payment before artwork lock; the web directory remains the readable record for small names. Each sponsor can follow artwork, approvals, agreed benefits and delivery evidence through secure management access. We will record the agreed content dates, channels and sponsor review deadlines with your sponsorship. Final campaign sales close on 1 October 2026 at midnight Melbourne time (30 September 14:00 UTC).

Cancellation and statutory rights

If we cancel before delivering any purchased benefits, we refund the purchase in full without a card-fee deduction. If only part cannot be delivered, we will contact you to agree an appropriate alternative or refund for the undelivered benefits. Contact support for payment or fulfilment problems. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded. The specific takeover mechanism above does not override those rights.

Privacy and management

Manage sponsorship through the original guest session or a time-limited emailed link; no new account is required. Keep the link private. Billing/contact information and private artwork/support records are not public sponsor content. The published privacy notice explains the providers and purposes involved.
