  3. Independent approvalThe Audit & Finance Committee approves the schedule and any exception; the governing body approves the applicable institutional mode before collection.

  5. Receipt and audit trailPayments are receipted to the case and program record, reconciled to the ledger and disclosed only at the publication level authorized by the privacy and registry rules.

Rules for payment, outcome and refunds

  • A fee, if applicable, pays only for the stated review work and never guarantees approval, a favorable status, legal recognition or a government result.
  • The written quote must identify any excluded third-party expenses and state whether additional work requires separate approval.
  • No completion-verification work should begin before the applicant accepts the written scope and the applicable payment arrangements are confirmed.
  • Refund, withdrawal, waiver and complaint terms must be stated in the applicable approved rules and written quote before any payment is requested.

Legal and regulatory controls

  • Authority and consumer protection: quotes identify GPRCC as a private review framework and do not describe a registry record as a statutory filing, government approval or legal representation.
  • Anti-bribery and conflicts: staff, reviewers and committee members must disclose conflicts and may not accept referral payments, gifts or outcome-linked compensation.
  • Financial crime controls: payer identity, sanctions screening, source-of-funds checks and transaction records apply where required by the governing institution or payment provider.
  • Tax and currency: the quote states the billing currency, applicable indirect taxes, conversion method, bank or processor charges and the party responsible for each amount.
  • Privacy and retention: financial, identity and evidence records are collected only for the stated purpose, access-controlled, retained under the published schedule and disclosed under the Privacy Notice.
  • Accessibility and equal treatment: fee decisions and waivers must use published criteria and cannot depend on viewpoint, nationality, religion, political affiliation or protected status.

Exemptions and public-interest support

Possible eligibility categories include public-interest preservation, accessibility projects, nonprofit educational use, documented hardship and cooperation instruments. Applicants must submit the same evidence needed for the underlying program plus the exemption request. GPRCC must publish aggregate waiver reporting without exposing private financial information.
