Payments & Contracts

KCS operates on a Net 30 payment basis, which means approved payments are processed within 30 days after the event, service completion, or receipt of any required invoice/payment information.

This applies to payments for dancers, judges, vendors, staff, contractors, or other approved event-related services unless a different payment timeline is written in the agreement.

Net 30 allows KCS time to confirm that services were completed, process event revenue, review payment details, and complete accounting properly.

No. Net 30 means payment may be issued any time within 30 days. In some cases, payment may be processed sooner, but KCS reserves up to 30 days to complete payment.

To avoid delays, the person being paid must provide any required payment information, invoice, tax form, or reimbursement details requested by KCS.

Missing or incorrect information may delay payment.

If an approved payment has not been received by the 31st day, the approved payee may submit a Payment Status Inquiry through the KCS website.

KCS will review whether any delay may be related to missing payment information, processing issues, invoice details, tax/payment requirements, banking/payment-provider delays, internal review, or other administrative issues.

Submitting a Payment Status Inquiry does not automatically confirm that payment is owed. KCS will review the request against the applicable agreement, approved role, completed services, event records, and payment information on file.

Any payment hold, reduction, denial, or forfeiture is subject to applicable law and any written agreement. Nothing in this policy changes the terms of any written agreement signed by KCS.
