5. Terminating Membership

Membership is to be renewed annually in January. The Irish Business Association will email each Member once the membership is coming up to renewal. If a Member does not pay the annual membership fee by the 31st March of the renewal year, then the membership is not continued and the Member will not have the benefit of membership.

The Irish Business Association reserves the right to expel Members or to prevent any Member from participating in any Event or from renewing membership if the Member puts the organisation into disrepute or if a Member continuously fails to attend events which she has signed up to or if the Member is misusing the membership forum or the discussion forum (for example, using the discussion forum to send chain letters).

If, for whatever reason, a Member wishes to terminate their Membership, they must give 28 days notice of this in writing to the Irish Business Association. We regret we are unable to offer refunds if membership is cancelled for whatever reason before the renewal date unless we receive notice of cancellation within 14 days of taking out membership.

Members can sign up to an event via the Website event booking system. Payment for attendance at an Event can be made either online by credit card payment, or by cheque as per the cheque payment procedure.

If notification is received from a Member at least 72 hours prior to the event, a full refund of Event attendance monies will be given.
