CHAARG Membership Contract, Terms, + Conditions
Membership Contract, Terms + Conditions
By purchasing a CHAARG membership, I agree to the following terms and conditions as a member of my CHAARG Chapter:
Membership Fee:
Chapter Members are required to pay a membership fee that encompasses both a National dues fee and Chapter dues fee. The National dues fee is $36/quarter or $54/semester. Chapter executive teams choose the amount they’d like their Chapter dues fee to be in addition to the National dues fee. Memberships for Fall Semester and Quarter open on June 1 of every calendar year. Memberships for Spring Semester and Winter Quarter open on November 11 of every calendar year. Memberships for Spring Quarter open on March 1 of every calendar year. No refunds will be granted as the customer agrees to in our terms + conditions during checkout. Failure to pay the membership fee for each semester or quarter will result in immediate membership termination.
Membership Benefits:
All Membership benefits are designated by the particular CHAARG Chapter and outlined in the specific CHAARG Chapter Constitution and Bylaws.
Membership Eligibility:
CHAARG does not categorically deny membership to an individual based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, veteran’s status, or the presence of a disability. Chapter memberships are open to university students as set forth in guidelines by that university and by the CHAARG Chapter’s Constitution and Bylaws. You must attend that university as either an undergraduate student or graduate student in order to be a member of that CHAARG Chapter.
Statement of Liability:
CHAARG, the CHAARG Chapter, or any CHAARG members will not under any circumstances be liable for exemplary damages resulting from participation in CHAARG activities, due to any cause, even if CHAARG has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any event, CHAARG’s total liability to you for all the damages [whether based on contract, torte, or other theories] will be limited to the amount you actually paid for participation in CHAARG activities. Some states + jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages so the above limitation may not apply to you. With purchasing a CHAARG membership, you are agreeing to the CHAARG Accident Waiver and Release of Liability.
Non-Solicitation Covenant:
During your CHAARG membership, you will not directly or indirectly solicit business from, or attempt to sell, license, or provide products/services to any member of CHAARG. This includes but is not limited to: promoting coupon codes, discounts, + other commission-based services for personal monetary gain.
Termination of Membership:
Memberships shall be terminated by the failure to pay dues, if a member breaks any of the CHAARG or CHAARG Chapter rules, regulations, policies, and/or procedures, and/ or if a member breaks any student conduct policies at their university and/or any rules, regulations, policies, and/or procedures of the instructor or coach of Chapter events to ensure the well-being and safety of members at events.
CHAARG or the CHAARG Chapter may terminate membership and may ban the member from accessing CHAARG events indefinitely without notice and with immediate effect if the member’s conduct is deemed to be injurious to other members of CHAARG or to the character or interest of CHAARG.
Memberships shall be terminated by the process outlined in the CHAARG Chapter’s Constitution and Bylaws. Membership termination is to follow the process of the University and is at the discretion of the executive team. Appealing Membership termination can be done through the process outlined in the CHAARG Chapter Constitution and Bylaws or by direct appeal.
By purchasing a membership, I understand that membership may be terminated for violating any of the terms outlined in this agreement or in the CHAARG Chapter Constitution and Bylaws, which could include disciplinary action up to and including expulsion from CHAARG.
Acceptance:
I acknowledge and accept the terms and conditions of membership outlined in the above contract as well as outlined in my particular Chapter’s Constitution and Bylaws. I understand that this is a binding agreement.
