The fee for membership is each time valid for a period of 12 months ("working year"), starting on the data of payment of the invoice. The amount of the fee is based on the type of company of the client and/or the number of employees and is agreed upon in the formal registration form that is signed by an authorized agent of the client. In order to determine the number of employees, the details stated in the most recent annual report filed with the National Bank of Belgium are taken into account. If there is a change in the price category (number of employees), this amount can be adjusted.
Membership renewal takes place automatically at the beginning of each new "working year", unless the member cancels the membership in writing at least 30 days before the start of the new working year.
In the case of a cancellation of participation in a paying activity by the client that takes place maximum 10 days before the start of the activity, the client will remain liable for the complete amount. Alternatively, a replacement can be designated.
