Terms & Conditions of Membership with NAWE
Membership Contract
By submitting your application, you are making an offer to subscribe to membership of NAWE which, if accepted by us, will result in a legally binding contract.
When renewing your membership, any payment is confirmation of the continued acceptance of this contract. You may not transfer any of your rights and obligations under these terms and conditions to another person.
All memberships will run for a period of 12 months.
Membership Renewals
The membership of those who pay their renewal subscription within the period of grace (7 calendar days) is renewed with effect from the date on which the preceding membership term expired. Membership runs continuously, and the right to enjoy benefits, if relevant the insurance cover, is maintained.
Those who pay a subscription, having previously resigned or whose membership has lapsed, for whatever reason, will be re-enrolled as though they are new members and their membership and insurance cover will not be continuous.
Cancellation for new members
You have 28 calendar days from the date of confirmation of your new membership in which to cancel your subscription. You can notify us of your wish to cancel your new membership by emailing admin@nawe.co.uk or by calling on +44 (0) 330 3335 909.
If you wish to exercise your right to cancel your membership within 28 calendar days, NAWE will refund the full cost. Beyond the 28 calendar days cooling off period, no refunds will be offered at any point during the 12-month period.
The above cancellation rights only apply to new membership applications and will not apply to renewals of existing memberships.
Cancellation for current members
Members who advise NAWE that they will not be renewing their membership will be removed from membership with effect from the date on which their paid-up membership term expires, at which time all benefits and rights will cease. Members who neither renew nor advise NAWE of their intention in this regard are automatically lapsed at the end of the one month grace period.
NAWE will only keep your personal data for as long as needed to provide your membership benefits and meet our legal and regulatory obligations. For full details on how long we retain different types of data, please see our privacy policy.
