MEMBERSHIP TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please read these Terms carefully before applying to become a Member of ILA. By accepting your application to become a Member and allowing you to use our Services, you agree to follow these Terms.
SUBSCRIPTION:
When you submit your Application Form online, or send us your application details by post, or email, you are offering to subscribe to our Services according to these Terms.
Our acceptance of your offer will take place once:
• our internal checks have been completed to our reasonable satisfaction; and
• we confirm in writing (usually by e-mail to the e-mail address specified in your Application Form) our acceptance of your application to be a Member and send the related invoice,
at which point a contract will come into existence on these Terms and Conditions between you and ILA (whether or not you have specifically signed these Terms) (the “Commencement Date“).
You will be definitively admitted as a Member after the payment of the membership fee.
Subject to any early cancellation or termination rights in accordance with these Terms, your Membership will start on the confirmation date and will be automatically renewed each year.
The ILA annual membership is subscribed and valid for an entire calendar year, i.e., from 1 January to 31 December. The annual membership fees are available on the ILA Website. No pro rata is applicable, except in the following circumstances:
• New Application form submitted as from 15 July are granted a 50% discount
• New Application form submitted as from 1 December will only be invoiced for the following year. The new members can, however, benefit immediately from their membership.
We reserve the right to refuse any Membership Application at our complete discretion. If we refuse your Membership Application, we will inform you of our decision as soon as reasonably practicable.
If we accept your application to be a Member, but it subsequently turns out that any or all of the information provided by you was misleading or false, we reserve the right to revoke your Membership with immediate effect.
All updates and membership information will be sent via email. Communications will be sent to you at the email specified in your Application Form. We accept no responsibility or liability if you do not update the details specified in your Application Form with your current email and/or postal address.
To ensure that the categorisation assigned to each corporate member is correct, ILA carries out random categorisation checks. If a check reveals a categorisation error, it will be corrected and a rectifying invoice for the current calendar year will be sent to the corporate member.
MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
Membership packages (including applicable benefits (“Membership Benefits”)) vary according to the category of Membership held. The details of our current Membership packages, including all benefits and grading, are available on our Website and are subject to these Terms. Please note that these details may change over time.
Use of any Membership Benefits are strictly limited to named members only.
BILLING, AUTOMATIC RENEWAL & TERMINATION
ILA invoices the individual member or the corporate member (the “Member”), according to the standard membership category of the Member, at the beginning of each year or, if applicable, at the time the Member joins ILA.
The annual membership invoice is payable immediately into the bank account stated on the invoice, quoting the invoice reference.
Should a Member wish to benefit from a specific billing arrangement for his/her/its membership (for example billing an individual membership to a company), they should send their request to [email protected] by 31 December of the previous year at the latest, providing the motivation of their request.
However, any billing arrangement can be refused by ILA without having to justify it. Under such billing arrangement, if the payment deadline is not met by the entity invoiced, the Member shall immediately become liable for the full amount invoiced under the arrangement.
When a change occurs that is likely to impact their categorisation, all members must inform ILA without delay.
Any member wishing to terminate their membership must inform ILA in writing via email to: [email protected] before 31 December to take effect the following calendar year.
Unless it is properly terminated by 31 December of the previous year, the ILA annual membership is automatically renewed, and the membership invoice is issued by ILA and is due. The annual membership fee is due in full and no refund, even partial, will be granted.
In case of non-payment of the membership fees and in accordance with the ILA articles of association and the ILA internal rules applicable, the Member is deemed to have resigned. In such circumstances, all services received by the Member prior to this resignation during the unpaid year will be re-invoiced at the non-member rate.
PREMIUM & PREMIUM GOLD MEMBERSHIP SPECIFICITIES
If, in addition to its standard membership, an ILA corporate member wishes to benefit from the advantages offered to Premium and Premium Gold membership packages, it should complete the Premium & Premium Gold subscription form, available on the ILA Website.
Premium and Premium Gold Members will receive a specific Premium or Premium Gold membership invoice at the beginning of each year or at the time the Premium or Premium Gold membership request is accepted.
Should a Premium or Premium Gold Member wish to benefit from a specific billing arrangement for its membership (such as billing a designated entity of the group to which it belongs), it should send its request to [email protected] by 31 December of the previous year at the latest.
Any termination of a Premium or Premium Gold membership must be notified in writing via email to [email protected] by 31 December to be applicable the following year.
Unless it is properly terminated by 31 December of the previous year, the annual Premium or Premium Gold membership is automatically renewed, and the membership invoice is issued by ILA at the beginning of the following year.
