Renewals and Term
We will send a notice prior to the end of the annual term, at which time you can cancel your membership by providing us notice by phone or email or through the website. Otherwise, the membership will be renewed for an additional annual term, whether or not a payment has been made by that time.
For Individual Members, your credit card will automatically be charged to renew your membership or an invoice for payment will be generated. Failure to maintain, or remove, your payment information from the My Account page does not constitute a cancellation or serve as notice of your interest in cancelling. Amounts remaining overdue for more than 30 days will be subject to a late charge of 1.5% per month from the date of invoice. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your membership if payment is not promptly received.

Provided you notify us, and pending our approval, you may transfer your membership, tuition, delegate registration, or other purchase to another individual or to a future program, of similar or lesser value, for a period of one year.
Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of your membership, your indemnification obligations shall survive for all purposes.
