Membership Rules
• By applying for membership you agree not to distribute CharityWise member only resources to non- members for any purpose, unless you have obtained our explicit prior written permission from a Senior Manager of CharityWise.
• You agree to only distribute CharityWise resources within your company/ charity and shall not distribute to any other non-member or third party, unless you have obtained our explicit prior written permission from a Senior Manager of CharityWise.
• Members with Organisational Membership (being the Micro, Small Medium and Large) are not permitted to invite others to join their own membership unless they are directly employed by the organisation.
• Where you are an individual and have signed up to the Individual Membership, we anticipate that you have purchased your Membership for the purposes of your own trade, business, craft or profession. As a result we believe that you are not purchasing the Membership as a Consumer (for the purposes of the Consumer Rights Act 2015). An example of where you would not be considered to be a Consumer would be where you are a contractor providing marketing (or similar) services to companies or charities.
• In the event that you are purchasing the Individual Membership for your own purposes which are wholly or mainly outside of your trade, business, craft or profession then you will be considered a Consumer. Where you are a Consumer you will have the right to cancel your Membership within fourteen (14) days of the Contract’s Commencement Date. If you are a Consumer and you wish to cancel your order, you will need to contact us to request a refund within 14 days and following this we will arrange for your payment to be returned.
• Before membership expiry the membership parent account will receive an email advising them that the membership is about to expire. Where a membership has cancelled their membership, the membership will not be renewed and you will need to re-apply for a new membership once the term has expired. Where a membership has opted into auto-renewal, we will automatically take payment in or around the renewal date (as notified to you in accordance with clause 5.3 of the Membership Terms).
• Organisations and individuals are not permitted to sell CharityWise memberships or member benefits unless they have obtained our explicit prior written permission from a Senior Manager of CharityWise. The terms of any on-selling will be governed by a separate contract in place with CharityWise.
