Terms and conditions

The Fashion Minority Alliance offers different levels of membership, details of which
can be found on the MEMBERSHIP PAGE OF OUR WEBSITE. Individual members must be at least 18 years of age and the Fashion Minority Alliance reserves the right to refuse any application for membership or renewal.

Annual Partner Membership term is for a 12 month period from the date of acceptance by
Fashion Minority Alliance and, unless cancelled in accordance with the provisions below, will be automatically renewed for consecutive periods of 12 months from the expiry date and each year after it.

Monthly Partner Membership is for one calendar month from the date of acceptance by the
Fashion Minority Alliance. You shall not be entitled to bring this contract to an end during the initial period of your membership. At the end of the initial period, you can choose: (i) to continue with your membership on a rolling monthly basis or (ii) not renew your membership and allow it to expire. Monthly renewal of membership will occur on the same day of every month, from the date of acceptance.

The membership application form sets out the membership fee payable by you during the initial term. The membership fee for each renewal term will be the same as the membership fee payable during the initial term unless it is varied by the Fashion Minority Alliance.

We reserve the right to review and change membership fees periodically. Once your initial contract period has come to an end, if you choose to continue with your membership (i.e.by continuing on a rolling monthly basis), the membership fee will be charged at the new rate starting the following month.

When we vary membership fees, we will provide not less than 60 days’ notice to members. The new membership fee will be effective from the start of the next renewal term to commence after the date of the notice.

You are granted the member benefits during the term of your membership, according to your level of membership. The list of member benefits for each membership is set out on the membership page (MEMBERSHIP PAGE).

The benefits offered to members may change. When this occurs, we will update the information on our website.

As a member of the Fashion Minority Alliance, we expect you to:

Support the Fashion Minority Alliance’s published aims and objectives by sharing expertise with other members and partners through attending events, contributing to insight opportunities and participating in activities and initiatives (where appropriate) as part of the Fashion Minority Alliance’s non-profit remit;

Keep all contact information up to date to ensure that listings on the Fashion Minority Alliance website are accurate;

Contribute to the development of the British fashion community through open dialogue with the Fashion Minority Alliance;

Continue to uphold the exceptional standards for which the beauty industry in the UK is renowned.

If you are in breach of the clauses set out in these Terms then we reserve the right to terminate your membership immediately, without a refund.

If your membership fees become overdue, we reserve the right to refuse you access to our Fashion Minority Alliance website members zone and/or refuse you access to a pre-paid webinar or event until the overdue sums are paid in full. If you have pre-paid for a webinar or event, but have allowed your membership to expire we reserve the right to cancel your booking and refund you to the payment method provided on booking.

Should you default on payments to us (after we have tried to collect payment twice), you will cease to be a member.

Members can cancel their membership via their ‘Manage My Account’ page, up until the day of renewal.

You can terminate your membership in the Fashion Minority Alliance at any time. If we terminate your membership or you choose to end your membership with us, you must immediately remove the Fashion Minority Alliance members badge from any publicity material, website and/or other medium on which you have included it.

As a consequence of ceasing to be a member, you will no longer have any access to the benefits offered by the membership.

One of the benefits of membership is enhanced access to the Member Zone. Upon registering as a member, you will provide a unique email address and password for log-in details. You agree to keep this password confidential and will not disclose or share it with anyone. Please note that you will be responsible for activities and orders that
occur or are submitted under your password.

If you know or suspect that someone else knows your password you are responsible for notifying us immediately. Access to the membership area of our website is for named individuals only and is password protected. Password and login details are non-transferable; anyone found sharing their password and login details will have their
membership immediately terminated without refund of fees.
