BWi is also committed to promptly responding to questions and feedback from Members.

4. Membership Commencement and Duration

Your Membership commences on the date of purchase and will automatically renew on a monthly basis until cancelled, either by you or by early termination in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. On renewal of your membership, these T&Cs apply to any renewal period.

This membership is issued to an individual person and is not transferable or intended for company-wide or shared use. It is strictly for the personal use of the named purchaser.

Any benefits of the Membership or access to the Members’ Area portal which are part of your membership will also be terminated (if you cancel your membership) or changed to reflect your new Membership level.

You can cancel or change your Membership level at any time. However, BWi will not provide a refund if you cancel, nor will we refund the difference if you change your membership level before the next billing period. No refunds will be issued for the remainder of the month. Please refer to section (9.) for more information.

An active membership is required to book and attend events using the Members' Area Portal. If you don't have an active membership, your booking(s) will be cancelled, and you'll be asked to pay the standard price for that event or recording.

5. Membership Levels, Benefits, and Cost:

You will be emailed in advance of the payment due to notify you of the upcoming charge. We accept most credit and debit cards. If you're preferred payment method isn't accepted or doesn't work at checkout, please contact book@businesswomenin.org so we can help.

If for any reason there is an issue with your payment, our booking system will follow these steps:

Retry Attempt: Our booking system will automatically re-attempt the charge 3 days after the failed payment
Repeated Attempts: If the payment still fails, our booking system will continue to retry and will notify you of this. You will also be asked to check your payment details and funds.
Final Notification: After several failed attempts, a final notification is emailed to you.
Cancellation: If all attempts fail, your subscription may be cancelled and your membership level changed to Standard (PAYG).

7. Individual Use of Membership

Individual Use: Memberships are for the sole use of the named purchaser and are not to be used on behalf of a company or shared with others.
Non-Transferable: Membership benefits, including bookings for events or workshops, are non-transferable and must only be used by the person who purchased the membership.
Booking Policy: All bookings made using the membership must be in the purchaser’s name. Bookings made under a different name may be cancelled at our discretion.
Misuse: Sharing membership access or using it to make bookings for others may result in the suspension or cancellation of the membership without refund.

8. Bookings Made Prior to Your Membership Start Date

Any PAYG bookings made prior to the start of your membership will be refunded based on your Membership level, as long as the refund request is made at least 7 days before the event starts.

This does not apply to On-Demand Recordings.

9. Changes to Membership Fees:
