Socially Shared membership terms & conditions

Socially Shared Business Network Membership Terms and Conditions

Membership Eligibility: The network reserves the right to refuse membership to any individual or business. We are an inclusive women’s network and all those who identify as ‘women’ are welcome to apply for membership and attend Socially Shared Events, regardless of business, background and/or experience.

Membership Benefit Packages: Access Solo and Spotlight benefit packages are registered to an individual member and cannot be transferred to anyone else. 

Access Team membership belongs to a business and there is no limit to the number of employees that can benefit from discounted tickets to regular meetings or special events. If a business with ‘Access Team’ membership wants to send employees to any of the masterclasses or workshops organised by Socially Shared for the ‘Spotlight’ package, they can at a discounted rate of 25%. 

Masterclasses, Workshops & Business Development Days: These will be held at set days throughout the year and if a member is unable to attend any event within their membership package, refunds are not available. However if a member wants to gift their place to someone else to attend they can, but they must notify us via email (admin@sociallyshared.co.uk) of the name, any accessibility or special dietary requirements of the person attending no less than 14 days before the event date.  

Any Access Solo member that wishes to attend a masterclass that is in the Spotlight Package, will be able to do so at the special member discounted rate of 25%. 

Photo and Video Shoot Days: It is the responsibility of the member to liaise with the Membership Manager to book and arrange their photo and video shoot booking. There will be a number of dates available for bookings throughout the year, held at a variety of venues. These sessions are not transferable to anyone else, they are purely for the individual member.

Membership Fees: Membership fees are non-refundable. Fees are due on a monthly or an annual basis, depending on the membership option selected. If you choose a monthly payment plan, you are obliged to fulfil the payments until the full complete annual balance has been settled. Members are responsible for ensuring that their membership fees are paid on time. Any late payments of more than 5 working days from the due date, will incur a late payment fee of 25%.

Termination: The network reserves the right to terminate the membership of any member who violates these terms and conditions, or engages in behaviour that is detrimental to the network. If a member decides to cancel their membership at any point during their 12 month obligation, they can, but the member will be liable to pay any outstanding balance between their full 12 months membership cost and the amount already paid. Any outstanding balance will be invoiced and will be due for payment within 28 days from the date of the invoice. 

Membership Renewal: Current members will receive an email approximately 4 weeks prior to their membership expiring, from our Membership Manager notifying them of their upcoming renewal date. Members will also receive an automated system renewal reminder email 2 weeks prior to their membership expiring. If a member does not want to renew their membership, they MUST notify the Membership Manager of their wish to cancel in writing no less than 2 weeks prior to the membership expiry date. If a member fails to inform us of wanting to terminate their membership before ‘auto renewal’, then the member will be liable for each month of membership monies due, until a ‘2 week notice to cancel email’ has been received. Notifications must be sent to admin@sociallyshared.co.uk

Membership Confidentiality: All confidential information and member data will be collected, stored and protected in accordance with UK Data Protection laws and in line with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) guidelines. 

Intellectual Property: Members agree to respect the intellectual property rights of other members, and to not use or share any content or materials without permission from the copyright owner.

Liability: Our limitation of liability clause states the network is not responsible for any losses or damages incurred by members as a result of their participation in the network. Socially Shared is not liable for any knowledge and information shared within the network, digitally or verbally.

Terms & Conditions Update Disclaimer

Please note that these terms and conditions may be updated from time to time and  members will be notified by email within 14 days of any changes made. The updated version will supercede all others and responsibility falls to the member to act accordingly to the renewed terms and conditions.
